Daily Update, April 29, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a while after 2 am, because of waiting for the farm to finish. I got up around 9 am as usual but luckily didn't notice much trouble with being tired. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for our mid-session free dance night of my ballroom dancing class. Instead of the regular lessons, we had a kind of party. We didn't have food, but we had a variety of music to dance to all session, including two line dances, and a range of other dance types, not just the two we've been learning. I danced with several partners, including a woman, but mostly men. I dance with a few more than once, including the woman. After class, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

During Breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I checked a couple of articles and watched a few videos, but I mostly read comics through lunch. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Seb and Kitten. I teamed up with Kitten with me on Anka. Seb joined at the last moment. We ran a story arc that got Anka a badge. I also learned about a learned about a single mission that precedes it that ought to get her another badge. We broke for dinner early. {Smile}

After dinner, I went to my class. When I got back from my class, I got onto my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dr. Faustus said hi. So did Kitten. We were slow getting together, but I got Seameownt, the character Kitten designed, and we worked on a story arc. Kitten went quiet and faded out after a mission or two. Dr. Faustus and I did several missions before they left. I squeezed in writing a little of this, then began working on the in-game auction house and crafting on Seameownt. Then Dennis said hi, and we finished a different story arc on Seameownt. I made notes in this. taking a break to check and play Cross Stitch World. I also read one comic during a second break. I should not have done such long breaks, because I was late for bed, but I did end my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 28, 2026

The night before Tuesday, i got to be a few minutes before 2 am. I could have come earlier, since I'd gotten done with some stuff early, but I didn't realize I wanted to do that in time. Well, next time. {rueful smile}

When I got up, my regular relief nurse greeted me. We talked a lot over the day, catching up, since it had been months since we'd talked much or seen each other. He assures me he's better, though still healing. It's just wonderful to have him back, even if it's just one day a week. {Smile}

Before lunch, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. My teacher was happy that when I found myself stuck on what to do next, I "free wrote" about being stuck and some options I saw for going forward. I found the lecture quite interesting, and enjoyed both critiquing a partner's writing, and sharing my own. I feel fairly confident about how to proceed with the story I've been working on. The story I want to start working on as well isn't as ready for me, but maybe another week of free writing will help. After class, my regular relief nurse took me back home. On the way down to class and also on the way back, I talked with my regular relief nurse more than I played Cross Stitch World, but I did do both, and both ways. {Smile}

After I got home, I talked with my regular relief nurse some more before I got onto my computer. I watched a couple of short videos and read a few short comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and got Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member. I Seemed to be the first to arrive at our weekly teen supergroup meeting. I checked on my friends who play the game and played with Aneira's costume for a bit. Then I checked around again and discovered Nyxy's Pella talking with Ulty's and Jenny's player's new characters. I joined in roleplaying telling them about our supergroup. The most regular guy came in and joined us. Eventually, we ran a short taskforce. Then we went back to our supergroup base to roleplay afterwards. Jenny's player left to work on something, and I had Aneira nap while I ate dinner with my regular relief nurse. I did squeeze in reading Forward Day by Day. We also talked a fair bit. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. Aneira woke up to find folks still talking. Out of character, we talked about badges. Nyxy remembered one she wanted and invited everyone to come along. We did; even Jenny's Player joined the badge run. I switched to Anka, my best badge collector, who didn't have the badge. We ran it, and I got the badge. Then our team broke up. I read comics. Then I found a note from Dr. Faustus on Discord. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to find Dr. Faustus with Seb in a taskforce. I worked on a new badge on many characters while I waited for them. When they were done, we three teamed up with me on melee Olga. We finished the story that changed contacts in the middle. One of Seb's friends joined near the end. We started a more vaguely related story arc with one mission. Olga gained a level, so I turned off experience to not miss content. Our team broke up, and I trained for the level. Next, I found an invitation to a farm. Anka, my best badge collector, sat it while I wrote some in this, then made notes in it. After that, I completed an order on Amazon that Jason requested and messaged him about it. I kept checking the farm, but the farmer didn't want me pulling out early. They finished in time for me to shut down, but I was a little late for bed. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 27, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a little before 2 am. That meets my first goal, so that's good. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me to my First Timers' Line Dance Class. However, as we were getting ready to go, we wanted to make sure where it was and had trouble finding the schedule that said. We did find it and confirmed that it was at Auntie Sally's Luau Hale, but I was about six minutes late. It was a good class, with a variety of songs, from a brand new one we'd never done, to some old favorites. After class, my substitute relief nurse took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. I had a sweet potato popsicle on the way home. {Smile}

