Daily Update, May 10, 2023

    Today, I had physical therapy. I got started slightly later than I hoped to because of reading more articles than I meant to, but the car arrived more quickly than I expected. I had a nice chat with the driver on the way. I hope I didn't get there too late. There was only a short wait, and partly that was cancelling next Wednesday. My therapist's children's school is having their May Day program next Wednesday, so he's going to be there, not at therapy. (Hawai'i schools hold a pageant with the students performing different numbers on May Day - May first - or usually close to it. I think this is the first time I heard of one being as late as the 17th.) {Smile}
   We had a good session. I mixed the half-circle taps with the double turns. He said it was the best yet and is really hopeful for me being able to do the half-circle taps at home soon. Then I did the regular fast turn to a piece I felt was a bit fast for them. He thinks I good enough to do those at home already. {Smile}
   Then I checked on the nursing home's Activities section. The door was closed, but not locked, and I found one gal working in there. Seh remembered me, and asked how I was doing. i told her I was still living with Mom, and that I was doing outpatient physical therapy here now. Then I explained that I'd started getting picture books for dementia for Mom, and I'd gotten a duplicate. I took it out and showed her how it shows various performers and groups and lists a few of their hits. She loved it and said they'd definitely be using it in one-on-one visits. Then she put it in a cabinet with their supplies
   I took Uber home and had another nice chat with the driver. He chose to go right through the school traffic. I think he was afraid of getting lost going another way. {Smile}
   I had dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, then read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I started _1940's Fashion in pictures. Mom does enjoy the pictures of clothes She commented on more of them, and even said she liked some of them. Next, I read "Uber Workers Are Employees, and Need Holiday Pay, UK Court Decides," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 10th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom enjoyed both pictures and stories. {Smile}
   No exercise beyond my therapy. That was enough. I was panting after the salsa dance, especially the second one, where I went fast. {Smile}
   I read comics over lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after lunch. I didn't find anyone on, so I did some paperwork, then joined a moderately large group that was working on particular badges. My best badge collector has them, and my second-best badge collector is still in the thing with my RWBY friend, so I joined it on my third best badge collector and got 4 of the six badges they were trying for. Then I joined the later short, large-group event. My RWBY friend joined it too. We joined the later long, large-group event after that. That took us to time to read to Mom. {Smile}
   After dinner I read a few comics and hopped back onto City of Heroes: Homecoming. Again, I did some paperwork when I didn't see anyone on. Then Phonso came on, and invited me to a strike force, which I joined. My RWBY friend came on, and joined it, too. We chatted a little more, but mainly ran the task force together. Then my RWBY friend left for bed. Phonso ran another strike force, which I ran with him, too. Then Phonso left, and I did more paperwork, as well as looking at some more comics. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 9, 2023

    I got yesterday's daily update posted in the last set of places after breakfast, and read some comics, but then I had to get ready to go, and go out to the secretary from Helping Hands Healthcare's car, for she was waiting to take me to lunch. We chatted as we went down to IHOP, where we joined the main owner of Helpings Hands Healthcare, and her brother, who's the former nurse I keep mentioning talking on the phone with. {Smile}

   We had a very nice lunch. I had scrambled eggs, pork sausage, ham, hash browns, and a crepe with blueberries sprinkled around, and stuffed with lemon ricotta. I liked it very much. 

   We talked a lot, including more reminiscing and talking about current stuff than talking about my future with them. We did that too, and talked about Mom, as well. That is more hopeful than I feared; the owner thinks she'll still be with us for a while, though most say she doesn't have five years in her. The secretary took me home at the end, too, and the owner, her brother and I have plans to get together socially. {Smile}

   I had supper with Mom and read to her before that. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it, followed by more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I read about the 1950's in _Classic Fashion: 40's 50's Memories_, finishing that book in just two sittings. mom really seems to enjoy the pictures of clothes that were fashionable in those decades. Mom really does like the "fashion" picture books for dementia. Next, I read "Eighty-Two-Year-Old Youtuber "Skyrim Grandma" Added to Popular Online Game," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 9th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom seemed to enjoy both pictures and stories. {Smile}

   I did my walking, arm swinging, arm weight training, and over 25 minutes of salsa dancing. I even did the extra fast piece at the end, which is part of why I didn't do 30 minutes - I definitely had to catch my breath after that one. {Grin}

