Daily Update, July 12, 2025

On Saturday before lunch, I discovered I had let one of my library books get a little overdue (it was only a few days late). So, after lunch my main nurse took me to the public library, where I returned all the books I was done with and paid the little fine that had accrued. Then I picked out new books and checked them out. After that, I walked three quarters of the way around the courtyard in the middle of the library. At that point I realized it was blocked off to make a staging area for a Hawaiian music concert which was still getting ready to start. I walked back around, and started to stand near the back, but a man brought me a chair from a nearby table. So, I sat and started to watch the concert. {Smile}

First, we had a piece each from notable distracts and locations around the Big Island, going clockwise, starting at Hilo, where I live. I saw my nurse come, but he clearly didn't see me, so I went to fetch him. He came and watched the concert for a while, but he's fond of rock music, not Hawaiian music, so he left near the end of the tour. I stayed until they finished the tour. Then they got into a story about the next piece that turned out to be long. I went and got my nurse, and he took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. They were getting ready to close because it was rainy enough, they had few customers, since most are people who walk around the park, and that's mainly in better weather. (This is why I didn't walk around the gardens, myself. I'm also glad I didn't stay for the rest of the concert; they would have closed before I could get a popsicle.) I picked chocolate peanut butter, since they were out of chocolate fudge again. Then my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Walking around the library a bit and some mini-Kegel exercises were all the exercise I did, but with the dance class yesterday, I hope it won't be a problem. {Smile}

After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World. I also browsed the web and read web comics. Then before lunch, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. After that, I browsed the web some more. I read web comics and played Cross Stitch World over lunch. Then I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming, but only for paperwork before the trip out. When I got back from going out, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork and soon began to talk with Ulty and Jenny's Player. I also played by myself on the teen supergroup member, going after the Asian gang that loves tattoos, a mafioso family, and that gang that claims to use ancient fighting techniques. After that, I broke to start writing up Friday's daily update and got around halfway done by dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing Friday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I began playing by myself on the teen supergroup member's older sister. Then I switched to a character Kitten designed for me. Both these characters are mid-level. Then I switched to a moderately high-level character, but I didn't get far before Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up with me on my moderately low-level villain supergroup member. We finished the story arc we'd been working on. Dennis joined us partway through. Both Dennis and I gained a level each - one he wanted, but one I wasn't ready for yet. I quickly prevented that from happening again before I want it, since the next time would be more problematic than this one. I found I'd missed Nox on the chat server but said goodnight to be found in the morning. Dr. Faustus, Dennis and I finished a story arc about competing with other villains that Dennis had. It led into one I'd barely started, so he caught up. Then we did that one too, with Dennis and I both getting full credit. After that, Dennis and Dr. Faustus both left. I did a little paperwork. Then Dragons and their friends invited me to a mid-level mission. After that, we did two quite high-level missions that finished a story arc with a particularly nice reward, although it ran a little late for Sunday, especially when I still had to make notes for today's story arc, but I did that next, with only a brief break for Cross Stitch World, and still got to bed in time to be awake in church the next morning. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 11, 2025

On Friday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center, where I found the ballroom dance, cha-cha class. The instructor showed us the most basic step and a couple of different but simple steps, including a moving step and a slowly turning step. Then he left us to practice. A guy came over who was alone. I didn't want to claim him when there were a few other gals, and only one guy, but then he started dancing alone, and clearly needed help. I'm pretty new to cha-cha, unless you count the instruction in high school, from a P.E. teacher who knew sports better than dancing. However, I did a fair bit of partner dancing in my teens and twenties, only stopping when my balance got bad. I also got back to dancing similar things solo since my balance improved again. So, I went over and tried to help him. Then some others helped him too, and he and I both got the hang of three basic steps. Then he found a different gal to dance with, so I practiced a variant we hadn't tried on my own, as well as the three we had done until the end of class. I'm concerned that some of the fancier steps that that the instructor did for more advanced students might be beyond me, but I'll concentrate on what I can do as long as they let me. Afterwards, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

That was an hour and a half of dancing, and my main exercise. though I did do some mini-Kegels too. {Smile}