After I got home, I went onto my computer. I watched some videos and read many comics well into the afternoon. Then I finished writing up Sunday's daily update before I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also check the in-game auction house on a few characters. Then I started to do missions by myself on Seameownt, the character Kitten designed. During the second or third mission, Dennis said hi and joined me. We finished that mission and did one more before I left for supper. I read both Forward Day by Day and part of a novel with supper. {Smile}

After supper, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did a little badge work Dennis mentioned. I also checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Seb. We talked and teamed up to hunt together in a favorite zone of his. Then we worked on two statistic-enhancing badges for Seb's character. Next, we went back to hunting, this time in a favorite zone of mine for that. Eventually, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that I wrote in this. Then I checked Cross Stitch World and played a little of it before starting to make notes in this. I took two breaks to go back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. One was to work on some badges again, and the other to check on my friends who play the game again. Then I finished early enough, I worked a little on a couple more badges. though I realize if I really want to make my bedtime earlier, I need to take better advantage of finishing up early by getting off the computer early. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 26, 2026

 The night before Sunday, I got to bed a bit after two. That's less than ideal, particularly when I got up at 1:45 to give me a little more time to get to church. It did work, and drowsing on the way to church and back home afterwards did help. I still felt tired afterwards, though I'm not sure how much was lack of sleep, how much was dehydration, and how much was blood sugar. {Smile}

After church, my main nurse took me to church. I drowsed on the way down, trying to rest more tan I have been doing, and arrived before the announcements. those started early, but just as I was sitting down in my seat. I liked the service, and the lunch afterwards. That was surprisingly large, especially since several members didn't stay, because they were catching the buss the church had arranged to take folks to Waimea, a country town also called Kamuela, to meet candidates for our next priest. 

Auntie Barbara was back in town as of Friday. She greeted me before the service, since she was on greeter duty today. then she taught Sunday School and was delighted to have seven students in three families. My cousin Babs and her hanai granddaughter came on time this time, too. We sat together after lunch, so Auntie Barbara and Babs have now met. They have done so years ago, but if so, it was long enough, introductions made everyone more comfortable. After lunch, my main nurse took me back home. I drowsed again on the way. {Smile}

My housekeeper and her husband, my new handyman, were working on my house when I got home. My house is much better for their attentions. I told her I'd sent my story, and she promised to check. It probably got caught by her spam filter. {Smile}

