Daily Update, May 22, 2024

    On Wednesday, I had my last physical therapy before summer, when the place is taking time off. This time I wasn't late, just late getting ready. I skipped some steps, but I called Uber, and a somewhat chatty fellow came and took me over so that I arrived about on time. I had a good physical therapy session. Since it was the day I "graduated," they had some tests, which I did at least aa little better on. My therapist helped me plan for the summer, which was nice. Afterwards, I contacted Uber, and Alan came and took me home. We had a great talk all the way, as usual. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I got there, but responded when I spoke to her, and stayed awake through the reading, looking the pictures, and sometimes responding. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read three cards: Christmas cards from her cousin's granddaughter and her nephew, and a birthday cards from me. Then I read the first few pages from _Picture Book Babies_. There was a baby in an astronaut suit, but most just wore regular baby outfits. After that, I read "Adventures in Puppy Sitting," continuing _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. She said she didn't like that as well, but we were almost done at that point. So, I just finished it and went on to the 22nd of May's "The Garden Fairy," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   No exercise beyond physical therapy was needed. They made sure I got a workout today. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross stitch World and read articles until I suddenly realized I needed to leave for physical therapy. After physical therapy, I read comics over lunch. Then I finished Tuesday's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies on a little villain, so I got one, too, and we teamed until it was almost time to read to Mom. I had a short conversation with Nox on the chat server in there somewhere, too. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Ulty, Dennis, and Shepherd. Ulty and Dennis were busy in a way I couldn't join them. I considered joining Shepherd, but he was on a little villain, and one afternoon on a little villain was enough of that for a day. So, I worked on collecting badges on my fifth best badge collector. I tried to talk to Nox on the chat server but got distracted when Dennis came back for paperwork and chatting. I did have a nice talk with Dennis, but I mainly said goodnight to Nox... at least I did so when they could respond. I got my fifth best badge collector ahead of my fourth best badge collector today, so they've switched places, but it was only by three badges. When I double-checked how much, I picked up two badges on the former fourth best badge collector, so my new fourth best badge collector is ahead by only one badge, but she's now my fourth best badge collector, and the old fourth best is now the fifth best badge collector. As I was looking for more badges, I broke to make some notes in this, and get some herbal tea. When I came back, I found some folks who Kitten had introduced me to invited me to some hero missions. I jumped at the change to finally play a good character and team at the same time. We ran a few missions... and I learned we were doing a story arc that really helps characters newer to the end game. I have one who's just getting into it, so I switched, and finished the arc, despite running a little close to bedtime. They did a single mission that really helps them, so I stayed for that, but the second single mission... it would have helped, but not as much, and it was late. So, I said goodnight, and finished up the notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 21, 2024

    On Tuesday, shortly after breakfast, the ride I'd arranged yesterday arrived It took me down to the monthly meeting - not a picnic this month - which got going shortly after I got there. After a while, the meeting moved to the kitchen, where we had a long, chatty lunch. Then it was back to the meeting room after that, for a bit more talk before we adjourned, and they took me home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I got there and stayed awake, looking the pictures, and sometimes responding. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I read four cards: an Easter card from her cousin, birthday cards from a friend and church, and a Christmas card from her sister. Next, I read the last few pages from (the other) _The Picture Book of Babies_. Only one baby in a costume, and only if you count a pumpkin bib... but that wasn't a regular bib; it was too pumpkin-like. I showed her the next book I picked, _Picture Book Babies_ right after that. Then I read "Undercover Princess," starting _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I ended with the 21st of May's "Igor's Pipe," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my walking exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set after teaming. After a break, I did the first piece of my less structured salsa dancing set, but I was unsteady enough, I had to treat the vertigo. Unfortunately, it was too late to do more afterwards. {small smile}

   After I got back, I played Cross Stitch World, then wrote up Monday's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I teamed up with Kitten. After a couple of mission, first bowlofdro, then Pierogies, and lastly Dennis joined us. bowlofdro was the first to leave, then Pierogies. the others continued doing missions until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty, bowlofdro, and Shepherd int he game, and Nox on the chat server. None were free to play for a while, so I worked on paperwork, then more active badge collecting. Eventually, Shepherd was ready to play, since he'd been busy with paperwork of his own for a fair while. We teamed up and did some stuff from one of my contacts. Then I showed him how to do some of my favorite story arcs on the character he had, since he'd just outlevelled the first two of a four part set before we started to play tonight. Then I started dancing, watching videos and playing Cross Stitch World in between. I also talked with Kitten a little on the chat server and did some paperwork on City of Heroes: Homecoming. I also wrote a little more of this and made lots of notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update May 20, 2024

