Daily Update, August 23, 2025

On Saturday in the morning, I started writing not long after breakfast. I think I wrote for over an hour, switching back and forth between my daily update and the story I'm revising for my creative writing class. When I'm just writing my daily update, I can't write nearly as long before I get distracted and find myself taking a break. However, with two different writing tasks, I could switch back and forth. I didn't tire nearly as quickly when working on the story anyway, even though it was slow going. I kept needing to compose stuff before writing it. {Smile}

Then in the middle of the afternoon my main nurse took me out. Our first stop was Liliu'okalani Gardens. We parked near the fishing pier and walked through the park to the ice cream parlor for a popsicle. I got a liliko'i cream (passionfruit cream). Then we walked through the park by a different route while I ate my popsicle. Next, we stopped by Safeway and picked up some prescriptions and a few more things. Then we ran another errand before my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

The writing took most of my morning until I stopped to clean myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I had lunch while finishing my daily update. Then I browsed on the web a bit before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house and storage and worked on some badges until I went out with my main nurse. After I got back, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the auction house and badges until Pierogies said hi. We talked, then did an individual mission. After that, we just hunted, so we could drop it when I was called to dinner.  I think we were both surprised how long the hunting lasted. {Smile}

After dinner I read from Forward Day by Day. Then I browsed on the web a bit before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on the auction house and my friends, chatting with Ulty in the game and Nox on Discord, the chat server. Then I spotted Dr. Faustus and said hi. They were in a taskforce, so I fiddled around with a character. They he told me his taskforce had found a giant monster at the end. I joined the league they were forming to help fight the giant monster. Then we left, only for Dr. Faustus to find another group working on a different giant monster. I got in on the tail end of that one, too. After that, we did much of a story arc nearby and squeezed in a badge mission before Dr. Faustus had to leave. Before long, Azurette said hi. They showed me a new part of the base, and I told her about the villain supergroup I belong to, and that they're looking for role players who'd like to join. They showed me a character that they think could work. I later remembered that it sort of almost fits character type from the game that the supergroup draws from. Afterwards, I made notes in this, with only a break to check with Azurette about the character. {Smile}
