Daily Update, October 30, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. I guess I shoudlnt' be too surrpsied at moving slowly after such a busy day. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. Not as many came, though the new gal I first met last week and saw again Wednesday was there. We all blamed the weather. It had been quite rainy since the day before and wasn't looking to let up soon. Also, there was nothing for this to be the drier alternative to; that can boost attendance surprisingly. I have the early beginner moves and the later moves that are easy to shadow, but I'm still working on the moves that are easier when a follow is led by the lead. Still, I got to practice with a guy and the instructor's assistant a bit. More than usual, though, I danced by myself. My usual partners among the students were all missing. After class, my main nurse took me home. I read _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 1_ on the way down and the way back. It's enough thicker but shorter and narrower than _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ that I felt more confident it wouldn't get damaged on the way. {Smile}

A while after lunch, the secretary from Helping hands Hale, the nursing company which takes care of me came by for the monthly check. We visited for a short while when I handed it over to her, which is nice. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. Then I went to my class. After I got back home, I went onto my computer. I mainly made web comics and browsed on Amazon, with a break when the nursing company's secretary visited. Next, I wrote a little of Thursday's daily update before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to the villain supergroup meeting on melee-ranged Olga. I found Seb's Marius, but he was distracted, so I checked on my friends who play the game. I did a little roleplaying with Marius, and Anya and the leader when they showed up. The four of us ran the Halloween-themed trial for exactly four people, since we had exactly the right number, and it will be over for another year early next week. Dr. Faustus arrived near the end of the trial. We went back to the base for visiting and light roleplaying including Dr. Faustus after the trial. The meeting eventually broke up, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga. After that, I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Then I broke to browse on Amazon, finding but not yet getting some books I was interested in, despite being ebooks, which I don't usually like. Well, some are also audiobooks, but with my hearing loss, that's even worse. Next, I broke for dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, forward Day by Day and _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. 

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read web comics and tried the most interesting story that was only available as an ebook. I enjoyed it so much that at the end of the free sample, I considered buying it despite it being an ebook. When I looked into it, I realized I could use points to buy it and did so. I looked into those points later, and those points are strictly for buying ebooks with. There's no other way to use them, so using them for this feels better. I read a fair bit more of it. I also finished writing up Thursday's daily update. Then I answered Nox on Discord, the chat server, before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I did one timed mission which stopped a level earlier than anything else any contact had on Yenna Grajewo. I turned on XP for her and did a couple of hunts. She didn't gain a love, but she's getting closer. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Yenna Grajewo. After that, I read a little more _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ before I wrote in this, with a break to check and play Cross Stitch World. I switched to making 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 29, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal, which is very nice. {Smile}

I had breakfast at my laptop computer, before and during my online counselling session. That went well. We covered the main points I can think of. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me out. I tried out _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ on the way down. Our first stop State building, where the internet told my main nurse we had to go to vote. We found a nice lady who explained that no, we wanted the county building next door. Maybe the State building works in Honolulu, but we're in Hilo. At the county building, another nice lady explained that no, we wanted the annex across the street. At the annex they directed us out of the main part and over to the wing where, at the end, I finally found a form to fill out to let me vote. I turned it in, and a pleasant fellow asked if I wanted to vote by paper or electronic means. I almost said paper, but I tried the electronic. It was kind of neat; it was all touch screen and produced a printout at the end that we fed into the machine. {Smile}

Then my main nurse took me to The Foot Clinic. I tried out _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ on way there. They weren't upset that I was late, just giving me a pad to update my patient information When I was done, they took me to an exam room. I read a little more _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ before I saw the podiatrist, a new, younger man. Their long-time podiatrist is slowly doing less on his way to retirement. He checked my feet, which passed the tests despite some diabetic neuropathy, and trimmed my nails. {Smile}

Next, my main nurse dropped me at the public library. I read more of _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ on way there, but decided to return it while I was there. I picked out a few new books, and read more of _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ when I wasn't returning, choosing or checking out books. the library gave a few warnings. At the five warning, I stepped outside, continuing to read _Prince Preya, Vol. 1_. Soon my main nurse picked me up and took me home. I finished all the story in _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ about the time we reached home. {Smile}

