Daily Update, November 11, 2024

On Monday, I got a text from The Fire Ant Guy. We arranged by text for him to come Wednesday and treat the property. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom seemed asleep when I went in, and didn't seem to wake, but I read in case she heard or sensed me by her anyway. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I tried to start _Childhood memories Picture Book_ but decided to restart it some day when she's opening her eyes for the pictures. After that I read a couple of stories - or two parts of a longer story - in _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with November 11th's story, "Carlo the Barber," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. then I did my head exercises after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming most of the evening. After a short break, I did my salsa dancing warmup, and after a longer break, I did my less structured salsa dancing, for twenty and a quarter minutes of salsa dancing between the two sets. I did it like the therapist suggested I do my exercises, with the new exercise done at the same time. That made it trickier, but I did the best I could.

Over breakfast and through most of the morning, I played Vindictus. Then I read comics before and over lunch. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies in the early long, large-group event. I joined it partway through. Afterwards, we got together and teamed up on lower-level characters. We ran quite a few missions. At first, we did his missions. Then we switched to mine when he ran low on new missions. Eventually he wanted a break before the later long, large-group event. We said goodnight, and I went to clean myself up before dinner. I got done and started reading to Mom at about the right time. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Sunday's daily update, with more and longer Cross Stitch World breaks than I quite intended. I also read comics before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming on the late side. I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Divi while playing by myself, since none seemed to want to get together with me. Then Dennis said hi, and we got together. We did a couple of high-level individual missions. Then we started his character's intro to the end game, since he'd just reached that on the character he was playing before teaming up with me. I guess we did a few missions, but only one with real fights. Yes, we stopped after the first mission with real fights, where it matters. Then we stopped. he'll finish that another day, maybe with me, or maybe with someone else. We said goodnight. Then I did my exercise and dancing. Between the dancing sets I read comics and played Cross Stitch World. After the last of the dancing, I began writing in this, and made notes here, too. I did peek at Vindictus, which was down for maintenance earlier, but had just come back. {Smile}
