Daily Update, May 19, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed a bit after 1:45. So I'm back to getting to bed before 2am. I even had a little cushion, which was gratifying after missing a night. {Smile}

After breakfast, the nursing company secretary came over. She relieved my relief nurse so he could go to an appointment while she took me to my Creative Writing class. The class went well. My instructor taught about a book she was very impressed with. It was like a memoir, but I don't think it was typical. I think it was _The Five People You Meet in Heaven_. My fellow students helped me see I need to approach a story I've been writing differently. I'm still figuring out a better approach. After class, the secretary of the nursing company took me home, where my relief nurse took over again. He was done with his appointment. {Smile}

Before we left for class, my housekeeper and her husband came to finish cleaning the roof. While finishing up, we talked about a couple of other projects I also need. It's a relief to get that over with. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After I got back from class, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read comics before I wrote a little of Monday's daily update. However, I stopped that to go into City of Heroes Homecoming, going straight to the teen superhero group meeting on Aneira, my higher-level member. Nyxy's Pella was unresponsive, so I checked on my friends who play the game while I waited. Soon after I was done with that, others trickled in, starting with Puffin, the leader Ulty plays. Roleplaying began between her and Aneira. Later arrivals included a new character Jenny's Player has started, our most regular player on his member, the new gal on hers, and one more player's character. When everyone else had come in and joined the roleplaying, Nyxy's Pella woke up and joined in. That's when I got pulled away by my housekeeper. When I returned, we ran a taskforce. Next, we roleplayed. The longtime regular left. After a while, I took a break for dinner. During dinner, I watched TV, because dinner was tacos, which are too messy for reading. 

After dinner, I went back to my computer, City of Heroes: Homecoming, and the teen supergroup meeting, which was still roleplaying. Members gradually excused themselves until the new gal asked for some privacy with the "one more." It's good to see the new gall find roleplaying partners. I left and went to Discord just in time to say goodnight to Nox. Then I wrote up the rest of Monday's daily update. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira. I checked on my friends who play the game, noticed that Kittena nd Dennis might be teamed up on characters who can play the endgame. I picked an early endgame character named Eamonn and said hi to them. I talked Dennis into doing one of his missions before bed. After he left, Kitten and I did a few of Eamonn's missions before they left to sleep. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, and checked on my friends who play the game. Next Seb said hi, and we teamed up with Aneira and her coworker. We finished the last contact holding her to her current level. I found a contact who goes only one level more and works for their employer. We debated doing him and decided to start him. We did a few missions, then said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, crafting, and costuming, with break to check Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote a little of this before switching to making notes in this. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
