Daily Update, September 13, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed several minutes before 2am. However, because it was Sunday with a 10 am service, I got up at 8:45 am, not 9 am. So, I did meet my first bedtime goal by a margin, but it didn't mean a full seven hours of sleep and sleep ready. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. I read _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson on the way down. I arrived during the announcements. I sat with Peg, and Auntie Barbara joined us when she was done teaching Sunday school. It was a nice service. Afterwards, I sat with my cousin Babs and Auntie Barbara for lunch. I enjoyed visiting with both. after lunch, my main nurse took me back home. I read more in _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson on the way home. {Smile}

When I got home, I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles and web comics. I tried to call my cousin, Kim, but didn't get her. I think I might remember that she warned me she'd be unavailable for a while; I'm not quite sure how long. Anyway, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I discovered that Kitten and Pierogies were busy in the later short, large-group event. So, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on a few characters while I waited. Soon Kitten. Pierogis and I teamed up. We did a few missions before Pierogies had to leave and I got called to dinner. I ate with the TV and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read some webcomics before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I began writing up Saturday's daily update up. Then I found Kitten and Pierogies hoping to team up. I left the update for later and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming to join them, settling on Topaz Proudfoot and Lynn Beecher, both moderately low-level characters working on at least one of the badges Pierogies was working on. They got one and made good progress on the second before Pierogies left. Kitten and I got the other for both of my characters. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, and they got me to join the taskforce they'd just joined before I found out they didn't have room for Kitten. I still ran it, then tried to team up with Dr Faustus and Kitten. Next, I did the mission Lynn Beecher still needed for a badge that improves the character. After that, Dr. Faustus searched for a badge mission, taking longer than anyone expected, including them. We ran a couple of missions, getting a badge my new version of Uncle Vincent needed on the way to a badge both he and Octavia Ballad need We still need to work on the badge they both need. Dr. Faustus plans to continue another night. After we said goodnight, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on a few characters. I also checked Cross Stitch World. I wrote in this, and I wrote some in Saturday's daily update when I discovered I hadn't finished. However, I switched to making notes in this to prepare for writing it properly the next day. I had to finish both the next day. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 12, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. It's not much. Occasionally, it isn't much of a problem. It's been more nights than not for long enough, it's a problem but thankfully not the day after the Friday nap. I didn't need another nap yet. {Smile}

I didn't go out, and the only phone call went to voice mail. It was late enough in Georgia, USA, I figured I need to try earlier another day. {smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read web comics, then began writing Friday's daily update. I also tried revising "Snow in Hawai'i," but made no real progress. So, I browsed the internet, then went back to writing up Friday's daily update. I tried revising "Snow in Hawai'i" again and got the first scene done. Then I tried to call my cousin Kim but got her answering machine. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on Bellae Magnolia's auction house and checked on my friends who play the game. I teamed up with Kitten. We did a mission on Aneira I've been waiting for friendly help with. Then we joined the later short, large-group event. I was on Eirlys Lloyds, Aneira's sister. I also talked with Jenny's player, who was also running the later short, large-group event. I said hi to Pierogies as well. Afterwards, Kitten, Pierogies and I teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga to do two or three missions. I said goodnight when Pierogies had to leave, and Kitten left, too. I did a little storage on ranged Olga before eating dinner with main nurse, his TV, and _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson. I found something about writing stories about people doing tasks, which is apparently fairly popular in Asia, or at least Japan. I hope it will help me write the stories I want to create. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I researched task stories but found a fiction series called Tasks and a little about very short, inspirational stories for adults. Sometime I'll go through stuff on short stories about tasks, and see if it helps, or even gives me ideas for searching on this, but the book talks about long, involved stories about complicated tasks, not short, inspirational stuff. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee-ranged Olga. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis, and we talked a fair while before we teamed up and did a few missions with me teamed on Lani Kamalu, a moderately high-level character. We thought we had time for only one mission, but the first was very short, and we found we had more time. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Lani Kamalu. I also talked with Nox on Discord, the chat server. Kitten said hi in City of Heroes: Homecoming. We tried to do a couple of missions to get the last thing I needed for a stat improving badge on Lani Kamalu. Several missions later, we gave up because it was really too late. I quickly wrote a little in this as we said goodnight. Then I dashed off notes in this. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
