Daily Update, March 24, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed just before 2am. Then I got up at 9 am like usual. I was mildly stunned to realize that I felt like I had gotten enough rest. I didn't realize I wasn't getting enough rest until I felt this way. I think that I should try to get a little more than that, so I have the option of getting up a second time in the night, which I didn't last night. I'll definitely try to get to bed at least before two, and if possible, a little earlier. I didn't have much trouble with tiredness during the day. Even when I suspected blood sugar trouble, it was mostly other symptoms. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me to Safeway. I picked up some prescriptions while she started shopping. When I was done, I looked for her and joined her in walking around the store for exercise, so I've actually got some, despite this not being a week with dance classes. After my nurse finished shopping, we ran an errand or two of hers before going home. {Smile}

In the afternoon, I was distracted by an annoying, high-pitched squeal that seemed to come from my hearing aids. Turning them off or taking them off stopped the squeal for that ear, but it also stopped all the sounds the hearing aid was picking up, leaving the ear feeling lifeless, and me feeling disconnected from the world. Changing the tips and even the earbuds didn't work. I was contemplating getting an appointment to get them checked when a trip to the bathroom stopped the squeal. It started up again when I returned to the computer room. Looking around, I realized that the battery backup was blinking red and green. I turned everything off, including that battery backup, and turned it back on. The squeal stopped and didn't reappear. {relieved smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. Then after we got home from our shopping trip, I added one thing to Monday's daily update and shared it. Next, I browsed articles, videos and comics over lunch and into the afternoon. I started to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. However, that's when I was distracted by an annoying, high-pitched squeal that seemed to come from my hearing aids but turned out to be from the battery backup. With that settled, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I went to the teen supergroup slightly early on Aneira, my higher-level member. I found Nyxy and another gal already role-playing, and no note from the leader about her not coming. Sure enough, Ulty, who's our leader, and Jenny's player, her close friend and assistant, both showed up soon after I did. as did another gal and the guy who usually comes, and a prospective new member who was on a brand-new character who must have been made pretty recently. With the new one so low-level, we didn't play the regular game. Instead, we roleplayed visiting a base where we picked out pizzas. Then we played a life-sized simple board game with our characters as the markers. When the first won, we gathered at the end. Some took pictures, but I forgot. After that, we roleplayed eating pizza together as we wound down. I chatted a little with Seb and Kitten privately while the roleplaying wound down. I think Seb said hi when he came in. I ate dinner at my computer while we were still roleplaying, so I didn't have to leave early. {Smile}

After the meeting broke up, I checked on my friends who play the game. I also broke to respond to Nox on Discord and leave a note for Dr. Faustus there. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on a few badges for Aneira Until Dr. Faustus said hi. I switched to my melee-ranged Olga, the higher-level version of my lower-level villain supergroup member. We ran a story arc of hers. A friend of Seb's and a friend of mine who said "hi" joined us partway through, though my friend left after one mission. When that story arc was done, we started the next story arc. Dr. Faustus, Seb, and Seb's friend all stayed until we broke up at a good time for me to start getting ready for bed. I did a talk-mission and set up the one after that, so no one has to wait through that next time. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on Olga, followed by a tiny bit of badge work on Aneira. After that, I wrote a little in this. Then, after a short break, I made notes in this. After another short break, I wrote an email to a cousin. I made a few more notes in this. Then I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, St. Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 23, 2026

The night before Monday, I got some kind of severe gastrointestinal upset. It only lasted a couple of hours at most, but it slowed down taking notes and getting ready for bed enough, I still only go there around 2:15 am, despite getting started far sooner. At least I was beginning to feel better by bedtime, so I hope the illness didn't affect my sleep too much. {rueful smile}

After breakfast, I hopped onto my computer, and browsed articles, videos, and comics Until a thunderstorm started being close at lunch time. I shut off my computer and peripherals, and had lunch away from the computer, reading Forward Day by Day during it. By the time I was done with lunch, the thunderstorm had passed, so I returned to my computer and read comics on it well into the afternoon. Then I wrote up my daily update, breaking to read a few more comics. Somehow, I only went into City of Heroes: Homecoming less than an hour before dinner. However, I quickly found Dennis and Kitten teaming together. I joined them and did two or three of Dennis's missions on moderately low-level characters with them before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I responded on Discord, the chat server, to a few friends, and left a message to Dr. Faustus, who didn't respond. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Kitten and Pierogies. Pierogies responded, and we quickly teamed up to do two or three missions on high-level characters. Seb said hi while we were doing the last mission. We chatted until Pierogies and I got done. Then Seb invited me to roleplay. I got Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member, and joined his Marius, who also belongs to that supergroup. We did a private roleplay for a fair while. Next, he left for bed when he got tired. I did some auction house, storage and crafting, and I wrote in this, taking breaks to read a couple more comics, and do some auction house and storage on the character I used with Pierogies. After that, I got the character I'd played with Dennis and Kitten. I did auction house and storage, then updated some of their missions, since I noticed several were old, but easy to update. Then I read one more comic before I finished the last bit of this. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, St. Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 22, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed around 2:15. It's no worse than most other recent nights... except that for church, I get up closer to 8:45 am than 9:00 am. I dont' think I had too much trouble with tiredness later in the day. {Smile}