   I cleaned up after I got home and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after that. it was later than often, and Kitten was already unresponsive. Maybe they'd worn themselves out. They'd mentioned being busy with chores earlier, before I went out to lunch. However, I joined the later short, large group event. The late-night leader now leads that one, too. I'm glad. I miss the late-night raid in summer, because it's during my reading and dinner time. My RWBY friend came in just as we were starting slightly early due to being full, so he waited until we were done. It went particularly fast, so he didn't wait as long as sometimes. We teamed up and ran a few more missions in that story arc we've been working on. That was really fun and took us right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   I came on and found my RWBY friend had left - he'd expected to go to bed. Kitten was still unresponsive, and other friends I particularly enjoy teaming with weren't around, so I worked on paperwork, and caught up on reading comics. Then Phonso came on and invited me to do the same task force we did yesterday. I even did it on the same character, since it counts towards a badge or two this week. After that, I did paperwork the task force and earlier missions had caused and started my exercises early. I started writing this as well. I missed talking to Nox again, except for waying goodnight. Kitten finally responded as I was starting my salsa dancing. My RWBY friend came on later during the dancing, between sets. We teamed up for a mission after I was done, and then I finished writing this up. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 8, 2023

    Well, since my lunch date was moved to tomorrow, I called my parents' lawyer, and made an appointment with their notary public to get something signed and notarized. I called Uber and went down. They took me right away, even though I was a little early. (I find that with uber, being on time cannot be predicted. the choices are early or late.) Then i took Uber to island Natural, where I picked up a package of dried cranberries. I could do that at tomorrow's lunch, but I had to go to Mom's bank for some banking anyway. That was next. Then I called Uber again, and they took me home. {Smile}

   I called our financial adviser to tell her about the banking around lunchtime, but she was away from her desk. They said they'd have her call back, but I called again when I got tired of waiting, and got her that time, so she got the update. {Smile}

   I called our former nurse after dinner, and we had a short chat. Turns out he's planning to go to the lunch tomorrow, too. He is their personnel manager sometimes. {Smile}

   I tried calling Auntie Barbara, but it went straight to voice mail. After leaving a message, I sent a text, which turned into a short text conversation. She'd been hoping for a phone call all about the lunch, but that will have to be tomorrow. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, followed by more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I read about the 1940's in _Classic Fashion: 40's 50's Memories_. I'd like to concentrate on books Mom seems to particularly enjoy. She does like the picture books for dementia, especially the "fashion" ones. Next, I read "Twenty-Year-Old Wins $451-Million: Will Help Family and Humanity," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 8th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom seemed to enjoy everything. {Smile}

   I did my walking, arm swinging, two of my arm exercises, and my head exercises. I tried two others of my four other arm exercises, but my right shoulder was wincing, so I figured I should stop. {rueful smile}

   I finished posting yesterday's daily update while waiting for Uber to pick me up to go to the lawyer's notary public. Then I read comics over lunch, after getting back from the errands.  After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found kitten. I also spotted my RWBY friend, but he left without responding. Kitten and I chatted a little, then teamed up. We got two moderately low-level story arcs done on our best badge collectors that will help with a couple of badges. Then we snuck in a shorter story arc that got mine two badges that Kitten already had. {Smile}

   After dinner and the phone call and start of the text conversation, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Kitten in a task force. We didn't chat much beyond finding that out, because they were busy with it. I waited for them to get done, but then Phonso came on, and invited me to join a task force he was running. I did, and we filled before Kitten's task force was done. Kitten finished when we were a few missions into the task force. I found their character afterwards, but they disappeared like they'd fallen asleep. Then I did some paperwork, and about the time I was done, my RWBY friend came back. We chatted a bit and teamed up to continue the story arc we'd started yesterday. I said goodnight to Nox, having missed a chance to talk. My RWBY friend left to return to bed, and I worked on more paperwork. Then I did a mix of exercises, reading comics and a few internet articles, and writing this. Near the end, Kitten came on the chat server, where we talked a little. They'd fallen asleep again. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 7, 2023

    Today was Sunday, so i went to church. Unusually few were there, and we didn't have a lot of variety at lunch. But I'd brought a new package of packages of nuts, so at least there was that. {Smile}

   Our former assistant priest and his husband were there. I waved, and tried to say hi, but got sidetracked with lunch, thinking they'd stay, but they never got over to it. Next time I see them at church, I'll have to make a point of talking to them. {Smile}

   Our priest took me home and came in to give Mom holy communion. Mom was not having her best day. She didn't join in on any of the songs we sang, and she did look more tires and sallow than usual. I still hope she enjoyed the company. {Smile}

