Daily Update, September 30, 2024

On Monday, I just took things easy. That did include a morning nap, but a short one that let me do other things too. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in and interested in the pictures I showed her, despite me being late because I totally lost track of time. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read a card from church, and a card from each of her sisters. Then I finished _The 40 Cutest Mother & Child Photographs_. Next, I read a story from _5-Minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with September 30th's story, "The Visitor" in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. I did my arm swinging exercises right after dinner. After playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming for much of the evening, I tried salsa dancing at home for the first time since the toenail removal. I did the first piece of my warmup, but remembered the choreography at the end, after realizing I must have missed quite a few steps, and improvising steps at the end. So, I did it again with the usual choreography. I made it the end both times, but the second time I was really puffing. So, I stopped exercising. That's 6 1/2 minutes of salsa dancing. I think that's good for a first time in a few weeks. {SMILE}

Over and after breakfast, I did some web browsing Then I took that short nap and still had time to clean myself up before lunch. Then I played a little Cros Stitch World. next, I wrote some more of Sunday's daily update before I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Jenny's Player some, and tried solo play again, but I got distracted looking at monitors. I talked with Kitten about them until I realized it was past time to read to Mom and dashed off to do so. {Smile}

After dinner and some exercises, I ordered monitor to stop the distraction from it. Then I did some web browsing and finished Sunday's daily update. Next, I began writing and making notes in this before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did a little paperwork, then got distracted by talking with Kitten on the chat server. I came back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to find Dennis and Phonso trying to invite me to the longest taskforce in the game. I joined them, and Phonso recruited some more players. Then we ran it. I missed talking to Nox, who had an early night. I said goodnight when we finished, knowing they'd find that I'd remembered them the next day. After that I did some paperwork. Then I danced! It's the first time in weeks, and it feels so good to have gotten back to it! After the dancing, I watched some pieces of videos too long to watch all the way through that late. Then I did some paperwork both in City of Heroes: Homecoming, and outside of it. Then I finished writing and notes in this before going to bed. {Smile}