Getting up earlier did help my main nurse get me to church at the beginning of the announcements. He was later because he went back for his daughter, who'd called just after we'd passed his house. It was a nice service, with a visiting priest who appreciates how much Hawaiian we use. {Smile}

For lunch on the church lanai, I sat with Auntie Barbara and BJ. Auntie Barbara and I talked about things I need for the necklace that lost a ring. In addition to a new ring, it would be nice for the two charms to have a home that can move easily. We also talked about the trip home she'll start soon. I might have to wait until she gets back to get that necklace fixed, though she will try for at least the ring, since she'll be gone a month. I also talked with the gal who, along with her husband, is our congregation's expert in the Hawaiian language. She will be happy to look over the Hawaiian in my story that I've been working on for my Creative Writing class. I need to get that ready this week. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me home. I didn't trust my phone not to erase stuff, so I played Cross Stitch World both down and back. Late in the evening, I found it had erased everything I've done in that pattern for a second time. It's annoying to lose the work but doesn't require recreating anything like rewriting does. So yes, I'd rather lose this progress. {smile}

When I got home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles, videos and comics -- mostly comics --until I wrote up Saturday's daily update, with a few breaks to read more comics. Then I sorted through my socks because some seem to have gone missing. Next, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house, then my friends who play the game. I waved to a few, but everyone was busy, so I got the mid-level, melee-ranged Olga, and ran a mission in a story arc by myself before having dinner while reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read comics. Then I answered Nox on Discord and left a note for Dr. Faustus on Discord. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house, and then my friends who play the game. I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, Nyxy, and Seb while I got Olga and ran the next mission in the story arc I'd worked on earlier. Dr. Faustus said hi while I was in there. We teamed up and finished that story arc - only a couple missions more. After that, we did two more story arcs in a series of five. I'll have to go up in level to do the last story arcs in that series, but I have more story arcs elsewhere first. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Olga, then wrote a bit in this. Next, I checked Cross Stitch World and discovered it had reset the pattern. Then I got some severe gastrointestinal upset that moved down my GI tract and left in under two hours, I treated it as I could, mostly gas, because that lasted the longest. While treating it, I made notes in this. Next, I paused to revise my story a little and answered an email when the notes were mostly done, since it was earlier than I thought. I also checked out Discord, and adding to my notes along the way. I said the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the Daughters of the King's motto to finish my evening. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 21, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed around 2:15 am again. I need to work on this, but at least it's not later. {Smile}

Late in the morning, my main nurse took me to Prince Kuhio Plaza to walk around. We went all the way around, including into TJ Maxx, both Macy's, and Old Navy. Then my main nurse and I went back home. We would have stopped for a popsicle, but I think they're closed for vacation. I'm glad they're doing well enough to afford that. I tried writing some of Friday's daily update in the car, but it didn't save. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day over breakfast, Then, after the trip, I got onto my computer. I rewrote the part of Friday's daily update that I'd already written, referencing what I wrote. I took breaks for web browsing, including articles, videos, and particularly comics. Next, I wrote the rest of the update. I felt the earlier writing took more time than it saved, though it's great when it does save, like the day before. I'm not sure why it saves sometimes and not others. When I finished my daily update, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on the in-game auction house. After that, I checked on my friends who play the game, and started chatting with Pierogies, who was feeling more like talking than playing. We just talked until he said goodnight. I just hunted badges on Seameownt, the character Kitten designed, until I checked on my friends again, and noticed that Dennis was on. We teamed up on moderately low-level characters, and did several missions, most if not all his, until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I read comics on the web. Then I messaged Dr. Faustus on Discord, the chat server. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked the in-game auction house. After that, I checked one my friends who play the game. Then I collected more badges on Seameownt until Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked, slowly choosing who to team up on. We chose Dr. Faustus and the mid-level, melee-ranged Olga. We finished a story arc Olga had started, then did a distantly related story arc, roleplaying as our characters along the way. Next, we said goodnight. After that, I prepared Olga for future story arcs, and worked on her in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I wrote a little in this. I played a tiny bit of Cross Stitch World before I made notes in this. I ended my evening by saying Saint Francis's Prayer, The Lord's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 20, 2026

