Daily Update, May 18, 2026

The night before Monday, I got seriously distracted while getting ready for bed, first by a video that was longer than I meant to get into, then by a trying to find something in City of Heroes: Homecoming. Because of these, I got into bed a few minutes after 2 am, instead of before it. At that, I think I can claim a partial victory for the speed of my note making keeping it from being more than a few minutes after 2 am. Still, I am trying to work better at focusing and getting to bed at least before 2 am. This is enough ruining of my recent good streak. {Smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau House for my First Timer's Line Dance class. It started with the announcement that this was the last class our teacher would teach this session. The next Monday is Memorial Day, which is a state holiday, so we won't have class. The week after, he and his wife will be travelling. They arranged for another student to lead us through dances that they, so we'll still have class, just with a substitute teacher. He and his wife will return by the start of the next session, a few weeks after that. Then we took class photos with them sitting in front. The rest of the class was normal, trying out songs from old favorites to stuff we started learning recently. After class, my relief nurse took me back home. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. When I got back home after class, I got onto my computer, and watched videos and read comics during lunch, and through much of the afternoon. I struggled with focusing on anything else until I got my act together enough to write some of Sunday's daily update, which had no writing from the previous night to help me. I talked with Kitten, Dennis, Shepherd and Pierogies, explaining that I was working on the daily update. That didn't speed up my writing, but I still got most of it done before dinner. I reviewed Forward Day by Day and watched the TV during dinner. I'd hoped to read a bit of one of the novels I'm reading, but the spaghetti needed a little more concentration to keep it from getting too messy than reading really allows. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and finished writing up Sunday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on my friends who play the game. I tried to get Kitten's and Shepherd's attention. Kitten said they were teaming but didn't respond again. So, I prepared a mission on Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member. Then I started working on a couple of badges on Ana, my third best badge collector. When I was nearing the end, Shepherd responded, as did Kitten. I dropped the project to team up on them and tried to find a mission Shepherd needed help with until he said he really wanted something quick before bed. I picked something Ana could get quickly, and we ran the mission. Next, Shepherd left. I switched to Aneira, and Kitten and I did the mission I'd prepared earlier. After that, then Kitten left because they need rest for plans for the next day. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira. Then I got Ana to finish the badges and updated her badge record. Next, I got Ivy, my fourth best badge collector, and got the same badges. I made a badge record for her, then found and did a few fairly quick badges on her. I updated her record, taking a fair bit of time to work on it. After that, I made a record for Nani'eleu, my 5th best badge collector more quickly, but not really fast. Then I composed and sent some notes to Pierogies on Discord, the chat server. Next, I wrote much of this before shifting to making notes in this. I checked Cross Stitch World before 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, May 17, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a while after 1:45 am. The next morning, I got up at 8:45 am. I may have been a little tired, but not bad, really. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. The service was nice. We learned about the newly elected Episcopal Bishop of Hawai'i, Guam, and Saipan. She will be the first woman to hold the seat. She'd been added after finding they didn't have as many candidates as they wanted. {Smile}

After church, I grabbed a plate of food, but my main nurse said he'd take it home. He took me to Pineapples, a local restaurant, where, after a wait, I met two other daughters of the King members, eventually followed by a third. Counting me, there were four. We had a nice, leisurely lunch with a lot of talking the whole time. Yes, only four of us. Between heavy rain, recuperating from the business of the bishop's election, one being on a trip, and others having family visiting, the rest didn't make it. Katie, who helped me through discernment for the Daughters of the King, took me home. {Smile}