After counselling, I switched from my laptop to my main computer. I read web comics through lunch. Then came our trip out. When I got back, I read the author's commentary at the end of _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_. I sorted through all the library books I've borrowed and not returns, making four piles: _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ starts the finished pile. Another pile is stuff that's never been renewed, including what I borrowed that day. Another pile has stuff that has been renewed once. the last pile has stuff that's been renewed twice, which I think is the current maximum of times. I further sorted the renewed twice pile by due date, with the soonest at the top and the furthest away at the bottom. A have a few due next week on top. I have a lot to read by the middle of next week. I'm glad I returned _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_. It's a thick book that I can read later. Next, I picked out _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ and put it where I'd take it to dinner. I went onto my computer and read some web comics. I also browsed books on Amazon. After that, I checked Discord, the chat server. I found out that Dennis had just asked where Kitten and I were. I left quick note and dashed into City of Heroes: Homecoming. We teamed up and did a mission with me on Peony Boffin. We ended a little after I was called to dinner, so we just said goodnight and I went to dinner. I ate with main nurse, the TV, and _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. I found Forward Day by Day near the end of dinner; it had gotten under the stacks I'd sorted. I read it while I finished dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished the first scenes of _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went onto my computer and wrote up Wednesday's daily update. After that I browsed on Amazon and also browsed some videos before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming particularly late. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I ran melee-ranged Olga through a few talks and one mission, finishing a contact and setting up another contact that I didn't realize she also needs to finish before going up in level. Now I have two to go before she goes up. I checked Yenna Grajewo's contacts, to figure out when to let her go up, and which contacts to prioritize because of lower-level maximums for some contacts. I hunted on her and did a little in-game auction house and storage on her. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World before 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 28. 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed shortly after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal by only 2 or 3 minutes. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. I danced with one of the other gals before the first class began. That was Foxtrot, and we're getting into come complicated steps and combinations. I'm enjoying the challenge. Then came Bachata, which is also getting more complicated. Again, I enjoyed the challenge. The new gal I'd never met before from last Friday's class was there again. She did the Foxtrot, and the beginning and the end of the Bachata, but did sit out some of the middle. It is a lot of dancing if you aren't used to it. After class, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way and on the way back. It's late enough in the year, it's dark both ways. That's the high tropics; we do have different seasons. They're just mild. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I went onto my computer. I spent all morning researching political candidates to prepare for the upcoming election. I hoped to vote the next day, after lunch (and did). yes, it's early, but the lines are rarely long ahead of time. I finished at lunch time and switched to browsing books on Amazon during lunch. I continued browsing books on Amazon well into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. I posted a note in Discord, the chat server, before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten. We teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga. Dennis joined us. We three started a story arc that's helping to keep her from gaining level, along with one other story arc. We ended at dinner time, partway through that story arc. I had dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade. {Smile}

After dinner, I went to my classes. After I got back, I went onto my computer and browsed books on Amazon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga. I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Next, I ran a hunt on Peony Boffin before I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Peony. I read some web comics. I played Cross Stitch World. After that, I closed windows on my computer. That really helps with distractions when I'm writing or making notes, though I opened enough to get a little distracted later. I mainly 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 27, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am, so I made my first bedtime goal, even though it was the night that runs late most often. I'm pretty happy with that. {Smile}

