Daily Update, July 23, 2024

    Tuesday, I picked out a book on friendship, picked with the counselor's advice in mind, if not followed precisely. I'd asked for resources on both romantic relationships and friendship. The counselor was pushing workbooks, because they make you do stuff beyond just thinking. What I found was a regular book that has a companion workbook. So far, I like it, judging from the introduction, first two-and-a-partial chapters, thanks to online samples plus an eBook copy I borrowed through the public library online. 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I went in, but s lowly roused, then more quickly when we got to the baby pictures and stayed more awake after them. She does like baby pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it, starting with yesterday's entry, then reading today's entry. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then I continued _Picture Book of Happy Babies_, showing her each picture, reading a short caption, and saying a bit about the baby. Next, I read four stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 22nd of July's story, "Lost and Found" and the 23rd of July's story, "The Silly Hen" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to mom and dinner. then I did my standing arm weight training exercises and my arm swinging exercises after dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup after teaming and solo play on City of Heroes: Homecoming in the evening. I followed that with my head exercises. After a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. After another break, I did 8 of my walking exercises. I think that's doing pretty good, since the walking exercises are the second most strenuous, with only the salsa dancing being more strenuous. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles and played Cross stitch world before I started browsing on Amazon for a book, which continued over lunch. After lunch I wrote up Monday's daily update. Then I checked out the book's samples at Amazon and the public library's eBook website. That ended with me checking the eBook out from the library's website. Next, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming. Pierogies and I found each other, and we teamed up. We did a few moderately low-level missions before we parted, him for me, and me to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and my exercises, I begin writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dennis, and we teamed up. We did a mix of my missions and his missions most of the evening. I also tried to chat with Nox on the chat world, but we mainly said goodnight. Then I did paperwork and solo hunting after Dennis left, Next came salsa dancing and exercises, and I watched videos during my breaks, both between the salsa dancing sets, and between the second set and my walking exercises. After that, I did some quick City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork. I also made notes in this and wrote a little more of it. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 22, 2024

    On Monday, Auntie Barbara called. The thing with the church's supper day camp was done for her, though the kids were staying much later. So, she wanted to come up to the house in a few minutes. I told the nurse and got myself ready. {Smile}

   She came to visit soon, coming inside to visit with Mom. we sang several songs with her, including one of two that I've found she still remembers. Afterwards, Auntie Barbara mentioned sitting outside, but I mentioned going with them to Safeway, which is on the way out of town back to the part of island they live. Auntie Barbara decided we should do that instead. {Smile}

   So, we got into the car, as did Michelle, who was waiting outside as usual when she's with Auntie Barbara. The three of us drove down the hill, Michelle doing the actual driving. We were talking the whole way. I even mentioned near the end how happy I was to finally get a good talk with Michelle. Between her only recently coming back to church, and her tendency to stay outside when we are inside, and by the lemon trees when we're in the carport, it's been a while since we've actually talked.  

   Auntie Barbara came into Safeway to do her own shopping, but we spl9it up pretty quickly inside. I picked up some vegetables and a couple of prescriptions that would get old before the nurse got back.  When I was done, I contacted Uber, and a new driver came and took me home. I think we chatted pretty much the whole way home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and tried to read to her beforehand. however, she was sleeping, and not easy to wake. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I tried to read her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Not far in, Mom woke up to cough out some phlegm. It was good in that the nurse was trying to get it up, and it did come up, but it stopped the reading. I'll have to try again tomorrow. {smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my leg exercises after dinner. Then I did my head exercises and started my sitting arm weight training exercises when the roleplaying slowed down. I finished the sitting arm weight training exercises after the roleplaying broke up, going more steadily. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup. After a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for a little over 20 minutes. I did my standing arm weight training after a short break. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles until Auntie Barbara came. After I came back from Safeway, I browsed on Amazon. I also had lunch. Later, I played Cross Stitch World and read comics. then I wrote up Sunday's daily update before I cleaned myself up. Afterwards, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I teamed up with Pierogies. We got on moderately low-level characters - not the really little ones we'd been on the past couple of days - and did two moderately low missions of his, a typical length one, and a long one. Dennis came in just in time to say goodnight to Pierogies. Dennis and I did a quick hunt before we said goodnight, and left to attempt to read to Mom, but that didn't work out that day. {smile}

