Daily Update, February 15, 2026

The night before Sunday, I accidentally misread the clock and got to bed an hour later than I thought. I slept well but got up slightly early because I do on Sundays and had trouble moving fast. I got to church just as it was ending, since it was a nine am service, which they're trying once a month to socialize between the early service, and the late one. I sat with Auntie Barbara for the last couple of hymns. {Smile}

We sat together for lunch, during which the congregation rededicated our labyrinth after a new paint job, which it needs every few years. After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

At home, I took a longer than usual nap and felt much better. I woke to find my housekeeper working. She kept working most of the afternoon and the house is much better for her attentions. After I got up, I went onto my computer. I started with reading articles and watching videos, both on the web. Then I let friends on Discord know I was going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Next, I went into that game and checked for friends who play there. After that, I got a few badges on my second-best badge collector. Then I found Kitten, and we teamed up, but they went quiet before we could start a mission together. I found a couple of badges I could get by myself on that character. Next, I went to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found my character was still teamed with Kitten, though they were now team lead. I got kitten's attention. They were feeling better after sleeping. We did the mission together. Next, Doc said hi, and joined us. They started going through missions they had that get badges. I found a character who didn't have the badge yet for each, and they got the badges. All but the last were ranked badgers. The last was a hero mission that my higher-level villain supergroup member hadn't done, so I did it on her. After that, Doc showed me a few tricks to play that character better, and we talked about making a new version of my character while Cat went off to help someone else. Then I made notes in this. I took a few breaks, including one to set up that alternate version of my higher-level villain supergroup member that I've been thinking about, and one to pick up a couple of things I need on Amazon now that my checking account is in condition to handle that for a while. I finished my evening by reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Daily Update, February 14, 2025

Saturday was Valentine's Day, so, if you celebrate it, Happy Valentine's Day! If you don't, I hope you celebrated it, and maybe took advantage of the candy sales afterwards, as they're available. {Smile}

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a while after two am, but not as bad as sometimes. I still drowsed in the afternoon, while visiting with my cousin, her husband, and the couple who bought her father's house. I was more awake after that, though. {Smile}

Yes, I visited with my cousin on Saturday. She's on a short trip back home. She and her husband came over to pick me up right before lunch. We tried a restaurant that was new to all of us. The food seemed healthy, though my portion was a little small, though not too bad when supplemented with some of my cousin's husband's chips. My cousin and her husband had larger portions, so if I go back, I'll try the kalua pork wraps instead of the salmon open-faced sandwich. Then we went to Keaukaha, where my cousin grew up. We were early, so we drove around until we found two cars in the garage of her parent's former home. We stopped there and visited with the folks who bought the house. It was a nice visit. They were a congenial older couple, I think from Texas. On the way home, we stopped by ACE to pick up plumbing supplies. Then they took me home. My cousin got a picture of us together before she and her husband left. {Smile}

Before they came, I realized I had a puffy eye. We've been trying to treat it with hot compresses. It might be a little better. My nurse checked for medicine, but Safeway didn't have any. We'll see later, if doesn't clear up on its {smile}

Also, I realized that one sink was draining very slowly. I tried our plungers, which made it a little better. Next, I told my main nurse, and asked him to try the drain cleaner, since I didn't trust myself with it when I couldn't find the instructions. It got much worse, I'm sure through no fault of my nurses. It's just one of THOSE clogs. My nurse got supplies while I visited with my cousin. My nurse got the sink draining slowly again. I suggested leaving it alone until I can get a plumber. I don't want to risk making it worse again. Unless it really improves, I'll call the plumber on Tuesday, since I think Monday is a holiday. {smile}

Before my cousin came, I was mainly fussing with the drain, though I read an article or two and watched a couple of videos on the net. I also shared the daily update I pretty much finished the night before, just too late to share right then. After the visit, I went back onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies. I joined them for a hunt, but got called to dinner very quickly, so I didn't do much with them. {smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and talked with Dennis while He, Kitten, and Pierogies finished something I couldn't join in the middle of. When they were done, I joined them just in time to say goodnight to Pierogies and Dennis. Then I teamed up with Kitten, who helped me finish the story arc we'd started in the post-apocalyptic setting. We did its sequel, too. Then we did an almost villainous story arc involving stealing a diamond, but nothing worse. Dr. Faustus joined us part way through. We finished, and I said goodnight. I did some in-game auction house, crafting, and storage. Next, I made notes in this, a break to watch some videos because I thought it was earlier than it was. I hate mis-reading clocks. I read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer. I got to bed shortly after three, discovering it right when I was getting to bed, so I had no way to speed up. {small smile}

