Daily Update, February 19, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to be closer to 2:30 am than 2 am, but I did get to bed before 2:30 am, so at least it's not worse. {Smile}

Starting during breakfast, I had my counselling by video. The session went well, I thought. She's helping me deal with feeling pushed by assorted circumstances and such. Goodness knows I need the help. I'm not finding it easy to refuse to please some people, even when I know I lack the resources to comply with their demands. I need her support to work my way through this. {smile}

At lunch time, I couldn't find a link to connect to my nutritionist for our appointment. I texted her about this, then waited. A while later, she called, asking if I was starting our video appointment soon. I checked email, and it had since arrived. I need to watch that more carefully. The appointment itself is going well. I seem to be on track with both meals and exercise. The trick is maintaining things. {Smile}

A short while later, I started a fairly long talk with the head of the nursing company. It's our first real talk about renegotiating our contract. That's not a comfortable conversation, but it's been needed long enough, it's a relief to get it started. {smile}

After my video counselling, I read articles and comics and watched videos until lunch. I read much of another comic between asking what was up and getting the phone call letting me know to go into my appointment with my nutritionist. Then I browsed the web some more before the talk with the head of the nursing company. After my talk with her, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I missed saying hi to Dennis. I did say hi to Kitten, but they didn't respond. So, I worked on getting badges and the character kitten designed by myself until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked several options for a solo version of my higher-level villain supergroup member.  Then I began writing this up. I took a break to clean up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went back to my computer.  I checked the Discord group my Villain supergroup set up and found others discussing characters I could make that would help the group too. They really like a type that my higher-level character doesn't feel interested in, but I realized that my lower-level character was fine with that. So, I made a version of her and started the tutorial. Dr. Faustus joined me, and we finished the tutorial together.  Then we started collecting badges until Phonso invited us to a taskforce. He only found one more to do it with, so he asked if we wanted to run it with four.  We said "fine," so he put out a last call, and got one more. We ran it with five. Then the team broke up and said goodnight.  Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on both characters I ran after dinner. Then I did a little hunting and costume work on my newest character. Next, I finished my notes in this, with a pause to read comics. I ended my evening by reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
