On Wednesday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A fellow came and took me to my dentist's office. While I waited, I met and talked to Dana, a friend of the family. Then the receptionist told me that I was in the wrong place. My calendar definitely said the dentist this time, but I remembered two previous occasions when I'd confused my dentist and my podiatrist, whose names are both Japanese and start similarly, though they end differently. So, I called my podiatrist. Yes, I had an appointment with them, but an hour later than I had in my calendar. I hung up, thought about this. It was less than five minutes to my podiatrist, but 20 minutes home, and another 20 back, and I didn't have a full hour anymore. I called my podiatrist again. Yes, the gal assured me I could go early. So, I contacted Uber, and a different fellow came and took me to my podiatrist. I waited a bit, but the fit me in early enough, the appointment ended about the time it was scheduled to begin. Then i contacted Uber again, and a third fellow came and took me home. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in again. She closed her eyes a lot but opened them to look at some of the pictures, especially the ones of kids. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a Christmas card from her sister's friend. After that, I continued with some pictures in _Babies & Toddlers Happy Book_. Then I read the first story from _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with October 30th's story, "The Picture," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my head exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me home. Nothing really fit for the earlier Uber rides, but they worked nicely for that one. I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. Then, after playing City of heroes for part of the evening, I did my salsa dancing warm up set. After a break, I did the first piece I do less structured salsa dancing to for 14 3/4ers minutes of salsa dancing. I stopped there partly because it was late, but also because I just didn't want to overdo it after yesterday's knee trouble. {smile}
Over lunch, and afterwards a while, I played Vindictus. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten in the middle long, large-group event, and joined it joined before they got to the big bad this time. We got together, and Pierogies joined us. Just then, the late long, large-group event began recruiting, surprising us with how early it was. All three joined that event. Afterwards, I fixed up my character, and the three of us ran a couple of missions to test it before I went to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I looked the half filled out absentee ballot I had. I answered the county charter amendments I hadn't answered, then looked up the offices I could vote for that I didn't know. I picked candidates, then prepared it to mail, and handed it to our nurse. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Especially with the voting, I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I found a giant monster team, but we had trouble One left, and we recruited some others, including Phonso and Kitten. I tried talking to Nox, but was busier with the game than usual, so we talked less. Some left after those giant monsters, and Phonso ended up leading the team. He found a pair of giant monsters, but a zombie apocalypse found us before we started on them. So, we fought the zombies until they stopped. Then we fought the giant monsters next. After that, Phonso found one more giant monster, and we fought it. A couple of my new acquaintances joined us. Then Phonso left; and I got the team. We fought two more giant monsters before the team broke up. Kitten went to help the acquaintances gain a few levels on low-level characters. The one stranger who hadn't left and I tagged along. I left my character quiet in the game while I danced, then began writing and making note in this. Then I went back to the game and the same group. We chatted until Kitten and the acquaintances left. Then I did a little more dancing, some paperwork, and finished writing and making notes in this. {Smile}