When I got back home, I got onto my computer. I watched lots of videos and read some comics. Eventually, I wrote up Saturday's daily update. I talked on Discord with Kitten, Pierogies, Dennis, and Shepherd. I tried to get into City of Heroes: Homecoming but had trouble focusing at first. I checked on the in-game auction house. I also checked my friends in the game. I talked with Mysty and ran a couple of missions before dinner. I read Forward Day by Day during FDBD during dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. Then I went back to my computer. I watched videos and read comics. Next, I talked on Discord with Nox before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dr. Faustus fixing up the villain supergroup's base. I fixed a little in Olga's room on Hezabell myself. Yes, I fixed my lower-level member's room on my higher-level member. It was easier than switching. I also talked with Dr. Faustus, who'd joined a group for something. We teamed up and did a couple of my missions on Hezabell when we were both free. After that, Dr. Faustus left, and I started working on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then Seb said hi, and I stopped to team up with him. We started to do a mission of mine but got invited to do a taskforce. We joined them and ran it. Next, we did three of my missions before saying goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that I watched a longer video than I meant to watch. Then I made notes in this, skipping writing completely to try to squeeze it into less time. I took one break to check more on City of Heroes: Homecoming than I meant to. I finished my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King, getting to bed a little late. At least that's unusual now. {smile}

Daily Update, May 16, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I am feeling better as this becomes a habit. At least I'm hoping it becomes a habit, and doesn't lose to backsliding, like it's unfortunately done in the past. {Smile}

I didn't go out or anything. After going out for six days this week, I thought I could stay home one day.  My housekeeper did come and clean my house, and it is significantly better for her work. Now if it would just stop raining long enough for them to finish cleaning the roof. She was telling me about what still needs to be done up there. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day over breakfast. then I got onto my computer. I read a few comics, and browsed videos right through lunch and into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Friday's daily update. Next, I tried to get into City of Heroes: Homecoming, but I just couldn't focus. I wrote up some ideas about a story where I'm trying to find a better beginning. After that, I started talking to Kitten, Dennis, Pierogies, and Shepherd on Discord, and tried to get into City of Heroes: Homecoming again. I checked the in-game auction house on several characters. After that, I remembered a character who had a mission that had to be done solo. I found the m, ran the mission, and failed, so I ran it again, figured out the trick, and got it done handily. Then I worked on a bit of storage on some characters until dinner. I read a bit of a novel, _Avalanche_ by Mercedes lackey, with Cody Martin, Dennis Lee, and Veronica Giguere. It's book 5 of their series, The Secret World Chronicle. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back onto my computer. I tried to get back into City of Heroes: Homecoming but just checked a bit with the in-game auction house before I got drawn into reading comics and watching videos. I found Dennis saying he was leaving City of Heroes for the night just as I was getting back to it. I had to say goodnight. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I checked on the in-game auction house and storage on several characters. Next, I went over to Discord to chat with Nox briefly. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. to find Dr. Faustus had just said hi to Seb's Marius and me. I teamed up with Dr. Faustus on Hezabell, my higher-level villain supergroup member, while Seb took Marius offline to concentrate on another character. Dr. Faustus and I finished one contact of Hezabell's and started another before Dr. Faustus left for the evening. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on several character. Then I checked Cross Stitch World. Next, I wrote a fair bit in this before switching to taking notes in this. I finished the evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 15, 2026

The night before Friday I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I'm getting really comfortable with this schedule, though I can't shake the feeling that I really ought to try a little earlier. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance class. Despite running slightly late getting ready, I got there a little early... and when the only person already there was the teacher. Others did arrive, though late and fewer than sometimes, maybe because it was raining. It was a good session. I am working on remembering the last couple of beginner's steps, and the first few intermediate steps. At least one couple IS getting into intermediate, but likes to try with different partners, I think to get it down better. I like helping out there. my main nurse took me back home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World both down and back. {Smile}