In the car to and from cha-cha, I played Cross Stitch World. Then after we got back from cha-cha, I played more Cross Stitch World, as well as browsed on the web right into lunch. I started writing up my daily update during lunch and continued afterwards, with long break to read several web comics. When I finished my daily update, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I checked my villain supergroup on my moderately low-level villain. No one was there, so I explored the supergroup base until the leader and a gal showed up. Dr. Faustus didn't come because his work needed him. The leader suggested either of a couple of taskforces, but we ended up roleplaying. The gal likes that as much, and I needed some to feel out my moderately high-level villain better. I switched to her after a while on the lower-level one. We roleplayed a good bit more. The leader left first. The other gal and I kept at it until I was called to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and made notes in this before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, then played more Cross Stitch World. Then I made more notes in this. After that, I said hi to Ulty, Jenny's player, and Nik, who was in the game to my surprised. I talked particularly with Nik, both in the game and on Discord. Nox joined us on Discord. I also fought the homeless turning into something alien and the gang studying ancient fighting techniques on my teen supergroup member. Then I joined Ulty, Jenny's Player, and their friends in a few individual missions, each built around a moral theme. When the group split up, I did paperwork. Then I browsed on the web and played Cross Stitch World. I tried to get back into the game and succeeded when Dragons and their friends invited me to a couple of particularly high-level story arcs. Since a few of them had the same ones, they got multiple very nice rewards in a relatively short time. Still, it ran late, so I snuck in notes in this while still playing, then got to bed a bit plate. At least I don't have an early morning the next day. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 10, 2025

On Thursday before lunch, my main nurse took me down to Clinical Labs. I signed in to get my blood tests. They had labs from my cardiologist. but not from my regular physician. Luckily, the office sent them right over when called. I guess they weren't out to lunch yet. We've tried when they were on their lunch break, and I've had to go away without, and come back another day. I'm so glad that didn't happen this time. They took my blood, which was flowing slowly for unknown reasons. Then my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

I didn't do any exercise beyond some mini-Kegels, but between Zumba Gold yesterday and Ballroom Dance; Cha-Cha tomorrow, I hope it won't be a problem. {Smile}

Between breakfast and the trip out, I browsed on the web, played Cross Stitch World, and chatted on the chat server. Then on the trip out, I played Cross Stitch World both in the car and in the waiting room. After I got back, I played Cross Stitch World, browsed on the web, and read web comics right into lunch. During lunch, I started writing my daily update. I took enough breaks the writing ran after lunch, significantly into the afternoon. Then I chatted a little on the chat server. {Smile}

Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I teamed up with Pierogies. We were both in the mood for badge hunting, so when I figured out that my best badge collector had a badge he didn't, I got my second-best badge collector for it. While we waited for Kitten to join us, I helped one of Pierogies' characters with a badge. When Kitten joined us, we went after a giant monster in the new zone. We realized we couldn't do it by ourselves. We called for help and got the monster, though I was the leader, and I failed to invite all who wanted to come. We each got a badge (unless we already had it) and other particularly nice rewards (whether we'd gotten them before or not). Aa few others stayed, including a distant friend, who took over leading We did a mission with zombies with extreme body modification. Then we fought a long-established but particularly rewarding giant monster. After that, several left. I switched characters to do a high-level individual mission before my distant friend and a friend of their left. With me leading again, Kitten, Pierogies, one good player on a new character and I did one more similar mission. Then we switched to missions in other dimensions. We fought a lot of robots, many of them steampunk themed, then we fought those body-modifying anarchists before I said goodbye and left for dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I chatted on the chat server. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I got out my teen supergroup member and hunted the Asian tattoo-loving gang and the anarchists who love body modification. Then Kitten said hi, and we teamed up. I said hi to Dr. Faustus on the chat server, and he came in and joined us. I switched to my moderately low-level villain supergroup member, and we did two of my favorite story arcs while "on vacation" in the hero section. First, we helped a guy find out how his father died. This involved rescuing his girlfriend a couple of times, since she kept getting caught by a gang of homeless that are gradually being transformed into aliens. Dennis joined us near the end of that story arc. Then we helped a gal by rescuing her father from that same gang. After that, Dennis left. Dr. Faustus, Kitten and I went back to the villain section to start a story arc about a gal searching for information about her brother, who she believes dead. Kitten soon left to rest, and a new friend of Dr. Faustus's joined us who was doing the same arc I was. We got partway through and stopped so I could make notes in this, and the new fellow could get on with his day. While taking notes, I slipped in breaks for web browsing and for minimal paperwork on City of Heroes: Homecoming. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 9, 2025

