Daily Update, April 4, 2024

    Thursday, I stayed home, thought about stuff, and then started revising my story. I started wit. the least major of the major revisions, and I'm working my way up to the tougher stuff. It is good to make progress in writing it again. {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 started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a card from church, and a long card from her sister's friend. Then I read more from _Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats_. Then I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "A Proper Princess," which was about Princess Jasmine taking an interest in the complaints in some letters from her father's subjects. Lastly, I ended with the 4th of April's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The New Baby!" {Smile}

   I did my standing arm weight training exercises, and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner today. Then I did my arm swinging exercises after I finished teaming for the evening, while my character sat in one of Pierogies' farms. However, I was unsteady, and stopped after around 4 minutes because I didn't feel safe. I don't have a harness like they do at physical therapy. I did do my head exercises after that, but that's all I managed before it got too late, I'm afraid. {smile}

   I read articles and comics in the morning and over lunch. Then I started writing my story and Wednesday's daily update, going back and forth between them. Next, I played Cross Stitch World. Then I cleaned myself up before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Kitten was quiet, but Pierogies was talkative. He wanted to do the later long, large-group event, so we did. That gave us a bit more time to talk before reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. This time Kitten was talkative. I debated which character to play, changing just before we started to team up. We ran a few of my missions. Nox tried to talk just before heading to bed, but I noticed too late. Kitten asked for first one friend then another to join. I added each. We switched to doing the missions of one of the friends. The one whose missions weren't being run left, and the three of us continued the mission of the one who stayed, with a bit of time in an April Fools event. Yes, that's still going on. I'm slightly surprised, but okay. Back to the missions. they ran several quickly, to reach the end of the arc before I started exercising. We succeeded. Then I met Pierogies. We talked a little, and I joined him in a farm. Then I started the exercises, until trouble with salsa dancing stopped that. So, I talked more with Pierogies, and shared something with a few friends in chat and instant messaging. I finished by writing this up, well, mostly making notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
