Daily Update, October 18, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to be several minutes after 2 am. I still got up at 8:30 am since we had a 9 am service. I began using a sleep mask, which does seem to help me sleep more deeply and easily, but I had to put it up for my prayers; I had trouble finishing them with it down.  I ended up taking a nap in the afternoon, which offset the little sleep, and the mask helped me sleep better then, too, I hope. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to my church, the Church of the Holy Apostles. I played a little Cross Stitch World on the way down. I got there during the sermon, and sat with Laurie, who's also in the Daughters of the King. I enjoyed the service. After the service, I talked briefly to my cousin Babs, but then I went to a room in the parish hall where a few of the Daughters of the King met. It was not a full meeting because too many were missing, but we talked and shared fellowship with each other. Afterwards, my main nurse took me home. We talked on the way back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. After we got back, I got onto my computer. I watched several videos, partly doing some light research into Christian and Episcopal orders. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update and talked with friends on Discord or answered them if they weren't around to reply. I also read a few web comics. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and did a hunt on Peony Boffin. I got ready to do a regular mission, but I realized I'd dosed off too many times during the hunt. So, I went and took a nap. After that, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also checked Peony Boffin's storage, but she didn't need any work on it. I broke to eat dinner with my main nurse and the TV. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I watched videos and answered friends on Discord. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Tiet and Mysty. I joined them in a farm where I visited with them and the others in it until Dr. Faustus invited me to work on badges with them. I did two missions with them, getting two badges on Pinlotta, my seventh best badge collector. After that, I switched to melee-ranged Olga. We finished two contacts who I' started earlier. The first was almost done, the second had more content. After we finished the second, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee ranged Olga. Then I checked and played Cross Stitch World and read web comics. Next, I wrote in and made notes in this, with a break to close windows on my computer after checking out articles, and another break to check a couple of things in City of Heroes: Homecoming. 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, Ocotber 17, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. At least it wasn't worse, but I'll keep trying to be better. {Smile}

I went to where I've collected the books to sell and tried to estimate how much they're worth. I later looked up what used bookstores pay, and I greatly overestimated that. However, at the same time I found out that Hilo BookBuyers encourages folks with a lot to call ahead about pricing, so I think I will. I still hope to get enough for them to be worth selling. I also talked with my main nurse about my plans to empty part or all of the house over time. He seemed happy with my ideas. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. After going over my books, some of my most crowded books into the space cleared by setting aside books to sell. Near the end, I shifted to moving over the books I'm most sure I want to keep. I know that over time I'll have to let go of books I didn't move to the table in this first pass, but it is only a first pass. Next, I settled at my computer. I talked with Dennis on Discord. I also read articles and web comics over lunch and well into the afternoon. After that, I wrote up Friday's daily update while talking with friends on Discord. I had dinner with my main nurse, the TV and _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read web comics before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Mysty and Tiet, the friend from Paragon Chat who I recently reconnected with. They were teaming, since they know each other well from Paragon Chat, where we all met. I teamed up with them on Peony Boffin, one of my Hobbits. I helped with a badge Tiet needed. Then we ran a mission for a badge; I ran it on a character who needed the badge. Dr. Faustus said hi during the mission. They were working on a different badge. When we got done with our mission, I asked Dr. Faustus if we could join them when we got done. We did and got the badges. I got it on three characters who didn't have it. the last two being Eirlys Lloyds and Ignacia Souza. Next, we ran some missions. I stayed on Ignacia Souza. We also visited a lot. Looks like we're a congenial group. After a while, Dr. Faustus and Mysty said goodnight. Tiet and I ran one more mission before saying goodnight as well. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, crafting, and weekend auction house on Ignacia. After that, I checked and played Cross Stitch World. I checked Peony, but she didn't need auction house, storage or anything. So, I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I wrote in this, pausing to research book prices and house prices online. Next, I made 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}