Daily Update, February 13, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a little closer to 2:30 am than 2:00 am, though in between. I tried to rest on the way down to my dance class, but at the beginning, I was mostly answering questions from my main nurse with my eyes closed. I did get some rest later in the ride. I rested after class much more successfully. My nurse had one more errand, and it was a long one. I woke up on my own about the time he got back to the car and really didn't need more rest later. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance Samba class. I got there just about on time and had a great session. Our teacher covered the last few beginner's steps. I learned the ones he introduced last time, and one of the new ones. the other new ones I can do with a strong enough lead who knows the steps, but I need to work on getting them down for myself. {Smile}

My main nurse picked me up and explained that the line for my medicine had been too long, so he still needed to get it. I said might as well get it now. I rested on the way over. Then he said I could sit in the car, so I rested there, too. I was actually finishing resting when he got up, and was reasonably awake on the way home. {Smile}

Near the end of my class, I got a call. It was Katie, from Daughters of the King. She had stuff for me from the chapter. When she learned I was at class, she said to call her when I got home. I'm glad she did, because I had no idea that errand would take that long. I did text her when I was home, and she soon came over to give me my membership pin and the introductory reading material. She helped me put the pin on. {Smile}

When I got home after my dance class and the errand, I got onto my computer. I started to read articles and comics and watch videos over lunch. This paused for Katie's visit. I continued reading and such through the rest of lunch and afterwards, then wrote up the rest of Thursday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming just in time for Div to say hi. We talked a bit, but he was just getting ready to head out, so we didn't team up. Instead, I did the beginning of the weekend work on the in-game auction house, then went to my villain supergroup meeting. They were already role-playing, so I joined in, but I'm pretty quiet. I did mention that I'd run into a fellow with the group we recently allied with who mentioned a character who might want to join. We went to their base, then talked to that group, and they came. They introduced a character who wanted to join, though not by the name I had originally been told. Some of our members were suspicious, but we have been trying to get new members, so I tried to encourage them to give him a chance. I think that's what we're doing. This carried me right into dinner, to the point I began eating by the computer. When the meeting was done, I carried my food into the next room, to finish eating with my main nurse. {Smile}

After supper, I read a comic and started writing this. Then I moved towards City of Heroes: Homecoming, but I kept getting distracted until I noticed Kitten complaining on Discord, the chat server. I settled down, checking on my friends who play the game, and teaming up with Kitten. they helped my best badge collector get a new badge - honestly, doing more of the work for it than I did. Then I switched to the character they designed. They helped me do the next story arc in that post-apocalyptic setting. Then we started the next story arc, but the first mission failed to complete. I tried to auto complete it, but that just messed up more stuff. Dragons joined us, and we ended up doing it again. This time it completed. We did one more, then I realized it was a good time to start getting ready for bed. I did some auction house, storage and crafting, then finished writing up this. It was too late to share, so I'll have to do that the next day. I just read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer to finish my evening. {Smile}

Daily Update, February 12, 2026

 The night before Thursday, I struggled a bit to get to sleep, being more than a little stressed over meetings expected the next day. However, the day didn't go how I expected it to. 

At breakfast, I checked my email and didn't find the link to my counselling appointment. So, I checked my phone and found a text. My counsellor had to cancel the appointment because she needed to be away from her computer at the appointed time. She confirmed the appointment we'd made for next week, though, so there's still that. {Smile}

At lunch time, waited for a call that was to involve my financial adviser, the head of the nursing company that takes care of me. No call came, so a little after the time, I called my financial adviser, and got the answering machine, so I left a message. Then I called the head of the nursing company. I did get her, and learned she was busy helping her brother. We agreed to talk later. Then my financial adviser's secretary called. My financial adviser will talk with me next week. I guess I was supposed to confirm the appointment time mentioned, not just note it in my schedule. Well, now I know. {Smile}

