Daily Update, August 1, 2025

On Friday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my ballroom dance: cha-cha class. I got there early. Most got there late, so it started a bit late. I worked on the steps, at first with the gal learning to lead, and later with a couple of other gals. There are enough more gals than guys, not every gal gets to dance with a guy much. I enjoyed dancing, mainly getting the moves I learned last week down better. I also trying to learn more. The gal I danced with first suggested watching online between classes. I'll have to try that. That was my exercise for the day. When class was over, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

After lunch, the nursing company secretary came to pick up the month's check. She didn't have much time to talk but she waited while I made out the check. I'd meant to make it out before she got there, but somehow that didn't happen. {smile}

In the evening, I had a fairly bad spell of gastrointestinal upset. Then middle of my gastrointestinal tract was very gassy, and both ends felt ready to do stuff they thankfully didn't actually do. I looked up a new antibiotic I'd started earlier today online. Both nausea and diarrhea are known side effects, but they may calm down. I can hope, especially if I take it just after meals. I didn't yesterday, but that's helped in the past. {Smile}

After my class, I had lunch while I played Cross Stitch World, browsed the web, and read web comics. Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update, finishing not long before the villain supergroup meeting. I went on my moderately high-level member. One fellow got there before me. Dr. Faustus got there next, with a friend of the first fellow coming last. Dr. Faustus said the leader wasn't coming, and I remembered another regular won't be here for a couple of weeks. We roleplayed lightly, chatting in character. Then they wanted to do a mission I had, but I asked them to get a giant monster first. I needed it for a statistic-improving badge. We got it with the help of folks we recruited who all left as soon as ge was gone. I got the badges I wanted, and the stat improvement, which was very welcome. Then we four did a mission I'd saved for them, followed by another, but Dr. Faustus had to leave for work for a bit. He told us not to wait because his character already had the benefits. We got it done before he returned, which he knew we might. The others left. I stayed until Dr. Faustus came back, but he left for work when he realized we'd finished. He's warned me his work will make for busy weekends for a while longer. Finding myself alone, I worked on the auction house and crafting, along with answering Nox on Discord, until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner I began making notes in this. I also played Cross Stitch World and read web comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked who was on, then worked on auction house and crafting. Then I spent a fair while hunting for badge by fighting those body modding anarchists and some monsters known for wailing on my moderately high-level villain supergroup member. Towards the end, I also talked with Kitten, who seemed too tired to team up. I said goodnight to Nox with only a little talking. Then I worked on crafting and the auction house. While I was winding down, Pierogies said hi, and invited me to sit in a farm he was doing. I did, while making more notes in this, chatting with Pierogies and doing a little web browsing on the side. {Smile}
