Daily Update, April 10, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed just barely after 2 am. Still working on earlier, but I'm happier it's no later. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Rhumba class. I was happy to see both old and new faces, especially of folks I recognize from Wednesday night. I'm beginning to feel more like part of a community. We learned several basic and slightly less basic steps. I thought it was good progress for a first class. After class, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World part of the way down, and part of the way back. I also looked stuff up on my phone on the way down and chatted with my main nurse on the way back. {Smile}

Back home, I got on my computer. I browsed videos and read comics right through lunch. Then I wrote much of Thursday's daily update, with breaks to read comics. With one paragraph to go, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I went to the villain supergroup meeting early, to find Seb's Marius and our long-time regular already roleplaying. Seb and I had learned from Discord, the chat server, that our leader couldn't make it. We soon learned as well that Dr. Faustus had their computer back but needed to set up more than they could quickly to join the meeting. I talked with our newest member, and they joined us. The four of us did a couple of my missions from a contact. Then I checked my contacts. I realized I needed to unlock at least one more. So, I switched to individual missions for that. After one, the long-term regular left to watch the Artemis crew livestream. Marius thought about leaving, too, but I found one mission that his character should like. Sure enough, he stayed for it, as did our newest member. Then the meeting broke up. I finished writing my daily update, then checked on my friends who play on City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, until I broke to eat dinner while watching the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival with my main nurse. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day right after dinner. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten, but they were tired, so we just talked while I did a mission by myself on Seameownt, the character they designed. Then I did the auction house, storage and crafting that produced. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Seb, and switched characters to join him in cafe roleplaying. On the way to the cafe he was in, I ran into an old friend, who took me to the cafe. At first, I was mostly quiet. I read what others were saying but wasn't sure what to add. Seb was quiet, too, and eventually left. Then someone asked a question that prompted some roleplaying from me. I got invited to the cafe owner's Discord group and settled in there, especially after the roleplaying disbanded because it was late for everyone, including me. After that, I wrote a little of this, then made notes in this. I took with breaks to check Cross Stitch World, browse videos, and read a short comic. I ended the evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