During breakfast, I got onto my computer and discovered my counselling was cancelled. So, I watched videos, and read articles, all on the web. Then I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, finishing right before the call. Then I found out the call wasn't happening. I read comics over lunch. After lunch, I tweaked my story briefly, then went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Div and Pierogies. Div responded, so we talked and teamed up with me on the higher-level teen supergroup member. We started with more missions in the story arc we started the day before. Pierogies joined us after a while. A few missions later, Div said goodnight. I discovered shortly after they left that the last mission with all three of us was the end of the story arc. Pierogies and I did a mini-story-arc of mine and one mission of theirs. Then he left too. I started collecting badges. Next, Dennis said hi, and we teamed up. We started a mission of his that I might benefit from. His friend joined us during it. The three of us did two or three more missions. Then Dennis's friend left. I had time for one more mission before dinner. After that mission, Dennis and I said goodnight. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I read comics and articles, and watched videos, all on the web. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also answered Nox on Discord, the chat server. After that, I began to hunt on a mid-level character I haven't played recently. Then I began collecting badges on the same character. Next, Pierogies said hi, but was collecting badges himself. So, I started doing some talk missions. Eventually, I joined him to check something and switched characters a couple of times. After that, I got a few more badges on the mid-level character from earlier while making notes in this. Then I tweaked my story briefly before I read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer to finish my evening. {Smile}

Thursday, February 12, 2026

Daily Update, February 11, 2026

 The night before Wednesday, I got to bed at the usual time, despite getting started a little late. I got to sleep not a slowly as sometimes recently, but nowhere close to fast. The next day, I wasn't tired enough for a nap. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. We were only the second car in the parking lot near the class, but soon others came. Eventually, someone came and opened up the building. My Ballroom Dance: Rhumba class went normally, with the instructor and his assistant teaching us some new moves with variations in some cases. But when it came to Ballroom Dance: Shuffle class, the teacher wasn't there. His assistant was, but as she explained - and I confirmed from personal experience - as a follower you don't have to know the steps all that well to do your job. Follow a good lead, and keep stepping in rhythm, and it will work out reasonably well, even if you're still learning, yourself. So, she picked one of the better students, who led us through practicing the moves we've already done. He was not ready to try to teach anything new, but he was very good at reviewing what we'd been taught. After the second class, my main nurse took me home again. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer, and started reading articles and comics, and watching videos, all on the web. I continued into the afternoon, I found Chrome, Pierogies, and Div, and started talking with all three. I teamed up with Chrome on my higher-level teen supergroup member, and Pierogies soon joined us. We did a mission or two together about his disappointment with the new public base system. I got them to invite Div after a while, but they both left shortly after talking with him for a bit. Then Div and I did a badge mission, and the first few missions of a story arc. Next Div said goodnight, and I collected quite a few badges on my higher-level teen supergroup member. I also wrote up and shared Tuesday's daily update before dinner. {Smile}

After we got back from my class, I got onto my computer and started watching videos and reading articles and comics. Then I tried to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming, but found myself answering Nox on Discord, the chat server, and reading another comic or two. Next, I actually did go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I pursued some badges on a few characters I've enjoyed playing recently. Then I began writing this while continuing to hunt for badges. Next, I read comics on the web. After that I made some more notes in this. I ended by evening by reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Daily Update, February 10, 2026

 The night before Tuesday, I got to bed a little after two and didn't fall asleep for a while. I must have rested enough while not sleeping, though, because I only rested a little on the way to class, and felt fine otherwise. {Smile}

Late in the morning, my substitute relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my creative writing class. The class was going, though a smaller group than usual. We started with telling how we'd done over the two weeks since our last class. Maybe some who were missing had trouble with the storm. The class went well. We had a nice lecture. Though I got a phone call from my financial adviser that interrupted my freewriting. I was happy though; it was good news from my financial adviser. When we shared our writing, I read the part after the part I'm trying to write, since it was more ready than the part I'm writing. Folks really liked it. {Smile}

After class, my substitute relief nurse picked me up after a short wait. My housekeeper messaged me while I was waiting. She was going to my home to work. My substitute relief nurse took me to the ice cream parlor. I picked out three popsicles: one for now, one for later, and one for my housekeeper. Then we went home while I ate the liliko'i (passionfruit) popsicle. I gave my housekeeper a choice of vanilla or mango. She insisted I choose, so she got the vanilla. {Smile}