   After dinner, I did some exercises and started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Ulty and Jenny's player, and joined them in light role-play, visiting them two of their characters and some of their friends. I also talked with Nox on the chat server for a while. The role-playing lasted until exercise time. So, I exercised and danced salsa next. Then I watched videos before doing more salsa dancing. After that, I read comics and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming for a fast hunt and some quick paperwork. Then I wrote a little more of this and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 21, 2024

    On Sunday, after Breakfast, I called Uber. A fellow came and got me, and we chatted most of the way to church. I got to church during the announcements right before the service. It was a nice service. Afterwards, I had lunch with Auntie Barbara, Michelle, and others. Then I went home with Auntie Barbara and Michelle. Auntie Barbara had wanted to send me home with another gal, but the other gal was busy. Auntie Barbara didn't come in to visit because she had another passenger to take care of, too. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was alert when I went in, and stayed that way through all the reading again, not just the baby pictures, though she was particularly focused on them. She does like baby pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I started _Picture Book of Happy Babies_, showing her each picture, reading a short caption, and saying a bit about the baby. Then I read six poems and one story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 21st of July's story, "Off to Town!" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my head exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me to church. then I did four of my twelve arm swinging exercises between reading to mom and dinner. I did my other eight arm swinging exercises after dinner.  Then I did my standing arm weight training exercises after beginning to write this up and make notes here. After playing for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. I tried a new piece which gave me barely over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. It was so fast that I couldn't do my trickiest moves. I'm sure I got in at least as many steps as some of the longer but slower pieces. I was breathing heavily for a moment after that one stopped. Then after a break, I did my sitting arm weight training exercises before it was quite too late for more. {SMILE}

   After I got home, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. Then I read a few comics, too. After that, I finished writing up Saturday's daily update. then I cleaned myself up. I got into City of heroes: Homecoming particularly late again. I started with some very quick paperwork. Then I found Kitten, and we tried to team up, but they were so hungry, then left to find food. I played by myself while waiting for them to come back, but before they did, I realized it was time to read to Mom, and quit. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised. Then I started writing this up. Then I did more exercise. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. We teamed up on our low-level characters - well, his low level, and one of my low-levels - and ran mostly my missions until he left for bed. Then I picked up more missions and hunted by myself. I also chatted briefly with Nox on the chat world before saying goodnight. I also browse some comics, and browsed a bit on Amazon, too. Then I started salsa dancing. Next, I wrote more of this, and made more notes. Then I browsed some on Amazon and did some City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork. Next came more salsa dancing. Then more taking notes and writing in this. After that, I did a little more exercise, and a little shopping on Amazon. I watched one video as I was shutting down amidst more taking notes and writing in this. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 20, 2024

    Saturday, I spent the morning and early afternoon looking into a game I ended up deciding again not to try just yet. {smile}

   I have also started trying to tighten a strap on my binder/corset. Yesterday, the relief nurse taught me to tighten it gradually, as her mother does with her back brace. Yesterday, that worked pretty well. Today, I started cramping before reading to Mom. After dinner, I eased it back to untightened, and left it there. The cramp has eased since but took time even then. I think I'll try tightening it only a little, and if it's good for a few days, a little more, still easing it tighter during the day.  I figure it's worth a try. {smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was fairly alert when I went in, and stayed that way through all the reading, not just the baby pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I finished _The 40 Cutest Babies in the World_, showing her each picture, and saying a bit about it. After that, I read six poems and one longer story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 20th of July's poem, "A Holiday Week," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did three of my seven leg exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my other four leg exercises after dinner. While tapering off with City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did my head exercises. later, I did my arm resistance exercises, followed by my salsa dancing warmup, and then my arm swinging exercises. After a moderate break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for almost 21 minutes of salsa dancing. 