After I got home from church, I got onto my computer. I watched a few videos and read comics before I wrote up Saturday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and also on the auction house. I chatted with friends on Discord, the chat server, especially Nox, Kitten, Pierogies and Dennis. Then I cleaned up with the help of my main nurse. I checked on my friends in City of Heroes: Homecoming again before I had dinner while reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I watched a few videos and read a comic before I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Dennis and Kitten, who'd just finished a taskforce together. Dennis needed a break. Kitten was acting awfully tired before going quiet. Next, I messaged Seb and Dr. Faustus on Discord. Seb said he was tired, and going to bed. I wrote up thoughts on a story I might work on again, the one that my housekeeper and cousin got copies of recently if their spam traps weren't too efficient. Then, I printed out the thoughts on both stories for class with main nurse's help. despite it being late. My nurse insists I should work earlier. I will try. After that, I went back to my computer. I found note on Discord from Dr. Faustus and responded. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Dr. Faustus. We teamed up with me on melee Olga and picked a story arc of hers. We did it... or the first half of it. We reached the end of the first contact. He passed us on to his superior as our next contact to continue a very much not finished story. Next, we said goodnight. We will do next part of the story another day. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, then wrote some of this. I switched to making notes in this with breaks to check and play a little Cross Stitch World, work on some badges in City of Heroes: Homecoming and shop a bit on Amazon. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 25, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to be a little before 2 am. First target met! I'm probably happier about that than is quite warranted, but I've gotten to bed after often enough, making the goal feels good. I didn't have much trouble with tiredness, either. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I watched short videos and read comics through lunch and a little afterwards, with only a little writing in my daily update until distinctly after lunch, Then I shifted to writing more. I even added my daily prayers at the end, since Sana had suggested I do so. I did read comics and check Discord in breaks. When I was done, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on the in-game auction house. Then I checked on my friends who ply the game. I found Dennis, Pierogies, and Kitten teaming. I joined them, first on Anka, my best badge collector, then on Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, because they wanted a healer, and she was the decent healer who didn't have the badge they were working on yet. I made good progress on the badge before we split up. Then I worked ont eh in-game auction house, storage and crafting until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I watched a few videos, but not many before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I teamed up with Dennis on Aiofe, the character who worked on the badge a day or two before with him. We started doing my missions. After a couple, Dr. Faustus joined us. We entered one mission, and I left for a brief break. I came back just as they finished. Dr. Faustus teleported me out just as Dennis found a giant monster who gave him a badge. I couldn't get back in to get the badge because the mission was over. They tried to get me the badge be redoing the contact's story arc, but the part of that contact's stuff we could and did do together didn't have the right mission in it. Dr. Faustus really tried to find another way, but Aiofe is one level shy of the next easiest way to get the badge. I found one way she's barely high enough level for, but it's long, and requires more people, so we'll probably wait. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Next, I wrote a little in this. I also wrote about ideas for the story I've been working on for Creative Writing. After that, I made notes in this, taking a break to research the badge Aiofe didn't get. That's how I found out about the way she's barely high enough level for, but it's a lot of trouble. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King, which I wrote out in the update just previous to this one. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 24, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed just after 2 am again. I tell myself at least it wasn't later, but I'm vaguely disappointed it wasn't before. That's my first goal. Second goal would be 1:45 am, and third goal, 1:30 am. Not sure I need earlier than that. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my ballroom dance class. It went very well. I think I got the last few Beginner's steps down and even told my teacher that I want to look at the earlier intermediate steps soon. It really helped that one student's girlfriend didn't come, so he partnered with me a lot. I also danced with the teacher a few times, including a demonstration where he showed the rest of the class how I "shadow dance," following his lead, including imitating him when that seems appropriate. A few congratulated me on dancing well after the exhibition. I also danced alone when they were both resting. After class, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Later, checking my phone, I found a note from Sana, a dear friend from graduate school who lives on Maui. She asked me to call her. I did, and we had a nice chat. It was only half an hour, which is short for us, but the voices cut in and out when I was at my computer. At one point, she dropped out, and didn't come back, even when I tried to move to places with better reception. I eventually I hung up and phoned again, and we heard well while I was on the ramp in front of my house. However, when I came back inside to get ready for my villain supergroup meeting, it started cutting in and out again. So, we stopped, saying we'll have to do this again. {Smile}

After class, I got onto my computer. I browsed videos through lunch. Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update before calling Sana. After the phone call, I settled into City of Heroes: Homecoming by doing the weekend in-game auction house. Next, I went to the villain supergroup meeting just on time with melee Olga. I was sure they'd be going, but I was the first one there. I checked Discord to make sure it wasn't cancelled. By the time I got back. Dr. Faustus and our leader were both there. A gal soon came who'd been missing so long, I'm not sure she'd met Olga, or even Hezabell, who's been there longer. Seb came on Marius, too, but our frequent regular was missing. We teamed up and did most of an urban fantasy themed story arc my Olga had. We stopped just before the end because Dr. Faustus and the leader had to go. We can continue next time. Afterwards, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Olga while talking with Shepherd and Kitten. Then I checked on my friends who play the game, finishing shortly before dinner. During dinner, I read Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I watched a couple of short videos and read a comic before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis and Kitten helping Shepherd with some badges and joined them. We did several missions, making good progress on a long and difficult badge, at least for my character and Shepherd's. Along the way, a friend of Dennis's joined us. Then Kitten left, needing to rest. Eventually, Dennis and his friend left. Next, Shepherd and I talked. I showed him a couple of tutorials and told him about the sequels to one of them, which are only unlocked when you finish the immediate prequel. Eventually we said goodbye. I wrote a little in this, then broke and checked Cross Stitch World. Then I made notes in this, taking a few short breaks. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. 

Sana suggested sharing them here, so here they are:

I've altered the Lord's prayer at the suggestion of a book I read part of a while back. They suggested personalizing it:

Our Father in heaven, holy be your name.

Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in Heaven.

Give us today fully enough bread.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us,

Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen

Saint Francis's prayer is pretty much a standard version, but less well known:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

        where there is injury, pardon

        Where there is discord, union

        where there is doubt faith

        where there is despair, hope

        where there is darkness, light

        where there is sadness, joy

Grant that I might not so much seek to be consoled as to console,

        to be understood as to understand

        to be loved as to love

For it is in giving that we receive

        it is in pardoning that we are pardoned

        and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

And the motto of the Daughters of the King

For His sake...

