Daily Update, March 7, 2026

 The night before Saturday, I got to bed a little after 2 am. I think I'm getting better at this. I was tired through the day, but that might have been my blood sugar being unstable, especially since it hit a few times, but was okay in between. {Smile}

I had warned my main nurse that I'd like to fix myself breakfast the night before. He was surprised but encouraged me after thinking about it. It was just fixing myself a scrambled egg in the microwave, without using any extra ingredients to pad a pared down meal. I realized I'm out of practice, but got it done fine, just a little slower than I remember. When he saw I actually could fix that egg, my main nurse became more encouraging of me becoming more independent, which was wonderful. {Smile}

Through the morning and into lunch, I revised my story for my creative writing class. I read the whole thing out loud because somehow that makes some mistakes more obvious. That was a long read for one sitting. When I was done, I couldn't tackle my daily update like hoped to. My brain had done enough thinking for a while. However, I got the editing done. {Smile}

After breakfast, I browsed a few articles and comics on my computer before I started editing my story. I had lunch while I was editing. After the editing, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked a few of my characters. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I was tired of the new version of my lower-level villain supergroup member. I tried playing by myself on a character I haven't played as much recently, but I struggled with her missions until I switched to a different character who I also haven't played much recently. She's both a sturdier character and has hunts and badges to collect that are easier to do by myself than the missions the other has. I also chatted a bit with Seb, the new member of the villain supergroup, and with my main nurse in real life until dinner. I read Forward Day by Day during dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing up Friday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I checked a few of my characters. I also started talking with Nox on Discord. I checked on my friends again, and messaged Dr. Faustus on Discord. They messaged me that they'd be over soon, so I just talked with Seb while I waited. H pointed out that I mostly roleplay with his character named Marius, so I can see that name, too. Dr. Faustus came on, and we teamed up with me on the new version of Olga, the lower-level villain supergroup member, and finished a story arc and a little more from a contact, almost finishing the contact entirely. After that, Dr. Faustus left. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, and started writing a bit of this. Then I said hi to Seb, who invited me to bring Olga to join Marius in public roleplaying. I joined him, and met some other folks, including a couple of friends, but their characters didn't know Olga. Eventually, I left to make notes in this, with a break to read a comic. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
