Daily Update, October 26, 2024

On Saturday, I took it easy. I took no trips out, we had no visitors, I didn't even get a phone call. Just a nice, quiet, restful day. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in. I think she enjoyed looking at the pictures, especially the ones of kids. She even said she enjoyed one of the stories I read. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I showed her some pictures in _The 40 Cutest Children and Animal Photographs_. After that, I read a story from _Disney 3-Minute Bedtime Stories_. I ended with October 26th's story, "Flop-Ears' Treat," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

No exercise the day after physical therapy. I'm not aware of being tired, but I know I'll discover I'm still too tired to exercise if I try. {Smile}

After breakfast with Mom, I read comics and played Cross Stitch World into lunch. Sometime during lunch, I switched to writing Friday's daily update. I continued writing for a while afterwards, but didn't finish. When I stopped, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies and Kitten in the middle long, large-group event. I joined them just as they were finishing the big boss's fight. During the event, I helped one character start getting a reward they'd been missing. Afterwards, i told them how to get started on the end game with their character, who was newly eligible. I teamed up with Kitten, Pierogies, and the new person afterwards. We three helped them with the introductory story arc. Kitten and Pierogies left to join the later long, large group event one mission before the end. I stayed to do that last mission and help them through an introduction to the first end game zone. Then I introduced them to the individual high-level missions, and we ran one together. The new one left after establishing a connection, just after Kitten joined us again. Kitten and I did another individual mission. Kitten asked why I do them. The character I was on had depleted a lot of her game money helping to establish her grandkids, who are other characters of mine. When we were done, I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing Friday's daily update, with a break to play Cross Stitch World. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Kitten, Ulty, Jenny's Player, Divi, and Azurette. I ended up talking with Azurette. Then we teamed up, and Kitten joined us. I was on a moderately low-level character whose missions we ran most of the evening. I talked with Nox on chat server, too. A while into the run, I spotted an acquaintance from last night and said hi. They joined us, and the group of us finished out a half-done contact. I finally got the last drop I've been hoping for her! Near the end, we ran into a giant monster. I handed the star to the acquaintance and got a friend of theirs who's another acquaintance of mine to join. Then we did one last hunt, and I did a little paperwork and began writing and making notes in this before I cleaned myself up. Then I made more notes in this, with a break to read comics. {Smile}