On Wednesday, late in the afternoon, my main nurse took me down to the butler building. When we got out, we discovered - as I tried to tell him when he turned wrong - that something I'm not involved in was happening there. At least we skipped any earlier detour. We just had to go around the parking lot over to auntie Sally's Luau House. where my Zumba Gold was indeed meeting. I enjoyed dancing with them again, for it is a kind of dance, if one that incorporates more traditional exercise moves, as opposed to traditional dance moves. We stopped a few times for short rests and water and had a toning segment with weights. I checked afterwards, and they'll be meeting there every time. That's different form First Timers Line Dancing, which meets a few times at Hilo Daijungu, which looks like a sort of parish hall of the Shinto shrine. After the class, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

 That was my main exercise of the day, though I did a few mini-Kegels, too. {Smile}

After my main nurse helped me clean up after breakfast, I browsed the web and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update over lunch and afterwards. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started with paperwork. Next, I teamed up with Kitten. We fought some evil cultists holding a university class hostage, some of those high-tech pirates, too, and some of the anarchists who love extreme body modification before I went to Zumba Gold. When I came home from Zumba Gold, I had dinner too quickly to go on the computer first. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and read some web comics. Then I started notes in this before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Dennis, Kitten, and Dr. Faustus, with Dennis and me on moderately high-level characters. We fought the magical, troublesome circus folk, and some of those nazis of dubious heritage, and the spider themed villain group, some of them in more than one mission. Then Dennis left, and I picked a couple of missions helping spies fight an international spy group. Then Kitten left for bed. Dr Faustus mentioned my moderately low-level villain supergroup member, but I asked about helping his new teen supergroup members. He got them, and I introduced them to each other. It's always amusing when a player's characters meet for the first time. Then we helped the lower level one with a story arc. After that, he left. I did paperwork. Then I made notes in this, with a break to play Cross Stitch World. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 8, 2025

On Tuesday after breakfast my relief nurse followed the directions on his phone to take me straight to Kamana Senior Center, where I had my first Creative Writing Class in decades. The instructor was a woman who's a professor at the university. She started with some recommended resources. She talked a lot about memoirs, which I didn't think of as creative writing, but okay. they had a break, since it's a two-hour class, but I didn't recognize it until it was over. During it, I answered most of the questions I was supposed to ask someone else and have them ask me back. I was certainly prepared when we interviewed each other. Then the instructor told us what she wants us to do before the next meeting, though she "didn't want to use the "H" word. At the end, I checked, and eating during class is fine. I'm relieved, because it runs right over lunch, and my body is a strict taskmaster about not skipping meals. After class, I found my relief nurse, who took me back home. {Smile}

I didn't get much exercise, just some mini-Kegels, but with a dance class the day before, and another dance class the next day, I think I'll be okay. {Smile}

After class, I settled in on my computer, and connected with Dr. Faustus, who asked which of two characters he should bring. I picked the one my character already knows, and we went to the teen supergroup meeting. We roleplayed, meeting Dr. Faustus's character. Then we helped the police in a high-level zone, which everyone could do. First, we fought magical, evil circus performers, then nazis of debatable heritage, and after them, some and some spider-themed villains, before we broke up a bank robbery. After that, we roleplayed some more. One guy left for bed as usual, and I broke for dinner, but not before getting Dr. Faustus to go back. He thought we were all leaving when it was just us two. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to group, which was still roleplaying. Then a couple more left, and so did Dr. Faustus again. This let the folks remaining talk about their reactions to his character, which were rather mixed. I suggested they meet his other character. Dr. Faustus switched and brought him, and we talked with him a fair while. Nothing is firm yet, but they want him to come back next week and see how he gets along with the larger group. Near the end, Phonso invited me and whoever I was with to a strike force Dr. Faustus and I switched to the characters we wanted to do it, and we helped a prominent villain and her boss with a bunch of particularly high-tech pirates who were cutting into their business. Both Phonso and Dr. Faustus left afterwards. I did a good bit of paperwork after they left. Then I started notes in this. After a while I broke to catch up on reading web comics. Then I finished notes in this. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 7, 2025