Back at home, I got onto my computer. I had lunch while reading articles and watching videos. Then I read a few comics and wrote a few lines of Thursday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to my villain supergroup meeting on melee-ranged Olga. Not finding anyone, I went back out to do the in-game auction house for the characters who could do some. I also checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Mysty. I got the password to enter the base, and lead Mysty and one friend of hers to the meeting. Dr. Faustus, our long-term regular, our leader, Seb's Marius and a new returnee were there. We roleplayed, then ran a mission of mine with a full team. The recent new addition wanted to join, partway through but we had to wait until we were doing something that wasn't limited to one team. After my mission, we formed a small league to initiate Mysty and her friend through roleplaying. Next, the leader and the new returnee left. Dr. Faustus showed our three newest members some private room possibilities. Mysty, her friend, and the slightly older new gal chose one room near Olga's. Marius and our long term regular went to Marius's room. I checked on them, and found they were talking about vampire things, both being vampires. Olga isn't, so I checked on the others. We roleplayed happily. When I got called to dinner, I had my character lie down and rest while I went and ate. I read forward Day by Day during, and shared with my main nurse, because I thought he'd enjoy the humor. He did. It fit particularly well with British humor, and he's British. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished writing up Thursday's daily update before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I tried to rejoin Mysty and friends, but their roleplaying had turned private. So, I checked on Marius and joined him. We talked, then went to a player-run cafe he likes for more roleplaying. Eventually it began to wind down. We left together and talked in Olga's room. We discovered that from my room we could talk with the new gal, who was still roleplaying with Mysty in their room. It was actually kind of fun talking while being in different rooms, since we weren't talking about anything so private we minded them hearing, but we'll have to watch that in the future. Then Mysty and the other gal said goodnight. Seb and I talked before we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage. Next, I wrote in this. I took a break to read comics before I made notes in this. 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, May 14, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. Not much, but hey, I met my first goal yet again. Maybe this really is becoming a habit. {SMILE}

A while after lunch, my main nurse took me down to First Hawaiian Bank, where Mom's trust and I have an account each. We checked to make sure that everything is in order, since it wasn't for a while. Yes, we got it fixed again. now I just need to establish another good habit: checking frequently enough that this isn't a problem. After that, we went over to the Ice Cream Parlor in Lili'okalani Gardens. I was in a mood for a pulpy popsicle. They had banana and mango, and I'd had banana last. So, I picked out a mango popsicle that I ate on the way home.  In the car, on the first two legs of the trip, as well as after I finished my popsicle, I played Cross Stitch World. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I browsed articles and videos through lunch.  Then I wrote up Wednesday's daily update and read a couple of web comics before we went out. After we got ack, I watched a few more videos. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and mewed at Kitten, who didn't respond. So, I said I was in the game in the conversation I have on Discord, the chat server, with Kitten, Pierogies, and Dennis. Dennis came into Homecoming and got Kitten to join him. I joined them on Valentina Matos, my newest end-game character. We did two or three of Dennis's missions. Shepherd joined us after one or two. Then I stopped for dinner. During dinner, I got back to _Demon World Boba Shop Vol. 1_, the novel I was reading recently. {Smile}

After dinner, I got back onto my computer. I watched a couple short videos, and checked Discord, where Dennis suggested adding Shepherd to our conversation. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found and talked with Shepherd and Kitten and added Shepherd to that conversation on Discord between Kitten, Pierogies, Dennis and me. Then I teamed up with Kitten with me on Seameownt, the character they designed. We ran a mission that was the last mission from a contact. Next, we worked on a contact where I was half through a strong story arc. Dr. Faustus joined us, with Dragons joining us just a mission or two later, and Dragon's friend joined us soon after. We finished that contact and started a sequel contact with a similarly strong story arc. Kitten dropped out when they got too tired. Dr. Faustus dropped out when we finished the sequel contact. After he did, Dragons suggested we start a set of story arcs they could get. We did the first story arc, and part of the second before they left. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on Seameownt, Nani'eleu, and Valentina. Then I checked Cross Stitch World. Next, I checked a few more characters, and worked on crafting and storage on Octavia Ballad, the moderately low-level, late-teenager I've been teaming with one of Dr. Faustus's moderately low-level characters on. Then I wrote in this before shifting to making notes in it. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayers, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 13, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to be several minutes before 2 am. I got up at 9am, for my usual amount of sleep, and felt pretty well rested. Meeting my first goal regularly is working out pretty well. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. We arrived a bit early, so we waited until they opened up, then went in. The classes went well. The first class, we had almost enough men; with only one gal taking lead, there were one-to-two-gals dancing solo at a time. In the second, we all had a partner, even me, thanks to a guy joining who had to catch up. I danced with him, and got better, though one of the assistants helped him learn a turn I'm still struggling with because of my vertigo. I hope I'm getting closer. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos into lunch before I switched to comics. A while after lunch, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update, with breaks to read more comics, and to talk with Kitten on Discord, the chat server. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming later than usual. I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Dennis a little on Discord, until he came into City of Heroes: Homecoming. We teamed up and did a mission of his. Kitten joined up near the end, but I accidentally ended the mission before she came in. So, we left and did another mission that ended as I got called to a slightly early dinner. After dinner, I went to my dance classes. {Smile}