    On Monday, I was late to my dentist appointment. I finished lunch, checked the time, and it was already 3 minutes after my appointment. So, I contacted Uber, and found out that they were nominally 9 minutes away. I called the dentist, more than half expecting them to make me reschedule. No, they wanted me to come down. So, I did some exercises while I waited, then a fairly chatty fellow came and took me down. {smile}

   The dental hygienist took me right away, and the dentist saw me afterwards. They did squeeze me in, but both lectured me on the importance of getting there on time. I know... which was why I was perfectly prepared to reschedule if they'd asked. My dentist did check the rest of my mouth and determined some other work that needs doing besides the two root canals. He wanted to wait on the root canals, but I wanted to just get SOMETHING out of the way, so I got an appointment to get the rest fixed a few days before the earlier endodontist appointment. and yes, if they'd pushed, I'd have waited, but they didn't. {Smile}

   I contacted Uber, and an even chattier driver took me home. I think we talked most of the way, about one thing or another. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I got there and was moderately responsive. I think she particularly liked the pictures of babies. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I read the first several pages from (the other) _The Picture Book of Babies_. Again, i noticed several pictures of babies in costumes before we got to them in regular baby outfits. None of our other baby books have many babies in costumes. Next, I read "Thumbelina," finishing _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with the 20th of May's "The Naughty Twins" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and my arm swinging exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me to the dentist. then I did my arm resistance exercises after dinner. After teaming, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Then, after another break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for almost 20 minutes of salsa dancing. After yet another break, I did my leg exercises. 

   After breakfast, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Sunday's daily update over lunch. After the dentist, I cleaned myself up before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, and we talked, but they were too tired to play. So, I hunted for badges on my fifth best badge collector until it was time to read to Mom. She's gaining on the fourth best badge collector, though she's still got a way before she takes that place. For some reason, I'd like her to be in the top three. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercises, I started to write this up. Then I read some comics before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I found Kitten, and this time we teamed up. We ran several of my missions. I also chatted with Nox on the chat world a fair while, though the missions went even later than the chatting. Eventually I stopped for salsa dancing and exercises, with some Cross Stitch World and more videos in the breaks. After that, I wrote this up, making notes to write from the next day, too. I also squeezed in some City of Heroes paperwork, and a brief chat with Pierogies. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 19, 2024

    On Sunday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A nice, chatty driver came and took me to church. They had a guest speaker - a graduating high school senior who attends the early service regularly spoke after our priest spoke a little on Pentecost, since it was Pentecost. {Smile}

I had lunch after church with Auntie Barbara and our retired organist. Then Auntie Brbara took me home. She came inside to visit with Mom, and we sang several songs, a few of them twice. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I got there, but did rest when I was reading, and didn't respond as much as sometimes. She did seem to like the pictures of babies. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I read the first several pages from (the other) _The Picture Book of Babies_. I mentioned picture montages, which it does have two or three of, but what I really noticed was the first part at least has lots of babies in costumes. None of our other baby books have as many babies in costumes. After that, I read "Rapunzel," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I finished with the 19th of May's "Frisky's Friend" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my standing arm weight training exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and one of my sitting arm weight training exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. After the taskforce and some solo badge hunting, I did my arm swinging exercises. Then I did my less structured set of salsa dancing. {Smile}

   After Auntie Barbara left, I played Cross Stitch World, and watched most of a video before I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I talked to Perogies. We didn't team up because he was too tired. I soloed instead, then did paperwork until it was time to read to Mom. A while afterwards, I started writing this up after exercises between reading and dinner. {Smile}

   After dinner, I finished watching the video I mostly watched earlier. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with bowlofdro and Ulty. bowlofdro was starting to look for something for both of us to get into when Dr. Faustus invited us to a taskforce that he'd just joined We joined, and found Crash on the team too, and an acquaintance of mine leading it. We ran the taskforce. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server until they left. After the taskforce, I did my exercises, played Cross Stitch World, and read some comics. I also told Kitten some things about the video... it's really been making me think. I also finished writing parts of this and making notes to write the rest from the next day. {Smile}

Sunday, May 19, 2024

Daily Update, May 18, 2024

    Saturday, I stayed home and took it easy. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was awake when I got there and responded occasionally. She looked at the pictures, especially the ones of babies. I began my reading with the 18th of May's entry for scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Next, I read the last several pages from _The Picture Book of Babies_. Then I read "The Emperor's New Clothes," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I finished with the 18th of May's "The Little Prince's Animals" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. I got ready to start the (other) _The Picture Book of Babies_ tomorrow. It's the larger one with at least a couple of photo montages. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my arm swinging exercises after dinner. After soloing and teaming for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I did my head exercises, followed shortly by my less structured salsa dancing set. 

