Daily Update, April 10, 2024

    I contacted Uber after breakfast. They came and too me to the downtown post office. There, I mailed a collection of papers my financial adviser wanted. She promised to share them with the accountants they found for me. Then I contacted Uber again. They came and took me to physical therapy, where they wore me out, just like they're supposed to. Then I contacted Uber again, and they came and took me home. It was a busy and productive morning. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake enough when I got there and seemed to enjoy the pictures. I started reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that, I continued _The Picture Book of Vintage Vogue_, showing her the next several pages, and reading the date and issue's title, since most had titles. A couple of the covers didn't seem to have that information. Next, I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "Snow White and the Three Giants." Lastly, I ended with the 10th of April's poem from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "What Can You See," a counting rhyme. {Smile}

   Oh, I should mention that yesterday's "Billy the Kid," was about a young Billy goat by that name, not the outlaw. {Smile}

   My exercise was physical therapy; it left me even more tired than usual. I think maybe I should concentrate on my non-dancing exercises Thursday. {Smile}

   After coming home from physical therapy, I read web fiction and played Cross Stitch World over lunch. Then I finished writing up Tuesday's daily update before I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies, and we got together. He asked about the later long, large-group event later, but I felt like getting one of my characters through more missions. After a little confusion, we started working on them. We got a few done, playing right up to time to read to Mom. No, we didn't stop for the later long large group event. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Pierogies, but he didn't respond. He's probably left a character farming while he slept. I got into paperwork while waiting for a response, then started playing by myself for a bit. I also talked to Nox on the chat server more than I have been recently. That was really nice. I did some more paperwork and soloing after they left. I even started a new character and started planning out another new character. I also read a little more web fiction. {Smile}

   Part of me likes the freshness of web fiction, but I'm all too aware that I don't write fast enough to pull it off myself. They want at least a chapter a week. I've been working on one short story that's barely longer than a chapter so far for weeks... and I started with one that was already in rough draft form. I never want to share it until I've found a satisfying end anyway. {smile}