After I came back home from class, I got onto my computer. I responded to Nox on Discord and watched a video before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Seb and I teamed up with Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, and the character who is both her coworker and her school mate. We did a couple of my missions, then said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira, with a break to check and play Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote a bit of this and switched to making notes for the rest of this. 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, May 12, 202

 The night before Tuesday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I'm very happy this is becoming a habit. {Smile}

My relief nurse took me down to creative writing before lunch. Class went well. I shared an article that's basically a write up of what I'm finding as I research the snow goddesses of Hawai'i. Yes, Goddesses. Apparently the well-known Poliahu has at least three friends who are goddesses in their own right, with similar purview. The lecture was interesting, and the section where we share in groups was very helpful. I hope I helped my classmates, too. My relief nurse took me back home after class. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down. and the way back. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I found an email from a friend from church. The writing class they're taking overlaps with the one I'm already in, but I hope to check it out between sessions. After returning from class, I got onto my computer. I browsed videos and articles, then went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to my teen supergroup meeting. No one was there, so I stepped away. I came back later than I meant, to find our most regular member had come in and greeted me. We started talking while I checked who else might be on. Jenny's player was one, but she was busy visiting with a friend she rarely sees these days, so I wove that into roleplaying. Ulty wasn't on, but I got in touch with her on Discord, the chat server. She needed some "me time," so I wove that into our roleplaying, too. The new gal was finishing a taskforce. I started taking our most faithful regular to get the easy parts of two multi-badge badges that improve characters. We finished the preparation for a badge that has little easy stuff. Then we started a badge that has a lot of easy stuff. The new gal joined us after we'd gotten a few badges, so we redid them, then got most of the rest. I talked with Seb and Dennis while doing this. Three badges for the badge we were working on take more effort. The others had the same two already, so we started work on the last badge they needed. We made progress but had over halfway to go when I was called to dinner. Our faithful regular was tired enough that he went to bed. Our new gal figured she'd stop, too. They'll work on it on later. {smile}

Dinner was tacos with my relief nurse. We watched TV, and I read a story based on a legend about Poliahu, the goddess of Mauna Kea and its snow. After dinner, I went back to my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I also checked the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I got invited to a taskforce and ran it. Next, I did more of the in-game auction house and storage until Seb said hi. We teamed up and did a couple of missions, roleplaying on the side after working out we knew each other through both work and school. I loved playing coworkers and classmates. After that, we said goodbye. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage. Then I wrote in this before switching to making notes. After that, I answered the email from my friend from church. 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, May 11, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed barely before two, but it was before two. So, I met my first goal. I'm re-thinking whether I want to go to 8:30, or even a bit earlier. I'll see. {Smile}

Right after Breakfast, I called my financial adviser. She was actually free, so they transferred me to talk to her directly, instead of taking a message or having her call me back. That was a pleasant surprise. {Smile}

A while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my First Timer's Line Dancing Class. I arrived slightly early. It went very well. Two dances were new to us: one that was just a month old, and the other that's been around, but we hadn't done it before. They and the rest were all fun, though one was a bit fast, especially when done to the faster of two pieces it fits. After class, my relief nurse took me home. {Smile}

I forgot that I had a dental appointment. They called to reschedule when I didn't show up. It will be a few months before they had a couple of opening. I took the second one because it fits my schedule better. I talked with my relief nurse, and we're planning more calendars to keep track of this better, as well as doing a better job of checking those calendars. If I had checked properly, I should have seen it, since it was marked. {smile}

