Daily Update, March 5, 2024

    On Tuesday, I did a lot more thinking this morning, mostly while playing Cross Stitch World. It is good for thinking. It keeps me from being completely idle without needing all my attention. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. the nurse warned Mom was tired, but she looked at the pictures with a little prompting. She didn't say much, but she doesn't have to. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read and showed the pictures with a card from her sister, and a letter from a friend. Next, I continued _Cats on Quilts_. Then I read "Sleeping Beauty" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_ I got all the way through it this time. Lastly, I finished with two stories from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. I read the 4th of March's story, "Phillip's Dream" first. Then I finished with the 5th of march's story, "Who Am I?" {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then after I finished with City of Heroes, I did my leg exercises, my head exercises, my walking exercises, and my sitting arm weight training exercises. No, I didn't get my standing arm weight training exercises before it got too late to dot hem after a rest I needed, but the walking exercises are more exercise, so this was still an improvement over last night. {Smile}

   I read comics over breakfast and a bit afterwards, Then I found myself going to Cross Stitch World while I continued to think things through from yesterday. That took me through lunch. Next, I started to write up Monday's daily update. After that, I cleaned myself up. Then, I realized I hadn't finished writing up Monday's daily update, so I finished that. Only after that did I hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Pierogies, and we chatted while we did a couple of his missions. Then he left, and I did paperwork and solo hunts until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this, then hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I stumbled upon an unusually late long, large-group event, and joined it with a character who got the last special badge it gives, along with more typical rewards. A few of the members started hunting giant monsters. Since I was on my favorite type of character for that, I happily went along. We did a few monsters, then Pierogies came back on and joined us. We got a couple more monsters, and our leader and over half the team left. However, a new leader and few of us - including Pierogies and me - continued hunting giant monsters.  A few others joined, including Dr. Faustus. I also discovered that Nox had left for bed early. Then Phonso joined us for a few more monsters, and Dr. Faustus sort of took the lead towards the end. Next, the group mostly broke up. It was down to Phonso, Dr. Faustus, and me when I suggested we do a taskforce. Phonso picked the quickest of the specials this week, recruited some more members, and we did it. Then we said goodnight. I did a little paperwork next, and then did what exercises I could in the time left. (If I'd slipped that paperwork into a break, I could probably have gotten the other exercise I wanted to do done. After that, I read a couple of comics to wind down, and wrote a little of this and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
