I haven't written about Monday when I learned Mom had died on Tuesday... let me write up and share Monday first, as much of a "blast from the past" as it now feels. {smile}
On Monday, before breakfast, I checked with our nurse about some prescriptions I needed. He said that he would get them, but it would be later that day. I found them and partly caught up right after dinner. {smile}
After breakfast, I called my church and straightened out one name on two of the poinsettias I ordered the day before. I am so embarrassed I didn't get it right the first time. {rueful look}
Midafternoon, the nursing company's secretary called to get me to write the check for the month before she came. I did and paid them for the month when she stopped by a short while later.
Also, Div came back to Vindictus on Monday, and Dennis came back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. They both report a nice holiday weekend with their families. {smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in almost on time. She was a little subdued, but looked at most, and possibly all of the pictures I showed her. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Next, I finished showing her pictures in _the 40 Cutest Babies in the World_, backing up a little to give her more pictures to look at. After that, I read from _365 Bible Stories and Prayers_, reading "Job and His Troubles" and "The Tower of Babel." I finished my reading with December 2nd's story, "Journeys," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. I did my salsa dancing warmup after playing in City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening. After a break, I did my less structured set for somewhat over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. {Smile}
I played Cross stitch world and read webcomics when I wasn't on the phone in the morning. At lunchtime, I hopped into Vindictus, and played with the mercs. Then I started playing by myself until I realized Div had said hi. He was back from his weekend! We teamed up and did a few missions together, with me on my mid-level character. Then he left. I ran one or two missions on my low-level character after that. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does on a team with Div. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started on paperwork. Next, I said hi to Ulty and Jenny's player. Not long after, Dennis and Kitten said hi. We teamed up for a few missions before I left to read to Mom. {smile}
After dinner, I began writing up Sunday's daily update and taking notes and writing in this update. I also took a break for Cross Stitch World before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, who was just leaving for a meal. Then I saw Dark was on. I said hi, and we teamed up on low-level villains. We ran missions. Then Dr. Faustus came back and joined us on enough higher a villain, I told him he was the babysitter. I think I also talked with Nox on the chat server. We did several more missions before Dark left. Then Dr. Faustus and I did three more missions. I discovered I hadn't gotten credit for something, and we did one more to at least advance me a little. Then I start my salsa dancing. I began more notes in this, watched a short video or two, and peeked at comics before doing more salsa dancing. After that, I watched a longer video I didn't meant to finish, but didn't want to stop, either. Then I finished my notes in this. {Smile}