Before class, I worked a little on my story, mainly making a few quick alterations that occurred to me in the night. After I got home and settled the popsicles, I got onto my computer. I made a quick, last-minute edit to Monday's daily update and shared it while listening to some Hawaiian music videos that I was too busy to watch. Then I wrote a little of this update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my higher teen supergroup member, and did a little auction house and storage on her. Then I went to my teen supergroup meeting. I got a brand-new badge, which was the first I knew that new badges have been added to the game. I found one member already at the meeting, and we roleplayed for a fair while. No one else came. When the other player sounded discouraged, I checked with Ulty on Discord, the chat server. She said that she and Nyxy weren't coming, and she doubted others were at this point. However, when I asked about a story arc that I was ready to do, she said to go ahead with it. So, I checked with the other player, and he was interested. So, we started it. Not long into it, Kitten mewed at me privately. I checked with the other player and invited Kitten to join us. The three of us completed the story arc, running late, but keeping at it. Then the other supergroup member left for bed, and I left for dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on my higher-level teen supergroup member. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten, who turned out to be hunting giant monsters with another player. I joined them, switching to my best badge collector and updating her badge record to include the recently added badges. Several of those dropped immediately for her, and a couple more were quick and easy to get. Dr. Faustus joined for the first one, but disconnected, and missed the reward. They weren't happy, since they'd messaged me on Discord about it, but I missed that, myself. Dr. Faustus joined again for the second giant monster and got it. Then they left. The rest of us got a third giant monster, joining up with another small team that was hunting it. Then we got a fourth, but it was particularly big. We had to recruit more. We got it after almost filling the team. Next, I said goodnight. I worked a bit with the storage and did a little with badges. Then I made some notes in this while working on badges and updating my badge lists for my second best and third best badge collectors. After that, I wrote a little more in this while finishing the badging and updating. Then I had a brief conversation with a member of the group of vampires that my villain supergroup recently connected with.  I made a few more notes in this, then ended my evening by reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Daily Update, February 9, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed not far past 2am. My goal is before 2am, but this is an improvement. I didn't need a nap, which is also encouraging. {Smile}

When I got up, I started looking into whether my class was cancelled. I found out that both grade schools and universities across the state were closed, as were many parks, but I couldn't find anything about Kamana Senior Center or the County of Hawai'i Elderly Activities Division. I finally thought about Auntie Sally's Lu'au Hale and realized that the parking lot it shares with the rest of the Ho'olulu Complex tends to flood in heavy rain. Even with my substitute relief nurse having a SUV, there was a real possibility that I would encounter difficulty if I went, so I stayed home. This turned out to be the right choice. in the afternoon, I discovered an email announcing that all Elderly Activities Division classes were cancelled for the day. Next time, I know to just check my email. It's a new situation, so I didn't know. {Smile}

I also called my financial adviser and left a message when I got their answering machine the first time. I called several more times, not bothering with further messages. Then I got a call from them around lunch time. This let me ask them to help me straighten out accidentally draining an account again. I know how to watch more carefully. I just have to do it consistently. {smile}

After I figured out that I wouldn't go to class, I settled onto my computer. I read articles and comics and watched videos until I finished writing up my daily update around lunch time. Then I read more comics and watched more videos, pausing to write in this at least once. Eventually I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and let a few friends on Discord know that I was doing that. I said hi to Ulty, Jenny's player, and Pierogies. Pierogies and I teamed up, and he started to help me with the story arc I started with Doc the previous night. After a mission or two, Kitten joined us. Then after a couple more, Pierogies left for bed. Kitten stayed, and we finished that story arc just as I was called to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote some more of this up. Then I read a couple of comics. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and Kitten mewed at me before I even started saying hi. We teamed up and finished the story arc in the post-apocalyptic setting that we and Pierogies had started before dinner. I also chatted with Nox on Discord, the chat server. After that story arc, Kitten and I did the next story arc in that series -- it's one of the longest series of story arcs in the game. We finished it, then stopped for evening. We chatted a little, and I did some auction house and storage, and set up the next contact's first mission. I also wrote some more of this update. Then I wrote a bit and researched more for my story before I read Forward Day by Day and said The Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Monday, February 9, 2026

