On Tuesday, after dinner, I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara We caught up with each other, and planned an celebratory lunch on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom seemed asleep when I went in, but did open one eye at one point when I was talking to her. I read in case she heard or sensed me by her anyway. She roused quickly enough for the nurse afterwards, I'd almost think she was listening with her eyes closed, but usually folks don't rest with their mouth open quite that way when they're awake. Anyway, I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I skipped over _Childhood Memories Picture Book_ when she didn't open her eyes when I said there were pictures of children. Next, I read a couple of stories - or two parts of a longer story - in _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. They were different stories or parts of stories than the day before, since she was still mostly out of it. I finished with November 12th's story, "Going Sliding," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did two of my head exercises while playing City of Heroes this evening, and the other three right after that. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set while doing the Kegel exercise variant my therapist recommended. I'm getting better at dancing while doing that. After a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for a total of around 20 1/4 minutes of salsa dancing.
Over breakfast, I browsed the web. then I took a short nap. After that, I played Vindictus right through lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with a little paperwork, then joined the middle long, large-group event. After it was over, I found Pierogies as we were discussing getting together, Jenny's Player invited me to tougher version of a particular taskforce. Pierogies said he preferred to take a break, but I should go ahead. (Two taskforces and a strike force have tougher versions on City of Heroes; Homecoming.) I ran it with jenny's player, Ulty, and their friends, and a few strangers who joined us. At least I think they were strangers. I discovered and got a badge only available in the tougher version of this particular taskforce. Then Pierogies said hi near the end. We talked afterwards and teamed up for a hunt until I left to read to Mom.
After dinner, I wrote up Monday's update and played a little Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote and made notes in this before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started on paperwork. Then Pierogies said hi and asked me to come see his new costume. I admired it and we talked. Then he left, and I did surprisingly extensive paperwork, finding two bunches I didn't realize I still needed to do. I also began talking to Nox on chat server and made some notes in this until Dennis came in. We teamed up and ran some old missions of his. I switched characters at just the right time to get a badge on the one of my characters I wanted it on the most, since the one I was on already had it. Then I switched again for one more mission before we said goodnight. Then I did my exercise and the first set of dancing. After that, I talked with kitten on the chat server and added notes and wrote in this. Then I did more dancing. Next, I watched a video and checked the chat server. I finished the day with more writing and notes in this. {Smile}
