Daily Update, December 31, 2025

Happy New Year! It is the new year, and most do celebrate that holiday, whatever other holidays the celebrate. however, if you don't really celebrate it -- like one friend who adamantly doesn't celebrate any holidays -- I hope you have a nice day. {SMILE}

On Wednesday I didn't actually write anything beyond Tuesday's daily update. However, I read through the story so far, to start planning what else to write. What's there could be a complete story, but I do think there are at least a few additions I could make which wouldn't just lengthen it but add substance. It's been feeling stuck, but I'm hoping that will change, especially when I learn how well the parts that I finally finished writing work.  {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles and comics through the morning. Then I read my own story through lunch while reading my own story. After lunch, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, then started hunting for seasonal badges. I didn't get far before that part of the event suddenly stopped. I thought I had a few more days, but apparently not for that part. I'll just have to wait until next time we have this event. While I was figuring out what to do next, Kitten said hi. We talked and teamed up. Kitten helped my third best badger get a couple of badges while working on a long-term project of their own. Pierogies said hi before got further. He joined us, and they helped me finish a story arc on my best badger, getting a badge for it. Then we went to work on the passive badge while I ate dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. Pierogies had left. I believe from the way he wished me goodnight before dinner that he left for bed not long after that. I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I tried to get Kitten to respond. They weren't in the best place for me to just leave them, so I waited at first. Then I realized my character could teleport them to safety, so I did. I felt better about starting to work on other characters after that. A while later, Kitten said hi. We teamed up. After a couple of false starts, they helped me do a villain story arc that got a badge on my best badge collector. Divi started talking to me partway through the story arc. They asked me when I was done. When I told them we were, they invited us to a strike force, seeming particularly in Kitten coming. Well, they are an uncommonly good player, after all. We joined the strike force and ran it. Then it was late enough, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage to begin to wind down. Next, I made notes in this. I took a couple of short breaks to answer Nox on Discord, and more to check and update badge records. I also watched a short video before I finished this. Lastly, I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
