Daily Update, April 3, 2024

    On Wednesday, a while after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A fellow came and took me to Life Care Center, where I had physical therapy. They took me after a short wait, and physical therapy went well, with a decent time on the exercise machine to start, and a session with the harness following. For salsa dancing, I tried some fast double turns. The harness really helps me with those; I'm not steady then, but I'm already getting better, between the little practice I got, and some tips the therapist gave me. Afterwards, I contacted Uber, and a different fellow came and took me home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I got there. She roused when I said hello, and looked at the pictures I showed her while reading. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I read a card from the nursing card, one from church, and one from each of her sisters. Next, I finished _Memories 1970's_. I followed that with a few pages from _Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats_, picking up where I'd left off to read the book about the 1970's that I'd given her for Easter. Then I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "Ariel Makes Waves," which was about the princess in The Little Mermaid while she was still a mermaid. Lastly, I ended with the 3rd of April's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Hoppity's Friends." {Smile}

   Wednesday, my exercise was my physical therapy. They made sure I got a good workout, so I don't need another. {Smile}

   I read some articles over breakfast until it was time to go to physical therapy. Then I read more articles and played Cross Stitch World over lunch. Next, I finished writing Tuesday's daily update before cleaning myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Kitten, who was unresponsive, and Pierogies, who chatted with me. Then Pierogies encouraged me to join the later long, large-group event, which was just beginning to recruit. We did and ran it when they'd recruited enough. After that, we chatted for a little until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started to write this up. Next, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Kitten. We teamed up, and they pointed out another good friend of theirs who recently befriended me. She was on a low-level character. We joined her, and I got a low-level character who had some overlap of missions with her. We ran some missions until she got tired and left for bed. Then she left, and Kitten and I ran several of my character's missions, since they're low enough, most were short. I said goodnight to Nox on the chat server; we again missed chatting earlier. Then Kitten got thoroughly distracted talking with a friend on another character. Kitten asked about working on a self-improvement badge, and I found a character who needed it. We ran that, then I led the first part of a similar badge before leaving to write this. After leaving, I played some Cross Stitch World and read a comic before settling into making notes to rite from the next day. {Smile}