   I got a call from the secretary of the nursing company. She needed to reschedule our lunch date tomorrow. Thankfully, I'm available Tuesday, so we moved it to Tuesday. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, followed by the start of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I read about the tricks elves like to play on humans and their animals. Elves can be real tricksters. This was in Fantasy Encyclopedia by Judy Allen. Next, I read "'NASA "Human Computer" Katherine Johnson Celebrated Her 100th Birthday," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 7th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom seemed to enjoy everything. {Smile}

   I read comics after coming home and cleaning up, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. My RWBY friend came on while I was still settling in. We chatted, then teamed up, starting a story arc we hoped would help with the badge I was working on yesterday. It didn't at first, but then it did for a while; we got almost all we needed by dinner. {Smile}

   After dinner, I went back on City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found my RWBY friend, and we teamed up for another mission in the same arc as before dinner. We got the badge we'd been working on and finished the mission too. Then my RWBY friend admitted to being tired and left for bed. I did some paperwork and read comics. Then I chatted with Azurette, and, after talking with our nurse, I joined a team, and played it until it was high time that I wrote this update. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 6, 2023

    Today was physical therapy, so I called Uber, and went over to Life Care Center. The driver was pleasant and chatty. {Smile}

   I had a good session. Both the taps and the turns were the best yet: much less wobbly, and mostly in time with the music, or pretty close. My therapist wants to mix them up, so it's more interesting, as well as a little more challenging. I'm really looking forward to this. {SMILE}

   I took Uber back with another pleasant driver. {Smile}

   I had a nice phone call with Auntie Barbara. It was good to catch up with her, telling her some recent news, and hearing her recent news, as well. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that I read scripture and thoughts about it, followed by a long Christmas letter from 2018. It was from a friend of her sister. After that, I read about the Little People, especially elves and fairies, from Fantasy Encyclopedia by Judy Allen. Next, I read "'Tiger King' Bill Prevents Private Ownership of Big Cats," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 6th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures, too. She was already awake when I got there and seemed to be listening. {Smile}

   No exercise beyond physical therapy today. That was enough for one day. {Smile}

   I finished yesterday's daily update over and after lunch, then read several comics. Then I hopped into city of Heroes: Homecoming late. I checked a couple of characters, and was starting to work on a badge when my RWBY friend came in. He joined me in working on the badge for a little. Then we tried to join the later short, large-group event, but the zone was full. So, we went to work on the badge some more, then joined later long, large-group event. That took us fairly close to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped onto City of Heroes: Homecoming, but didn't find anyone on who I particularly felt like teaming with. I started to work on that badge some more and was happy to take a break when Auntie Barbara called. After that, I worked on the badge until I got bored enough, I wanted to try something else. I ran a few player-made mission to get a particular currency to buy something for some paperwork I wanted to do. It turned out to be easier to the get what I wanted than I feared. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server and read some more comics. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 5, 2023

    I stayed home today and didn't even do a lot of phoning. I thought about a little but didn't get around to it. {resigned smile}

   The housekeeper came after lunch. It's always nice to see her, and our house is definitely cleaner for her attentions. {Grin}

   I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it, followed by three Christmas cards, from Mom's nephew, cousin, and sister, all from 2019. After that, I read two introductions to Fantasy Encyclopedia by Judy Allen, the first the official introduction by Johnathan Stroud, and the second a part by the author before the first chapter that felt like another introduction as I read it. Next, I read "Minnesota Pays Homeowners to Plant Bee-Friendly Flowers," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 5th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures, too. Seh seemed asleep when I got there but woke up nicely for the readings and pictures. {Smile}

   I did my walking, head, arm swinging exercises, and arm exercises. That's everything I'm supposed to do two days after physical therapy. {Grin}

   I wrote yesterday's daily update after breakfast, and then read a few comics, reading more comics after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked paperwork quickly before find that my RWBY friend was on. We talked a bit, teaming up, then ran a story arc because I wanted a badge. We both got the badge, and enjoyed playing together, too. Then we started another story arc that had a badge I hadn't gotten yet. We then started another arc that I could get a badge for and ran a few missions before it was time to read to Mom.