On Monday after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down a winding route. He admitted he had taken a wrong turn when we were on a street that we normally don't take to go to Aunty Sally's Luau House, where my line dancing class is supposed to meet most days. Then he ended up at the Butler Building where we sometimes danced last time, despite it being listed as being at Aunty Sally's Luau House. Thankfully, that is close by, in the same complex, so he still got me there in time for my first line dancing class of the quarter. I greatly enjoyed the class but was very glad they went over every song. Even though I kind of remembered them, the refreshers were very helpful. I learned that we're meeting elsewhere next week, and a couple more times later. I made sure my relief nurse knew about the other location when he came back to pick me up and take me home. {Smile}

Then in the afternoon, the gal came for Daughters of the King discernment. We worked through the next chapter, but there were so many quotes, and one... I thought they meant just about the whole book. the gal was satisfied with just a few lines, but I didn't think they made sense, stopping there. WE ended up skipping some readings and have one more section plus the questions to go. I guess this makes up for the times we did more than one chapter. It looks like I have homework reading stuff before the next discernment. {Smile}

Line dancing was my exercise, along with a few mini-Kegels. {Smile}

Both on the way down to line dancing and the way back, I played Cross Stitch World. When we got home, I had lunch. Then I played Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web until the Daughters of the King discernment, which wasn't a long wait. After the discernment I browsed the web some more before going into City of Heroes Homecoming. After paperwork, I got onto the teen supergroup member and started arresting members of three gangs: one that tries to recreate old-style fighting techniques, the anarchists who love extreme body modification, and an Asian gang with magical tattoos. Then Pierogies said hi, and we teamed up with my teen supergroup member, and one who's teamed with her recently. We fought worshippers of a pantheon of nasty deities. He was tired at the end, so we said goodnight. I'd gained a level in that mission, so trained before I went back to hunting for those three gangs' members until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed on the web and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Sunday's daily update with a few short breaks. The new focus on the stories and characters in City of Heroes holds my interest better. When that was done, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started with paperwork. I talked with Ulty and Jenny's player and said goodnight to Nyxy as I continued hunting the old-style fighters, the anarchists with extreme body modifications, and the Asian tattoo lovers until Dr. Faustus said hi just as Phonso invited me to a taskforce. I arranged for Dr. Faustus and me to do one with him, picking the more rewarding taskforce he mentioned. Phonso recruited a team, and we ran a long taskforce in a rather surreal zone where asteroids act like islands, but only on the top side. The sky is all orange there, too. After that, Phonso left, and Dr. Faustus and I did a story arc where my moderately low-level supergroup member helped a secret club before joining it at the end. I think everyone else in the supergroup already belongs to it. With that, I almost gained a level. Then he helped me finish gaining that level. He tried to help me start a favorite story arc, but I was too tired to enjoy it like I want to when we do it. So, we said goodnight. Then I made notes in this with minimal web browsing. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 6, 2025

On Sunday, I got up early, as planned. Then my main nurse took me to church right after breakfast. We got there in time to hear a good part of the sermon. We found Auntie Barbara and sat with her. It was a nice service. {Smile}

Afterwards, we had... I want to say lunch on the lanai, but there was very little protein, and limited fruits and vegetables, especially for someone who has to avoid onions like I do, so it really wasn't a full lunch. We still had lots of food. I touched bases with a couple of the gals in Daughters of the King, but I sat with Auntie Barbara and my main nurse, along with others. Auntie Barbara and I were thinking of visiting Charlotte. but when Auntie Barbara called, she was busy. She was free later, but Auntie Barbara lives too far out of town to go home and come back. We're hoping to do something in the week, or maybe next week. After we ate, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

I didn't do much exercise, though at least I got some mini-Kegels done. {Smile}

On the way to church, I watched the scenery. On the way back from church, I played Cross Stitch World, which I continued for a while after I got home. My nurse got me some stuff to supplement the food at church, so I finished lunch. Then I wrote up my daily update. I'm trying a shift in focus in my update, hoping to make the part about the games I play more interesting. Comments and suggestions would be welcome in this.  {Smile}

