Daily Update, September 2, 2025

On Tuesday after breakfast, I made three phone calls. One was to my doctor to tell them that I need a prescription refilled. The next was to check in with my financial adviser. The third was to Carol, who fixes my computer, to make arrangements for the next phase, giving my laptop a thorough check up, then doing the same for my desktop after that. She will start at either the end of this week, or the beginning of next week, because that's what her schedule is currently like. {Smile}

After that, my relief nurse took me down to my creative writing. It went well. It included special plans for our next class, since that will be the last class for this quarter. After class, my teacher and I discussed what I could do with the story I'm working for in planning ahead, or some of it. I really need to find some folks to brainstorm possibilities with. I see what I'm working on now, and the next phase of the series - at least that's what I think of it as. However, I don't see what's beyond that phase, though I feel like it isn't the last. Anyway, during class I had lunch. After class, my relief nurse took me home. {Smile}

After we got home, I visited with the nursing company owner, who stayed overnight. Then I hopped onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I first checked my friends, and looked at storage and the auction house. Then I went to the teen supergroup meeting. They weren't in our base like usual. When I asked the Supergroup, the leader told me to read the introductory announcement for the information about the base they were having an end of summer trip to the beach in. The base was a beach with shops and restaurants along a boardwalk. We changed into swimsuits and met at the beach, where we talked in character, with some swimming and others sitting on the shore. Some went to the boardwalk and picked up several pizzas, which our characters made short work of, being active, growing teenagers with appropriately large appetites. Then we went to an arcade, where we challenged each other to play games that we decided by rolling computer-dice mostly in pairs right up to dinner, which I had with the nurse, watching TV while the nursing company owner took care of some phone calls in the next room. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to the supergroup's party, which was down to six, from eight earlier. We played a little more in pairs, then found a game all six could play at once. After that, one left permanently, and our leader left long enough for the rest of us to do a four-person trial out-of-character. Then our leader came back and the five of us did 2 or 3 missions out of character before saying goodnight and breaking up. Next, I worked with crafting, storage, and the auction house. After that, I chatted with Nox and started making notes in this. I shifted to playing Cross Stitch World, then browsed the web and made more notes in this. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I worked on crafting and the auction house some more. Then I read Forward Day by Day, along with The Lord's Prayer. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming again to check on some of my characters before ending the day with web comics and browsing the web. {Smile}
