Daily Update, December 1, 2024

On Sunday, after breakfast I contacted Uber later than I like. They got me to church a way into the service. At least the part of service I saw was nice. After the service, I had lunch with Auntie Barbara. Our priest gave me bread for our nurse then, and I ordered memorial poinsettias as well. {Smile}

After that, Auntie Barbara took me home. She came in to visit with Mom, but Mom was fast asleep, so we didn't sing or anything. We did give the nurse his bread, and Auntie Barbara and I convinced him it was his, not Mom's. Auntie Barbra also told him about some Marshallese dishes she'd brought the day before and left in the fridge. They were left over from Thanksgiving. She wanted to share with him and his wife, who I think is Marshallese, or something close. Our nurse loved her thoughtfulness. {SMILE}

I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in about on time again. She certainly looked at all the pictures. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. After that, I continued showing her pictures in _the 40 Cutest Babies in the World_. Then I read from _365 Bible Stories and Prayers_, reading "God Tells Noah to Build an Ark," "The Flood," and "God's Promise." I finished my reading with December 1st's story, "The Legend of the Pine Tree" in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. Then I did my walking exercises in just two sets: eight exercises in the first set, and six exercises in the second, both with my tummy and pelvic floor tucked in. {Smile}

After I got home, I hopped into Vindictus. I still didn't find Div, so I started talking to the mercenaries, one of their solitary activities. Then I worked with my mid-level character. After a while, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, but no one was there, either. I did some paperwork, then went back to Vindictus for mercenaries on my low-level character. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I joined and ran the later short, large-group event. Then I joined the later long, large-group event. As it actually started, I realized it would end well after time to read to Mom. I stayed just through the Giant Monster. As it settled down after that, I made sure my team had a high-level leader and left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After diner, I hopped into Vindictus, giving the low-level character a little regular attention. Then I began makes notes and writing in this. Next, I wrote up Saturday's daily update, with a break for reading comics. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I started to look at a moderately low-level character. I also started talking with Nox on the chat server. Then Dr. Faustus said hi, and we began to get together for story arcs. Before we got far, Divi invited us to a strike force. We ran it with him, then finished out a story arc I had to catch me up to his character for next time. We struggled until Pierogies said hi and joined us. Then it went much better. After the story arc, I said goodnight to Dr. Faustus and left my character in Pierogies' farm at his invitation. I exercised, then watched videos, chatted with Pierogies in the game and Kitten on the chat server, and read comics between the exercise sets. I did some paperwork and notes in this after the exercise and farming were done. {Smile}
