Daily Update, December 30, 2025

Tuesday was a mostly quiet day. I mainly stayed home. However, my housekeeper called. The last check I gave her was cancelled -- they claim by me, though I didn't -- and accrued a few charges for that. She called again to make sure it would be ready because she was running late. Then I called back to check some details. I made out a check to cover everything and gave it to her when she swung by for it. I will have to pursue this... hopefully Friday, but possibly next week will work better. {smile}

Late in the morning I got my story out, and started, reading, revising, and writing it. that carried me right through lunch and into the afternoon. I connected the next scene to the last one I finished and made mostly minor revisions throughout. This took longer than I'd think it ought to, but writing often does. I think it's more work than we give it credit for. {smile}

After breakfast, I read a few articles and watched a few videos on the web. Then I worked on my story through lunch. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I began playing by myself on my higher-level teen supergroup member for well over an hour, with a break for the first phone call from my housekeeper. Then I went to my teen supergroup meeting a little early. Two were already there ahead of me, so I immediately started roleplaying with them. Another came soon, and the leader came a bit later. We soon started a taskforce that my character recently became eligible to run when she gained a few levels. The taskforce went slowly and ran right through dinner. It was over an hour longer than usual. {smile}

When we finished, the supergroup meeting broke up with none of the roleplaying to wind down afterwards that we usually do. Two were ready for bed, and the other two and I were each ready for a break. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I started working on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. Next, I took a break. I read comics on the web. Then I wrote up Monday's daily update before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Dennis. He was teaming with Dr. Faustus and another. I joined them, and the third teammate brought a friend after a mission. Then the two I didn't really know left after another mission. Dennis stayed for two more missions, then left for bed. Dr. Faustus did one more mission, then left, saying they had to leave early. So, I began to work on collecting badges on a few characters. Next, I made notes in this, taking short breaks for more badging before I finished the notes. I finished my day with saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