Anyway, after that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with a lot of paperwork and tried to get folks attention. Failing that, I researched and altered an old character I hope will fit into the villain supergroup, thought he more I think about what I figured out fits her, the less certain I am that this will work. Anyway, I altered her costume to look like the type of character I thought they'd be in the family of games the villain supergroup is based on. Next, Ulty invited me to a mission where four people act out the exciting parts in two movies. I did it on the character I'd altered with no trouble, getting all the badges, since this was her first time, and we did pretty well. After that, we said goodbye. I went back to paperwork until Kitten and Pierogies said hi. We teamed up with me on the teen supergroup member and started fighting the anarchists who like extreme body modification. She actually gained a level! I also set up a couple more contacts. Then we got invited to hunt a minotaur in a particularly high-level zone. Pierogies left, but Kitten and I joined the group after I switched to my best badge collector. However, I didn't get anywhere despite trying before I got called to dinner. {smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and notes in this. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I set up a couple more contacts for the teen supergroup member. Then I did paperwork and looked around. I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Nyxy. Then Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up with me on my little villain and continued working for a Russian scientist against a small group that gives him big trouble. We finished that story arc, despite running a little late. Dr. Faustus sped up the ending by breaking team, and finishing them off at level 50, which was far faster. Then I made notes in this while I talked with Dr. Faustus on the chat server, Discord. After that, I fixed up pills for the week before going to bed early-for-me. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 5, 2025

 On Saturday, after lunch, my main nurse too me down to Liliu'okalani Gardens. We walked around for a full forty minutes, stopping for popsicles when we got to the Ice Cream Parlor. I tried their Chocolate Mocha, in part because chocolate fudge was out. I could have had chocolate peanut butter, but I figured it was good time to try chocolate mocha. The notable coffee flavor was expected, but not my favorite. Still, it's chocolate, so I'll probably have it again occasionally. After we got back to the car, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

That walk was my exercise for the day, or my main exercise. I also did a few mini-Kegel exercises. {Smile}

After breakfast, I browsed the web, but mostly I played Cross Stitch World until lunch. I wrote my daily update over and after lunch, then too the trip out, with Cross Stitch World both on way down and way back. When we get back, I played a little more Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started with paperwork. I tried to get Kitten's attention looked around. I spotted an especially tough version of a taskforce that goes back in time to discover that Nazis who've gone back in time manipulate a governor in ancient Rome. They promised an extra badge only available in the harder versions of the taskforce. My best badge collector didn't have it, so I joined it on her. We had to restart and lost the toughest character after starting the second time, and proving to them it really was tougher. We continued. I stayed even when my main nurse called me to dinner, until we finished the third mission. The leader and a friend of the leader insisted we couldn't finish the last mission, though others wanted to continue. So, I apologetically explained that it was over half an hour since I'd been called to dinner and left to eat dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I made notes in this. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started with paperwork. Next, I started saying hi to friends. Kitten, Dr. Faustus and Dennis said hi to me very close together. I teamed up with Dennis easily Kitten was with Jag, so adding them took a little longer. Dr. Faustus declined because he was helping a new player. Dennis, Kitten, Jag and I did two missions fighting some nazis together. Then Jag left. Dennis, Kitten and I did another mission or two. Somewhere in the 3-4 missions we did, we shifted from fighting Nazis to fighting a particularly corrupt corporation. Then Dennis left, Kitten and I joined Dr. Faustus. with me switching to the teen SG member's slightly older sister and helped him and the new player fight some anarchists into extreme body modification. Then the new player and I both made a transition to a post-apocalyptic alternate dimension. The new player left. I switched to the moderately low-level villain member, and we did some missions of hers, do errands for a less than ethical biologist. Dragons joined us then left again when they couldn't get Dr. Faustus to add a friend of theirs while he was busy fighting. After that, Kitten and Dr. Faustus regretfully left, and I joined Dragons and their friend on a fairly high-level hero for several missions, mostly fighting particularly tough villains of that post-apocalyptic dimension, some very quick. Then I left to do some paperwork, followed by making notes in this, with pauses for web browsing. I went to bed somewhat early because I knew church was starting early the next morning. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 4, 2025

