Daily Update, January 19, 2025

On Sunday, my relief nurse took me to church. I sat with my cousin Nancy and her husband Brent. I thought it was a nice service. {Smile}

Nancy and Brent liked the look of lunch afterwards. So, we ate lunch with Auntie Barbara, taking up one end of one of the tables. Auntie Barbara suggested trying for a family lunch on Tuesday, and Nancy and Brent agreed, so that's our plan. We're hoping Kim and Aunt Valerie can come, too, though they are opposite sides of my family. {Smile}

Kim did text me to tell me later that they've arrived. We are continuing to text about making plans to see each other while they are here. {Smile}

I did my head exercises in the middle of writing up Saturday's daily update, then I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises between writing Saturday's Daily update and making notes and writing in this. I've also been doing pelvic floor exercises once in a while throughout the day. {Smile}

After my main nurse brought me home, I talked with my main nurse on and off through the afternoon. I also played Cross Stitch World before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming and starting with paperwork. Then I talked with Pierogies and Kitten. Kitten tried to show us a base one of their friends had built, but we couldn't get in. So Pierogies and I left Kitten to base exploring, and caught the later short, large-group event. Just after that ended, I got a call from my cousin Carol. We had a long talk. After the phone call, I joined the later long, large-group event when they'd done the early exciting stuff already. My main nurse called me to dinner before they were done. I said goodbye and was careful to leave properly. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, and broke to talk with my main nurse. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Ulty and Jenny's player. I also did more paperwork and started playing by myself. Then I talked with Ulty some more, checking with her before I made a new character, and started running it through the tutorial. Yes, I usually do it when I make a new character, even though it's not required. Part way through, Kitten said hi. I stopped and got a moderately low-level character I wanted to see progress. We teamed up and started doing missions. Dragons joined us and we kept doing missions. Then Dennis joined us right as one contact's story ended. I started a new mission from a different contact, Then Dragons got invited to a higher-level team. Dennis wanted to finish my mission first, so we did, Then I said goodnight, and they all joined the new team. I wrote up Saturday's daily update. I did my head exercises during a brief break in that writing. After the writing, I did more exercise. Then I wrote and made motes in this update, with brief break to play Cross Stitch World. {Smile}

Daily Update, January 18, 2025

On Saturday. I had a quiet day. I cleaned myself up with the nurse's help. {Smile}

Then I texted couple of cousins. One was already in town. We made plans to meet the next day at my church and have lunch together afterwards. The other is coming the next day with her mother, arriving in the evening, and probably going pretty straight to bed. {Smile}

Since I had physical therapy the day before, and didn't go out, my only exercise was some pelvic floor and tummy tucking. Those don't get days off like my other exercises. {Smile}

After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World right through the morning and into lunch while thinking about the coming week. After lunch, I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork and chatted with Ulty before I broke to clean myself up. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did more paperwork and chatted with Dennis. I joined him and his friend. Kitten joined us, too. We did a couple of their missions until I got called to dinner just as Cat went quiet and faded out. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and talked with my main nurse. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming where I did more paperwork. Then I played by myself on the little character I played on the most the day before. Nox left before we could talk much, but we talked a little on the chat server earlier in the day.  I talked to Radio a bit on the chat world, too. I did slip in finishing Saturday's daily update later. Back on City of Heroes: Homecoming, Kitten joined me for a few missions. We completed through the last mission needed before that character goes up a few levels. Then I quickly made notes in this daily update without trying to write any of it, because it was almost bedtime. {Smile}
