Daily Update, December 20, 2025

On Saturday, late in the afternoon, my main nurse took me down to church. They were having a "blue Christmas service" for people who are struggling with being happy through the holidays, especially if they're missing loved ones who've died or live elsewhere, but also for other reasons. It was ecumenical, with ministers from a few different churches involved, along with our own deacon. {smile}

I talked with Laurie, a fellow member of the Daughters of the King, beforehand, and one of Charlotte's daughters, who used to be one of our housekeepers, afterwards. She's part of why I say, "our families are friends," since we both got drawn into our parents' friendship, becoming friends ourselves. We had cookies on the lanai afterwards, which gave me a chance to talk to a few more people. Then my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

After breakfast. I read comics and articles and watched videos, all on the web. Then I had lunch with some more videos and comics on the web. I also wrote up my daily update, taking breaks for more videos and comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, then worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. I also talked with Pierogies and Kitten, but they were both too tired to team up and play. So, I tried to badge hunt on my best badge hunter, but she's getting harder to badge hunt on, so I gave up and went to church. When we got back from the service, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles on the web until I had dinner with my main nurse. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting until The_Cyberchill, a Twitch streamer I know, said hi. We teamed up and started a mission together. Then they stopped to improve their character while I hunted on my own. When they were done, we got back to my mission. Things went a little better, so we did a couple more missions. Next, Dr Faustus joined us. We did a few more missions before Kitten joined us, too, followed quickly by Dragons and a friend of theirs. We did a couple more before Dr. Faustus left, and Kitten said they were tired and faded out. Dragons, their friend and I did three more missions before we broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I started making notes in this. I did break to play Cross Stitch World before finishing my notes in this. I closed out my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Froward Day by Day. {Smile}
