Daily Update, September 25, 2024

On Wednesday I was back to deciding to about graphics cards because friends were pushing that the cards were too expensive for what they were I gave up and got it when I realized they didn't think to add shipping it out to Hawai'i. That's not cheap, and it has to be done, so it jacks up the cost. Then the gal assured me that installation was already included too, not in addition. That helped a lot. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in, even though I was late. She was interested in looking at stuff right from the start. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Next, I continued _Childhood Memories Picture Book_, first repeating wheat she was too tired to look at as much yesterday, then continuing with new pictures as well. After that, I read a story from _5-Minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I thought Mom seemed more interested in this story than usual. I ended with September 25th's story, "Cheeky Charlie!," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my head exercises and eight of my walking exercises before it got too late. That's not my best day, even just looking recently, but all I can do is try to do better the next day. {smile}

In the morning, I mostly researched graphics cards and played Cross Stitch World while thinking about graphics cards. I also talked with my British friend about them some. Then I had lunch, followed by more Cross Stitch World and thinking. Eventually I tried going into City of Heroes: Homecoming, but I kept going back to video cards until I got in contact with Dennis and Perogies that helped me settled down as we teamed up. First, we finished a story arc Dennis had. Then we did one mission from another story arc he had. Then he suggested doing someone else's, so we did a couple of my missions. That took us to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I took a long time thinking over stuff and playing CSW while I did. Then I finished writing Tuesday's daily update, though that was more a struggle than usual. That made me get into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I found Dennis in a taskforce, so I worked on paperwork and played solo while I waited for him to get out. Then I joined him and his group in a second taskforce on a moderately low-level character. I really enjoyed switching characters. However, I barely talked with Nox on the chat server; we mainly said goodnight. After the taskforce and minimal paperwork, I exercised and began researching other computer stuff. Then I began writing this and making notes in it, managing to finish entirely too late. {rueful smile}