 The night before Friday, I got very caught up in Cross Stitch World, to the point that I had trouble setting it aside to get ready for bed. Yet, especially with a reminder from Nox, I still got into bed around 2:15. I hope to get to bed sooner with less serious distractions. My main nurse suggested a nap, and I did take a short one after breakfast, but I didn't really feel not tired until I after our errands, when I was at my computer with the fan both on full. I guess I finally got overheated a bit. {Smile}

Before my nap, I called my doctor's office and left a message on their answering machine asking them to send an order to my preferred branch of Clinical Laboratories of Hawai'i. After my nap, my main nurse and I went out for errands.  First, we stopped at my doctor's office. They'd sent in the request as asked, but gave me a paper version of the order, too. Next, we went to the Lanihuli Street branch of Clinical Laboratories of Hawai'i, and got my medical tests done. After that, we went to First Hawaiian Bank. The checks I had to deposit, turned out to be for Dad. His trust doesn't have an account yet, but my financial adviser wants me to set one up. I think I finally found out what I really need to open one. A very self-confident and businesslike woman told me last year that I needed a death certificate and an EIN... I think that's Estate Identification Number. However, when they found it was for his trust, not his estate, they said I needed the TIN, or Tax Identification Number, and the documents that set up the trust. I did get some cash from my own account, because I was running low. Then we ran a few of my nurse's errands while I wrote up Friday's daily update. Yes, fully. by the time we got home, I was done. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After we returned home from our errands, I got onto my computer. I quickly corrected the minor formatting mistakes that happen when I write on my phone. Then I shared Friday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and did a little of the weekend auction house. Then I noticed a very regular long-term member of the villain supergroup was on. I went to their meeting spot early. settling in shortly before the very long-term member's character showed up. We started to roleplay, and Dr. Faustus soon joined us. Seb's Marius joined us not long after that. We did two story arcs my mid-level, melee-ranged Olga, or most of one - I'd done the first mission the day before, and all of a sequel. Next, we broke up, and I worked on Olga's auction house, storage and crafting until dinner. I also did more of my weekend auction house. {Smile}

After dinner, I read a few comics before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and talked with Seb, Ulty, and Jenny's Player. I also talked with Dr. Faustus and later with Nox, both on Discord. I got a bunch of contacts started for Olga. I stopped when I noticed Pierogies said hi. We talked and got together to tour bases. We checked most of them out a bit, so didn't get a whole lot, though we are working on badges giving for visiting a lot of bases. We stopped when Pierogies got tired and said goodnight. Then I started talking with Seb while I worked on more of my weekend auction house until Seb asked about roleplaying. I got Olga and joined his Marius for some private roleplaying. Eventually we said goodnight. I played a little Cross Stitch World, then worked on more of my weekend auction house. Next, I wrote a little of this before breaking to read a comic. After the comic, I made notes in this. I ended by evening with the Lord's Prayer, St. Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 19, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed around (:15 am again. It was slightly earlier, but I do hope to reach more. Still, I want to finish my notes in this before bed, because I know I'll struggle to remember half as much after sleeping much. I did wake at 9 am and didn't seem to need too much rest or blood sugar help again. {Smile}

At breakfast, I started my video counselling session. We had a good talk, including planning to be more involved in preparing breakfast and lunch.  {Smile}

Afterwards, I browsed articles and videos on the web.  Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I read webcomics over lunch.  After lunch, I wrote up my daily update, taking breaks for more webcomics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Kitten, Pierogies and Jenny's player. I talked with Kitten and Jenny's player. Next, I joined Kitten in the later short, large-group event with me on a character who's particularly good in it. After that, I teamed up with Kitten, with me on the middle-level, melee-ranged version of Olga, the lower-level villain supergroup member. We did a story arc of Olga's together. Dennis joined us in the last mission in time to get a badge from it. Then we said goodnight. I had just enough time for some auction house and storage on her before dinner while reading Forward Day by Day.  {Smile}

