Daily Update, August 11, 2025

On Monday before breakfast I called Cardiology because I couldn't make it to a test that was scheduled for that day because I can't safely climb into my relief nurse's tall truck before breakfast. They started to tell me I had to reschedule, even though the doctor who ordered the test left. Then they paused, and checked with a nurse. They came back and said no, I didn't need to do it after all. I was wondering if that was better to talk to my new doctor first. Let him decide if I need it, sicne he'll be treating me now. {Smile} 

Then after breakfast, my relief nurse took my down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my first timers' Line Dancing class. I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed visiting with a few of the other students, especially a fellow I'm getting acquainted with. We had a guest instructor for a few dances near but not at the end. The guest did dances that felt slightly different from our usual ones. It's nice ot change things up once in a while. After class, my relief nurse took me home. {Smile}

Then in the middle of the afternoon the gal with Daughters of the King came for my last discernment session. We went over the last chapter together, including the extra stuff it suggested. tried to answer each of the questions at the end, too. Then we talked a bit about how I need to decide whether to join the order. It is a commitment, and not one that is set up to be easy to back out of. Still, I've been wanting a way to draw closer to God and to get more involved in Church, too. Since Mom passed away, church has become a bigger part of my life, yet I feel like I really could be better connected to it. {smile}

When I got home from my dance class, I had lunch. Then I browsed on the web, played Cross Stitch World, and read web comics until the gal came for the Daughters of the King discernment. After my Daughters of the King discernment, I browsed on the web a bit. I almost started writing my daily update, but I noticed it was getting late. I checked Discord, and talked with Kitten, Dennis and Pierogis a bit. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I joined them for two quick, high-level missions before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web. Then I wrote up my daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house and crafting. Then I talked with Ulty and Jenny's player until I spotted a taskforce. I grabbed a character I thought needed it, though after we started, I realized she'd done it before. She still benefitted from it, getting a few badges, as well as the usual rewards. I also realized Dr. Faustus was doing it too, which was nice. somehow it's less lonely knowing I'm working with a friend, even if our interactions are limited. After the taskforce, I joined Dr. Faustus with him on his villain supergroup member and me on my lower level villain supergroup member. We finished one of my contacts, and got much of another contact done, too, with Kitten joining us for the last two or three missions. Then I made notes in this, and began writing a scene for tomorrow's class on creative writing. Then I finished notes in this and went to bed. {Smile}