   A while after lunch, I made myself stop looking at that game, and write my daily update. Then I cleaned myself up. I caught up on some comics I'd neglected this week and checked the chat server before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Pierogies and teamed up with him and Kitten. We ran a few very low-level missions for Pierogies and my little characters. We went right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and my exercise, I read more comics, including more ones I'd neglected this week. Then I began writing this up and making notes. then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Pierogies, and we started to do more very low-level missions with our little characters. Dennis joined us. Then Direct X joined us. I also started chatting with Nox on the chat server. After a few more missions (they're short to very short at low enough levels), Pierogies left for bed. Next, Dennis left for bed. After another mission or two, I asked Direct X if he'd like higher level missions, since he was only moderately low-level. He said yes, so I changed to a moderately low-level character, and we did a couple more missions. (We were enough higher level that the missions were longer.) Then he left to wind down before bed, and I started my exercises, with solo hunting and catching up on comics in breaks. After the last of the salsa dancing, I worked on writing more of this and making notes. I also went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming for paperwork. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 19, 2024

    Friday was a day of phone calls. {Smile}

   First, I called the surgeon's nurse again. She was quick to tell me that my insurance wants an ultrasound to prove that a CT scan is warranted. I should expect a call scheduling it soon. Then I asked again about if I could become a candidate for the surgery. She explained that this doctor doesn't want to do it because of my medical history. The nurse was concerned about my diabetes, but when I saw him, the doctor seemed more concerned about my ischemic heart disease. Then the nurse said we could check if we can find a surgeon in Honolulu who was willing to do the operation on me. The nurse didn't say this, but I think it might be worth checking on the mainland for a place which specializes in this... but we'll see. If it's common enough in Honolulu, then that's fine. {Smile}

   Before lunch I also got three phone calls from the secretary of nursing company touching bases with me. {Smile}

   After dinner I had a nice text-based conversation with our former nurse after dinner. Then he called me when I didn't call him because of I misunderstood that he was saying to call. We had a nice, long talk. {Smile}

   Next, Auntie Barbara called, and we had a nice talk. later, she called again, but just explained it was an accident when she was trying to do something else, so that was short. 

   I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting when I went in, but aroused, especially when we got to the baby pictures. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I continued _the 40 Cutest Babies in the World_, showing her each picture, and saying a bit about it. Then I read three stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 19th of July's poem, "the Nightingale," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warm-up and less structured sets after playing City of Heroes for much of the evening. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. then I had my phone call with the nurse, and my phone calls with the secretary. After lunch. I played more Cross Stitch World and wrote up Thursday's daily update. Then I cleaned myself up. next, I had a text conversation with Nox on chat world. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I teamed up with Pierogies and Dennis for a couple of missions until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. there, I chatted with Jenny's player. I also began writing this up. Then Pierogies, Dennis and I teamed up to do missions together. Dennis left for bed after a couple of missions. Pierogies did one more mission before also leaving for bed. Then I did paperwork followed by Cross Stitch World. Next came salsa dancing, videos, and more salsa dancing. Then more videos and making notes in this with a little proper writing. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 18, 2024

    On Thursday, I started counselling as I was eating breakfast. The session was so full of recent developments and current concerns, we ran over, and had to finish scheduling the next appointment by test. It's next week, since enough is in flux, I'm not confident about waiting a week. {smile}

   Not long after counselling, phone call with surgery nurse. My insurance denied our request for funding for a CT scan. The surgeon is trying to get them to okay it. I also repeated my question about if and how I could become eligible for the operation. The nurse promised to ask the doctor. She did not call back. {smile}

   Our housekeeper came after lunch. Our house is much better for her attentions, especially since she did an extra job cleaning the window screens. {Smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was asleep when I went in and groggy most of the reading, but she did wake up more for the baby pictures. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I started _the 40 Cutest Babies in the World_, showing her each picture, and saying a bit about it. After that, I read two stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 18th of July's poem, "My Boat and I," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm swinging exercises, my arm resistance exercises and my leg exercises after dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup after playing and visiting for most of the evening. I did my second salsa dancing set after cleaning myself up. {Smile}