I am but one, but I am one.

I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

What I can do, I ought to do.

What I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.

Lord, what would you have me do?

Daily Update, April 23, 2026

The night before Thursday, I went to bed a little before 2 am. I got up at 9 am, as usual. I didn't have much trouble with tiredness. However, I'm suspicious that some of my tiredness has been dehydration. I checked, and tiredness can be a symptom, as can dizziness and being confused. So, I have something new to try when I feel generally off. {smile}

Starting during breakfast, I had my online counselling appointment. I thought it was a good session. We covered a fair bit of ground. {Smile}

After counselling, I wrote up my daily update. Then I read comics over lunch, and a bit afterwards. Next, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went back onto my computer and read a few more comics. I also made an online copy of the next story I want to work on for my class and sent copies to my cousin Kim and my housekeeper. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting I hadn't finished the previous night, and checked on my friends who play the game. I also talked with Pierogies and Dennis on Discord, the chat server. Next, I played by myself on the melee-ranged version of Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member until someone invited me to a team. I got a moderately high-level character I haven't played recently and did several missions on her with the team until I was called to dinner. I also checked on my friends who play the game again. After that, I read Forward Day by Day over dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I returned to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting from the afternoon. Then I checked Discord and replied to friends there. Back in City of Heroes: Homecoming, I debated what to do next when Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up and did two related story arcs over much of the evening. I gained a level. Dr. Faustus warned me that I should stop a level sooner than I planned to, to avoid missing content I want to do. When we finished the second story arc, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage. During that, Shepherd said hi. I hadn't talked with him in quite a while. He came back a week or two ago, after a long absence. We talked while I finished up. Then I joined him. I realized he didn't have a badge that improves a character that. I could help him get relatively quickly. We did that and I gave him a link to the Wiki to help him find others. We talked, then said goodnight. I wrote a little in this, then quickly shifted to making notes. My only break was to check Cross Stitch World and play briefly despite not meaning to. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 22, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to be a little after two. Yet I woke up early and even got out of bed a little before my alarm went off. I didn't feel particularly tired, either. I'm really not sure how that works, but I'll take it. {Smile}

A while after lunch, the Fire Ant Guy came by and treated our yard and basement for fire ants. They're his specialty. He doesn't exterminate anything else. I enjoyed talking while paying him. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of Holy Cross for my ballroom dance classes. The first part was bolero. I really like how that is coming along. Then we did Country two-step. It's done in a circle that keep progressing, and so far, every move is who turns when, and what direction we face. I managed to keep going, but I needed to steady myself after class. My main nurse took me home, too. I did Cross Stitch World much of the way down, and even more of the way back. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I read an article or two and watched a few short videos. Then I switched to reading comics both short and shorter. After a while, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the auction house, storage and crafting that I didn't get done the night before. I also checked on my friends who play the game, both early in other stuff, and afterwards. Then I paused to talk with the Fire Ant Guy. When I came back, I checked on my friends again and found Dennis. I said hi, and we talked as we teamed up, with me switching to the melee-ranged Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member, and him switching to someone near her in level. We did a couple missions, getting both of our characters a level in the last one. Then Dennis left to take a walk. I did some auction house, storage and crafting that conveniently ended shortly before my main nurse called me to a slightly early dinner. {Smile}

After I got back from my class, I got onto my computer again. I wrote a little of this before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I collected a badge on melee-ranged Olga. I also talked with Dr. Faustus on Discord. I was delighted to learn they hope to come back soon. At their suggestion, I set up a couple of contacts to start soon. and did a hunt for one to get a normal mission. Next, I started to check the long-ranged version of Olga. Soon, the player who is new in both of my supergroups said hi. We talked, and I joined her to keep her company and talk more until she left for bed. After that, I wrote more of this and read lots of comics. Then I checked Cross Stitch World and played a little of it before I made 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}

Daily Update, April 21, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed a bit before 2 am. At least I got a rest as long as I wanted when I got up at 9am Tuesday morning. I felt reasonably well-rested through the day. What blood sugar trouble I had was rarely tiredness or sleepiness, which tends to make me wonder if it's really blood sugar, or insufficient sleep. {Smile} 