Daily Update, October 16, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal, if not by much I took more time to settle down, which kind of messes it up, but I'll keep trying harder. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. We started late, but I danced most of the time from when we started to get going. We had less review, so I concentrated on remembering what we'd been shown in previous classes. Review came when I asked for help with moves that I didn't fully remember. I danced a little with the instructor, and some with his assistant, but mostly with two students, a gal I did the most dancing with, and a guy I partnered at the end. After class, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

My financial adviser didn't phone, but she did email an apology and a promise to call early Monday. I emailed back some information I didn't want to go over the phone in a public setting, in case she caught me at dance class. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my housekeeper came. The house is better for her attentions. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV before I went to class. After I got back, I went onto my computer. I watched videos over lunch and into the afternoon. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and straight into the villain supergroup meeting on melee-ranged Olga. Patience, Seb's Marius and a long-time member who hasn't been around recently were there, roleplaying. I quickly checked on my friends who play the game, then joined in on the roleplaying. Our leader joined us, then Dr. Faustus. both joined the roleplaying. When we were ready, we trick-or-treated in a villain zone. Next, we wanted to do a Halloween themed mission that requires exactly four on the team, neither more nor less. We started to break into two teams, expecting to recruit a couple more folks. However, Dr. Faustus and the returnee left instead, after some debate between them and the leader about who should leave. We ran the four-person mission, and I got the last badge it could give on melee-ranged Olga. She already had the other three from a previous year. Afterwards, we split up. I said goodbye to most, then talked with Patience at length while soloing a mission I had on melee-ranged Olga. The talk ran down shortly before the mission did. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga, including the beginning of the weekend auction house. Next came dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I went into City of heroes: Homecoming and did the beginning of the weekend auction house on Aneira Lloyds. Then I checked Discord. Dennis mentioned making suggestions for a story fragment I shared, including changing a character's name because it could be a nickname for someone he knows. This led to a really long name search, since his suggestion was an elision of Mom's name, just like the name I'd picked. I took a long time finding a name that fit what I wanted but eventually did so, hopefully. I found Nox had answered, then said goodnight on Discord. I answered for them to find in the morning. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did two hunts on Peony, gaining a level. She has one more level to gain before I pause to catch more content. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Peony, including beginning of the weekend auction house. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World and started planning Peony's next few levels. Then I wrote in this, doing more planning before I made 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}

Daily Update, October 15, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am again. I really need to try harder, somehow. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I had my online counselling session. I thought it went pretty well. I got some new ideas on how to proceed, so I feel more confident. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me out. Our first stop was Clinical Laboratories of Hawai'i, where I got some medical tests done or an appointment with my primary care physician next week. Then we went to Bank of Hawai'i. The man at the front desk looked over the check that First Hawaiian refused and directed me to a clerk who could help me. They redeposited the check into Dad's account, and then closed the account, giving me another check for the entire amount. While I was there, my financial advisor's secretary called to apologize for my financial adviser not getting back to me. We arranged that my adviser would call me the next day. After Bank of Hawai'i, my main nurse dropped me off at First Hawaiian Bank and went to shop for the house. I deposited the check, then reading _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett in the sitting room. When he was done with the errand, my main nurse picked me up and dropped me at the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library while he did two more errands, including dropping stuff off at my parents' lawyer's office. At the library, I dropped off books I was done with. Then I went to the restroom and noticed I was passing their big book sale. I checked out their "better books" section first and found two that I bought. Next, I checked out the normal books but didn't spot anything to get. I'd started to look at the library's manga, but my main nurse came back before I found anything and took me home. {Smile}

After counselling, I sorted books until lunch. I watched videos over lunch. Then came our trip out. After we got back, I went onto my computer. I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with breaks for video watching and web comic reading. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I barely had time to check on my friends who play the game before dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I watched some videos before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I got Peony Boffin, and ran a timed mission. After that, I picked up the hunt that stops a level earlier than anything else she can get. Pierogies said hi. He helped me do the hunt, then suggested we watch the first episode of the TV series _A Discovery of Witches_. I enjoyed it. Afterwards, we talked a bit about it, and life in general. We said goodnight, and I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Peony. Next, I wrote in this. I checked Cross Stitch World and read a few web comics before I made 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}

