On Monday, I meant to work on my story, but somehow, I ended up just relaxing instead. Well, not relaxing; I did a lot of good, hard thinking about things, but they didn't really include my writing directly, so I'm not going to count that as writing. I guess I'll do more work on it another day. {smile}
I ate with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake, and she looked at the pictures, though she didn't say much. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read and showed the pictures with cards from her her niece, our financial adviser, a friend, and her cousin. then I continued _Cats on Quilts_. After that, I started to read a story in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_, "Sleeping Beauty." But the nurse interrupted us because he really needed to change Mom then. So, I didn't finish, nor did I get to today's entry from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. I'll just have to catch up some other day. {Smile}I did my arm resistance exercises and my leg exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner with her. Then I did my arm swinging exercises, head exercises, and sitting arm weight training exercises after teaming for the evening. {Smile}
Starting over breakfast, I checked out some comics. A series I very much, The Cursed Princess Club, had posted its finale. I checked it out, and a chatty follow-up from the author themselves, thanking folks for their help in producing the comic. I was happy to see the author plans to do more in that world, though at the moment, she's too busy reformatting the bookstore versions, for those who prefer bound or eBook. After that, I did Cross Stitch World most of the morning, and over and after lunch when it wasn't comics. Awhile after lunch, I finished the day-before's daily update. Then I cleaned myself up later than usual. After that, I did a little more Cross Stitch World. It lets me think while I play, since it takes so much less concentration than City of Heroes or other role-playing games. Also, I realized that game cash rewards are greater with small than extra-small, so now I'm trying to test medium. (The next morning, I learned that small-end medium isn't that much bigger than large-end small.) Eventually, I did hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Pierogies. He helped me begin to sort out all those thoughts I'd been busy with earlier. then we teamed, though we only had time for one individual mission before I left to read to Mom. Just before I left, Dr. Faustus invited me to an open house. I said I was leaving but would check when I got back. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. The open house had just closed, but Dr. Faustus teamed up and helped me with a story arc. Then he led me through an earlier story arc that he felt was related. That was a nice one, as was the solo mission he directed me to, tough that took two tries because my settings were too hard the first time, and I wasn't fully prepared. After that, Phonso invited us to a taskforce, which we joined and ran together. I also said goodnight to Nox on the chat server. Then I did some paperwork, and my exercises, followed by more Cross Stich World. I also looked for a book to borrow from the public library, but when I tried to check it out, I learned my card is expired. I'll have to go down to get it replaced, apparently. I also wrote this up, mostly taking notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
