Daily Update, August 11, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed several minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal with a comfortable margin. I'm pretty happy with that. {Smile}

A while before lunch, my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing Class. I got there when just the teacher and a student from the last class was there. I talked with the teacher before class. I'm wondering about some frustration I sense from her. It's pushing me in a direction I wasn't thinking of going yet... but maybe that's just being in a class that's not exactly a match to what I want to write. she wants memoirs. I keep thinking about fiction. Anyway, the class went fairly well. We got a new sound system which did help us hear more people when they contributed. I think we heard our teacher better, too. The lecture went long enough that we skipped the freewriting to give enough time for sharing and getting feedback. only one member of my group had something to share, but it was long enough, it filled our time comfortably. After class, my relief nurse picked me up. We got small cones from Kosmic Cones, and ran another errand on the way home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and _Overgeared 2_, After an otherwise leisurely morning, I went to class. After we got back from class, I went onto my computer. I wrote a little more of Monday's daily update and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and went to my teen supergroup meeting on Aneira Lloyds, my highest-level member. Nyxy came in and said hi. Jawsome joined in; he might have been there when I came in, but I didn't spot him if so. Anyway, we roleplayed. Ulty joined us in roleplaying. We roleplayed a little more, then tried to get a taskforce that gets special rewards under certain circumstances this week.  However, it required a story arc no one had done. We decided to do the story arc together. Jenny's player joined at the last moment. Now all the characters who were there can get the taskforce. One did, and we did the taskforce. Afterwards, the group broke up fairly quickly. I checked on my friends who play the game, and worked ont he in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira until dinner. I had spaghetti with my relief nurse, his TV and _Overgeared 2_. {Smile}

After dinner, finished Monday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and found Kitten and Dennis teamed up together. We teamed up with me on Ana Marcelino, my second-best badge collector. I tried to find a mission that gave a badge Ana and settled on a story arc that gave a badge she needed. We three ran it, Next, Dennis left for bed. Kitten showed me a story arc with more talking than usual, and a character they really love. We did the first two mission twice, then the second mission. After that, we talked while I did the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Ana, and updated her badge record. We talked most of the time and continued after I was done. We finally said goodnight, and I closed windows on my computer. Then I wrote in this a while before switching to making notes to write from later. I also took a break to check Cross Stitch World. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 10, 2026

 The night before Monday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. I met my bedtime goal again. {Smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior center for my Frist Timer's Line Dance class. I arrived early, so I had time to visit with a couple of the other students. I thought the class went well. I did all the dances, including at least part of every "break dance," which is a dance we do when the teacher declares a break, then starts dancing, usually not on the stage he dances on during the official class dances. He also gives less instruction than the regular dances. If you can follow along, you're encouraged to. If you need a break, or can't keep up, you don't have to. After class, my relief nurse took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. I picked out a chocolate fudge popsicle. the clerk pointed out a new flavor: cookies and cream. I got one and had that on the way home. It was more or less Oreo flavored, which wasn't a surprise. After I got home, my relief nurse put my chocolate fudge popsicle into the freezer for a later date. {Smile}

That afternoon, I had a bunch of phone calls. I called my doctor and left a message on their answering machine letting them know that infection I'd told them about is getting better more slowly than we'd hoped. Then I left a message on my financial adviser's machine asking to talk to her. She called back later, and we had a nice talk about things we each need to work on. I hope I'm finally ready to actually work on things. {Smile}

I also called my cousin Kim, and we had a nice long talk. We caught up with each other and her pets. She even suggested seeing what someone she knows thinks of my writing. I sent her a copy of the story I'd been working on earlier this year and last year in my class. I realized I can keep more than I feared if I keep the original audience mix, even if I add a segment. This has renewed my interest in working on it. I lost interest when I thought I had to throw out the middle for a different audience, but embellishing it is okay. {Smile}