Daily update, October 14, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I finally got back to making my first bedtime goal! {GRIN}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dance class. When I go there, two couples were already dancing, probably some kind of warmup, and definitely practice. Soon class started, with fox trot for the first hour and bachata for the second hour. They went well. I even managed a double turn at the end without getting dizzy. That is not guaranteed, so doing it is special. After class, my main nurse took me back home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down, and the way back. it was too dark both ways to even think of reading a book. {Smile}

After breakfast, I sorted books, clearing out mom's room a bit more. Though every time I've cleared Mom's room so far, the nurses use the empty space to store general supplies and a little of their own stuff. It's hard to tell them not to when space is at a premium, especially early in the clearing project. I figure let them use it for now; I can start clearing properly when I'm closer to actually using the space. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos over lunch and into the afternoon, then switched to reading web comics. Next, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming quite late but got together with Dennis and Pierogis for one quick mission before dinner. I ate with my main nurse and the TV. {Smile}

After dinner, I went to my class. When I got home, I went onto my computer. I watched videos and eventually went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play a game and ran Peony through a story arc. Then I ran her through a single mission that failed when the head villain who must not escape ran past her and down the elevator. Not every mission can fail, but that could. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony. I checked her contacts, confirming she's ready to go up a few levels, and turned on experience. After that, I checked on my friends who play the game. I checked and played Cross Stitch World before I wrote in this. Then I made notes in this, interspersed with watching videos. 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, October 13, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed only a minute after 2 am. I'm getting better, but I'd really feel I made my first bedtime goal if it was before 2am, or at least at it. {Smile}

Late in the morning, my substitute relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing Class. I was the first student there; the teacher was settling in. I gave her a copy of the barest beginning of a story, and tried to give her the proposals, which I thought were just for her. However, she said keep them to share with my fellow students. The lecture went well. For the sharing part, I got one proposal read. No one really responded to it; we just went on to another student. When I tried to get the story read, no one had time. This was frustrating when that was what I needed the most help with. The teacher said to send it by email to get a response during the week. I did so in the evening. My substitute relief nurse took me home after I texted her because I didn't spot her car. I was looking at the wrong part of the parking lot. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my substitute relief nurse, the TV and Forward Day by Day. I printed out five copies of the start of a story before I went to class. After I got home, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched videos. Then I went into City of heroes: Homecoming, and straight to the teen supergroup base on Aneira less early than usual. I found Jawsome there, and we roleplayed. I was slow at first, while checked on my friends who play the game. Nyxy's Pella joined Jawsome and me. So did Jenny's player, Ulty, and Veronica. We all roleplayed. Then we trick-or-treated, punctuated by special Halloween missions, getting a bunch of badges between the two activities. When we were done, we broke up quickly. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira. Next, I did a little solo trick-or-treat until I broke for dinner with my substitute relief nurse, the TV, and _How to Write Light Novels and Webnovels_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I watched videos and read web comics. Then I finished Monday's daily update. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Aneira. I paused to email my story to my creative writing teacher. Next, I got Peony Boffin, one of my Hobbits, and set up a story arc, running through more talking than most story arcs start with. I paused to check her contacts and discovered that she's quite close to going up in level. After that, I did a story arc-tutorial that's almost all talks and non-combat, except for one combat mission in the middle. Then I hunted until it was time to wind down. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony, and did some crafting on Aneira when Peony had more of something Aneira can use than Peony can keep. They are supergroup mates, so they have a connection. I checked and played Cross Stitch World. Next, I wrote and made 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}

Daily Update, October 12, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. It was earlier than the night before, but not by as much as I hoped. I'll just keep trying to get it earlier. {Smile}

Just before breakfast I reconnected with my substitute relief nurse. She's here while my regular relief nurse is busy. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my Absolute Beginner's Line Dance Class. It went well. They're getting ready for a demonstration in a couple of weeks. I'm considering whether to go. They promise we can join in even if we don't sign up ahead of time. {Smile}

