Daily Update, November 17, 2024

On Sunday after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A fellow came and took me to church. The service was nice, as was the lunch afterwards on the lanai. I sat with Auntie Barbara but took a break to talk to two others who were off in a vestry meeting, I think. I didn't mean to interrupt, so I made it quick. {smile}

After lunch, Auntie Barbara took me home. She came inside to visit with mom. We sang all or part of five songs with Mom, Mom got at least one line of all five, sometime much more. {Smile}

I met Div in Vindictus today. He said he hadn't been online in a month but came back because I kept mentioning this game. We teamed up and played a lot, and talked a bit, too. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was pretty much awake when I went in despite me arriving late because teaming with Div ran late, and then there were the goodbyes after that. Mom looked with apparent interest at all the pictures I showed her, especially the pictures of babies. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read three cards, one from her cousin's granddaughter, one from her cousin (not the one with that granddaughter), and one from me. After that, I continued sharing pictures in _the Picture Book of Babies_. It's the big one, and many of the babies are wearing costumes - more so than our other baby and child themed picture books. Next, I read a story in _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_. I finished with November 17th's story, "A Secret Lodger," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

Late in the evening, I did five walking exercises along with two new exercises holding up pelvic floor, and holding my abdomen in. Then I did my arm resistance exercises. After a break, I did three more walking exercises along with the new holding exercises. After another break, I did my head exercises and four more walking exercises. No, didn't get the last two, but I had t take a lot more breaks because the added holding exercises made me tire much more quickly. {smile}

After I got home, I hopped into Vindictus, and started my usual solo play. This got sidelined very quickly when Div said hi. We teamed up and did content there for the rest of the afternoon, right up until I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I hopped back into Vindictus for some solo talk missions. Then I began to write up Sunday's daily update with a break to begin making notes in this. After that, I answered Kitten and Pierogies on the chat server. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Divi. Divi invited me to run a strike force with him and his friends, which I gladly did. Then I did some paperwork and made more notes in this. After that, I started exercising with breaks that included more notes in this. In one break, I looked at City of Heroes: Homecoming and discovered a time-consuming change I'd made hadn't done what I expected and wanted it to do. While I was wondering what to do about this, I discovered that Chrome was on. After a little more exercise, we teamed up for two missions. Pierogies joined us during the second one. Then Chrome and I left, and I finished making notes in this, {Smile}