   After dinner, I sent a text message to my RWBY friend, and hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. He hopped in right after me, having heard the text notification. We teamed up and finished the story arc we'd started before dinner. We both got the badge I wanted, and he got another badge as well. Then we said goodnight. I was just starting some paperwork when I noticed a task force I wanted on my third best badge collector, who's starting to work on the badge line the second-best badge collector recently finished. So, I joined that instead of doing the paperwork right then. Next, I ran an arc Kitten thought would be good for getting some badges for making it harder. It took two tries, but I did it. After that, I chatted with Nox for a while before they went to bed. After that, I did my exercises, and some paperwork on a couple of characters, and worked on this, but managed to get sidetracked looking at articles, so I finished writing this the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 4, 2023

    I tried to call my doctor yesterday, but again only got their answering machine. I may have to accept I'm not going to get through, but I'll try a while longer. {resigned smile}

   I succeeded in calling my financial adviser and told her about what I learned in the call with my aunt's friend. My financial advisor and I worked out plans this allows us to make now. So, this went very well. {Smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read two Christmas letter, one from her niece, and another from her cousin's granddaughter, both from 2019. After that, I read the last few entries about the people who lived in an earlier time from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Next, I went in search for the next book with pictures. I settle on a fantasy encyclopedia. After that I read "Store Left Open by Mistake, but Only Cherry Tomatoes Missing, and the Customer Overpays," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 4th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures, too. She seemed more tired today, though. {Smile}

   I got my head exercises all done. I slipped them in later than I prefer, but I got them done. {Smile}

   I wrote up the day before's daily update in morning. I chatted with Kitten on the chat server, and learned they had to do a lot more to get that badge we tried for the day before than I think either of us expected. After lunch, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, who told me about some other badges they'd gotten recently. I realized some were ones I didn't have, and two I didn't have were in the same story arc. Even better, it was a story arc Kitten has been wanting to do again anyway, just because they enjoy it so much. My RWBY friend came in as we were starting, so he joined us. The three of us did the arc, and I got one more badge than I expected. This took us to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I went back onto City of Heroes: Homecoming and found no one on who I particularly like to hang out with on. So, I checked for paperwork, then prepared to do one of the solo missions which led to one of the badges Kitten had gotten recently that I didn't have. Just before I got started, Phonso came in and invited me to join a trial. This was the last my second-best badger needed for a badge she's been working on for weeks, so I was happy to join. I switched to her, did the trial with him and got the badge. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server for a bit before they went to bed. Then I did two solo missions that Kitten mentioned earlier get a badge apiece. I realized the higher level one was non-combat, so I tried to get all the badges for making it harder that I didn't have at that level. They counted, and I got an extra badge for getting all and few other badges I had, too. Then Kitten finally came on, finally seeming better rested. We chatted and ran one story arc we both needed. It ran later than I meant to, so I just made notes for this update before bed. I had to write this up properly the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 3, 2023

    Yesterday morning, I responded to my Welsh friend's response to what I said the day before. It involved some research, and I got caught up in that enough, I suddenly noticed it was 10:47, and I hadn't gotten my things together or anything. I got ready as quickly as feasible, ordered Uber, and called Life Care Center and asked for outpatient physical therapy. I told them I'd be about 5-15 minutes late, but I was coming. The receptionist said she'd let my therapist know.

   I got there about the time I expected, and we started physical therapy. I had a good session. I think the salsa was the best yet. I even needed little steadying during the half circle taps, and not that much during the easier pairs of double turns. All of it was close to in time to the music, even the trickier double turns. {Smile}

   I got the same driver going back - he was surprised, but happy. He said he was going home; I think I live close to him, so that was convenient. {Smile}

   I also had a longish phone call with aunt's friend, giving us an update about my aunt's estate. The news is good but taking time to get used to. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a Christmas letter from Mom's sister's friend from 2021. After that, I read more about the people who lived in an earlier time from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Then I read "Every Porche Employee, Even Cleaning Staff, Receives a Bonus in the Best Year Ever," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 3rd story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures, too. She seemed particularly interested in the pictures today. {Smile}

   No exercise beyond physical therapy today; that left me tired enough. {Smile}

   I read comics over lunch and wrote up yesterday's daily update after that. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and got together with Kitten. We joined with my RWBY friend, and the three of us started a new story arc introduced very recently. The characters were chatty, so it was slower going than we expected. Also, I had to take time out for the phone call from my aunt's friend. My RWBY friend left when he got tired, and Kitten and I stopped when it was time to read to Mom.

