Daily Update, September 22, 2024

On Sunday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. The driver they picked was fairly close and quite nicely chatty. I arrived a little before the announcements despite barely getting bed earlier the night before. {Smile}

It was a nice service, followed by a nice lunch with friends, with not that many desserts for once. Our parish does love to bring deserts. {Smile}

A couple of guys took me home. I really enjoyed talking with them on the way. They're fun. {Smile}

Home communion came by later, after visiting another gal nearby first. I joined Mom and the nurse in having communion with them. It's really for Mom. I can get to church, and our nurse isn't really a member, for all that I suspect we're the church he doesn't go to, if you understand that phrase. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I to her late, but Mom was wide awake when I went in and stayed awake while I read. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Then I continued _The Happy Book Babies_. Next, I read the last story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_, finishing the book. I ended my reading with September 21st's story, "Winter Stores," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm swinging exercises while waiting for Uber to come and take me to church. Both the driver and I were impressed with how that ended just as he arrived. After playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming when I wasn't talking with Kitten on the chat server most of the evening, I did my first 8 walking exercises, including two hard ones. Then I did my head exercises, squeezing them in a little later than I'd like. I really should get to these earlier. {smile}

After I got home from church, I played Cross Stitch World and researched video cards until home communion came. After home communion, I wrote more of Saturday's daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes Homecoming and started on paperwork. I didn't find anyone I like play with, so I started playing by myself. Then Dennis said hi, checked out a giant monster, then joined me to help me finish my mission. After the mission we said goodnight before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner I finished writing Saturday's daily update. I also talked with Kitten on chat server at some length. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Not seeing anyone I started on paperwork, then looked around. All I usually like to talk to had disappeared, so I played by myself on some of my characters while researching video cards. That's one way to avoid complaints about distracted play. I heard from more of my tech-oriented friends over the day, with one favoring the higher end model, and others favoring the lower end model. Which is still a lot more than I had, let alone what I have now, She put a weaker graphics card in because that's what was on hand. I said goodnight to Nox, having missed talking with them. Then I played more Cross Stitch World and did some of my exercises. Next, I did some more research, some more exercises and some more Cross Stitch World before I finished writing and making notes in this for the evening.

Daily Update, September 21, 2024

 On Saturday, I stayed home, and mostly took it easy. I found Facebook was back to normal when got onto my computer. that was quite a relief. {SMILE} I did text the gal about the video cards. I also talked about them with Kitten, who had definite opinions about what they could do. I also talked about them a little with Nox, who didn't have as many or as strong opinions on them. I left messages with a few other friends asking their opinions, mainly folks I know are far more knowledgeable about computers than I am. I heard back from Dr. Faustus before bed about them. {Smile}

I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in and stayed awake while I read. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. After that, I started _The happy Book Babies_. Then I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I finished with September 21st's story, "Bobby's Toys," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

This isn't one of my usual exercises, but I did a lot of bending over after lunch I was picking up spilled dry roasted chickpeas. It was a fair-sized spill, so I was tired by the end! Then I did my head exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and eight of my walking exercises, including two of the more strenuous ones after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming for much of the evening. Then, after a break, I did my arm swinging exercises before it got too late. {Smile}

After reading _Avalanche_ over breakfast, I read articles, did some other web browsing, and played Cross Stitch World until I wrote up my daily update before, during and after lunch. Then i played more Cross Stitch World and did some online shopping before I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I started with paperwork. Then I started talking with Pierogies. We teamed up so he could farm while I sat in, as something to do in-game while we watched a couple of comic dubs. These are videos of comics where they show the pictures while one or more people read the lines. I also chatted with Dennis, since he was busy in a task force. When it was done, Dennis left. Pierogies was quiet after the second show. (He told me the next day he'd fallen asleep. I just said goodnight and left to read to Mom, since it was time. {Smile}

After dinner, I began making notes in this. I also talked at some length with Kitten about the graphics card options. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming a bit late. I started with paperwork. Next, I also started talking with Nox. I somehow found I wasn't in as much of a mood to chat with others who I spotted. I was still thinking about the video card, and most of my tech savvy friends who might help me sort out that graphics card were absent.  So, I soloed a few missions each on a couple of characters. After that, I did some exercises and wrote some of this. Then I did some research followed by more exercise. Next, I started making more notes in this, with a little City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork and some Cross Stitch World. I really need to cut out playing games and reading when it's too late to exercise. That would help me tame my bedtime. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 20, 2024

