Daily Update, March 20, 2024

    After breakfast, I contacted Uber. A gal came and took me over to Life Care Center of Hilo. There, I learned that my physical therapy was supposed to be called off because they were so busy. The secretary had left a voice mail, but apparently my voicemail has stopped letting me know about new messages. I had to open it and hit refresh to find it. I'll have to remember to check it often. {sigh, resigned smile}

   However, my therapist said he didn't want to waste my ride since I had come, so he gave me a session after all. It was a good, challenging session that even ended with me showing him my salsa dancing moves. {Smile}

   Then I contacted Uber, and got Alan He came, and we had a lovely talk as he took me home.  We especially enjoyed going past the school with no line to get caught in. On Wednesdays, they've been letting out at noon. They started that in the early days of the pandemic and haven't changed. But this week is spring break, so no school and no line. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I got there and seemed somewhat interested in the pictures. I was late because when we were ready to wind down from teaming, Pierogies realized I had a timed mission. I hadn't noticed, and half the time had passed. We got it done in not much over half the time left, but that still made me start reading late. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read cards from two different cousins of hers, as well as a card from me. After that, I continued _Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats_. Then I read "How the Camel Got his Hump" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_. I finished with the 20th of March's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Judith's Friends." {Smile}

   I figured they worked me quite hard enough at physical therapy that I didn't need more exercise today. I won't be surprised if I do my walk exercises and not my salsa dance the next day, as well. {Smile}

   I read articles and comics, did a little work on yesterday's daily update, and played Cross Stitch World before going down for physical therapy. I read more articles and played Cross Stitch World after therapy, before and over lunch. Then I finished Tuesday's daily update after lunch. Next, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Pierogies, and an inactive Kitten. Pierogies and I got together. I set up my character's contacts, and picked one where we did two missions. I was just ready to start a short hunt before reading to Mom when he noticed I had a timed mission going. The first hour of two had passed, but we tried it, rushing it as much as feasible, and actually got it done in half an hour. That made me late reading to Mom, but it could have been worse. {Smile}

   I began writing this up and making notes in it between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I continued writing it up and making notes after dinner. Only then did I jump into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten active and did a mission with them. Phonso came in and invited us to a trial during it. We finished the mission since we were near the end and joined him. We ran the trial, and two more trials with Phonso and the folks he recruited. I said goodnight to Nox on the chat server during the first of the trials, because they were leaving early that night. After the trials, I helped kitten with a self-improvement badge until they seemed to fall asleep. Then I finished collecting a few badges for my character. Next, I collected four more for my fifth best badge collector. Following that, I read some comics, played some Cross Stitch World, and wrote a bit more of this, and finished making notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
