Daily Update, November 23, 2025

On Sunday, despite getting to bed a little late, I got up early so I could go to church and not miss too much of the nine o'clock service. They had a special service in honor of the Holy Sovereigns, King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, who invited the Church of England to come and establish churches in Hawai'i. They became patrons within the church by this action, reinforced by their charitable work that helped the Hawaiian people. {Smile}

My main nurse dropped me off at my church, then went to visit my relief nurse, who has been in the hospital for over a week. I arrived early in the sermon, or at least during the sermon, but it felt like I caught most of it. The sermon and the rest of the service were nice. {Smile}

Afterwards, we had a bigger potluck out back, also in honor of the holy sovereigns. I didn't eat with the big group, though Instead, I gathered food and took them to a small room in the parish hall so I could attend the monthly meeting of the Daughters of the King. While waiting for the meeting to start, I filled out the form I'd printed out as much as was easy and made out a check. I gave both to the gal, who thanked me, and announced that I'd finished joining the group. Then we did members' prayer requests, though somehow, I got skipped over and didn't find a place to share even later in the meeting about my relief nurse being sick, or any of the coping we're having to do suddenly. The Daughters of the King did discuss future plans for the parish and our Daughters of the King chapter. Then we adjourned. {Smile}

I joined up with Auntie Barbara and one Daughters of the King member in going to visit Charlotte. On the way, I finally told Auntie Barbara and the other gal in the car about my relief nurse being in the hospital though Auntie Barbara had to relay the news to the other gal because I couldn't make myself heard over the car noises. We had a nice visit with Charlotte and her cat, who came in and meowed quite a bit while inspecting us guests and soliciting petting from us. Charlotte missed the service, but we worked out she just caught the end, because it started an hour earlier than usual. I hope someone helps her catch the saved recording later. We tried but couldn't figure out her computer. She asked us to bring a service bulletin during the week. It looks like that's my job, since I live in town, and have my Dance Fusion class on Wednesday, the day it should get printed. 

After the visit, they took me home. I got onto my computer. where I read articles and watched videos on the web until I gave up and took a nap. I met a new substitute relief nurse on the way to my nap. He doesn't drive, and doesn't cook, but they have plans to make this work. After my nap, I went back to my computer. I read articles on the web while I woke up. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I I checked on my friends. not finding anyone I usually team up with, I cleaned up with help of my main nurse. Afterwards, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming to work on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Saturday's daily update. Then I read some comics on the web before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I took the character Kitten designed, and trained them up a level, since I hadn't since they'd earned the XP, and there are choices, so it's not automatic. Noticing they were close to another level - the last until I do more content - I hunted on them by myself, and sure enough, they got that level, too. So, I trained them up again. Then Divi said hi, and we talked. They invited me to a strike force. I also talked with Dennis on Discord, and when he heard about the strike force, he came on and joined us, getting the last spot on the team for the strike force. We ran the strike force. During it, I started talking with Nox off and on through the rest of the evening. After the strike force, the team broke up. I said goodnight to Dennis. Next, I talked with Divi while working on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting that the strike force produced until Dr. Faustus said hi. I helped him with a mission which he said I was ahead of, but I looked into it, and discovered I was quite a way behind it. So, after that, we worked on the first part of getting it. until we broke for the day. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting that produced. After that, I made notes in this, taking a break to play Cross Stitch World, and another break to tell the Daughters of the King in a group text conversation we have going about my relief nurse being int he hospital, and a hint about how that's affecting my home. Then I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
