Daily Update, May 30, 2024

    I had video counselling in the morning after breakfast. I suddenly realized I was late to my counselling by a few minutes and hopped in as fast as feasible. My counselor warned me she'd have to leave promptly even though we were starting late. We had a good if slightly short session. {Smile}

   I also got a call from my priest, talking about how the replacement memorial plaques for Mom's mother and Dad's father were going to be. She asked me to check the spelling sent by text. I'm glad she did! Grandfather's name was fine. Grandma's first and last names were fine; they so often trip folks up; I made the spelling very clear from the start. However, Grandma's maiden name, which she used as a middle name after marriage, was close but not right. I got that straightened out, to both my and our priest's relief

   I ate lunch dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting when I came in, but roused and looked at things when I had stuff to show her. She responded a few times. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Next, I read the last few pages from _1940s Fashion in Pictures_ as well as the back cover. Then I read "Training Daze" from _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 30th of May's poem, "Flying High," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises, then after a break, my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises. It was late and I was tired to continue, so I stopped there... but I am getting back to my exercises. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World until my counselling. Then, after counselling, I read comics and wrote up Wednesday's daily update before lunch. After lunch, I read more comics and played more Cross Stitch World before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, who was tired, and Dennis, who planned to be busy, so I paused to clean myself up. I took longer than I meant to but did go right back into City of Heroes: Homecoming when I was done. I teamed up with Dennis, and we started to run missions. then Pierogies said hi, and joined us after the later long, large-group event. The three of us played up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   Then, after dinner, I started writing this up before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten and a few other friends, some of which I haven't been teaming with as much. We ran a mission of mine. Azurette joined us late. I also talked to Nox on chat server. Then someone suggested a zone's story arcs I was the right level for. I ran the first story arc, interrupted by a giant monster fight in the middle that's not part of that story. Azurette left right after the giant monster fight. The rest of us continued for a while. Pierogies joined us, then another left. Then two more left, and we were down to Kitten, Pierogies, and me. We finished the arc and talked about something I've been thinking about recently. Then I watched videos and did my exercises before I wrote a little of this and made enough notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