Daily Update, February 8, 2026

 The night before Sunday, I got to bed right about on time... for any other day of the week. However, Sundays run early because church starts at ten, so it's still later than I'd like to, especially on a Sunday. I wouldn't mind waking up a little earlier every day. It would be nice to be able to arrive comfortably to something that starts at ten any day of the week. {Smile}

When I got up, my main nurse asked me to check to see if church was cancelled, because there was a flood advisory on. I did, and on the second try, found that the livestream had started. That was confirmation enough. My main nurse took me down to church. 

We arrived during the announcements. I sat with Auntie Barbara and enjoyed a nice service. Afterwards, there was lunch on the lanai, but I took my food into the room where the Daughters of the King were holding their monthly meeting. I attended the monthly meeting. Then Katie, who helped me through the Discernment process to become a Daughter of the King, took me and the other Anne home. I enjoyed talking with them on the ride. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read the occasional article and a couple of web comics until I finished writing up Saturday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my characters. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Pierogies, Ulty, and Jenny's Player. I talked briefly with Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked and got together with Pierogies. We did a couple of my missions. After that, Pierogies and I said goodnight, and Pierogies left for bed. I worked on auction house, storage, and crafting. Then I began writing up this daily update, stopping when my main nurse called me to supper. {Smile}

After supper, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I wrote more of this. Next, I answered Dennis and Nox on Discord, the chat server. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr Faustus, Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked briefly with Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked slightly more with Dr. Faustus, and we teamed up.  They helped me finish the story arc I had continued with Dennis the night before, which is set in the post-apocalyptic area.  Then we did the entire next story arc in an unusually long series of story arcs. Next, we started the sequel after that.  However, we only got two missions of this latest story arc done before Dr Faustus said goodnight and left. It was a little early for them, but we had been at it for a few hours.  I started to set up the next mission when the lights went out.  They flickered a few times, then settled into just being off.  I tried to continue to play with the help of my battery backup, but I discovered that I was disconnected from the internet, so I turned off my computer.  I took a break, then tried my phone.  It seemed disconnected from the internet at first but found it shortly.  I made notes in this on phone.  I'm so glad I charged it fully around dinner time, when I discovered that it was almost dead. I had plenty of charge during the power failure. I used it right through the power failure without worrying, and it's not even that far down the next day. With the notes done, I played a bit of Cross Stitch World. Then I started writing in this, converting notes into proper writing. It's slower without a full keyboard, but I managed. I wasn't quite done when the power came back. With the power back, I turned my computer back on. I browsed Facebook and found a video announcement from the governor about the storm that must have caused the power failure. He even closed the University of Hawai'i campuses, which may be a first in my lifetime. They don't normally close for bad weather. It made me wonder about my class the next day. I really must look into that before going out. Then I finished making notes in this. I finished my evening with reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Sunday, February 8, 2026

Daily Update, February 7, 2026

The night before Saturday, I actually got to be almost as early as my main nurse claims he'd like me to. Maybe the changes will work, especially since I thought of more changes to my routine that might streamline things. I can hope the changes work, but I actually feel that that might be more likely to than others I've tried recently: writing parts of my daily update earlier in the day. I'm hoping that will take less time in the long run than jotting down notes, then writing them up properly later. {Smile}

Late in the afternoon, my main nurse took me to a valentine's Party sponsored by the group that also sponsors my Wednesday night ballroom dance classes. When we got there, my main nurse helped me check in. I sat near a couple from my Friday class and talked with the gal. The guy didn't say much. They had a few dances before dinner, but dinner happened soon and mostly stopped the dancing. I danced a few numbers before dinner, and a few after. Then they had a raffle, which I missed much of because of needing the little room. Next, a couple sang a song I know well from Fiddler on the Roof. After that, we got back to dancing. I danced with several people, both men and women. Since there were more women and men, as usual, some women dance together, at least part of the time. I don't think I danced with the same person twice. I talked with folks a few times, too. I moved to sit at a different table after a few left, including the couple I sat with and my Friday teacher. I sat where my teacher had been to chat with friends at that table. I stayed through the last dance. My main nurse came in towards the end and took me home afterwards. He was greatly impressed with our stamina, since many stayed all the way from 5:30 to 9, even though it was an older crowd. {Smile}

