After breakfast, I contacted Uber, and a chatty fellow came and took me to church. I did enjoy talking with him much of the way down. I got to church during the announcements. I think the service was pretty nice. Afterwards, we had lunch on the lanai. I put my things down in the usual place. So many sat next to me, Auntie Barbara had to sit down at the table from me. When I got up for dessert, I moved over to sit next to her. Then we got to catch up with each other. {Smile}
As expected, every seat in her car was taken for the ride home. However, she'd arranged for me to ride home with home communion, which was visiting this week. Our first stop was at a nursing home near our house. I walked int with them, so we could visit a friend of the family who is there. It was one of her good days; she was alert, and aware, and pretty talkative. Then we went to my house. It was a good day for Mom, too. She wasn't talkative, but she was awake and took home communion happily. That's how her good days are now. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I went in but not asleep, just sleepy. She woke up a little when I showed pictures while reading her niece's letter, and really woke up when we got to the babies. She stayed awake after the babies, too. I think she enjoyed the pictures and the readings, too. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Next, I continued _Picture Book Babies_. Then I read a couple of stories - or two parts of a longer story - in _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. I finished with November 10th's story, "Grumpy Rabbit," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I had a long walk in and long walk out to see Karen. It felt like a block's worth of walking each way. Later, I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. I did my head exercises after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming most of the evening. I was surprised that I actually felt tired after them; that walking must have been more exercise than I realized. At least with feeling tired, I don't feel as guilty that it was too late to do more. {Smile}
After home communion, I got on my computer and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies in the middle long, large group event. I joined it and finished it with him. Then we ran missions together afterwards until they left. After that, I played Vindictus until it was time to read to Mom. I started a talk mission like I haven't seen there before. {Smile}
After dinner, I finished the talk mission, which took a while. I did not expect it to be that long. Part of it was that it was a murder mystery, and I went about it methodically, only skipping steps if the game did. Then I finished Saturday's daily update before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten in a taskforce by themselves. They stopped and let me join by restarting it. They actually restarted it twice because they were concerned the mission wouldn't get them what they wanted. When they realized it would, they went on after inviting Divi who happened to be nearby. The three of us did the whole thing even though we doubted we could handle the two biggest bad guys in it. I also talked with Nox a little, but not much. Near the end of the taskforce, Chrome came in to say hi. He stayed for two quick missions. I switched characters for them, since the character I'd done the taskforce with had gotten my goal for her with a nice cushion. Then I did minimal paperwork before I did my head exercises. Next, I peeked at Vindictus before writing and making notes in this. {Smile}
