Daily Update, August 10, 2025

On Sunday after breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. We arrived right at the end of the sermon and sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle. I enjoyed the service. Afterwards, I had lunch on the lanai with Auntie Barbara and the gal who founded our parish's new Daughters of the King chapter. There was a fair bit of dessert, and other stuff, too. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me to Target. I ran into some gals who were concerned about my cane and asked to pray for me. I was fine with that until they declared my vertigo was gone at the end. That is not how severe, permanent vertigo that's at least partly neurological works. Still, I held my tongue and reminded myself that they meant well. They were just annoyingly clueless. {small smile}

My main nurse and I had a little trouble finding the monitors, but asking a clerk helped. Then we could only find a brand I wasn't looking for. We asked another clerk, who started showing us things, and the second was exactly the monitor I wanted: a 24" Samsung marked down to a little over $100, which is better than Amazon at the moment. We got that, and finished a circuit around the store. So I did get some walking in this weekend. Then we bought the monitor and left. {Smile}

At home, my nurse connected the stand to the panel, then gave it to me. He came by a little later, just as I got the thing working, He was impressed he didn't have to set it up for me. After that, I browsed the web, read a few web comics, and looked over Discord. I tried writing my daily update but didn't get very far. I did say goodnight to Pierogis. Then I treated my blood sugar and felt enough more like myself to ask in a conversation with Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies (who was still talking) whether I should clean myself up before or after going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dennis said to play after, so I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and got together with Dennis. We squeezed in two moderately high-level missions before dinner. They were my missions, but fought enemies Dennis is working on, so helped us both, which we both agreed was particularly nice. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed on the web and watched videos, though not any videos for any of my classes. Then I made myself finish my daily update before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house, storage and crafting. I went back out to watch a couple of videos, then got back in in time for Dr. Faustus to invite me to a badge mission he was running with several others, too. It took me longer than usual to find a character who needed it, I eventually I found one. I ran the mission with the team he'd gotten. Then the team dispersed. Dr. Faustus left to restart his computer because of a power failure, so I worked on the auction house, crafting, and storage until Dr. Faustus came back. We picked my lower-level villain supergroup member and her supergroup mate and much of one of her contacts. We fought a bunch of cultists with ghosts, and a spider themed villain group. Then we said goodnight. I did some auction house and storage and made notes in this with breaks for Cross Stitch World and videos. {Smile}