After I got back home from class, I had lunch with my relief nurse, his TV, FDBD and _Overgeared 2_. Then I went onto my computer. I read articles and webcomics and watched videos. Then I did the phone calls. I watched more videos and read more webcomics before I wrote up Sunday's daily update. I broke from that when I was called for dinner. I ate with my relief nurse. his TV, and _Overgeared 2_, carefully turning pages with a finger that I kept clean despite the tacos I was eating. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and finished Sunday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten and Dennis still playing, so I got Valentine Matos, a still-developing endgame character, and teamed up with them. We did one mission of mine, and a few missions of Dennis's, since I didn't remember to renew my missions until later. Then Dennis left for bed. Kitten said they were tired, then went quiet, eventually fading out. So, I worked on the auction house and storage on Valentina. Next, I took a break to read a bit of a story on Amazon. I eventually stopped before I was finished, because I had a few more ideas for freewriting. I sent it to my teacher for this week. After that, I went to Discord, and wrote to Dr. Faustus, apologizing for not being on when I usually am, and too late to team up. However, they thought we could team up to do the next mission for Topaz Proudfoot and her friends. We did, though we skipped some parts that folks usually do. I got a badge and finished the story arc we'd started the previous night. Then we said goodnight. I fixed up Topaz's storage and trained her for another level. Next, I closed windows on my computer and wrote a fair bit in this before switching to making notes to write from later. 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, August 9, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I still got up at 1:45 am to try to get to church a bit earlier, so I didn't get seven hours of down time, but I fixed that with a nap a while after I got home from church. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. I arrived during the processional, the very first hymn. It is just after the announcements, so I was late, but not very. I sat with Auntie Barbara. We enjoyed the service. For lunch after the service, I sat with her and a couple of other parishioners. I mostly listened to them talk. Afterwards, my main nurse took me home. I drowsed both on the way down and on the way back. {Smile}

After I got back, I talked with my housekeeper, who'd come with her husband. I went onto my computer to share Dad's recipes with her over two emails, since the first didn't seem to work. Then, after a nap, I made sure she'd gotten Dad's recipes; the second email worked. I must say the house is better for her attentions, and her husband's help with the laundry. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and his TV. After my nap after I got back home from church, I got back onto my computer. I read comics and watched videos. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update before I with into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I found Dennis. We chatted and teamed up. We worked on a mission which he wanted to farm, not finish. I left for dinner with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and _Overgeared 2_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read comics and watched videos. Then I talked with Nox on Discord. I said goodnight to Dennis by Discord, since he had to leave because it was late. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr Faustus and got out Topaz Proudfoot. I fooled around while he finished a taskforce or something similar. Next, we teamed up. We finished the story arc we'd started and did most of the sequel story arc... or at least half of it. We stopped right before the big finale, which might take half the time this usually takes. After that we said goodnight. I did some storage on Topaz, and costuming on a version of her that I don't need as her, turning her into an elf. I usually don't care for elves, but it fit with a power of hers better than my more usual gnomes, dwarves, and halflings. Then I took a break before shutting down windows. Next, I wrote in this, swiftly changing to making notes in this. I checked Cross Stitch World, too, before I said the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King to finish my evening. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 8, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am again. I thought I was running earlier, but somehow not. {small smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I went onto my computer. I read articles and comics and watched videos through lunch and well into the afternoon. I did take a break to play a character on the new account who I made to give the account her name. I finally got her out of the tutorial, and up a few levels. I even got her some boosts to help her for a while. Then I got into reading a story sample on Amazon that kept me reading, fascinated, but was too expensive to buy so I could continue. After the story, I wrote up Friday's daily update, finishing right at dinner time. I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and _Overgeared 2_.

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also talked with Nox on Discord. Then I checked on my friends in City of Heroes: Homecoming again. I started to play Topaz Proudfoot. I got back to the story arc she'd started the other night. I got invited to another story arc someone was doing while I was doing the last mission. I finished my mission and story arc and joined them. Dr. Faustus said hi during the first mission, which went fine. I asked them to join us. The leader added them after a mission that went pretty well. The next two missions were much harder; hard enough for Dr. Faustus to leave in disgust afterwards. Or they would have if the group hadn't broken up before they could. I already meant to join them, so the quick dispersal worked for me. We did some of my missions, finishing the less connected stuff I wanted Topaz to do, and starting a story arc that we both enjoy. We also did one mission to start another contact. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Topaz. I checked the character I'd played earlier. After that, I free-wrote at length for my class. Then I did a tiny bit of writing in this before I switched to making notes for most of it. 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, August 7, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed just a couple minutes after 2am. I missed even my first bedtime goal, but not by much. I know I need to try harder. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Mambo class. I played Criss Stitch World on the way down. Class went well. I think I have all but one step down even when dancing by myself. I'm still working on the hammerlock. I first did it when I was six or seven, and really practiced it through most of my teens, but it depends on the arms so much, it's hard to keep track of the foot moves without a partner. I plan to keep at it. I eventually figured out how to shadow a crossbody lead, another step where the arms are important and it's really hard to keep track of the feet without a partner. After class, my main nurse took me back home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way home. {Smile}