Before breakfast, I printed out five copies of the story I added to the night before. Late in the morning, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. I arrived a little early but wasn't quite the first one there. I shared the need to negotiate with the lead of one of the two stories I'm working on because she doesn't like the way I thought the story should go. I've seen scenes and even whole stories turn out poorly because a character was fighting the author over which way the story should go. I enjoyed the lecture. I shared the story I added to during that section of class. I got encouragement, though not many suggestions. Then again, it can be hard to make suggestions early in the story, which this one is. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I read _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. After that, I went to class. After I got back, I went onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I took Peony Boffin to the teen supergroup's base for the weekly teen supergroup's meeting. I checked some other windows, and came back to find that Jenny's player and Nyxy's Pella had come in. Then Ulty's Puffin and Jawsome came. Veronica's player brought a new character, and we roleplayed her initial interview. Next, Pella left because Nyxy had had another long day. The rest of us did the newly revamped taskforce. I like it. We didn't have to hunt down anyone at the end of a mission this time, which is such a relief. The old version made you do that a lot. After the taskforce, we went to the base for a little roleplaying. That broke up just as I was called to dinner. I ate with my relief 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. Then I began writing up Monday's daily update. I broke to watch several videos before I finished Monday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Dennis, who was on a different Homecoming shard, as they call alternate setups of the game world. I also talked with Dr. Faustus. Dr. Faustus and I teamed up, and Dennis joined us. we did a few missions, finishing the story arc we'd started the other night, and starting the next story arc in a series. Dennis left, and we did a few more missions, finishing the second story arc and barely starting the next contact. We need to gain level to continue the next contact. We said goodnight, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on Peony. After that, I crafted for badges and did some in-game auction house on Emmy Overstreet. Then I broke to check and play Cross Stitch World. Nest, I wrote a little in this. I closed windows on my computer before I started making notes in this. I broke break to check Peony and open a special costume slot that needs Halloween supplies for her before I finished making 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 26, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. It's harder to get to bed early before Monday, because I have an extra medicine to administer. {small smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me to Aunty Sally's Luau Hale for my Absolute Beginner's Line Dance class. I arrived a little early, and talked to a new gal, beginning to get to know her. She mentioned that another student had had a bad fall. He's getting treated in Honolulu, which can handle more serious cases better than Big Island hospitals usually can. Other than that news, class went well. My relief nurse took me home afterwards. I read _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

After lunch, I got a phone call from my cousin Kim. We talked for quite a while. I enjoyed every minute. It was great to talk again. We caught up on what each other have been doing, including what kept her away for a while. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and the TV. After I got back from class, I had lunch with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I got the phone call from my cousin. Next, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched some videos. I left a note in Discord, the chat server right before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Midori Neko, who I'd played the day before, then not gotten back to. Dennis said hi, and we squeezed in a mission with me on Ana Marcelino, my second-best badge collector. We said goodbye, and I set Ana to working on badges passively. I squeezed in writing some of Sunday's daily update before I got ready for dinner. I ate with my relief nurse, the TV, and _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished Sunday's daily update and shopped on Amazon. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I got a badge on Ana and started hunting for a different badge. At first, I had trouble, but then I tried a trial that used to be too dangerous to solo. They fixed most of that, which let me get the badge. However, when I tried to finish the trial, I had too much trouble with the final battle. I quit without finishing and updated her badge record. After that, I did some in-game auction house and storage on her. Then I did some in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Anka Beecher, my very best badge collector, followed by some storage on the moderately low-level Lynn Beecher and the lower-level Uncle Vincent. I paused to check and play Cross Stitch World. Next, I wrote in _Judith_, adding a little to share in class the next day. I wrote in this and made notes in this before finishing my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 25, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed right at 1:45 am. That barely meets my second bedtime goal! I got up with my alarm, realized it was set at 8:30 from the recent 9 am services, set it for 8:45 am, and got up for real then. I didn't short my sleep getting up at 8:45 am. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to The Church of the holy Apostles, my church. I carried a bag with an early Christmas present for my cousin Babs and brought a stack of books for the organist. I arrived during the announcements and sat with Peg, who founded our chapter of the Daughters of the King. Auntie Barbara joined us after Sunday school. I enjoyed the service. {Smile}

