Daily Update November 7,. 2024

On Thursday, after breakfast, I had my video counselling. We talked a lot about recent events. I think my counselor and I are both adjusting and figuring out how to adjust to them. {Smile}

I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in. I arrived on time if not slightly early. Mom stayed awake while I read, and looked at all the pictures, I think she looked most steadily at the babies. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I continued _Picture Book Babies_. Next, I read a story from _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with November 7th's story, "Grandfather," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my salsa dancing warmup after a rest after cleaning myself up after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening. Then I did my head exercises and arm resistance exercises during a break, along with Vindictus and a little writing in this. Then I tried to do more salsa dancing but had to stop. It was pretty late, and I found I was slowing down. Salsa is too fast a dance for that. {smile}

After counselling I played Vindictus, then had a late lunch. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got a low-level character, then noticed that Pierogies was in the middle long, large-group event. I finished a talk mission, then joined the middle long, large-group event after the big boss. I got some stuff, but not a lot by that event's standards. Pierogies didn't get as much as he hoped, either, and he started earlier. He asked about the character I'd started with, so I switched back. He got a low-level character, too. We ran several missions until he had to leave. Then I did a talk and a hunt, and a patrol mission that we'd skipped because they're either really solo work, or easy to do by myself. After that, I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with a relatively short break for Cross Stitch World. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Folks I particularly like to talk or team with were either not there or looked busy, but I saw someone I didn't know asking for someone to team with their low-level character. I grabbed a different low-level character than the one I used before dinner and teamed up with them. We did several missions until they left. Afterwards, I had only a talk mission, a patrol mission, and one regular mission to being able to go up in level. I did them and started to get the next contacts. Then I stopped when I realized it was good time to clean myself up, so I did that instead. After that, I read comics and started writing and taking notes in this. After that, I did my salsa dancing, then played Vindictus until I tried more salsa dancing, but that didn't work so well. So, I wrote and made notes in this, with a break for a video. {Smile}