After I got back from class, I confirmed that my main nurse had returned the overdue library book with a hold on it. Then I got onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos through lunch and into the afternoon. I also wrote some of Thursday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and went to the villain supergroup meeting. Seb was already there, so we started roleplaying. Dr. Faustus joined us, and our most regular new member. We continued roleplaying, and visited out-of-character, too. The leader joined us, as did Anya at the last moment. We ran a strike force together, chatting both in-character and out-of-character along the way. Next, the group broke up. I worked on the beginning-of-the-weekend auction house on a few characters. After that, I ran that story arc I'd done on Ana the other night two more times, getting four more badges. I did some crafting on her and auction house and storage on Olivia Ragnarson, then set Ana to working passively on a badge while I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house on a few characters. Michiel said hi, and asked to join me. I picked a story arc on Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, and we did the first mission together. Then he said goodnight and left. Next, Dennis said hi on Discord. We teamed up and did a mission of his. We did two in the story arc I'd started with Michiel next, but the second glitched, I think. I found out later that we missed the only battle in it. So, Dennis called it boring, and we ran one of his before we said goodnight and he left. I checked Cross Stitch World, and my friends who play City of Heroes on Homecoming. After that, I got Topaz Proudfoot and did a hunt. Then I started a story arc on her. Next, I worked on the in-game storage on her, Aneira, Ana, and Olivia, and updated Ana's badge record. After that, I did a little shopping on Amazon before I wrote a little in this and made many notes in this. I took a break in writing notes to shop a little more on Amazon. 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, August 6, 2026

 The night before Thursday, I got to bed just a few minutes before 2 am. i made my first bedtime goal. {Smile}

In the afternoon, well after lunch, my main nurse took me down to the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library. I read _Overgeared 1_ on the way down. I returned _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_. then found a place to sit and finished _Overgeared 1_. Then I picked out a few books and figured out which I actually wanted to take home. I returned the others to a cart and went to check out my picks. They informed me that two books were overdue. However, one could be renewed, and they did so before I quite asked. The other, though has a hold on it, so it can't be renewed. I asked which one it was. They said _Frieren: Journey's End_. I asked again which one it was, and they repeated _Frieren: Journey's End_. I explained that I have three volumes by that title, so I need to know more than the series. They said number 3, and I promised to bring it soon. then I sat and read _Fairy Cat 1_ until my main nurse came and got me. I was over halfway through and read more on the way home. When I got home, I found the three Frieren books and gave both manga - 2 and 3 - to my main nurse to return while I'm at class. I kept the light novel for now. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read comics and a few articles. I did take a break to check the auction house for Topaz Proudfoot but otherwise continued right through lunch. In the afternoon, I started writing up the rest of Wednesday's daily update. I stopped for our trip out. When I got back, I finished writing up Wednesday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Dennis and Kitten. Dennis responded, inviting me to the team he had going with Kitten. I got Serena Bianchi, who's working on the badge at least Dennis was working on, I had her using a hero name, but Kitten had the same bad association that Dennis did a while back. I really need to find a better name. We ran a mission before Kitten left for the late long, large-group event. Then Dennis and I did one more mission that ended right as I was called to dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, _Fairy Cat 1_, which I actually finished, and _Overgeared 2_, which I barely started. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer to shop on Amazon before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer again. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Kitten in an extra tough zone on a full team. I got out Ana Marcelino, my second-best badge collector, and joined them when a spot opened up. We ran a couple of missions before the team broke up. Next, I talked with Kitten, and we ran four more missions, getting both of us a badge we both didn't have. After that, we hunted "pinatas", finding the two I still needed for another badge. We ran a story arc, getting her three more badges, but Kitten went quiet before the last mission started. I waited, but eventually ran it without them, and got the three badges. Then I took a break, checking Cross Stitch World among other things, hoping Kitten would come back. They faded out instead. So, I ran it again for two more badges. It was too late to continue, so I left two more runs and four more badges for another day. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting Ana had accumulated. I also updated Ana's badge record; she got nine badges that day, I think. I did a little storage on Olivia Ragnarson, too. Next, I played a little Cross Stitch World as part of a break. After that I wrote in this, switching to making notes to finish. I closed windows in the middle of taking notes. 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, August 5, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed just after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal, but not by much. {small smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my Ballroom Dance classes. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down, despite a low phone battery. I arrived a bit early, and settled in. That included plugging in my phone to charge during class. Then our main Nightclub Twostep teacher asked to dance it with me. We reviewed the known moves and tried a few new once. I thought I did pretty well. I also thought I did even better when we covered them in class, so I knew what to expect. That went pretty well. So did cha-cha, though we were slowing down as the evening failed to cool down as quickly as dancing heated us up. My main nurse took me back home. I drank the water I hadn't gotten to during class, then played Cross Stich World the rest of the way. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer I read comics and a couple of articles and watched some videos. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming to check their auction house on Topaz Proudfoot. Next, I wrote up Tuesdays' daily update over and after lunch, with breaks to look at comics. This went into the afternoon, but I did get back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten, but they disappeared. I also said hi to Jenny's player and got one of her accounts connected to my new account. After that, I checked and worked with the auction house on Topaz Proudfoot. I tried to find something for Ana to get badges, but what I found was that Kitten was back, and somewhat responsive. We joined a trial they were interested in, with me on Frederica Fernandes, my ninth-ranked badge collector, the first I found who didn't have all the badges. She got all three badges from this trial in one run. Then I switched back to Ana. Kitten helped me get two more badges on her. Somewhere in there, I got Jenny's Player's other account connected to my new account. After getting the badges with Kitten, I had dinner with my main nurse and his TV before we headed out to my classes. {Smile}