I woke up on Friday to find a text waiting for me from the gal who fixed my computer. She was busy that morning but said she would work up a couple of estimates and email me them later. She got them to me the same evening I am so relieved that I got her. I noted which numbers she said should work in the future, so when I need her again, I can find her. {SMILE}

After breakfast, I sat down at my computer and realized it couldn't find the internet. I waited a bit and tried restarting some programs. I even tried restarting the computer and the modem. Nothing helped. So, I checked on my phone. My internet provider reported no internet outage in my area when I checked my provider's website. however, I spotted a way to ask for help and did so. A fellow started texting me right on the site. Between turning things off and on, unplugging the router, and him resetting the modem, we got it working. Well, except Facebook has had mostly broken and missing pictures today.  However, a cousin on a different island who has the same provider had the same problem that morning. I just left the computer on until bedtime. I didn't want to disturb it. I was concerned it might lose the internet again. {rueful smile}

I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in but rested when I started reading. I hope she finds my voice soothing. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Next, I finished _The Picture Book of Babies_. After that, I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with September 20th's story, "Winter in Africa," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my head exercises, arm resistance exercises, and arm swinging exercises after teaming on City of Heroes: Homecoming most of the evening, and a bit of Cross Stitch World to wind down afterwards, too. After a break, I did four of my walking exercises before it got entirely too late. That wasn't as much as the day before, but I'll just have to try harder the next day. {smile}

I had a leisurely breakfast reading _Avalanche_ by Mercedes Lackey, Cody Martine, Dennis Lee, and Veronica Giguere while sitting with mom. Then I moved to the computer, and the fuss with getting the modem to find the internet took most of the morning. after that, I just played Cross Stich World and read before lunch. Again, I read Avalanche while eating lunch. When I got back to my computer, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started on paperwork. Then Pierogies and I started talking. I thought we'd team up, but he remembered this is the week the villain supergroup meets. I checked with Dr. Faustus, and the meeting was going in the base. I joined the group just as they were getting to missions together. We did a story arc someone had. After that story arc, the group split up. I did some more paperwork and hunted by myself on a character before I broke to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Thursday's daily update and read some comics before hoping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I spotted Dennis and said hi. He'd just checked and not seen me. We teamed up and did a couple of my missions. Then Dennis spotted a taskforce. We joined it and ran it. I also talked with Nox on the chat server. Dennis and I talked a while after the taskforce before we said goodnight. Then I did some paperwork. After that, i played some Cross Stitch World before I started my exercises. After that I played more Cross Stitch World and started making notes in this before doing a few more exercises. I wound down with even more Cross Stitch World and making notes and writing in this. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 19, 2024

 I stayed home and had a mostly quiet day. I'm trying to get in touch with the gal who fixed my computer. but the contact information is mostly for her shop, which she recently closed. I have one more recent contact I can try, though. I hope it works. I've decided I would like a better graphics card. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I went in, and through the first part, but she woke up more as we went along. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Then I continued _The Picture Book of Babies_. Next, I read September 19th's story, "Autumn Leaves," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. Then I realized I'd skipped a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_, so I ended with that. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my head exercises with only short breaks after teaming for much of the evening After a longer break, I did six of my walking exercises before it got too late. {Smile}

Over and after breakfast, I read articles and comics. Then I played some Cross Stitch World. After that, I finished writing up Wednesday's daily update before lunch Over Lunch, I enjoyed _Avalanche_. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I started with paperwork. Then I teamed with Pierogies for a few missions. Then Kitten and Dennis joined us, I can't quite remember which order. Next, Pierogies left. Kitten, Dennis, and I did a few more missions until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

Over dinner, I read a little more _Avalanche_. Afterwards, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, starting with paperwork again. Next, Kitten and I said hi and teamed up for two or three missions. Freaky invited us to the first of three trials as we were starting a mission. We left it to do the trials. I also talked with Nox on the chat server. Right after trials ended, Pierogies came in, wanting to farm with Kitten and me. We did for a bit. Then I left them to it, popping out to do my exercises before going back to their farm. Then I began writing and making notes in this. Next, more exercise, then some City of heroes: Homecoming paperwork before I finished my notes in this. {Smile}

Daily Update September 18, 2024

On Wednesday, after breakfast, I had a video appointment with the nutritionist. I think it went well. She's happy with my gradual weight loss progress and with the healthier snacks I have been switching to. She had a suggestion with the snacks, and she'll let me know if she thinks of more. {Smile}

I had a text conversation with my British friend on the chat server again. I should say that I have several British friends, but he might be the only one who's sometimes active on the chat server. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in. She paid attention to the reading throughout. She seemed to enjoy it, and even said she did at least once. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. After that, I continued _The Picture Book of Babies_. Then I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with September 18th's story, "Mushrooms," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my head exercises, and my arm resistance exercises after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming for much of the evening. After a break, I did my arm swinging exercises even though it was slightly late for them. It's an improvement over the day before. {Smile}

