On Friday, I realized my left hearing aid could be worse than I thought it was. I mean, it would probably last until next Tuesday, when my next appointment was, but when my ears feel dead without their hearing aids on, probably isn't as reassuring as I'd like. So I called Hilo's Hearing Solutions Hawai'i, AKA Hilo Hearing Aid (not to be confused to Honolulu's Hearing Solutions Hawai'i, which Uber tried to send me to when I tried to ask for Hilo). Their receptionist suggested bringing them in that day, so I made an appointment for that afternoon. {Smile}
Then I tried to phone doctor, but got their answering machine, and left a message. {smile}
After breakfast, I contacted Uber, and a fellow took me to physical therapy. That went pretty well. A different fellow came and took me home after I contacted Uber afterwards. {Smile}
That afternoon, I contacted Uber again. A chatty gal came and took me down to my hearing aid appointment. We had a nice talk on the way down. The appointment went well. The fellow replaced the battery, which is rechargeable, but it was acting like it wasn't holding it's charge so well anymore. Afterwards, I contacted Uber again. They assigned me Alan and tried to tell me to walk down the block across a couple of streets. I told them to pick me up at the place, but it chose a block down instead. however, they assigned Alan, so I really didn't want to cancel. I texted him trying to say where I was. He asked the address. I found it, and gave it to him, and he came and got me. We had a really nice talk on the way home. {SMILE}
I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in at about the right time. Seh drowsed a bit during the reading, but did crack open her eyes for pictures. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read two cards, one from each sister, and a letter from a friend. Then I finished sharing pictures in _Picture Book of Happy Babies_. After that, I read a story in _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_. I finished with November 22nd's story, "The Burglary," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
My exercise was my physical therapy, and they worked me quite bit on Friday. {Smile}
After lunch with Mom, I hopped into Vindictus, and tried a mission on my moderately low-level character. Unfortunately, she got stuck. I tried to get her unstuck but had to forfeit when it got close to time to leave for my hearing aid appointment. After I got back from getting my hearing aids fixed, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Pierogies and Kitten, and we did a few missions before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I struggled to concentrate on writing up Thursday's daily update. I did write some, then hopped back into Vindictus, hoping I could get the mission this time. nope. I was still stuck. So, I played some Cross Stitch World to feel like I could play something right. Next, I wrote more of Thursday's update, pausing for notes and writing in this before I finished Thursday's update. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. after that, and talked with Jenny's Player, Ulty, and Divi. Then I did some paperwork and played by myself a bit on a moderately low-level character. I also caught up with Nox on the chat server. Then we talked about how I might find a solution to my problem on Vindictus. I looked in Vindictus's Wiki and found some promising information. So, I hopped back into Vindictus to try tried againNo, I was still stuck. left to check the wiki again (no I can't check the wiki while int he game) and tried yet again. I was still stuck, and very frustrated. I did some other stuff in Vindictus, and came out to make more notes in this. Once I was out, I also talked with Kitten on chat server. I was very disappointed to see that Vindictus kept me from teaming up with Kitten when they came back on late in the evening. That would have been SO much less frustrating than being stuck in Vindictus. {small smile}