After breakfast, I read articles, watched videos, and caught up on reading comics I realized I'd forgotten. Then I wrote up Friday's daily update, finishing just before lunch. Then I began writing this up as I began lunch. When I finished this, I shifted to chatting with Nox on Discord, the chat server, for the rest of lunch. Next, I watched videos on the web and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming to check the in-game auction house. After that, I went back to more videos. Then I wrote a little more of this and went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and spotted Pierogies and began to talk. He was waiting for the early long, large-group event. I joined it, and we ran it together. Then I sorted some of my storage while I talked with Pierogies. I'd just begun on the in-game auction house when Pierogies suggested doing a Valentine's-themed mission that is available for a little time. I found out more of my characters got it than I realized, but I finally found one who did have it. We ran one together, and I made progress on a badge that isn't done all at once. Next, Pierogies left. My main nurse reminded me to get ready for the party, so I quickly checked my friends who play the game, then broke to get ready. After that, I came back and wrote up more of this daily update. Then I did some in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on City of Heroes: Homecoming until my main nurse said it was time to go. 

When I got home from the dance, I got back onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles for a while as I settled in. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my characters, and then on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, and we joined a strike force. I almost didn't get in, but Doc saved me a place. We ran it. Then Dennis joined us, and we did a mission Doc had. Next, Doc left. Dennis and I ran one more mission I had. Then I ran a few talks while Dennis collected badges, because the talks followed directly on the mission in a story arc I had. After that, we said goodnight, I worked on in-game storage, then started making notes in this. I paused to work on the in-game auction house and storage in City of Heroes: Homecoming before I finished notes in this. Then I read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer to finish my evening. {Smile}

Saturday, February 7, 2026

Daily Update, February 6, 2026

On Friday, I got to bed normally late and slept fairly well. I was still tired enough to drowse on the way down to my Ballroom Dance: Samba class. I also napped in the afternoon. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to my Ballroom Dance: Samba class. I danced with the instructor's helper and two students - both gals - who I usually dance with. After class, my main nurse took me home, chatting much of the way. {Smile}

During dinner, I learned that organ meat may not agree with my stomach. I handled the beans and potatoes fine, but my stomach turned touchy as I started on a steak and Kidney pie. As far as I could tell, steak and pie crust weren't making it worse, but it was hard to pick them out. Thankfully, my main nurse gave some cheese, fruit, and crackers that agreed much more. It's weird; since I was a small girl, I could eat large quantities of milk fat in cheese and such with no ill effects, but meat fat is a different story. {rueful smile}

Before dinner, Auntie Barbara called, but I was busy in an online meeting. I called her back when it was done, a while after dinner. We had a nice talk then. {Smile}

After I got home from class, I watched videos right over lunch, until I started making notes in this. I'm hoping that making notes earlier will help me tame my sleep schedule. Then I began writing up Thursday's daily update. I paused to read three comics. After writing more of Thursday's daily update, I made more notes in this. Then I had my nap. Next, I read some comics before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and went straight to my villain supergroup meeting. I arrived slightly late. Dr. Faustus, our leader, and the other most regular player were already roleplaying. I joined in. Then, as we were choosing what content to run, two characters from the group we met with last week said hi. We gave them a tour of our base, showing most of the major rooms, roleplaying in character the whole time. I got Auntie Barbara's phone call during this and promised to call back at a better time. I showed our visitors both of my characters in the group this time. Dr. Faustus left after a while, but the rest continued the tour right into my dinnertime. I excused myself to eat dinner, which led to discoveries i already described. 

After dinner, I found they'd barely moved out of earshot and were still going strong. So, I rejoined the roleplaying, which continued for a while longer before breaking up. Then I called Auntie Barbara. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis, and we teamed up. I helped him with a seasonal story arc, but he was partway in already, so I didn't do it in the way that would get the badge involved, too. After we said goodnight. I did a lot of the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting, including the beginning of the week type. Then I continued my notes in this, with more auction house, storage, and crafting in breaks. After that, I read a comic on the web before I finished my notes in this. I finished my evening by reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