After the video appointment, I played Cross Stitch World. Then I had lunch and read some comics. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started on paperwork. Then Pierogies said hi, and we talked and teamed up. We did a few missions on my character who's going up in levels. After a few, we said goodnight. Then Dennis said hi. So did Kitten. Then three of us got together and started doing other missions with me on the same character. A friend of Kitten's that I'm acquainted with joined us. The four of us did a couple more missions before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I played a lot of Cross Stitch World while thinking about things. Then I finished writing Tuesday's daily update. After that I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I started on paperwork while talking with Divi. Then Kitten said hi, and Kitten and I teamed up. We cleared a couple of harder hunts, then ran some regular missions that same character has. We started a story arc when I could. I also talked a little with Nox on the chat server, too. Then Kitten asked about my exercise time I thought I had time for one more mission first, but Kitten went quiet, so I did paperwork before my exercises. Next, I played a little more Cross Stitch World before I began working on this, doing a mix of notes and writing. Then I did more exercise and a tiny bit more paperwork before I finished working on this, mostly making more notes to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 17, 2024

After breakfast on Tuesday, the driver came and took me to the monthly meeting. We had a nice chat on the way down. {Smile}

I got a phone call from Life Care Center outpatient physical therapy just as meeting was starting. I quickly made an appointment to start physical therapy next week Friday. {Smile}

The first part of the meeting was mainly a talk and film on fall prevention. It gave me some good and very welcome ideas. As a person with vertigo, fall prevention and planning to cope with falls are both big concerns for me. {smile}

The second part was lunch. We moved to the lunchroom, where I sat with a new gal at first. We had a nice talk, with me listening often, but also taking a turn to speak. Later she left, and I joined the main table. I mainly listened there. {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in. She listened mostly quietly but attentively. She didn't speak much, but when she did, she said particularly clearly that she was enjoying herself. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it, first yesterday's, then today's. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Next, I continued _The Picture Book of Babies_. After that, I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with two stories in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. First, I read September 16th's story, "Old Mr Bear." Then I read September "Baby Kiki." 17th's story, {Smile}

I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. I meant to do more, but it got too late. It's the day after the teeth, so I couldn't have done much more anyway; I just don't have that much energy yet. {smile}

After I got home from the meeting, I played Cross Stitch World to unwind. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork, then broke for some web browsing including comics. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Dennis, but I excused myself to go clean myself up and did so. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I teamed up with Dennis, and we did a couple of Dennis's missions before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner I played some Cross Stitch World and wrote up Monday's daily update. Then I played some more Cross Stitch World before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, then said hi to Phonso. I joined him for three trials and chatted more than usual with other teammates. Some of them were quite chatty. That often doesn't happen. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server, too. After the trials, folks left, so I did some paperwork. Then I played some more Cross Stitch World before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I was going to start more paperwork when Pierogies said hi, and invited me to a farm. I didn't fight alongside him, but dipped in and out, visiting while I was in, and first playing Cross Stitch World then making notes and a tiny bit of writing in this while I was out. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 16, 2024

On Monday, my dentist's office called before lunch to remind me about my dental appointment after lunch. They stressed that I couldn't be late because they had too much to do, and it would help to be early. I called Uber after lunch and got a chatty driver. We had a nice talk most of the way down. {Smile}

I didn't get there as early as they hoped, and they didn't take me right away, thought that might be because I wasn't sure how to let them know I was here when the front desk was empty. They did take me before too long and prepped two crowns. Then they made the crowns right in the office and put them in. That took 3 1/2 hours and got done earlier than they'd feared when they called. {smile}

I made an appointment for one more crown in early January, because it can wait. There's no temporary crown involved yet, while these both had temporary crowns which only last so long. The third crown is in front, so they want to send off to the lab for a pretty crown. So, I'll need a second appointment, but we'll make that when the crown has been prepped. 