   After breakfast. I read articles and played Cross Stitch World, then wrote up Friday's daily update. Then I read comics over lunch. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Not finding anyone, I did a little paperwork and some solo play before breaking to clean myself up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did a little more soloing until Pierogies said hi. We got together for a mission or two before I broke to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercises, I started writing this up and making notes in it. Then I dealt with some termites before hopping back into City of Heroes: Homecoming again. I didn't find anyone again, so I soloed until I got some badges mainly available this month. Then I changed characters, and joined a Public high-level taskforce that was trying to get enough folks. I also chatted a little with Nox before they went to bed. When I finished the taskforce, I started my salsa dancing, with paperwork and exercise in between the sets. Afterwards, I played a little more Cross Stitch World, and did a bunch of paperwork in City of Heroes. I also wrote more of this up and made more notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 17, 2024

    On Friday, our housekeeper came, and put in a full afternoon. our house is definitely better for her attentions. {Smile}

   I got a phone call with Auntie Barbara in the evening. She'd tried twice while I was taking my bath, but over the water without my hearing aids, I didn't hear it. She got me afterwards, though, and we had a nice talk. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting, but responded occasionally, and looked at the pictures. I began my reading with the 17th of May's entry for scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then, I read the next several pages from _The Picture Book of Babies_. This one is smaller, and consistently has one picture per page. (The other one with the same name is larger and includes some photo montages. After that, I read "Hansel and Gretel," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I finished with the 17th of May's "Rosemary" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my walking exercises after teaming for the evening. After a break, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Another break, and I did three of my sitting arm weight training exercises. Another break, and I did the first piece of my less structured salsa dancing set. Then a short break, and I started the second piece... and had to stop a little over half a minute in. I did get over 15 minutes of salsa dancing in... I think that's the best I've done since the abscess by my teeth were drained, especially if you add int he earlier exercises. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I finished Thursday's daily update. then I read articles and played Cross Stitch World until lunch. Afterwards, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did some paperwork. Not seeing anyone I particularly like to team up with, I soloed on a low-level character. Then, when he came on, Dr. Faustus warned me about a supergroup meeting coming shortly. I soloed a little more, then switched characters to go to the meeting. My character was too low for the taskforce they wanted to do, so I switched to a higher-level character. We ran the taskforce, and my character gained a level I wanted for her. Afterwards, I said hi to Pierogies. We teamed up for a quick mission before reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this daily update. Then I read some comics, and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did some paperwork. I didn't see anyone I particularly like to team up with, though, so I broke to clean myself up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: homecoming, where I saw Dennis, and said hi. We teamed up for two or three missions, finishing a story arc of his. Then I did my exercises and salsa dancing, with articles, videos and Cross Stitch World in between and a little afterwards. Afterwards, I mainly wrote some of this daily update and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Friday, May 17, 2024

Daily Update, May 16, 2024

    Thursday, I had video counselling in the morning. Somehow getting breakfast ran so late, I ate while we started. It went pretty well, I thought. We covered the recent tooth trouble, and other stuff which has been on my mind recently. {Smile}

I also had a phone call with my financial adviser after lunch. It was good to confirm where i am with the anticipated root canals. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom again and read to her before that. She was resting, but responsive when I went in. She did say she was enjoying this at first. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. I just read the 16th of May's entry first, since I'm caught up with this. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Next, I read the first several pages from _The Picture Book of Babies_. This one is smaller, and consistently has one picture per page. Mom was interested in the babies today.  Then I read "Puss in Boots," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with _366 Stories for Bedtime_, first reading the 15th of May's "The Fawn," then ended with the 16th of May's "A Chinese Tale." Mom seemed to enjoy them all, sometimes even saying so, if a little sleepily more often than not. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises after teaming for the evening. Then I did twelve of my fourteen walking exercises, and just started the thirteenth when I felt tired enough, I had to stop. I think I miscalculated the time earlier, since it was too late to rest and do more later. Still, I did most of my walking exercises the day after physical therapy. {Smile}