When I got back, I got back onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr. Faustus. We talked a little, but they were busy with a taskforce. So, I checked the auction house on Topaz Proudfoot. Then I checked what she could do next, and got the appealing stuff started. Dr. Faustus got free, and we teamed up, and did several of Topaz's missions. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Topaz, then updated Ana's badge record. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World and closed windows on my computer before I wrote in this, quickly switching to making notes to write from later. All while still chatting with Dr. Faustus intermittently. 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, August 4, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed barely before 2 am. I met my first bedtime goal, if not by much. That's good as far as it goes. {Smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing Class. I played Cross Stitch World and talked with my relief nurse on the way down. I was surprised to find that I was the first one there, but I got to talk with our teacher at some length before class. I ate lunch during class, which I enjoyed. I felt useful critiquing my fellow students writing. I'd taken some writing, but only about still trying to break writer's block, so I didn't' share it. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World and talked with my relief nurse on the way. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I emailed my work of the week to my teacher before I went to class. After class I got onto my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Pierogies on all three of his accounts. I showed him Topaz Proudfoot on my new account. We got all his accounts connected with my new one. I also went to my teen supergroup meeting on Aneira. Veronica was already there with Nyxy's Pella. Jawsome came just after me. I brought in Topaz Proudfoot to show the, and we got Nyxy and Jawsome connected to my new account. I also talked to Ulty, though she didn't come to the meeting. We got her other connected to my new account, too. Veronice, Pella, Jawsome, and my Aneira and Topaz roleplayed a bit. Veronica suggested a taskforce when we realized Ulty wasn't coming. I sent Topaz home, and I ran it on Aneira with the others, with light roleplaying and out-of-character visiting, Afterwards, we roleplayed a bit in our base before the meeting broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Aneira, finishing up in time for dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, and _Overgeared 1_. I'm really enjoying that manhwa (Korean comic book). It's a lot like some of the web comics I follow, including being manhwa. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I wrote up rest of Monday's daily update, with more blood sugar trouble and web comic reading than I like, but reading web comics is easier than writing while I'm coping with blood sugar trouble. When I was done with my update, I finally went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Dr. Faustus said hi. We ran three connected story arcs my Topaz could get, running quite late for us, but did finish them all. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Topaz. Next, I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. I closed windows and wrote tiny bit in this before making many notes in this to write from the next day. 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, August 3, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to be shortly after 2 am. It's harder to get to bed early the night before Monday because I have an extra medication to administer. However, that just means I need to try even harder. {smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Aunti Sally's Lua'u Hale for my First Timer's Line Dance class. I arrived early and watched a dance or two before class. I also checked the signup and signed up for Monday's class next session. They had two lists, for Monday, and Wednesday, and only one had picked Wednesday. I didn't. I don't think I could do that and my evening ballroom dancing the same day, and I'd rather do the ballroom dancing. I love interacting with a partner. I figure most folks will keep coming on Monday because it fits their schedule They can get into the next session easily once they're in, though you can get into either of them easily now, since Wednesday is new. However, that's either, not both. Anyway, class went well. I did every regular dance and got at least part of all but two break dances, not counting the two before class. After class, my relief nurse came and took me home. I talked with my relief nurse and played Cross Stitch World both on the way, and on the way back. 