After dinner, I read webcomics. Then I wrote a little of this. I said hi to Nox, Kitten, Pierogies, Dennis and Dr. Faustus on Discord, the chat server.  Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming.  I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Kitten, Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Seb. After that, I did a little crafting on the melee version of Olga while I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player and Seb. Then I joined Seb in a player-built cafe for light, mostly public role playing with me and Seb's Marius chatting privately on the side. Eventually Marius left, and Olga went with him. We went to our supergroup for some private role playing. (We're both in the villain supergroup.) Then we said goodnight. I made notes in this, taking a longer break to play Cross Stitch World than I intended.  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, March 18, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed around 2:15. Taht's half an hour earlier than the day before, though not particularly good or bad compared to usual. The next morning, I was still feeling tired, so I lay down for a nap before lunch, and felt more like myself after that. I didn't have anywhere near as much trouble with feeling tired or with blood sugar after that. {Smile}

My doctor's office called to cancel an appointment I have for tomorrow. It's to go over blood tests which I'd forgotten I need, so I need to reschedule after getting the blood tests. {smile}

After my nap, I browsed articles, videos and comics over lunch and into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update, with distinctly less browsing in fewer breaks than usual. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Pierogies, Kitten, Dr. Faustus, and Seb. I also talked with Nox on Discord. I teamed up with Dr. Faustus, with me on Octavia, a moderately low-level human mage. Kitten joined us, and we did several missions, finishing one contact and starting another before Kitten left Then Dr. Faustus and I did one more mission before we broke so I could eat dinner. I read forward Day by Day during that meal. {Smile}

After dinner, I read a few comics. Then I messaged Dr. Faustus and Kitten on Discord, the chat server. I also began talking with Nox on Discord. I ended up going into City of Heroes: Homecoming later than I meant to. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten, Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Seb, and talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Seb. I started roleplaying with Seb. Then Dr. Faustus joined us. They left for a bit, but I called them back, and we did three-way roleplaying, chatting, during which Kitten said hi privately. Dr. Faustus, Seb and I switched to missions with roleplaying. We did a mission from one contact, then an entire story arc from another contact at my request. Kitten joined partway through. Next, we started a sequel contact's story arc. Kitten left partway through, about the time a friend of Seb's joined. A while later, Dr. Faustus left. Seb, his friend and I finished the second story arc and contact, then said goodnight. I left to work on the in-game auction house and storage. After that, I wrote a little in this, then made a lot of notes in this. I took minimal breaks, including one for minimal Cross Stitch World. Then I said the Lord's Prayer and the motto of the Daughters of the King to finish my evening. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 17, 2026

The night before Tuesday, as I mentioned in the update, I got into a conversation that kept me going and engaged enough, I didn't get into bed until around 2:45 am. Maybe I should be relieved it wasn't 3 am, but mostly I'm determined to not let it get this late again. I drowsed in the car on our trip out and noticed less tiredness later. There was still a fair bit, though that did seem to respond to blood sugar treatment, for the most part. {Smile}

At breakfast time, I planned a morning nap. That changed when my phone made the noise for the calendar. I checked and found out it was the day of the monthly picnic. I checked email but didn't find announcement (not even later, despite the leader swearing she sent one). I called the leader and left a message on her answering machine. She soon called me back and told me we were meeting in the kitchen at the Hawai'i County Office of Aging. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me down to the Office of Aging. We arrived late, as I knew we would. they start at 10, and it's hard enough to do that for church. A second time in a week doesn't happen. Talking over food was in full swing. My nurse came in and met folks, then left for errands she had. We talked about what I've been doing, and I learned what some of the others have been doing, too. When they were done, I texted my substitute relief nurse, then continued to visit with the leader until my nurse came and picked me up to take me home. {Smile}

Back at home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos, then wrote up some of Monday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes Homecoming, thinking to prepare for the teen supergroup meeting. However, I immediately found a note from Nyxy explaining that the guy who's been meeting me when others don't come couldn't make it. and no one else seemed likely either, so this weeks' meeting was called off. I browsed more videos and read some comics. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, then stepped away briefly. I came back to learn that Pierogies had come on and said hi. I got their attention and learned that they were in the later long, large-group event. I joined the group, and we ran it together. I got two badges I've been working on for a while on that character. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. Next, Dennis said hi. We teamed up and did a mission. Then Pierogies joined us and we did another couple of missions. Then we all broke, them heading to bed, and me to dinner with Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed comics and finished writing up Monday's daily update. I finished late enough that I got note on Discord from Nox asking if I'd be done soon. Fortunately, at point I was getting ready to share it. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Dr. Faustus. We teamed up with me on the newer, ranged Olga, and they helped me get a badge that improves her stamina, so she tires less easily. While we were finishing, the new gal came on and spoke to the supergroup. She joined us, and we started running bank heists, getting loot and badges that will help her. Next, Dragons said hi and joined us. Then Dragons asked for us to invite Star, a friend of theirs who I'm acquainted with, too. We continued until the new gal and Dr. Faustus had to leave. I left, too, as Dragons and Star joined another friend of theirs. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on a few characters. Then I did a little writing in this before making a fair bit of notes to cover the rest. I did break for comics and videos a few times. I finished my evening with prayers, including the Lord's Prayer and the Daughters of the King's motto, which can be a prayer, too. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 16, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed around 2:15 am again. Neither great nor terrible by recent standards, and I didn't struggle too much with feeling tired, I don't think. {Smile}