   I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming after dinner. I found Kitten still waiting there, but they went quiet after one response. I did find a stranger to chat with for a while waiting for Kitten to respond. Then I waited in quiet for a while before I found Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis on. We teamed up, and did a few missions together, finishing an old arc that wasn't quite too old to get rewarded for, then doing a bit that Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis had. Kitten woke up part way through. We talked, they rested some more, and eventually they joined us for a few simple missions. Then Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis left. Kitten and I finished the story arc we'd started in the afternoon, but it didn't end like we hoped. There is supposed to be a badge, but I guess we didn't end it the right way to get that. We debated what to do next, but Kitten didn't stay responsive. I said goodnight to Nox; we'd both not gotten around to chatting before that time. Then, realizing that Kitten was unlikely to speak up, I ran a couple of shorter, solo missions. No, they couldn't be run with friends, so I've been saving them for some time when I was alone and unlikely to find friends to play with. I tried to talk more with my Welsh friend, but conversations are tricky when you live 10 or 11 time zones apart. We are conversing, but with long waits in between. I also read some comics, and began to write this update up, including notes to flesh out the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 2, 2023

    Yesterday, I took Uber to the vet to pick up Val's medicine. Then I met the driver in the parking lot. We were getting ready to leave when they brought out one more package of medicine. I have a bit over 4 weeks' supply, which is great when I have to pay Uber for a round trip to pick it up. 

   The same driver took me to Hale Anuenue, where I visited with our family friend, and one of her daughters, who was visiting her. I checked with them about the book for another daughter of our family friend's. They thought she'd love it, so after visiting with them a while, I went over to that daughter's room to visit, giving her the book. She loved getting a book that had no words in the main part to misbehave like words have been doing. That it had kitty pictures was even better. We looked at some of the pictures together before I left. Then I called Uber and got the same driver to take me home. You don't often get the same driver, especially three times in a row, though she'd made that more likely, waiting in the vet's parking lot while I got the medicine. {Smile}

    I also called financial adviser about some papers I'd gotten in the mail. I pictures of the papers to her late last night. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom, and read to her before that, too. I started with scripture and thoughts about it and then read the last bit of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then, I read more about the people who lived in an earlier time from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Next, I read "Brooklyn Landlord Cancels Rent for Hundreds During Covid," and "First Hydrogen-Powered Trains Run in Germany, with Only Emissions -- Condensed Water," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 2nd story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read and showed her. {Smile}

   I did my walking and head exercises. I also did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. I hoped to do more, including arm exercises, arm swinging exercises, and more salsa dancing, but somehow things got pushed too late. {small smile}

   I read comics over lunch and afterwards, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found my RWBY friend. We did a simple mission and started another. Then we tried to watch a RWBY video together, but I couldn't get the subtitles to work, and they really help me follow the story. Then Thecyberchill said hi, and we got together. We ended up working slowly through an old Halloween-themed mission of mine that took us close enough to time to read to Mom, I just did a little paperwork in the remaining time.

   I got back into City of Heroes: Homecoming after dinner. I didn't spot any of the friends I frequently hang out with on, so I worked on paperwork that had piled up that day and the day before. About the time it was done, Phonso said hi, and invited me to the same strike force I didn't join yesterday. We ran it, and then I mentioned it was my first special of the week, and he said he'd have run a different special if he'd known, because it gives better rewards. He ran the one we'd just run again. I did it with the same character because it counts towards a badge, even though it gives poorer rewards the second time if you repeat too soon. I also chatted with Nox, and tried to chat with my Welsh friend, but he didn't stay on. He did respond to what I left while I was asleep, so that is going slowly. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 1, 2023

    I stayed home, mostly taking it easy, but did pay the nursing company when the secretary came over. Then she wanted to talk a bit about what they can do for me after Mom dies. They want to give me as much nursing time as possible, but I'll be limited by what my budget can handle. {Smile}

   I had a nice text conversation with my Welsh friend on Discord. I really enjoyed it, and found it encouraging. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom, and read to her before that, too. I first read scripture and thoughts about it and next read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then, I read about an earlier fall of thread, a great danger on Pern, and the people who lived then, from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Next, I read "School Super Helps a Student with Own insurance -- Gets Small Fine, but Keeps Job," and "California First State to Offer All Students Free Breakfast and Lunch," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 1st story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked both readings and pictures. {Smile}

   I did my walking, head, arm, and arm swinging exercises. I remembered the arm swinging exercises and added them for the first time tonight. {Smile}

   I caught up with comics in the morning, and over lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and found my RWBY friend. We teamed up, and did several missions together, with time out for the talk with the nurse. The missions took us right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I was somehow late getting back onto City of Heroes: Homecoming. I'm not quite sure how that happened. Still, I found Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis. We teamed up and started a story arc on one of my mid-level characters. Phonso invited us to a strike force, but both Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis feared it would run too late for a work night, so we declined, and continued with the story arc. We didn't finish, but we got fairly far before they had to wind down and leave for bed. After that, i worked on paperwork, and did a little research-reading. {Smile}
