Daily Update, February 4, 2026

On Wednesday, I slept as well as recent nights, so I napped after breakfast. On my way to my nap, I remembered to check my phone to see why it had been making text message sounds rather furiously entirely too close to dawn to be normal. I wondered at the time, but I was sleepy enough, I figured if folks were merely texting about it, not calling, it could wait until I was up. It turned out that Charlotte, the family friend I visit most Sundays, died suddenly in the night. Yes, she was bedridden, but it was still a shock. We'd just been telling each other that for a bedridden lady, she was pretty full of life. I texted the news to Auntie Barbara and my main nurse before taking my nap. {smile}

Before my nap, I also got a phone call from the nursing company owner. She told me what she'd done to try to arrange a phone conference with my financial advisor, and me. Then I got an email from my financial adviser in the afternoon asking my schedule next week so we could arrange that conference with the nursing company head. I responded by sending my schedule. I told the nursing company owner about the email later, by text. {smile}

Then after dinner, my main nurse took me to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. Except we didn't have our usual classes. Instead, it was their mid-term "free dance night," where we danced a wide variety of dances with several partners over the usual two hours. It was great fun. I got to visit with folks more and even try some dances I haven't learned yet.  Then my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World both down and back in the car. {Smile}

After my nap, I got onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos right over lunch and well into the afternoon. Then I wrote up my daily update, taking breaks to watch more videos, and also read comics. Then I had a text conversation with Kitten on Discord, the chat server, before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I took a couple of tries to settle, because watching videos can be distracting. I also found and responded to my financial adviser's email while I was settling. When I finally settled down into City of Heroes; Homecoming, I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten, who wanted to do that pair of high-level taskforces that is normally done together. I ran it on a character who needed a badge from one of the. I got that badge, and two badges I needed that badge for right before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went dancing. When I got back, I got onto my computer and watched a lot of videos. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game just in time to team up with Dennis and Kitten on my higher-level teen supergroup member for one mission before Dennis went to bed. We promised to continue soon. After Dennis left, I checked, and Dr. Faustus was on. I said hi, and invited them to join Kitten and me for the next mission in the story arc Dr, Faustus and I got back to the day before. Kitten left after a mission or two, too tired to continue. Dr. Faustus and I did a couple more missions after that. There's not much more in that story arc now.; We have a bunch of talk-missions with ambushes, and the grand finale mission. We should finish next time. Then I only have two more story arcs that need finishing. After we said goodnight, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. Next, I collected a few badges on the same character. Then I made notes in this with only one break before reading forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