After breakfast, I realized I had the monthly meeting, but by the time my substitute relief nurse and I finished getting ready and left the house I'd barely have time to say hi before I left for my creative writing class. So instead, I asked my nurser to drop me off early at Kamana Senior Center for my creative writing class. I got there as our teacher and other students began to arrive, which gave me time to talk to my teacher about how I really don't want to abandon developing original characters by switching to memoirs. Turns out that she's concerned with how little I seem to write. I rarely do more than my daily updates, and I don't show her my daily updates, since they're just journalling. She'd be happy to see another story as long as it actually moves. I'll try that. Class went well. I even got more into the freewriting, as it gave me insight into some characters that I created a while back. {Smile}

After class, my substitute relief nurse took me home. On the way, I got a call from my cousin Kim in Georgia. We talked about family and personal news. She is interested in seeing a story I'm thinking about working on. We finished the phone call not long after I got home. Then I talked a while with my housekeeper, who had already started working. The house is definitely better for her attentions. She's also interested in my story. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day and a bit of a novel over breakfast. Then, after the phone call with Kim and talk with my housekeeper, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read comics to settle in. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and went to the teen supergroup meeting distinctly early. I passed our leader int eh lobby, and went to the lounge, where I found Nyxy's character and another character, so I started to roleplay with them. Others arrived, including a character of Jenny's Player, and the fellow who came when it was only him and me, though our leader stayed in the lobby. Our roleplaying became quite involved when someone came in and stated talking with our leader. We learned that one of our characters has a nemesis. After that, we ran a particularly quick taskforce. Most left after the taskforce, but Nyxy, the gal with the nemesis, and I stayed. At least I stayed until I got called for dinner. {Smile}

I read part of a novel over dinner. After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I went back to Aneira. I found a note from Dennis, and we started talking. I also found Nyxy and the other player were there, but they left soon after. So, I switched to Seameownt, the character Kitten designed and joined Dennis. who ran the mission we didn't finish the other night We got Seameownt a badge, then said goodnight. I switched to melee-ranged Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member, and hunted until I got a badge. Then I switched back to Seameownt for a hunt. Next, I stopped to write a little in this and make a lot of notes in here. I did take a few breaks to check characters on Homecoming. I did some in-game auction house and storage on Seameownt, and storage on Aneira and Olga. The rest could wait. I also checked Cross Stitch World. I texted my housekeeper and Kim for their emails for the stories. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, April 20, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a little after 1:45. I got up at 9:00 am as usual I had distinct trouble with blood sugar, but it wasn't all tiredness. In fact, it started with light headedness during my dance class... not good, but it's reassuring that it really is blood sugar, not poor sleep. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my first Timer's Line Dance class. when I walked in, they hadn't started, but they moved to the dance floor as I got to that part of the room. You'd think they'd been waiting for me, but they never did before, so it must have been coincidence. I had to step out when I got a call. It was the head of the nursing company, telling me that my regular relief nurse is finally better after months of illness. He's ready to start with one day a week next Tuesday. I'm glad he's starting slowly. I hope he doesn't push himself before he's ready. After that, I went back to class. It went well until I got lightheaded during one song. Fortunately, a little package of lightly salted almonds helped me get back to normal enough to rejoin the class. After class, my substitute relief nurse took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. I got a liliko'i (passionfruit) popsicle, and a calamansi popsicle. The gal cut both open, so I ended up eating one right after the other on the way home. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by day. Then after class, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos, then shifted to reading things on City of Heroes: Homecoming. First, I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I checked the in-game auction house. Right after that, Dr. Faustus said hi. We started talking, and I realized how much I'd missed them. I quickly finished and shared my daily update while trying to team up with Dr. Faustus. Once I finished with my daily update, I was able to concentrate on teaming. We did a few missions, finishing melee ranged Olga's, my lower-level villain supergroup member's, last contact I want to do at her level, although Dr. Faustus disconnected every time we left a mission, just about. They came back and rejoined, so it didn't seem too bad to me. Then we found a mission where they disconnected three or four times just trying to enter. We finished that mission decisively. Fortunately, it was the last for that level. Then I turned on experience points. We did a hunt and a mission, then Dr. Faustus left, planning how to try to fix their connection. I did some hunts. Next, I did the in-game auction house, storage and crafting until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house on a few characters, then picked Seameownt, the character Kitten designed. I discovered they could get a few hunts and did some of them until I realized Dennis was on. We teamed up and did several of his missions until he left for bed. Then I did some hunts. Next, I did Seameownt's auction house, crafting, and storage. After that, I read a comic before I began writing in this. I switched to making notes in this, checking my characters in City of Heroes: Homecoming a few times. I also checked Cross Stitch World once. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
