First, I'm sorry this escaped with just the next paragraph into email. I was tired from the bank wrangling that paragraph describes, and didn't realize this was a new, mostly not written letter until I'd hit send. {rueful smile}
On Tuesday, I spent most of the morning trying to set up online banking at HFS Federal Credit Union, my main bank for my own account, and connecting it to my PayPal account. I was successful in setting things up so that I can log into HFS. However, when I give the same login information to PayPal. they can't complete the transaction. I called my bank about it, and they referred this problem to a different department. I thought I was done with banking for the day. {Smile}
The bank did call me back after lunch but couldn't really help me before I tried it again. I had to hang up to do that, and I couldn't get back to my bank after that failed again. Then I tried to connect a specific account to PayPal, instead of my entire online account. They said they can't do it that way, either, without more help, and to contact them. Reading that made me feel tired just thinking about the next step, so I think I need to finish this another day when I am fresher. {resigned smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in, and looked at the pictures I showed her, but didn't say anything. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read her more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Next, I started "The Picture Book of Vintage Vogue," Describing each picture and reading what words stood out for me on each cover pictures, for it's all Vogue cover pictures from the late 1800's and early 1900's. After that, I read the next story in _5 Minute Disney Junior Stories_, "Training Daze." I finished with the 23rd of January's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Two Kittens." Kelly and Kitty were two brown-and-rust-colored kittens. One day, they went to the vegetable garden looking for adventure. They played together until it started to rain. Kelly suggested hiding under a big cabbage, since they'd get wet if they ran for cover. So, they did. But Kitty backed up in fright when something landed by her and waves it's head at her. "Run! It's a dragon!" she cried, and they ran back home, getting soaked through on the way. They told their mother who said it was caterpillar, not a dragon as she licked them dry. {Smile}
I did my head exercises while sitting in a farm with Pierogies, between videos we were watching as he wound down for the evening. After he left, I did my arm resistance exercises. then I did my salsa dancing warmup set, followed by a less structured set with two pieces, for almost 21 minutes of salsa dancing. No, I didn't get all my exercises done, but this is a lot, considering what I've been doing since the root canal. {Smile}
I was mainly working with my credit union and PayPal in the morning, but I did play the cross-stitch game when I thought I was done. Then I read some comics and got the phone call that got me working on the credit union and PayPal again. When I really was done, I wrote the part about my morning and early afternoon while it was still fresh in my mind. Then I cleaned myself up and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming later in the afternoon. I found Pierogies, and we chatted about our day. Then we teamed up for a couple of missions. This took us to time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I tried to join the late-night short, large-group event, but the zone was full. I looked around and tried saying hi to some friends. Pierogies responded, so we chatted a little. Then we teamed up on mid-level characters for a couple of missions. After that, we settled into a farm, switching to high level characters for better rewards. I think I slipped in writing more of this, too. We chatted a fair while before we started watching videos of a friend of his who'd been a standup comic. We chatted a bit more, then Pierogies went off to bed. I chatted with Nox on the chat server for a while. I chatted with Phonso and Mo in City of heroes: Homecoming, too. When we were done, I wrote a little more of this, looked into some games I'm wondering about trying, read some comics, and made notes to write this from the next day.
