On Sunday after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A gal came, and we had a nice chat as she took me to church. There, I sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle. It was a nice service. For lunch on the lanai, I sat down near my usual place. Auntie Barbara and Michelle sat at another table, so when I got up to check the desserts, I moved to sit with them to finish up. {Smile}
After lunch, we went to island naturals because it was their customer appreciation day. Then they took me home. Auntie Barbara came in with me to visit with Mom, while Michelle stayed outside, and checked our lemon trees, picking a lemon or two despite them being green. They insist the green ones have plenty of juice, though Dad said you got more if you let them ripen. At this point, I'm not arguing, since they're the main ones picking anyway. It's hard for me to walk on the grass around them, even though they're really close to the driveway. I can check a little of the bigger one from the driveway, and that's it. {smile}I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I left the game moderately late. Mom was resting when I went in but responded and woke up pretty well. She was slightly slow looking at the pictures at first, but the babies helped wake her up, and then she was awake. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I continued _The Picture Book of Babies_ and was again rewarded with seeing her pay more attention. Next, I read two longer poems and a story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended by reading the 11th of August's story, "Peter's Fish," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my arm resistance exercises and my head exercises while waiting for Uber. Then I did my arm swinging exercises after dinner. After teaming for the early evening, I did my standing arm weight training exercises. then, after a longer break than I meant to break, I got my sitting arm weight training exercises done. After another short break, I did my leg exercises. Then, after a longer break, I did seven of my 14 walking exercises. then I was tired enough, I had to sit down, and it was late to continue later. Maybe I should add that the eighth and the fourteenth are very tiring, and the seventh and thirteenth only somewhat less so. I was tired enough after the seventh tonight, I knew I wasn't ready to tackle something even worse. {rueful smile}
After Auntie Barbara left, I sat down at my computer. A quick check of conversations on the chat server turned into well over two hours of checking music videos, first for examples, then for a poignant song, then for less poignant songs to break the mood that had inspired. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork and was still at it when Pierogies found me. I dropped the paperwork (it will keep) and we teamed up. Then Dennis came on, found me and joined us. We did a mission or two of mine. Then we did a mission Dennis had that got us each a badge. Next, we ran the story arc that mission was in for another badge. After that, I left to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner and exercises, I started writing this up. Then I read some comics before I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paper, and talked with Ulty, who was just winding down, until she left. Next, I looked around and spotted someone doing a couple of individual missions I often solo. I joined them, and another joined us, too I must say it's more fun with company. After two of those missions, the others left. I got back to my paperwork until Dennis came in and said hi. We talked and teamed up. We started with another badge mission, netting each of us two more badges. Then I switched characters, and we did a few of my missions, making five in one day for my fourth best badge collector. She's gotten the easiest that rack up fast, so this is a good haul for her. During this, I said hello to Nox on the chat world, but didn't notice when they responded until a fair while later. In the meantime, they'd gone to bed, so I just said goodnight too. Then I started my exercises and got back to writing a little of this. Next, I watched some videos and played some Cross Stitch World before I wrote some more of this and started making notes in this, too. then I did more exercises and wrote more of this and made more notes. After that, I played a little Cross stitch World before finishing what exercises I did that day. I finished out the evening with some City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork, reading another comic, and finishing making notes in this. {Smile}