Babs wasn't there, so I took her present back home afterwards. Our organist was there, so I gave him the hymnals and choir books. I gave Dad's prayer book to our new priest. I also met my substitute relief nurse there. She'd come with her husband. They were both wearing a lei; we give them to visitors and first-timers. I sat with Auntie Barbara at lunch. We enjoyed visiting. She straightened out my confusion over the problem I'd seen in a Facebook post. It was limited to the trip home and will soon be fixed. After lunch, main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. After I got home, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and browsed on Amazon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and set Ana to working passively on badges. Next, I wrote up Saturday's daily update. I browsed on the internet a bit before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found out that Dennis was in a taskforce. I joined the later long, large-group event. They were trick-or-treating when I joined, so I did that until they started the event. Afterwards, I worked on storage on Ana until Pierogies said hi. I joined him on Ana for the start of a story arc we can both get credit for. He shared the story, too, which was perfect! We broke when I was called to dinner. Before I left, I set Ana to working on the badges again after a little confusion with Pierogies. I had dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked on Ana and actually saw her get the badge. She worked on the next badge in line while I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on Ana. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Cat, but they went quiet quickly. So, I said hi to Tiet and Mysty. I picked Seameownt, and joined them in a story arc they were doing. Then Dennis said hi. He joined us, but everyone else got into an argument over a pet peeve of Dennis's. Dennis and I talked after he left the group while I continued to play with Tiet and Mysty. Dr. Faustus joined us. Cat said hi, explaining they'd had connectivity issues earlier. Cat played with Dennis to keep him company, while I played with Tiet, Mysty, and Dr. Faustus. We finished the first story arc. Then we explored until Dr. Faustus started a mission they had, and we joined to help them. Next, Dr. Faustus left. Tiet, Mysty, and I explored some more. I shifted to another window to work with stories for class but didn't get far. When I went back, I discovered Seameownt had disconnected. I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and rejoined Mysty and Tiet. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Seameownt while hanging with Tiet and Mysty. Next, when we broke up, I worked on storage on Emmy Overstreet, and updated Ana Marcalino's badge record. After that, I worked on a different badge on Ana Marcelino while writing and starting to make notes in this. I broke from the notes to check and play Cross Stitch World and to write to Dennis on Discord. I finished my notes. 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, October 24, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I did not meet my first bedtime goal, but at least it wasn't as bad as the night before. {Smile}

I didn't go out on Saturday, nor did I make or get any special phone calls. The only special thing was a note from Auntie Barbara to her Facebook friends. I haven't heard much from her recently, but she's doing fine, and should be back to normal soon. That's a relief. {SMILE}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer and browsed webcomics a bit. Then I went Into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I set Anka, my very best badge collector, to working passively on a couple of badges while I wrote up Friday's daily update. When I was done with writing up my daily update, I switched to having Ana, my second-best badge collector work on similar badges passively as I caught up on a couple of web comics. I'm not sure where lunch fit in. Maybe before the writing. After the web comics, I left a note in Discord and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Pierogies and I talked and teamed up. We did trick-or-treat and Halloween-themed missions with me on melee-ranged Olga. Dennis soon joined us in both trick-or-treat and Halloween-themed missions. Pierogies left when he was tired. Dennis and I did a little more trick-or-treat and one more Halloween-themed mission before dinner. I ate with my main nurse and the TV. I didn't read much, due to an interesting conversation and an interesting TV show. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I answered Nox on Discord, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Dennis. We teamed up for more trick-or-treat and Halloween themed missions, with me on Midori Neko, a moderately high-level cat girl character. Dr. Faustus joined us after a while. Dennis left when he got tired, and when he'd all gotten the badges that he most wanted. Then after some confusion on my part, I switched to Peony Boffin, and we did much of a magic-themed story arc Peony and Dr Faustus's characters could work on together, all getting full credit. Though for some reason, it made me redo a couple of missions. We did one mission, and we'll redo the other when we start up again. We said goodnight between the two I somehow didn't get credit for. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony and melee-ranged Olga. I set Ana to passively working on the badges again while I worked on this. First, I wrote in this. After that, I shut down windows on my computer. Then I made notes in this, with only a brief break to check on Ana. I got done earlier than usual. I think minimizing breaks helps with that. 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 23, 2026