   My morning was mostly full of counselling and the phone call. I did do some online browsing for workbooks on relationships and friendships after counselling, since she suggested looking into them. After lunch, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. I eventually got around to writing up Wednesday's daily update. By then it was so late, I just hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies and Dennis in a farm and joined them. We soon decided to do something else. They told me to pick something, so I picked one of my missions that I particularly wanted to do. Afterwards, I did another mission from a different contact. Then it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercise, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Jenny's player. whose roleplaying was winding down. She and a friend of hers joined me for a mission. After it, they left, tired. So, I did some paperwork, and some hunts by myself. Then I talked with Nox on the chat server. After that came salsa dancing. Next, I cleaned myself up. then I did more salsa dancing. After that, I watched a few short videos. I also wrote a little of this and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 17, 2024

    Late Wednesday afternoon, I got a web-phone call from Pierogies warning me he'd lost internet to a big storm, and asking me to pass it on to Kitten, and maybe Dennis, too. I remembered much later to tell Kitten, but I did tell them when I remembered. {Smile}

   I walked out to get the mail and found - as Amazon promised - a second corset of the type that my doctor recommended. Unfortunately, neither included washing instructions, so we just have to hope it likes whatever the nurse does to it. 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in and stayed awake and interested in all the pictures, especially the baby pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I finished _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with giving a partial description of each baby. Then I read a story and two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 17th of July's story, "the Brave Crab," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   Between reading to Mom and dinner, I walked out to the mailbox and back. Then after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did my arm swinging exercises followed by my salsa dancing warmup. After a not-too long break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for not quite 21 minutes of salsa dancing. After a short break, I did my walking exercises, all 14 with just a tiny break between the first eight and the last six. It left me tired, so I hope it compensated for the lack of other exercises. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles until I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. After lunch, I read more articles, and also read comics and played Cross Stitch World. Then I did online shopping, finding something I've been searching for for days. Then I cleaned myself up before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I started on paperwork, then joined Jenny's player in a story arc she was doing with friends. Dennis joined us near the end. Then the team broke up. Dennis and I squeezed in another mission before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner I played Cross Stitch World and read articles before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Jenny, then started a new, complex kind of paperwork. Then I chatted with Direct X. After that, I played by myself, first hunting, then doing a series of talk-missions. Then I did more paperwork. Next came salsa dancing. Then I wrote in this and watched videos before more salsa dancing. Then more videos before my other exercise. After that, I made notes in this and chatted with Kitten on chat server. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 16, 2024

    Right after breakfast my ride came and took me down to the monthly meeting. that went well, and so did the lunch that was the later part of the meeting. For we adjourned after lunch, since some folks were ready to go home. The same ride took me home. As we were getting home, I checked about other rides. They're doable, but I would have to call ahead and see if the driver is available. If they aren't, then I have to find another way. {Smile}

   After I got home, I called the surgeon's nurse. I know I'm not eligible for the operation, but could I become eligible? Under what circumstances? She said the surgeon isn't available until Thursday. She will ask then and get back to me. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in and stayed awake and interested in all the pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I continued _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with giving a partial description of each baby. After that, I read a longish story which was actually the beginning of _Alice in Wonderland_ from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 16th of July's story, "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I walked out to the mailbox and back this afternoon. Then, after dinner, I did my arm resistance exercises and my leg exercises. Then I did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing late in the evening, in two sets. {Smile}

   After getting home after the meeting and the phone call, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Next, I wrote up Monday's daily update. After that, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Pierogies, who was in the later long, large-group event. Afterwards, we teamed up on villains and did a mission which Dennis soon joined. We split up after that, and I went to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner I did some exercise and began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started on paperwork. I spotted some folks going after a giant monster and joined them. then some of us took on a second giant monster. After that, they broke up, so I started on paperwork. Then Dennis came in. We chatted briefly, then joined up to do four missions, two of his, one of mine, then one of his which was really close to the one of mine we did. Then I did some paperwork. Next, Pierogies came in and suggested we farm together. I did that, along with chatting, exercises, checking out videos I wanted to show him, and finishing out with a little writing and more notes in this daily update. {Smile}

