I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara after dinner. She thought I'd had the toenail removed today and wanted to know how that went. No, that Monday. She's actually free Monday, and 10:30 isn't too early for her, so she wants to take me. I'm so relieved! I didn't fully realize it, but doing this by myself is more than a little daunting. {relieved smile}
I've started using the workbooks, kind of. I'm answering the first question in the grief journal in a blank book journal. they provided 1 1/2 pages for an answer that will take a few pages at least. I'm sure some other time, they'll provide more space than I really need. So, I write in a separate, blank book that will let me write as much or as little without making me cram here or teasing me with empty space there. I'm mostly writing during meals so far. {smile}
I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I left the game later again. Mom was resting when I went in. She did rouse and stayed awake even when i was interrupted. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I continued _The Happy Book Babies_. I was just winding down when the nurse said someone wanted me at the front door. Sure enough, it was the yardman with the monthly bill. I took care of that, then went back to Mom. After that, I read a story and two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with reading the 16th of August's story, "Planting Roses," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my standing arm weight training exercises, and my arm resistance exercises a little while after dinner. After teaming in City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup. However, I felt so dizzy afterwards, I tried to treat myself for unstable blood sugar and didn't manage to get it feeling good enough to try more exercises after that. {rueful smile}
After breakfast, where I think I started writing in the blank book journal, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. then I cleaned myself up before I had lunch with Mom. Next, I played more Cross Stitch World while thinking. Next, I finished Thursday's daily update. Then I hopped into city of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies, who wanted to make new characters and team on them. I took a while making one but did. Then we teamed up. We did the first story arc hero characters can do, and part of one of the sequels together. Kitten and Dennis joined us part way through the second one, not long before Pierogies left. Then I got some other missions and did a couple of them with Dennis. After that, I left to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner with Mom, I played Cross Stitch World and began taking notes and writing in this. Next, I did some exercises and wrote more in this. Then I played Cross Stitch World before hopping back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Kitten. We started to team up as I started talking with Ulty and Jenny's player. We joined them for a mission. Then Jenny's player left, tired. Ulty did one more, and Dennis joined us. Then Ulty left. I started talking with Nox on the chat server and continued off and on through much of the evening. Dr. Faustus said hi and joined us after Ulty left. We did a couple of Dennis's missions before Dennis left. Then we did a couple of my missions Kitten went quiet during the second of them. Dr. Faustus left after the second, so I worked on some paperwork. Eventually Kitten went offline. I did my salsa dancing, then tried to fix my blood sugar. That didn't work as well as usual, so I played Cross Stitch World, read comics, and worked on this, both writing and making notes. I broke for the Friday paperwork in City of Heroes: Homecoming, which I almost forgot. Then I finished making notes in this. {Smile}