The previous night, I found an email warning me I had no makeup class after all, because of the storm passing through. the next morning, I got a phone call about the same thing shortly before the class was scheduled. I'm impressed with how they're really on top of making sure we know about this cancellation. {Smile}

A while after breakfast, my substitute relief nurse and I went out to run several errands, mostly the relief nurse's. My class was cancelled due to a storm that is passing the state, so I didn't have that to go to.  We picked up some lunch, because we were going late. We also tried for a popsicle, but they were closed. The park the ice cream parlor is in looked too wet for walking, so we went home. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles, videos, and comics over the rest of lunch, which was late. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Dennis said hi, and we teamed up. I picked Seameownt, the character Kitten designed, and we did one mission. Then I got seriously distracted by a conversation on Discord, the chat server. By the time I got back, Dennis had given up and left. He explained how long he'd waited over Discord when I asked. I tried to explain and apologize. Dinner interrupted getting back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. {smile}

After dinner, I read comics before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Seb, and we chatted before saying goodnight. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Michiel and we teamed up. We ran a few missions of mine together. Then Dr. Faustus said hi and joined us. We finished my mission and ran one of Dr. Faustus's. Then Michiel left. Next, Dr. Faustus and I discussed who to play. I got a moderately low-level character named Octavia Ballad and tweaked her costumes to make her younger to match Dr. Faustus's character. We roleplayed them meeting each other and another character of Dr. Faustus's. We did several missions of mine to catch my character up to Dr. Faustus's. Then we can start doing some missions where we both get credit. After that, we said goodnight. I finished tweaking Octavia's costumes, then worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting for both Octavia and Seameownt. Next, I wrote sin this before switching to making notes. I also talked with Dennis on Discord, which helped me to be particularly late to bed. I did remember to say the Lord's Prayer and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, March 14, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed around 2:15 am. I was hoping for sooner, but that was before I found the Daughters of the King chat that announced that church had been cancelled for the next morning "out of an abundance of caution." Reading that, responding to that, telling Auntie Barbara and my main nurse about that, and adding it to my notes in this all slowed me down. However, I got to sleep in to my regular time, instead of getting up earlier to go to church, so I didn't feel like a needed a nap... unless you count some apparent blood sugar trouble in the late afternoon. It responded well enough to the usual treatments that I'm not counting it. {Smile}

I discovered that the "prayer" I say is officially their motto, not one of their prayers. It sure feels like a prayer to me. It's talking to God and everything. {Smile, wink}

Before bed, the chain I wear my Daughters of the King cross on came apart. After breakfast, I tried to fix it, but I lost a jump ring. I made it work, but not well. So, I told my main nurse, then searched around the house.  I couldn't find anything that was quite right, not even in some jewelry supplies I found. Then I remembered that Auntie Barbara is a retired jeweler. Most retired craftsmen have the supplies for their trade for personal use, so I texted her about it, and she asked what kind of metal I need. I think this will get fixed by someone who really knows about jewelry.  {SMILE}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day.  Then after settling the necklace, I went on my computer.  I browsed articles, videos, and comics. Next, I wrote up Saturday's daily update, taking breaks for more articles and videos.  After that, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming.  I checked on my friends who play the game, and chatted with Kitten, Pierogies, Seb, Ulty, and Jenny's Player. Kitten was slow to team up due to chores but did so eventually with me on the character they designed. I think Pierogies joined us. We did a few missions from one contact before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said goodnight to Seb, who was just leaving. I chatted with Ulty a bit. Then I checked a few of my characters. I began to play by myself on a moderately low-level character. It was a struggle, but I completed one mission. I had to lower the difficulty and go slow, but I did it.  Next, I read some comics. After that, I said the motto of the Daughters of the King and felt inspired to look at my story.  I revised the first three scenes of my story, trying to tighten it like my instructor said to, but probably nowhere near as severely as she meant. Still, it is a start.  Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did three more missions on the moderately low-level character. It was still difficult, but I got better with practice, and with lowering the difficulty the rest of the way. Next, I worked on that character's auction house, storage and crafting.  After that, I wrote some of this, and made notes in this with fewer, shorter breaks than usual. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer and the motto of the Daughters of the King.  {Smile}
