Daily Update, December 22, 2024

On Sunday, my nurse took me to church. We arrived particularly late - not long before the gospel. That's my fault. I'd added some texts to cousins to the morning routine, which slowed everything down. However, the service was nice. I sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle, with my nurse right behind us. He's chosen not to sit in the same pew. {smile}

After the service, I had lunch on the lanai with my nurse, Auntie Barbara, and a few others. After lunch, my nurse wanted to go to Walmart. They had a few different styles of water coolers. We got the cheapest; a top loader that chills the water nicely on the cold side. My nurse hasn't gotten the warm side to work yet, but I'm sure he will sooner or later. Then we'll try that, too. After getting the cooler, we went home. {Smile}

For exercise, I walked around Walmart a fair bit after church, getting that cooler. Then, after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening, I did my head exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my arm resistance exercises one right after another. After a long break, I did my two standing arm weight training exercises. After a much shorter break, I did my sitting arm weight training exercises. {Smile}

After we got home, I hopped into Vindictus I first talked with the mercenaries, first on my high-level character, then on my middle-level character. Then I did some battles on my middle-level character. After that, I talked with mercenaries then did mission on my low-level character. After that, I stopped playing to clean myself up with help from my nurse. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Kitten and Pierogies were in the later long, large-group event, but Dennis was hunting presents and talking about being back after Christmas. So, I grabbed the last chance before Christmas to team with him. We just hunted presents, but we enjoyed spending time together. That is, until he saw a taskforce he wanted to join. It was entirely too close to my dinner for me to join, too. He joined it at my urging, with my blessing. Then I did a little paperwork before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Saturday's daily update, with breaks for Cross Stitch World. Then I decided with the nurse to watch a movie if teaming with friends was slow or something later. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Kitten. We teamed up and did the last mission of a story arc one of my high-level characters had. Then an acquaintance said hi, and joined us for the first few missions of the next story arc. After that, the acquaintance left. Meanwhile, I chatted with Nox a bit on the chat server. In the game, Kitten and I kept going with more missions in that story arc. Dr. Faustus said hi, and joined Kitten and me for the last few missions in that same story arc Yes, I finished that story arc in one evening, and no, it's not a short one. Then we broke up. I started doing paperwork, with a break for exercise before more paperwork. Next, I began writing and making notes in this, with a couple of breaks for more exercise. After I'd done what exercise I meant to, I continued making notes and writing in this, with breaks to check Vindictus and Amazon. {Smile}
