Daily Update, December 11, 2025

I forgot to mention that on Wednesday, my housekeeper came. The house is both cleaner and more festive looking, since she's started putting up Christmas decorations. she's also done a bit more in the bedroom that I'm clearing out. {Smile}

On Thursday, just after breakfast, I had video counselling. It was a good session. We talked a lot about preparing to have nurses only part of the time. She has a lot of definite ideas, nd most sound well thought out. {Smile}

Right after counselling, my main nurse took me down to Hilo Hearing Aid where I got my hearing aids checked. He also looked in my ears. My right ear is less red, but still not clear enough to check the hearing. Then my main nurse took me to Prince Kuhio Plaza, where I walked around the whole place, including the major corridors, both Macys, Old Navy, Bath & Body Works, and T.J. Maxx. Next, after checking and finding the desserts at Zippy's are significantly larger than the popsicles, we went to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens to pick up a chocolate fudge popsicle for me. After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

When I got home, I got onto my computer. I read articles and comics, and watched videos, all on the web. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that, I started playing by myself on my slightly higher-level teen supergroup member, doing the next mission in that villain story arc. Then Dragons invited me to a winter-themed trial, but I finished the mission first, missing the trial. When it finished, Dragons joined me. They wanted to do it again, but they did not want to lead. So, I recruited for the trial, getting Kitten early, when they mewed at me. I got too many because I'd found old information, when the trial had a higher and wider range of folks it would accept.  However, some dropped out until we had the maximum members. Fortunately, some of the others gave the instructions, and we ran trial, getting the new badge my character was missing. Folks seemed happy with it, praising my leadership when others did more than I did. Kitten and Dragons stayed when the trial broke up, so I offered them a couple of options. Dragons chose my teen supergroup's member's villain story arcs, since they'd never done them. We finished the one I'd started with Pierogies joining us. Then we did the entire second one. Dragons dropped out somewhere along the way because they were too tired. Also, Dennis joined us somewhere int eh second story arc. We finished the second story arc just in time for dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World, then quickly wrote up daily update. Next, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went back onto my computer. I talked with Dr. Faustus on Discord, the chat server, about wheat we'd done on my slightly higher teen supergroup member. They suggested doing another villain arc which is the same level, and particularly good. I just hope I have time to finish that and start gaining levels before the next mission, but Dr. Faustus seems to think that's doable. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, then checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Phonso, but he was doing something that sounded like solo work. So, I got out my character that Kitten designed and started to hunt on her. Then Michiel said hi, and joined me. I suggested a mission, since hunting by myself is easy. We did two missions in the same story arc before they left for bed, as well as chatting on the side. Just after they left, Dragons said hi. We got together and did three missions from a different contact with me on the same character. Then we said goodnight. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that, I began notes in this, though I got distracted trying to figure out Kofi and Patreon. I know they are two sites that are supposed to help creative types earn money, but I didn't figure out how before I realized how late it was. I quickly finished notes in this. Then I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