   After counselling, I read articles and comics before lunch. I played Cross stitch World and wrote Wednesday's daily update after lunch. Then I cleaned myself up. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I teamed up with Pierogies and Kitten. Pierogies and I got some low-level characters we've been working on, and continued their missions with a mission, a hunt, and another mission before it got close to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this daily update. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Kitten and Shepherd, and we teamed up. Kitten was on one of their favorites, Shepherd was on a higher end of low-level character, and I was on a mid-level character.
We ran one after another of my missions, working through most of one contact, and starting another contact. I also talked on and off with Nox on the chat server until they headed to bed. After we finished teaming, I did my head exercises while talking to Dr. Faustus on the chat server. Then I did most of my walking exercises, wrote some of this, played a little Cross Stitch World, and made a lot of notes in this to write from the next day. I slipped back onto the computer to make one more note when I remembered something I'd forgotten to include. I felt it was too big and too easy to miss otherwise. {Smile}

Thursday, May 16, 2024

Daily Update, May 15, 2024

    On Wednesday, I called my dentist. their secretary explained that we will discuss options and decide about medication next Monday, at my already scheduled appointment. {smile}

   Middle of the morning, I realized it was almost time for my physical therapy, and I hadn't contacted Uber yet. I contacted them immediately, and learned they would get to my house shortly after physical therapy was to begin. So, I phoned physical therapy and got their answering machine. I left a message saying I was running late, but on my way, and would get there when I could. I did, and the receptionist wasn't there, but the therapist I had last year was there. He texted my current therapist and got me started on my first exercise while my therapist come over. I had a shorter session, but fairly intense, at least. Afterwards, I contacted Uber, and a driver came and took me home. {Smile}

When I was picking out the next little picture book to read to Mom, I noticed I was wrong about three having the same title. Two do; they are both _The Picture Book of Babies_, but the third is _Picture Book Babies_. I picked out one of _The Picture Book of Babies_ to read next. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom again and read to her before that. She was awake, but getting sleepy when I went in. She did say she was enjoying this at first. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. I read the 14th of May's entry first, then the 15th of May's entry, catching up again. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I read the last several pages from _Picture Book of Happy Babies_. I noticed Mom was getting slower about opening her eyes over time, but it wasn't too bad, so I kept going. After that, I read "Jack and the Beanstalk," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with _366 Stories for Bedtime_, reading 14th of May's "Helpful Caroline." Mom was sleepy enough by the end of that tiny story, I just stopped there. So, I didn't catch up with the last part, but I progressed. Maybe tomorrow will be better. {Smile}

   Despite the shorter session, I still exercised enough at physical therapy, I didn't feel a need to do more. {Smile}

   I played Cross Stitch World before going to physical therapy. I played more Cross Stitch World after physical therapy, along with eating lunch and writing Tuesday's daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed with Pierogies, doing a few of my missions. Kitten joined us, as did bowlofdro after a while. Then Pierogies and bowlofdro left. Kitten and I joined Dennis, who was teaming with a friend. Dennis warned that he wouldn't be on after dinner. So, we made the best of the time before dinner, teaming up for a few missions. Dennis's friend left after a while, but the rest of us ran right up to time to read with Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I wrote a little of this. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found the new fellow we first met last night,
Shepherd, and teamed up with him He was with a friend, and both were on littles, so I got one too. We ran my missions all evening. Kitten joined us part way through. I said goodnight to Nox without us talking again. Shepherd's friend left after a while, but Shepherd didn't get tired until I was ready to get ready for bed myself, which was late because I didn't need to exercise. We wound down by chatting a bit, and I did some paperwork. Then I made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}

Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Daily Update, May 14, 2024

    Tuesday, I called the dentist right after dinner. His answering machine said he wasn't in, so I left a message. 

