Daily Update, December 25, 2024

Wednesday was Christmas Day, so I hope everyone who celebrates it had a Merry Christmas! If you don't, I hope you had a nice day. {SMILE}

After breakfast, I opened present. Thanks to those who gave me something. Everything is so great this year! {SMILE}

After that, I accidentally sprung a trip on my main nurse. I'd only texted him about it the previous day, not told him otherwise until it was time to leave. I'd been invited to a gal from church's home for lunch out of town. My nurse rose to the occasion, driving out, dropping me off and going back home to work on dinner. insisting he didn't know folks... though he did, since almost everyone was from church. A few folks asked about him, and wished he'd come. Between home communion, recent Sundays, and last night, they knew him. Three dogs, two of them guests, added to the liveliness of the gathering. {Smile}

I enjoyed the party and had less trouble talking than I feared. With my hearing loss, noisy places aren't easy to understand folks in. however, these folks were well spread out, and surprisingly inclined to listen to the same conversation. So, I didn't have a problem, and did enjoy myself quite a bit. {Smile}

When they were cleaning up, I called my nurse, and waited for him to come get me. Two of the folks greeted him, including the hostess, who assured him he's invited next time. {Smile}

After playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening, i did my salsa dancing warmup, followed by my head exercises. After a break I did one less structured salsa dancing piece. I was panting hard enough after it, I figured it was a good place to stop dancing, so I got almost 15 minutes of salsa dancing. 

After I got home from the party, I browsed Amazon and played Cross Stitch World to wind down. Then I finally hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, Pierogies, and a couple of strangers in a farm led by Kitten. I joined them, playing a little and chatting, too. That took me up to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played lots of Cross Stitch World and read comics a fair bit. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten in a winter mission team that broke up before I could join. Then they joined me, with me on a low-level character I'm trying to get higher in level. We ran through the rest of the missions at their level that I really wanted to do, then started a story arc they can gain level and keep at. We did two missions, and I got a level I feel pretty accomplished for one day with that character. After that, I did some web browsing, especially shopping on Amazon. Then I danced and did my other exercises. Next, I browsed on the web some more, played Cross Stitch World, and started writing and making notes in this. Then I danced some more. Next. I watched some of a video until I gave up on it reaching the point any time soon. So, I played more Cross Stitch World and finished the rest of my writing and making notes in this. {Smile}