After class, my substitute relief nurse took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. I picked out a vanilla cream popsicle for her, and a lilikoi cream popsicle for me, since they didn't have the haupia she asked for, nor any other coconut that I could spot. I made sure the clerk cut them so we could use the bag to catch the drips. We ate them on the way to Sack 'n Save, a Hawai'i grocery store. I went in and walked with her while she picked up an ingredient that she was short of. Then we went home. When I wasn't eating my popsicle or talking with my substitute relief nurse, I played Cross Stitch World on the down and the way back. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my substitute relief nurse called me over, leading me to the playroom, where we usually eat. She said her friend said she knew me. It was a friend from church, with her two boys. She's another woman auntie Barbara has taken under her wing. Her sons are much bigger than when I first met them. We enjoyed seeing each other. It's been too long. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my substitute relief nurse and the TV. After we got home from my class, I had lunch with my substitute relief nurse and the TV. Then I went onto my computer. I read articles and web comics, and watched videos through most of the afternoon. Silvia's visit happened shortly before I settled down to finish Sunday's daily update. I started to share it, and found the last paragraph was far too long. I edited it down and shared the final version in the quick places, leaving one slow place for after dinner. Next, I ate dinner with my substitute relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished sharing Sunday's daily update. Then I started to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming, even saying so on Discord. However, I got distracted. I watched videos and read web comics instead until Kitten complained that I wasn't in Homecoming as promised. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Kitten and we teamed up. We experimented with a few badges they had trouble with earlier. We found a better way to get it, but we can't do it alone. We need more folks. After that, we talked as I debated who to play. I got Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, and tried a mission. However, Kitten was fading and finished fading before I finished the mission. So, I finished the mission by myself. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World and read web comics. After that, I wrote in this. I did a little research on Amazon before making notes in this. I closed windows on my computer near the end. 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, October 11, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed shortly before 2:15 am. I just didn't stay on track getting ready for bed.  I still got up at 8:30 am because church started at 9am. It was our first Sunday with our new priest. I can't get there on time when it does, but I can get up and get there a little earlier.  {Smile}

After breakfast, main nurse took me to church. I got there during the sermon and sat just in front of a couple I know. I enjoyed the service. After the service, I had lunch on the lanai. I sat with several friends, since both Babs and Auntie Barbara weren't there. I also met our new priest, and we talked a bit a couple of times. My main nurse took me home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World on part of the way down and part of the way back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. After we got back, I got onto my computer. I watched many videos, then took a short nap. I was awake again after half an hour, so I got up and went back to my computer. I watched a few more videos and wrote up Saturday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Kitten and said hi. Kitten wanted to get easy badges, so I got Anka, my best badge collector, because if Kitten doesn't have it on their favorite character, Anka doesn't have it, either, though there are some badges Anka is missing that Kitten has. We got five, including one for collecting three of the others. This cut into dinner a bit, but when I was done, I ate with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. I went onto my computer. I read web comics and chatted with Nox on Discord. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I saw both Jag and Austin, not teamed up. We talked. They were working on new villains. I teamed up with Jag on a low-level, solo Hezabell. Her moderately high-level version leads a gang. Jag and I did a mission before Austin joined us. We did a mission or two more before Jag left. Austin and I did another mission before Austin left, too. Dr. Faustus said hi somewhere in there, but by the time the others left, I'd forgotten. I got Yenna Grajewo, and did a long mission. I almost started a story arc but checked on my friends who play the game first. I noticed Dr. Faustus was on and said hi. They said they'd said hi an hour and a half ago. I apologized for forgetting to respond and asked about teaming up. However, I got distracted trying to fix a setting on Yenna. I finally did with the help of the Help Channel and Dr. Faustus. Then I got melee ranged Olga and teamed up with Dr. Faustus. We rushed through three or four missions in half an hour, finishing a story arc of hers. We said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee-ranged Olga. I tried to update Anka's badge list, but my internet cut out early in the process. I tried to get my modem working, but I couldn't. I checked Cross Stitch World, confirming that my phone worked. I went into Blogger, where I write these updates. I wrote a little of this on my phone and made a bunch of notes on my phone, too. Next, I noticed that my internet had come back. I finished updating Anka's badge record. I checked this, writing a little more and adding more notes. I broke to confirm that I'd updated Anka's badge record correctly a couple of times. 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, October 10, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed right at 2am. However, I had trouble settling until I remade my bed. I slept better after that, but I woke up groggy. It wasn't better after breakfast, so I napped through much of the morning. Then I did feel much better. {Smile}