   Then I called my financial advisor. I left a message on their answering machine, too. I also called my financial advisor's general office, so I left a message there, too. The secretary in my financial advisor's office called to say my adviser was in a meeting and would call when it got out. It must have run late since she didn't, but this does happen. {smile}

   My bath went so late, I didn't read to Mom, though I did eat dinner with her when the nurse was done cleaning her up. The nurse called it a good call under the circumstances. I guess I'll need one more catch-up day after all tomorrow. At least it will be easy to remember: two in a row, with the earlier one today. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises, arm resistance exercises, arm swinging exercises, standing arm weight training exercises, one of my sitting arm weight training exercises, my leg exercises, and the rest of my arm weight training exercises. I still missed salsa dancing and walking exercises, but at least that's all I missed today. {Smile}

   I read articles, played Cross Stitch World, and did some online shopping after breakfast and first phone calls. This went right into lunch, and a bit afterwards. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Pierogies. We ran a few of my missions and broke early I did a little online shopping. Then I cleaned myself. I took longer than I meant to. I got out to find the nurse cleaning Mom up, so I did some more online shopping and caught up on comics until the nurse called me to dinner. {Smile}

   After dinner, I read more comics, and finished writing my daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming distinctly late. I teamed up with Dennis and did a mission of his. Then bowlofdro said long time no see, and joined us, bringing a new-to-Homecoming player who'd played years ago when the game was hosted by the company that owns it. We ran a mission. Then Dr. Faustus joined us, and the group started a badge mission while I found a character who didn't have it. Then they restarted the mission so I could get credit for it too. After that, Dennis left, and Dr. Faustus gave the newcomer a tour of the exploration badges in many zones as an introduction to the place. I started my exercises during the tour. Then I said goodnight so I could concentrate on them better. After that, I played a little more Cross Stitch World, wrote a little of this and made a lot of notes to finish writing it from the next day. {Smile}

Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Daily Update, May 13, 2024

    Around breakfast time Monday, I called my dentist about the abscessed tooth. I got their answering machine, so I left a message. Then I called my doctor, and left a message on their answering machine, too, asking them to forward to report from the emergency room to my dentist. my dentist's office called back and offered an appointment at 4pm that afternoon. I happily accepted. I tried calling my doctor a couple more times, but no luck. {smile}

   Around 3:30pm, I contacted Uber. The driver was further away than usual, so I called my dentist's office to warn them I was doing my best. Uber came and took me down when the driver could. My dentist took me quickly. He found two alarmingly big holes in my teeth - bigger than usual for how recently he'd seen me. He said sugar or acid are the usual causes, but he noticed trouble at the gumline... I can't think of any negative changes in those recently, but I have been less than happy with my toothbrushes for a while now...

   Then I went to make an appointment with the endodontist. I was hoping for speed. No such luck. The best I could do was an appointment a little over a month from now for one of the teeth, and another early in July for the other tooth. They put me on the waiting list for earlier appointments and promised to call if a spot opened up. I assume that means "and doesn't get filled by patients earlier in line. However, those things tend to cascade, so I will hope it works down to me. 

   When I got home, I thought it over, then found one toothbrush not too worn that I liked, and more online. I have ordered them, and the recommended mouth wash as well. I also gave 24 less than satisfactory but unused toothbrushes to our main nurse. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom again and read to her before that. she was awake and relatively alert when I went in. She did say she was enjoying this a few times. She enjoyed the readings and the pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. I read the 13th of May's entry first, since it's today's entry. Then I found the 10th of May's entry and read it. So, I'm now caught up there. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I read the next several pages from _Picture Book of Happy Babies_. Next, I read "Sleeping Beauty," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with _366 Stories for Bedtime_, reading two poems from it. First, I read the 10th of May's "Coloured Ballons," and then the 13th of May's "Happy Birthday!" {Smile}

   I realized that with the appointments so far in the future, I can't just wait for the teeth to get better to do my exercise. That said, I didn't want to overdo it, so I started with my head exercises. Then I did my arm swinging exercises, and after a break, my arm resistance exercises. {Smile}

   I played Cross Stitch World after breakfast and the first phone calls, and around later phone calls. I also read some articles, and I read more of the web novel, reaching the end of what I could easily open. After the appointment, I did some online shopping, since it looks like I need both mouthwash and new toothbrushes. I may have also written up Sunday's daily update before and into lunch. This took me to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty, Azurette, Dr. Faustus, and Dennis. Dennis joined me, and we finished a partly done story arc of his. Then we did a few of my missions before he left, Then I soloed a couple of hunts and got distracted with more online shopping. I did what exercise I got done, played some more Cross Stitch World, and tied up things in City of Heroes: Homecoming better than I had. Then I made notes in this to write from the next day and headed to bed. {Smile}