Another chatty driver took me howe. We had a nice talk that lasted over half the trip. {Smile}

Int he morning, I also got a phone call from the driver who often takes me to and from the monthly meeting... it's not quite a picnic when it's indoors, is it? We confirmed her taking me to the monthly meeting the next day, and I got the expected pickup time. {Smile}

I had a nice texting-talk with a British friend on the chat server in the evening, too. {Smile}

I didn't read to Mom. I was just too tired; it needed to start less than an hour after I got home from the dentist.  {smile}

I did my arm swinging exercises and my head exercises on the way down to the dentist. I was too drained after my tooth work to do any more that day. {smile}

After breakfast, I did some web browsing and played Cross Stitch World until lunch. After lunch, I exercised while waiting for Uber to take me to the dentist. I did enjoy the Uber trips to and from the dentists. Both drivers were chatty enough, they made the trip more interesting. When I got home, I started with reading comics. It was a nice way to relax and regroup. Then I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming for a bit of paperwork before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I teamed up with Dennis, who was finishing a mission. While we were in it, Phonso invited us to a trial. We finished the mission, then joined Phonso. He led three related trials that Dennis and I did with him. Then they both left, so I worked on the paperwork it made. I also chatted with Nox and my British friend on the chat server. first Nox said goodnight, then my British friend went quiet. After that, Paradox said on the chat server that they were going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. We met up and did a few missions on the character I'm trying to level. He finally got his first level in a long time! Then Paradox left, and I did more paperwork. I also made notes in this, not really having the time or energy to write anything up properly. {smile}

Daily Update, September 15, 2024

 On Sunday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber, and a driver came and took me to church.  I actually got to church on time. I even had time to settle in before the service, which was nice, as was the service. {Smile}

I had lunch on the lanai afterwards.  I sat with some of the parishioners and chatted with them. Auntie Barbara wasn't there. She was starting her yearly trip home to visit longtime friends and family.  {Smile}

The Pennys took me home with minimal arranging. That was wonderful. {Smile}

That evening, I discovered how to keep the corset from digging into my waist uncomfortably.  I need to ignore the manufacturers' instructions about lying down to put it on. Instead, I put it on standing upright, in good posture, but not too tightly.  {Smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I went in but roused easily when I said I'd read to her. She roused even better when we started the pictures. Those did start with the baby pictures. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Then I started _The Picture Book of Babies_, since I'd finished _Picture Book Babies_ yesterday. Next, I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with the 15th of September's story, "The Straw Basket," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did four of my arm-swinging exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then, after starting to write this up after dinner, I did my head exercises, my other eight arm-swinging exercises, and my arm resistance exercises. After that, I did eleven and a half of my walking exercises, doing the 10 less strenuous ones first, then starting on the more strenuous ones. After a break, I did the other half of the exercise I stopped in the middle of plus all of the next, and half of the last one. So that's thirteen and a half of my fourteen walking exercises, including most of the more strenuous ones. {Smile}

After I got home from church, I wrote more of Saturday's daily update. Then I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork, and said hi to Kitten, who didn't respond immediately. So, I finished writing up Saturday's daily update. Then I said hi to Kitten again. I spotted that pair of taskforces my third-best badge collector is still working on and joined them. Kitten said hi just after we'd filled. We ran it particularly quickly. I said hi to Kitten right after we finished but got no response. They just disappeared, as characters often do when they've been inactive too long. However, Pierogies said hi, so we teamed up. We ran a mission my character who's almost ready to gain a few levels needed to finish. It turned out to be the last mission I needed. Pierogies suggested the later long, large-group event, but I wanted to fit in a bath before dinner. We said goodnight-in-case. Then Dennis said hi. He offered a quick mission that gets a badge that he was doing with his best friend. It turned out my fourth best badge collector didn't have it. We ran it quickly, going straight for the main goal. I said goodbye and left while they continued to fight lesser critters in there. Next, I cleaned myself up before I read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World, then started writing part of this up and made some notes. Then I did some exercises and added more to this. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Kitten, and we teamed up. We ran some missions of my character, helping him gain not quite enough experience to gain a level over the course of the evening. I also chatted a little with Nox on the chat server. Then I did some exercise. Next, I wrote and took notes in this and did a bit of web browsing before doing a bit more exercise. I finished the evening with more web browsing, some comics, and a few more notes in this. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 14, 2024

Saturday was a quiet day. Nothing much out of the ordinary happened. {Smile}

 I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was resting when I went in, and drowsed at times, but enjoyed the pictures. She woke up more for the baby pictures and stayed more awake after that. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a long card from a friend of one of her sisters. After that I continued _Picture Book Babies_, commenting on the pictures, and reading interesting facts about babies. Then I read a story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with the 14th of September's story, "Back to School," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm swinging exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. then I did my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Much later, after teaming and cleaning myself up, I squeezed in my 10 less strenuous walking exercises. This is a distinctly poorer exercise day, but I was drained after dinner, for reasons I don't understand. {smile}

