Daily Update, December 21, 2025

 The night before Sunday I didn't get to bed early. Also, I slept fitfully at first. So, when I woke up, I felt tired. I tried to fix this by resting while my main nurse took me down to church. My eyes were closed, as I tried to reach half asleep. It seemed to help. I had more energy after that. {Smile}

We actually got there before the service started. I sat with Auntie Barbara, but not long before I remembered that I'd seen a note from someone in our Daughters of the King chapter about poinsettias still being available. So, I looked into it and claimed four, one each for Uncle Lester, Aunt Marjorie, Dad, and Mom. By then, the announcements had started. The service was nice. We had holy communion with the same supply priest as last week. {Smile}

Afterwards, we had lunch on the lanai. Auntie Barbara wanted to eat with others, and talk later, so I ate at a different table, an talked with a few different folks. Auntie Barbara and I did talk on the way to Charlotte's, and from Charlotte's to my home. Yes, we visited Charlotte at her home, with another Anne along with us. The other Anne and Auntie Barbara were planning to go shopping after they took me home after our visit. It was nice talking with Charlotte again. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I read articles and comics, and watched videos, all on the web. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting until Kitten said hi. I stopped so Kitten and I could team up. They wanted to show me something in an extra-tough zone which required a fair bit of setting up to get to. That was rather frustrating, but I was happy to be playing with Kitten. Pierogies tried to join us, but he didn't realize how tough the zone is, and left, frustrated. Kitten kept working with me and finally got me to the place where they could show me a puzzle they found. They've been working on it for a month. It's pretty badly stuck, which is frustrating for them. They're pretty sure it's one or two small things just slightly off... We wound down from this talking about eh puzzle and the frustration with it not long before I was called to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer, and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Kitten. We talked until they said they were tired and faded out. Next, Ulty said hi, and invited me to a taskforce. I ran it with her, Jenny's Player, Nyxy, and the team Ulty recruited. Mostly the same group ran the sequel taskforce, too. My character accidentally gained two levels before I caught it and turned of experience. That character will miss some content, though I could do much of it in a retroactive way that doesn't let me invite friends after beginning an episode. However, I've been reminding myself that I have enough other characters ready to do it, this isn't really much of a loss. I started to fix up that character after the taskforce. I stopped when Dr. Faustus said hi so we could team up. I switched to my younger Hobbit, and we ran a mission that earned a new contact, with Dr. Faustus playing her mage friend who helped her with what she was doing.  When it got to be time, we said goodnight. Then I made notes in this. I took a brief break to play Cross Stitch World, and a longer break for some auction house, crafting, and storage on City of Heroes: Homecoming That included not just improving that character who ran the taskforces but talking with Pierogies. I hope he's less frustrated after I explained how tough that zone really is. I finished my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