Friday was Independence Day int eh United States, including Hawai'i, where I live. I hope you had a happy fourth of July. If you didn't celebrate it, I hope you had a good day. {Smile}

I didn't do any exercise. Between the walking around two large stores that I did on Thursday, and our usual walk around Liliu'okalani Gardens that my main nurse and I usually do on Saturday, I hope a day off won't be too bad. Besides, next week I start two dance classes, which should take care of any problems with insufficient exercise for the next nine weeks. {Smile}

After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web until I gave up on being productive without more sleep and went to take a nap. I'd gone to bed late the night before, because of all the help Dr. Faustus gave me in helping my moderately low-level villain supergroup member settle into the group and feel more comfortable with them. I had lunch immediately after the nap while browsing the web some more and playing more Cross Stitch World. a little later, I began writing up my daily update. Before I finished, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started with paperwork. Then I checked around and said hi to Kitten. We teamed up and did one or two individual missions on my teen supergroup member, getting her roughly half-way to the next level before Kitten admitted to being too tired to continue. They went to rest, hoping to be back. {Smile}

I did some more paperwork, then checked on the villain supergroup through a group they have on the chat server. Only Dr. Faustus and I were available. He wanted to talk through the chat server - yes, it's possible to do voice over it - a little later in the afternoon. In the meantime, I joined a group doing the pair of high-level taskforces. After that, I did more paperwork, and tried talking with Dr. Faustus on the chat ser. However, between low fidelity in our connection and my severe hearing loss, I asked to switch to text, which worked better for me. We began working out details about two of my characters, the moderately low-level villain supergroup member. This involved reading up on a game the group started out being based on... well, kind of. The group was specifically based on the vampire part at first, but i found better answers for my characters in the part on the fey - the magical people. This took me right up to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World, then finished writing up Thursday's daily update before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then someone invited me to that pair of high-level taskforces. I ran it with them. Dr, Faustus said hi near the end. I teamed up with him afterwards. We finished two mostly done contacts for my moderately low-level villain. She has one more before I want her to go up a few levels. Then Dr. Faustus left to deal with work, suggesting I join a taskforce, which I did. Afterwards, I did paperwork and made notes in this, getting to bed a little late, but not as bad as the previous night. {Smile}

Daily Update, July 3, 2024

On Thursday, late in the morning, my main nurse took me down to Safeway to get prescriptions and a sandwich for lunch. I discovered my phone needed recharging while waiting for my main nurse to finish shopping and check out. I'd finished draining it to dim playing Cross Stitch World but did manage to finish the color I was working on with it dim. Next, we went to Target, as we'd already planned. I picked up two charger plugs and one cord. Then I picked out a couple of books while waiting for my nurse to finish shopping. After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

My exercise was walking around Safeway and Target, and between the stores and back. It was actually a fair bit of exercise. Most drive between the stores, though they technically share a parking lot, because it's not shaded, let alone air conditioned, and Target's door is on the far side of a big store from Safeway. {Smile}

Before the trip out, I browsed on the web, played a little Cross Stitch World, and read web comics. After the trip out, I played Cross Stitch World and browsed the web right over a late lunch. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I noticed someone running that pair of high-level taskforces and joined them to run it with the team they formed. After a little more paperwork, I joined the later long, large-group event. Pierogies said hi, but we'd filled before he tried to join, and when a spot opened up, he was already busy. However, we teamed up afterwards, along with Dr. Faustus, and they helped my teen supergroup member one of her last missions before gaining a few levels done. I hoped it was the very last, but I discovered another mission before she goes up, and can't promise that's the last, either. Anyway, it was dinnertime already, so I said good night to Pierogies, and see you later to Dr. Faustus. {Smile}

After dinner. I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with breaks to browse on the web. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I started with paperwork. Next, I chatted with Ulty, Jenny's Player and Nyxy. After that, I teamed up with Dr. Faustus. However, as we were getting going, Phonso invited us to pair of high-level taskforces. We joined him and ran them with the team he recruited. Afterwards, Dr. Faustus and I ran through the rest of a moderately low-level contact and continued a second contact. Then we roleplayed, and got my new, moderately low-level villain supergroup member settled in, with me slipping in hasty notes in this while we did. {Smile}