I had breakfast with Mom and _Avalanche_. After that came web browsing and Cross Stitch World until lunch, despite hoping to get more done. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. A new friend invited me to a task force. While waiting for it to start, Kitten said hi. We tried to get Kitten in, but the new friend didn't see my notice, and Kitten asked them just after it filled. I apologized to Kitten and promised to team with them afterwards. Then ran the taskforce with my new friend. Afterwards, I couldn't find Kitten. I did some paperwork while I looked for them. I found out later they were called in to work on an off day. They didn't come back to the game for the rest of the day. Later, Pierogies found me, and we teamed up. We ran a mission or two, then watched an episode of _Cursed Princess Club_, a comic series on Webtoon that has some "comic dub" videos where the comic is read out loud while the comic panels are shown. Dennis said hi, and I responded right after Cursed Princess Club. Dennis apologized for not coming in early enough to team. Then I broke to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner and what exercise that I did just after it, I played some Cross Stitch World before beginning to write this up. Then I read some comics before hopping back into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I said hi to Ulty, Jenny's player, and Divi. They seemed busy, so I tried soloing a mission. I eventually gave up because this would be more fun with company. I also began chatting with Nox on chat server. After the aborted mission, I started on paperwork. Then Mysty said hi. I said hi back, and invited her to join me in that mission, starting over from the beginning. It turned out to be awfully long, but when Mysty was almost tired enough to leave, she checked ahead. Thankfully, she found that the end was not much further, so we finished it, and said goodnight. Then I started on paperwork again. Pierogies soon said hi we did the follow up mission, which was much shorter. It was so short, Pierogies apologized for not helping more, which kind of makes me wish they'd been opposite lengths. Both Mysty and Pierogies would probably have been happier, but that didn't happen. I assured him he'd done great, and we said goodnight. Then I squeezed in cleaning myself up before I exercised, which is a lot of why I didn't get more exercise in. After that I played a little more Cross Stitch World, but mainly wrote a little more of this and made lots of notes in it to write from the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update. September 13. 2024

On Friday, our housekeeper came, and our house is definitely better for her attentions. {Smile}

I have been trying to do more chores and such that I really can do myself. I'm starting slow. So far, I'm increasing my self-care and doing some dishes. I plan to work up. I talked with nursing company secretary, and yes, this will help my general well-being and may even help expenses when I become the nurses' primary focus. {Smile}

I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was resting when I went in, but definitely awake this time. She responded pretty well when spoken to right through the readings. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. The I read four cards, repeating one from her nephew, and one from each of two different cousins from yesterday, and adding a card from me. Next, I read _Picture Book Babies_, commenting on the pictures, and reading interesting facts about babies. After that, I repeated yesterday's story from _My Little Pony 5-Minute Stories_. I ended with the 13th of September's story, "The Helper," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. then I did my arm swinging exercises after dinner. after playing City of Heroes: homecoming, I did two of my sitting arm weight training exercises. After a short break, I did my 10 less strenuous walking exercises. After another short break, I did my head exercises. After that, it got too late before I did more, in part because I'm trying to shut down a little earlier. {Smile}

I ate breakfast with Mom and read the book. That's _Avalanche_, by Mercedes Lackey, Cody Martin, Dennis Lee, and Veronica Giguere. It's the fifth in The Secret World Chronicles series. Then I read articles and played Cross Stitch World before I finished writing up yesterday's daily update. Next, I had lunch with Mom and the book. After that, I Hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I did paperwork and checked with Pierogies. I stopped to clean myself up while the housekeeper cleaned elsewhere and let her know when I was done. Then I went back into City of heroes: Homecoming. I again found Pierogies again, and we did a mission and a half in something that can't be joined after starting. Thats' when Dennis came in and said hi. Then I realized what we were doing wasn't as short as I thought, and we wouldn't get when Pierogies wanted his character to be free. So, we quit to join Dennis. Pierogies suggested watching a show, but Dennis wanted to play City of Heroes. Kitten joined us, and we did a mission Dennis wanted help on, followed by a few missions picked by Dennis, I think. That took me up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, my exercises, and beginning to write this up and making notes in it, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dennis found me when I'd barely started on paperwork. We did a couple of my villain missions. Kitten joined us at the very end of the second. Then we did a couple of Dennis's missions that he really wanted Kitten's help with. I also started talking with Nox on the chat server. Then Dennis left, and I switched to the hero I've been working on levelling. Kitten and I ran a few missions, going a little later than I hope to, since I'm trying to move my bedtime earlier. But I did that because it finished a story arc that I'm sure I want him to get before levelling. After that, I did my exercises, with a little City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork because I'd made so many notes in this earlier, as well as finishing the writing and notes in this. {Smile}
