Daily Update, December 29, 2025

On Monday, in the morning, I took out a story I've taken short revisions of to my creative writing class a few times. I did a lot of formatting and a little editing. Then I wrote then wrote several lines to complete the scene I'd been working on last. That should complete a new introduction to the work. I hope the new beginning is a good rough draft that introduces the characters reasonably well. I am looking for one or more readers willing to take a look and tell me their opinion(s). {Smile}

Then in the afternoon, my relief nurse and I went out. First, we stopped by the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens to get popsicles. I chose peppermint. I also finished off her... they call it haupia, but there's too much grated coconut for haupia. haupia is specifically made of coconut milk. This is just coconut. Anyway, after that we did a few errands. I rested in the car, especially during the longest errand. After the errands we went home. {Smile}

After breakfast, I went onto my computer and watched a few videos on the web before I started working on the story. Working on that took me right through lunch. After that, I read some comics on the web before our trip out. After the trip, I watched videos and read articles on the web before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game.  Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. Next, I had enough time to do a few hunts on my own before I had dinner with my relief nurse. {Smile}

After dinner, I began writing up Sunday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked to Dennis, who was preparing for an old, rarely run strike force. He tried to get me into it, but it filled on us twice. So, I finished writing up Sunday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Dennis, who was still in the strike force. I also talked with Phonso, who was working on a seasonal badge. I've been mostly neglecting that badge this season, so I worked on it too, after confirming we weren't competing with each other. I kept at it until Kitten said mew. Next, I switched to the character they made. I tried to rejuvenate some old missions while we got together and teamed up. We did a magic themed mission before Kitten got tired. I discovered that contact was done, so I started the next contact, including a short hunt. After that, I worked on a bunch of talks that rejuvenating a mission had given me, followed by a short hunt to actually reach the mission that had been old. Then I started to work on the seasonal badge. I realized I could get three newer seasonal badges and maybe make it easier to do to the other, but after getting those three, I started notes in this. I broke for Cross Stitch World, watching videos on the web, and only a brief return to City of Heroes: Homecoming before I finished notes in this. then I ended the evening with saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