Daily Update, June 15, 2024

    On Tuesday, I phoned the leader of the monthly meeting I go to and confirmed we're meeting the next day. Then I phoned the driver who takes me and arranged a pickup time for my ride to the next meeting. {Smile}

   Then I phoned the surgeon's nurse and found out where they are in the process of arranging for a CT scan. That is moving very slowly, but it's not quite stuck. My insurance asked my doctor for more information rather than approving it immediately. My doctor is still preparing that extra information. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I went in, and often kind of drowsed while reading, but mostly opened her eyes to enjoy the pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read from her cousin and me. Next, I started _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with a partial description of the baby. Next, I read three poems, two fairly long, and one even longer, from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with the 15th of July's story, "The Lost Appetite," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my standing arm weight training exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and four of my arm-swinging exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my other eight arm swinging exercises after dinner. After playing on CoH most of the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break I did another set, with two pieces for over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. 

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles until lunch. After lunch, I played more Cross Stitch World and wrote up Sunday's daily update. Then I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. We talked, then teamed up and started a mission. Dennis joined us, and we finished the mission. Then we did another mission, running right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised. Then I started writing this up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I started some paperwork. Then Dennis came in, and we teamed up. We did a mission or two of mine. Then Kitten said hi and joined us right near the end of a mission. Dennis asked to do one of his missions. We did, and Kitten really made a difference. I also talked with Nox on the chat world. Kitten, Dennis, and I did another mission of Dennis's. Then Dennis left. Kitten and I did a mission of mine, then got ready to do another when Kitten stopped responding. Then Kitten timed out, so I did paperwork. Then I did some salsa dancing. I watched a couple of videos as a break, then did some more salsa dancing. Then I wrote a little of this. Next, I played Cross Stitch World, and read web fiction. I finished the evening by making notes in this. {Smile}

Daily update, July 14, 2024

    After Breakfast, I contacted Uber, and they took me to church. I got there before the announcements, which was earlier than Auntie Barbara and Michelle got there. Yes, Michelle was there again. Her Sunday job stopped, so she is free to drive for Auntie Barbara on Sundays again. That means coming to church, among other things. {Smile}

   We had a big lunch on the lanai afterwards. I sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle and enjoyed talking with both. However, Auntie Barbara arranged for me to go home with Home Communion, since it was Mom's week with them, and she wanted to stop at Island Naturals, then go straight home. I really didn't need to shop there, since I'm trying to get away from the higher-energy snacks I've been picking up when we stop there. So, I went home with home communion. We were their first stop because it was hot, and the gal who was driving didn't want me sitting in a hot car waiting while they saw someone else. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting when I went in, and often kind of drowsed while reading, but opened her eyes to enjoy the pictures, especially the pictures of children. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read Christmas cards from her niece and a friend, and a birthday card from church. After that, I discovered I hadn't quite finished _The Picture Book of Kids and Animals_, so I finished it, redoing enough pages to get a decent session. Next, I read seven short poems and a story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 14th of July's story, "the Happy Gnomes," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises after dinner. Then I did my head exercises a while after I mostly finished playing City of Heroes: Homecoming for the evening. I swiftly followed that with my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I did my less structured set - yes, two pieces back-to-back. It was slightly over 20 1/4 minutes, but I'm particularly proud I did it without a break between the last two pieces. That does require more stamina.  

   After church, I played Cross Stitch World, but I kept dosing off. Eventually I tried eating some protein, which seemed to help. Maybe too much sugar and not enough protein at lunch. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update. After that, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and worked on some paperwork. then Dennis came in and said hi, and we teamed up for a mission and a hunt, taking us right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised, and started writing my daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I teamed up with Dennis for a few missions. After he left, I did paperwork, then played Cross stitch World until I started my exercise and salsa dancing. After the first round, I wrote a little more of this up, watched a video, and played Cross Stitch World. Then I did more salsa dancing. After that, I wrote a little more of this up, played some more Cross Stitch World, and made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
