Daily Update, April 30, 2025

On Wednesday after breakfast, my main nurse and I discovered we were low in toilet paper. We were surprised to learn I'd just put the last roll on the wall. So, we went to Target. My nurse left me browsing books while he picked up toilet paper and a few other things. I found three books I was interested in. I decided to reserve two on Amazon and possibly try them through the library before buying. They looked popular enough that the public library should have them. I bought the third, a fine hardback copy with fancy endpapers and such of a book I have in plain trade paperback. {Smile}

Then my main nurse took me home again. On the way, I found the book I'd just gotten barely cheaper on Amazon. I'm not unhappy. forty-some cents are worth knowing it won't get damaged in shipping. I ordered the sequel in a similarly fine copy for even less on Amazon. {Smile}

Walking around Target was my exercise. I did an almost full circuit plus a major backup for over a full time around the store's worth of walking, and it's one of the biggest stores in Hilo. {Smile}

After the trip to Target, I ate lunch while browsing the web. The web browsing ran into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update and began notes for this. I also talked with Kitten on the chat server. They encouraged me to get into City of Heroes: Homecoming, which I did next. I started with a tiny bit of paperwork. Then I got together with Pirerogies and Kitten. Pierogies asked about collecting badges on villains. That reminded me that my highest villain was one mission away from the last badge that improves a character particularly directly. We did the whole story are. My character got the badge with its improvement after the first mission, so the rest of the story arc was a test run. That character now has all the improvements of that type available through badges. After that, Pierogies wasn't feeling up to more missions. So, Pierogies, kitten and I watched a two-part My Little Pony episode. We all enjoyed it, but Pierogies was tired enough, he went to bed after that. Then I switched to the character which Kitten designed, and we did a hunt, which Kitten helped me to finish, followed by one mission that we did together before my dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I made more notes in this, then briefly checked the chat server before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork, then played by myself for a while. A chatted a little with Nox on the chat server. I also briefly talked to Ulty, Jenny's player, and Nyxy. then I played by myself some more before I joined them. We roleplayed me dropping by to say hi and wish them a goodnight, mainly. After that, Phonso said hi, and invited me to a taskforce. I joined it and we ran it. Then he left, and I did paperwork until I bumped into a friend who says to call them Bey. We teamed up and he recruited some more folks. We did a few high-level individual missions with a not-quite-full team. Then Bey left, as did some of the others, but I and another stayed. I recruited another and we did a mission Then I recruited another, and we did another mission. Then one left, and we did two more missions before the team broke up, in part because I needed to wind down before bed. First, I did paperwork, then I made mots this. Cross Stitch World, reading web comics, and making more notes in this rounded out my evening. {Smile}
