Daily Update, March 14, 2026

The night before Saturday I got to bed a while before 2:30 am, and didn't really settle until around 3am, despite trying to fall asleep quickly. So, a while after breakfast, when I'd gotten myself ready for the day, I took a nap. I felt better after that nap, though I still managed to catch myself nodding off after dinner, though that was the only time. Once I woke up, I stayed awake that time. {Smile}

We thought we might go out, but there were flash flood warnings, and recommendations to stay home. I even got an alert saying that on my phone. With me needing a morning nap, it was a slow day, anyway, so we didn't go out as my nurse thought we might, even before the alert. {smile}

I got a call from Auntie Barbara before dinner, checking on me. she had distinctly more trouble with the storm than my nurse and I did. However, she hoped to be at church, which we expected to start early. That is, until I found a Daughters of the King group text saying that the service was cancelled "out of an abundance of caution" because of the storm that's going through the state this weekend. I immediately texted Auntie Barbara to let her know, so she wouldn't drive into town for nothing. {smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. Then after my nap, I went onto my computer. I browsed articles, videos, and comics right over lunch. Then I wrote up some of Friday's daily update. I paused to do a personal chore my main nurse let me know about. Then I tried to get back into writing my daily update, but I ended up just giving up for the moment and going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to some of them. I also checked a few of my characters while chatting with Seb and Pierogies, and maybe Dr. Faustus. Pierogies and I got together and visited several bases, with me on my best badge collector. We got a badge, with two more possible if we keep at it. Kitten said hi, and joined us just as Pierogies said goodbye and left. I switched to the character Kitten designed. Auntie Barbra's phone call came during this. Kitten and I completed a story arc my character had enough before dinner for me to squeeze in a tiny bit of auction house and crafting before dinner, too. {Smile}

After dinner. I read comics. Then I finished writing Friday's daily update. During that, I caught myself napping but roused and stayed awake. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to some of them. We chatted while I finished auction house, crafting and storage for the character Kitten designed, and while I checked a few more characters. I also talked briefly with Nox on Discord. Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked, then teamed up with me on Peony Boffin, my lower-level teen supergroup member. We did a story arc she had, then said goodnight. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony, with a break to read a comic. Then I wrote a little, and made notes in this, with breaks to check Cross Stitch World, read a comic and watch a couple of videos. On my way to bed, I learned about church being cancelled, and told Auntie Barbara and my main nurse. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer.