At home, I had lunch with my main nurse, his TV, forward Day by Day, and the rest of _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_, despite having to run well past lunch to finish. I did enjoy that book. Then I went to my computer. I read a few articles and some comics but mostly watched videos. Next, I wrote up some of Sunday's daily update right before dinner. I had dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, and the beginning of the manga _Overgeared 1_. After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished writing Sunday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Ulty, Veronica/Anya, and Seb. I got one of Ulty's accounts, and Veronica/Anya's only account connected to my new account. After that, Dr. Faustus said hi. I got two more of their accounts connected to my new account. Then we played with me on Topaz Proudfoot, my new Hobbit. We finished all the content she needs to be not higher than five for and talked a fair bit about a game they've got me considering trying. I picked up the next contact and set her to go up a couple of levels. I worked on her storage while I continued talking with Dr. Faustus about the other game. Eventually, we said goodnight. I checked and played a tiny bit of Cross Stitch World, then wrote a little in this, soon switching to making notes to write from later. 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, August 2, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a bit before 2 am. So, I did make my first bedtime goal. I got up at 8:45 am because church starts at ten, so I didn't get quite 7 hours of being sleep ready, but it could have been worse. {Smile}

after breakfast, main nurse took me down to church. I arrived just as the announcements were starting. Auntie Barbra was still at the greeting table, and another parishioner was still helping with car doors. They congratulated me on getting there on time. {Smile}

I sat with Peg, and auntie Barbara sat right in front of me. I enjoyed the service. For lunch I sat with Auntie Barbara. My cousin Babs was nearby; with her granddaughter and two friends they've really hit it off with. I asked if she'd liked the books I'd given her, and she loves them, which is wonderful to hear. after lunch, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

When I got home from church, I went onto my computer. I mostly watched videos and read comics. I also checked out a few articles. After a while, I remembered to call my cousin, Kim, and did so. We had a nice talk. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update. I also did a bit of freewriting for my writing class. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got together with Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies, choosing to play Ana Marcelino, who is now my second-best badge collector. We had Pierogies choose the content, since he's on less often these days. We ran the first part of a Roman themed story arc until Pierogies left; he can sit only so long these days, which is why he's on so much less. The three left ran one more mission. After that, Kitten left to join the late-night short, large group event. Dennis and I talked, then said goodnight. Kitten came back after the late-night short, large group event, but just in time to say hi-bye before I left for dinner, which I had with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. I went back to my computer and drowsed until I treated my blood sugar. Then I did more freewriting for my creative writing class. I printed out the freewriting for class, figuring out why I couldn't get it to print the previous week. Next, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten unresponsive right where I left them. But Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up, with me on Peony. She has been my younger Hobbit, but I've made a second hobbit who's about the same age. We ran a story arc they'd made to show how Peony brought Topaz, my other young Hobbit, to the world of City of Heroes. It was hard for Peony and Dr. Faustus's character at first. Dr. Faustus suggested lowering the difficulty, but it was as low as it could go. When I told them this, I realized - and mentioned - that it might be so hard because we were mid-level and moderately low-level, kicked up to do high-level content. That improves what we can currently do but doesn't give us powers we'll learn later. They brought in a tough, high-level character of theirs. Things went much better after that. They can play more than one at a time. I don't know how to have them both contribute meaningfully to a battle at the same time, like Dr. Faustus, Kitten, Pierogies, and others can. Anyway, things went much better after that. After the story arc, we roleplayed introducing Topaz, my newest Hobbit, to one of Dr. Faustus's characters that she hadn't met. They showed her a bit of the game's world before we said goodnight. Then I did some auction house and storage on Peony, and auction house, storage and crafting on Ana. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World before I wrote in this. I switched to making notes in this to write from later. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
