Daily Update, May 21, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a little after 2am. However, I accidentally made up for it by sleeping on my left side, with my better ear against the pillow, so I didn't notice the alarm going off until it had been going for the better part of ten minutes. Not ideal, but... at least I wasn't short of sleep. {rueful smile}

At breakfast, I tried to sign in for my counselling appointment. I tried for 3/4ths of an hour, consulting with my counsellor by phone much of the time. She wants to try again tomorrow. It will be tight, but I'll try. I was supposed to call support today, but that will have to be tomorrow, after class... {sigh} My counsellor thinks it might be that my computer is too old for the newly upgraded system. I'm tempted to try my phone and/or my laptop... I hope I don't have to get a new computer, but it could be getting to be time. {smile}

After counselling, I browsed videos for a bit. Then I called Safeway and confirmed that a medicine I need by Sunday night was ready for pickup. I went back to browsing videos and reading comics, continuing right through lunch and afterwards. Next, I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with a break to read another web comic. I also talked on Discord with Kitten and Dennis before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Ulty and Seb. I also worked on badges on Emmy, my sixth best badge collector until dinner. I read Forward Day by Day over dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed videos. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went back to my computer. I answered Nox on Discord, the chat server. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Ulty and Seb. I also finished the badges I'd started working on earlier on Emmy. I followed that with work on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I worked up a badge list for Emmy. Next, I broke to watch a few videos. Back in City of Heroes: Homecoming, I started to work on badges on Emmy until Seb said hi. He invited me to do a few missions, so we teamed up and I ran them with him. After that, we said goodnight. I wrote in this. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage before I made notes in this. I paused to check my second-best badge collector for badges to work on, but the ones I found were more complicated than I realized. So, I just finished 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}