The night before Friday, i got to bed a few minutes before 2:15 am. I guess I checked too much stuff on the net while making my notes. I'll have to watch that in the future. Between lunch and the villain supergroup meeting, I fit in a nap, which really helped a little tiredness. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. We had a couple of new students, which is unusual this late into the session. I knew one from Wednesday nights, though we hadn't really talked before. We started fixing that oversight when we started dancing together. I also danced with a gal and a guy I often dance with, along with the instructor and his assistant. The other new student I've never seen before, but I talked with her after class. She seems nice. My main nurse took me home afterwards. I drowsed on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I read web comics over lunch, then took that nap. After the nap, I went back onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the beginning of the weekend in-game auction house on a few characters. Then I got melee-ranged Olga and went to the villain supergroup meeting. No one there, so I checked Discord, the chat server, in another window. When I came back, Patience had joined me. Our leader joined us as I was still settling in. We started roleplaying. Our most regular new member and Anya joined us. We picked a task force to run. Dr Faustus joined at the last moment due to their computer acting up. My game acted up in a different way but sorted itself out while I wondered how to fix the problem. Anyway, we ran the task force. Next, the group split up. I talked with Dennis and soon joined him in trick-or-treat and Halloween-themed missions on melee-ranged Olga. I got a few badges for her. We kept at it until I broke for dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I started reading web comics and ended up reading a lot more than I expected to, even after I started writing this up. I'm trying to catch up in one series that's really perfected ending on a cliffhanger, so once I started it was hard not to read another to see how that turned out. When I finished writing up this, I stopped the web comics as well and went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and a little of the earlier in-game, beginning of the weekend auction house. I ran a talk on Aneira Lloyds, and a little storage on her. Then I set her to starting work on a badge. I checked badges on Ana, my second-best badge collector. Next, I set Aneira to starting another badge. I checked badges on Anka, my very best badge collector. I found one badge she could get fairly quickly and got it. After that, I updated her badge record. I checked some other badges, but nothing looked quick enough for as late in the evening as it was. So, I checked and played Cross Stitch World, then set Aneira to working on a different badge overnight. Then I closed windows on my computer before I wrote a little in this. I made notes in this, with less checking the internet than the previous night, though even less would be better. 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 22, 2026

The night before Thursday, i got to bed a few minutes before two. Something worked slightly better! {Smile}

Over breakfast, I had my online counselling session. I thought it went pretty well. I told her things I'd done, then we talked about how that might affect things, and some possible next steps. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my main nurse took me to my doctor's. I read _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade in the car all through the trip, and while waiting in the doctor's office. My doctor says things look good, though he's trying to get an update from cardiology. Then we went to the bookstore the internet and a cousin recommended. They are paying well for Hawai'iana and collectibles, and maybe classics, but for other stuff, only store credit. Though I wonder if the answer is different for bulk, which I can provide. I just need to know how much they want for it to count as bulk. I'm considering other options, too, which sound like the internet. Though that is complicated by high shipping out of Hawai'i. {smile}

Next, I went to the public library. I returned two books and picked out five more. The library closed before my main nurse came back for me. While waiting outside, I met a woman who remembered me from the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. We talked until my main nurse picked me up and took me home. {Smile}

After counselling, I switched to my computer, where I read web comics through lunch. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Next came the trip out. When I got back home, I went back to my computer. I read more web comics, then went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Victoria, Ulty and Jenny's player. I got the new, lower-level Uncle Vincent, and did a few missions until dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, Forward Day by Day, and _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett. 

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse, Then I went back to my computer. I checked Discord, the chat server and answered Nox there. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I got Peony Boffin, one of my Hobbits. I did a timed mission on her, then a few not timed missions. Dr. Faustus joined me in one. After that, we did a couple of their missions. We said goodnight, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony, followed by crafting for badges on Emmy. Then I wrote in this. I checked Cross Stitch World before I notes in this. I checked more stuff on the net than intended while making notes. 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 21, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. I guess the internet outage slowed down my bedtime routine. {smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. We got there a bit early, and I talked a bit with my main nurse and the assistant to my Friday teacher before class. I am catching onto the moves nicely, an even got complimented by a few of the students I partnered. Bachata looks like it might work as a solo dance, much like salsa. I'll have to look into that. After class, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. I talked with my main nurse too much to read anything in addition. After breakfast, I went onto my computer and did a fair bit of research before lunch. I switched to reading web comics during lunch and continued reading them well into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Veronica, Ulty and Jenny's player, and talked with Ulty and Jenny's player. I also got ready to solo on Peony Boffin, but Perogies said hi and joined me on the way to my first mission, so I didn't solo after all. We did a mission and part of a second before Dennis joined us. The three of us finished that mission and did one more before I left for dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV and Forward Day by Day. Then I went to class. {Smile}

After I got back from class, I got onto my computer. I read a web comic or two, then went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I got Peony Boffin, and soloed one long, timed mission and two not-timed missions which were shorter. I checked and played Cross Stitch World before I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony. Next, I did some crafting for badges on Emmy Overstreet, my sixth best badge collector. I also did a little crafting for badges on Anka, my very best badge collector, and a little in-game auction house on Uncle Vincent, Anka's uncle. After that, I wrote in this and made notes in this, with aborted breaks to check stuff. I'm trying not to break in hopes it helps me get to bed earlier. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {smile}
