Daily Update, September 19, 2025

On Friday after breakfast my main nurse took me out. We went to Target first. He left me looking at the books and went to look for things himself. I mainly looked over the fantasy books but didn't find anything. Then and older oriental woman said hi. She recognized me from the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens, which she recently retired from working at. We chatted about what we're doing now, especially elderly dance and exercise classes we're in, though I'm barely qualify for them at 56. My main nurse found us and chatted a bit. Then he had me sit and wait while he went through the checkout, So I played Cross Stitch World on my phone. Next, he went to Safeway and had me wait in the car, I read, as I did on most of our rides between places. After that he took me home. {Smile}

In the afternoon, Carol came and brought back my desktop all cleaned and fixed up. Apparently, it mainly needed new cables. Even the D drive is working again, though we aren't sure how much longer it will. I do need to copy stuff on there... mainly pictures; I think I copied the rest already. Carol and I visited a bit, and I offered samples of dry roasted edamame and chickpeas, both of which I enjoy as healthy snacks. {Smile}

Walking in Target was my exercise for the day. At least I got some done. {Smile}

After we got home, I had lunch while browsing articles on the web and playing a little more Cross Stitch World. Then Carol came. After she left, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I got back on my computer and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming in time to go to the villain supergroup meeting. I chose my higher-level member, since I'd been avoiding her while I was on my laptop. She's one of the harder types of characters for me to play. The laptop makes everything a little harder anyway, so I just avoided the harder ones. Our leader and another member came in slightly after me. They wondered where Dr. Faustus was. I told them that Dr. Faustus told me they'd be late about the time Dr. Faustus arrived. We did a long mission I had that finished a story arc. Then we did a very low-level trial that my character had never done. She got all three badges it's set up to give. Our leader left before we were quite done. After the trial, the meeting broke up even though it was a bit early. I worked on the auction house, storage and crafting until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming and found Dennis. We said hi and started to team up when Dragons said hi and asked to join me. He joined us, and the three of us did a couple of my missions, then one of Dennis's that was in danger of becoming too old. Then Dennis left, and Dragons and I did a couple of Dragons' missions before they left, too. I worked on the auction house, storage, and crafting. Then I began notes in this, taking breaks to browse Amazon, play Cross Stitch World, and check out a new cozy fantasy book. I find I particularly connect with that subgenre, at least right now. I'm not sure why. Then I finished notes in this, with another pause to read web comics. I finished my evening with a prayer and reading Forward Day by Day, followed by a little Amazon shopping. {Smile}