The nap set me back enough, I didn't go out. The only phone call was related to some research I've been doing. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day, followed by my nap. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read web comics over lunch, which was soon, and well into the afternoon. Somewhere in there I got that phone call related to some research I'm doing. I also began writing up Friday's daily update. Next, I got drawn into a web comic. I finally stopped, going straight into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house on a couple of characters before I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I worked on badges on Yenna Grajewo and checked on my friends who play the game again before dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, and _How to Write Light Novels and Webnovels_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and finished writing up Friday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house on Yenna Grajewo. I also checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Kitten. I switched to Anka, my best badge collector. We got together and tried to work on badges. During this, Dr. Faustus said hi. I worked with Kitten on badges a little more, until they said they were too tired and left. Next, I talked with Dr. Faustus and joined him on Yenna Grajewo. We did two story arcs together, the first and second in a series. The second was one Dr. Faustus wanted to work on themselves, but we did the first to catch me up. So, we both progressed in content we wanted to do. After that, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Yenna. Then I ran a mission on her. I checked her contact and discovered that they give infinite missions, even though it looked yesterday like they didn't. I set her to get experience again, and did another mission or two, gaining a level. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Yenna again. Next, I started writing in this. I paused to check and play Cross Stitch World before I made notes in this, pausing to close windows on my computer and check friends, then characters on City of Heroes: Homecoming. I ended far too late, but did still end my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 9, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal again. I hope I'm beginning to get the hang of this, but time will tell. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. I got there slightly early and talked with the teacher's assistant and a student I know who hadn't come last week. I'm glad he's back. I like him as both a friend and a dance partner. Dance went well. I'm learning more steps and getting the ones I learned last week down better. They're still all beginner steps, but I'm already working on the first half of the list when we've just had two sessions. I danced with the teacher's assistant, two gals who are willing to sort of lead, and the guy I talked to before class. After class, my main nurse came and took me back home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. Then I went to my class. After we got back, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched videos through lunch. Next, I tried to call my financial adviser and left a message on their answering machine. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I fooled around with melee-ranged Olga for a bit and talked with Jenny's Player. I took melee-ranged Olga to villain supergroup meeting. Patience, Seb's Komanos, and our leader were already there. Dr. Faustus, Anya, and our most regular new member joined us. We ran a strike force that is giving particularly good rewards this week. After the strike force, the group quickly broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee ranged Olga until I broke to eat dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read web comics, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Realizing that Radio was on, which is very rare indeed, I quickly said hi and found out he was teaming with a friend I see even more rarely. We teamed up and I quickly established connections with the other friend. I joined them in a mission, but it was Radio's and he had to leave when it got late for him, even though we were not done. My other friend joined a trial. I joined the team too. We were waiting for the last person to join when I asked if I could make a drink run. The leader said yes. I took longer than I expected but was still surprised when I discovered I was not on a team when I got back. They'd left without me. My friend was disappointed, and the leader apologized. I didn't catch their return, so my friend started trick-or-treating without me. I joined him for a giant monster hunt. We both stayed for a second giant monster hunt. Then we said goodnight. I switched to Yenna Grajewo, a moderately low-level character I made in honor of a friend who died some years ago. I discovered she was ready to gain level. I tried a contact I haven't done much with because I'd been told she had timed missions, and I don't like those. Only her first mission is timed; I thought they all were. I got Yenna a level and turned off experience after confirming that this contact runs out of missions. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Yenna. Next, I wrote a little in this. I copied my Creative Writing class's proposal form for stories into my computer. I filled separate copies out for two stories I want to work on and copied a blank form and both filled out ones to the cloud. Then I wrote some more in this and made notes in this, too. I paused to research and to close windows on my computer. I checked Cross Stitch World. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
