Daily Update, April 7, 2024

    On Sunday, I contacted Uber, and they came and took me to church. I arrived slightly before the service, thanks to getting to bed slightly earlier the previous night, to Auntie Barbara's delight. It was a nice service, with a surprise guest preacher. Unfortunately, our priest had family trouble which drew her away, but he found a substitute. {smile}

   Lunch was nice afterwards, though the spread was much smaller than the previous Sunday, but that's to be suspected the week after Easter, after all. Auntie Barbara took me how and visited with Mom for a bit. Mom seemed a bit more tired than usual, but still sang six songs with us. 

   I'm beginning to learn about thick fog, especially the fog that's actually a cloud touching land. that's what I'm really looking for, if anyone has something to share about that. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner, right after watching our nurse's family members in the parade. Mom roused from her rest when I said hello, and mostly looked at the pictures I showed her while reading. First, we watched a bit of the Merrie Monarch Parade with the nurse. Two of his family members were in one of their marching bands, and I got there right before they were on. So, we just had to watch them, of course. After that, I began reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that, I continued _Memories 1950's_, reading her the next several pages. Next, I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "Aurora Plays the Part," which was about Sleeping Beauty. Lastly, I ended with the 7th of April's poem from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Snowball's Sweet Tooth." {Smile}

   I did my head exercises while waiting for Uber before church. Then I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then a while after teaming, I did my salsa dancing warmup, followed quickly by my sitting arm weight training. 

   After Auntie Barbara left, I finished Saturday's daily update. Then I played some Cross Stitch World and got a bill paid before I cleaned myself up. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. He was wondering if the later long, large-group event was going. It soon started recruiting and may have started a little later than usual these days. We both ran it, and talked for a little while afterwards, until time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began to write this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dr. Faustus and said hi. He wasn't doing anything, so we teamed up. I picked a character. We finished the story arc she was on. I also started to chat with Nox on the chat server. We kept at it until they went to bed. Meanwhile, Dr. Faustus and I continued with the next story arc in the series and started a third before he needed to go. Then I did my exercises, read some comics, watched a video, and played a very little Cross Stitch World around my exercises. I also wrote a bit more of this and made notes to write from the next day.
