Daily Update, June 8, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed right at 2 am; so close, I'm not sure if it was slightly over, or slightly under. That's barely missing my first goal of distinctly earlier than 2 am, but it still meant more time in bed than the night before, due to Sunday's earlier time for getting up. {Smile}

A while after lunch, my relief nurse and I went to Walmart. We walked around a bit. Then I stopped to look at the books. My relief nurse looked at the DVDs, being much more of a TV watcher than a reader, though he's greatly enjoying a large print New Testament I found. When he was done with the DVDs, he went to get a few more things while I continued to look at the books. On the way back home, we talked about not finding anything. We realized it was the same situation for me with books and for him with DVDs. Either we already had it, or we already knew we weren't interested in it. On both the way down and the way back, I chatted with my relief nurse and played Cross Stitch World. I also read a little on the way back, having brought _Brigands & Breadknives_, by Travis Baldree. After we got home, I got some books out, offering to loan them to my relief nurse. He found a large print New Testament that he really loves. He normally doesn't love books, but he does this one. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day and watched my relief nurse's TV show. After breakfast, I browsed on the web, reading comics, watching videos, and looking into games. The last is due to vague dissatisfaction with the rut I'm in on City of heroes: Homecoming. Then I had lunch with my relief nurse and his TV show. I also read _Brigands & Breadknives_, by Travis Baldree. Next came our trip to Walmart followed by the book choosing session. After that, I went back to my computer for comic reading and video watching. I wrote up the rest of Sunday's daily update before attempting to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming, but ended up chatting with Nox, Kitten and Dennis on Discord until I broke to have dinner with my relief nurse, talking about the bible and especially about the meal, since he was trying a new dish on me. {Smile}

After dinner, I watched one video and chatted with Nox on Discord, the chat server, before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I teamed up with Dennis with me on Aiofe, a nature mage who's nearing but not ready to start the end game. We did a mission of mine from a story arc, then one of his missions from something entirely different Next, we did a mission of mine that's unrelated to either of the missions we did before, despite my protests that I really don't like breaking up stories that way. It makes it hard for me to follow the stories. We settled into less mixing after I got that off my chest. Then Seb joined us. So did the gal who's new to both of my supergroups. At the next break between missions, Dennis left. We did a couple more missions. Then the new gal left, since it was late for her. Seb and I did a few more missions before we said goodnight. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, crafting on Aiofe, followed by working on upgrading her skills. After that I wrote in this, pausing to check Cross Stitch World before I switched to making notes in this. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
