Daily Update, October 30, 2025

On Thursday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to First Hawaiian Bank. I told them I want to open an account for Dad's trust. It's the bank that lets my financial advisor have access to my accounts with my permission, which is much more convenient. To open a new account, I need an appointment. The other Hilo branch had several appointments next Thursday. I chose 3 pm as the one comfortably far from two other appointments that day. Then my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

When I got home from the bank, I called my financial advisers and left a message on their answering machine. Their secretary called me back to get more details. She promised my advisor will call Monday, the soonest day she's available. {Smile}

I also called my cousin, Kim, and left a message on her answering machine. I'll have to follow up with her soon. {Smile}

After the phone calls, I had lunch while reading web articles and browsing on Amazon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Div teaming with Kitten and joined them on that moderately high-level character I've been working on recently. We did a couple of her missions. Pierogies joined us in the second one. Then Kitten left after one more, too tired to continue. Div stayed for another couple before leaving for bed himself. Next Pierogies and did one or two more missions. Towards the end, Dennis came on, said hi and joined us. Then Pierogies left for bed, and Dennis and I did some trick-or-treat, followed by one of those Halloween missions, Next, Dennis left to play another game with a dear friend of his. I did very little with the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting before breaking to clean myself up with the help of my main nurse. Afterwards, I did some more some auction house, storage, and crafting in City of Heroes: Homecoming before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game, too. I found Kitten, and we talked. then we teamed up to do a few more missions with me on the same character. Dennis joined us after one or two missions. After another mission, Dr. Faustus joined us. We reached the end of that character's missions before I let her go up in level. Meaning starting about then, she's working on gaining a level, though she's high enough for gaining levels to be slow. Next, we did a couple of Halloween missions for Dennis before he left for the evening. Then Dr. Faustus suggested we switch to the mid-level characters in the post-apocalyptic setting. About then, Kitten went quiet and timed out. Dr. Faustus and I started with talks, then completed a mission automatically - once every three days, we can tell the system to complete a mission without having to play through it. I normally don't like to do that, but Dr. Faustus felt this one was far too likely to fail. Then we finished the story arc we were in, and started the next story arc, doing a couple of missions until we hit a very rough mission. It ended almost as late as we usually finish, and we were tired enough from the struggle of the last mission, we just broke to reconvene another night. After that, I went back and forth between the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, and making notes in this, with a break to read a couple of web comics before I ended the evening with the Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
