Daily Update, March 11, 2024

    On Monday, I ordered prescriptions at breakfast time. I'd tried the night before, but the pharmacy was closed, and the automated system wasn't working. Yet the next morning, the automated system worked fine. {Smile}

   Then I revised the story I'm working on some more. I'm nervous about putting it up, but I also want it to be well polished when I do. I know a couple more polishing steps short of hiring an editor. Since the story will be a free sample of my work, I hope that's reasonable. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I got there. She rested at times while I read but did look at the pictures.  First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued the long family Christmas letter from her niece from 2019. Next, I finished _Cats on Quilts_. Then I fetched "The Happy Book: Babies," and told her I meant to give it to her on Valentine's Day, but I forgot. I showed her the front cover and read and showed her the first few pictures.  Next, I read "The Wild Swans" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_. I ended with the 11th of March's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Lily's Bell." {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and 2 of my 7 leg exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my head exercises, my arm weight training exercises, my other five leg exercises, my arm swinging exercises, my walking exercises, and my standing arm weight training exercises after teaming for the evening. {Smile}

   I played Cross Stitch World int he morning after the phone call, then switched to reading comics over lunch. then I finished Sunday's daily update and cleaned myself up before hoping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started talking to Dr. Faustus. He was visiting with a friend, and said he'd be free in a while. Then he suddenly invited me to join them, since the friend wanted to see the base of the group my villain joined. We did, and saw two more bases that Dr. Faustus has, then started to tour a public base but I had to leave partway through to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I found Kitten and dark right away. We talked a little and teamed up. We did a couple of my missions. Then Phonso came on, said hi, and invited us to a taskforce. We joined and ran it. I also said goodnight to Nox twice because they got into reading a story and didn't leave the first time. After the taskforce, Phonso wanted to run a trial, so we did. Dark had been planning to leave before, but it was short enough, they stayed for it, then left soon after. I also had a nice talk with Phonso, mostly about a part of the game he knows a lot more about than I do. Yes, this game is quite complicated enough, there are still parts I barely know.  then I did my exercises, played Cross Stitch World, read some more comics, and wrote a little of this, though I mainly just made notes to write from the next day for most of it. {Smile}