After I got home, I read Forward Day by Day over lunch, which I ate with my relief nurse. Then I went onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos and read comics through much of the afternoon, both before and after the call from my dentist's office rescheduling my appointment with them. Eventually I wrote up Sunday's daily update. I realized it was too late to play City of Heroes: Homecoming before dinner when that was done. I told a few friends I'd be late. Dennis was sorry but warned me he might not stay on long enough to team after dinner. I wished him a goodnight. I tried to read some books during dinner but didn't get far with anything. {Smile}

After dinner, I read a few comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and didn't find Dennis. I talked with Seb, Jenny's Player, and Ulty. All seemed busy, so I decided to collect a couple of badges on my second-best badge collector. I got one of the badges before Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked about teaming up while I worked on the other badge. I got the second and last badge I was working on just as I was getting ready to quit and team up with Dr. Fautus. We did team up after that and ran a contact of mine who had a story arc until we finished the story arc and a couple of individual missions afterwards, finishing the contact entirely. Next, we started anther contact. Somewhere along the way. Seb joined us. A few missions into the second contact, Dr. Faustus left. So did Seb. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, crafting, as well as working on a few badges. After that, I read comics, watched a few videos, and browsed on Amazon. Then I wrote in this, switching to making notes in this after a while. I checked and shut down CoH:H in a couple of breaks. 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, May 10, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a little after 1:30. Between 1:30 and 1:45 is my second goal, so I was very happy, especially since I thought I could sleep to my usual Sunday time of 8:45 am and the get to church about when it begins. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. It had started at 9 am, not 10 am, as it does once a month, so we can see some folks who normally go to the early service, and they can see some of the folks who go to the later service. It was also Morning Prayer, which is a shorter service than Holy Communion. Between those two facts, it was almost done.  I did get the personal announcements, the last few prayers, the final hymn, and the dismissal, so I didn't miss everything, at least. {Smile}

I had the full lunch on the lanai, and it was big, as it usually is after a combined service. I talked with Katie, with the Daughters of the King. She offered to take me to the special lunch next week after the service, then to take me home. I told her to consult Steve, since he handles my transportation. She did, and he agreed to her plan, so I have that to look forward to. I sat with Auntie Barbara, and the friends Babs, her hanai granddaughter, and I made at the last joint service, though Babs and her hanai granddaughter weren't there. I chatted with all of them happily and even got invited to an online writing group by my younger friend. It overlaps with my in-person Creative Writing: Memoirs class, but I'll see what I can do, because it is more geared towards fiction, which I write. My main nurse took me home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my substitute relief nurse came to pick up her stuff. I'm so glad she could. When a nurse leaves, there's often stuff left behind. Frequently we don't get to return it. I'm so glad we did this time. {Smile}

Back at home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos. I also read web comics. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update. My substitute relief nurse came to pick up her stuff. Next, I cleaned up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house, and then my friends who play the game. I said hi to Seb and Kitten. Kitten and I teamed up with me on Seameownt, and ran a few of my missions. I finished a contact. I've been trying for a while to finish some, since five claim to be near the end. It was a relief to finally get one. {Smile}

Over dinner, I read Forward Day by Day. After dinner, I read comics and watched videos. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming before too long. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Seb, Ulty, Jenny's Player, and Kitten. Seb was roleplaying. Ulty and Jenny's Player were in a taskforce. Those can't be joined after they start. Kitten wasn't busy, so we teamed up again, and ran several more of my missions. I finished a second contact. Then Seb joined us We ran a few more missions, and I finished a third contact. I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere, though I still have a lot to do. Next, Seb went to bed, and Kitten went quiet. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Seameownt. After that, I wrote in this. I broke to start a bibliography for my little article. Then I went back to this. I finished a sentence, then switched to making notes in this. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I also checked the in-game auction house. I even checked Cross Stitch World before I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daugthers of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 9, 2026

The morning before Saturday, I got to bed several minutes before 2 am. That's every day since the night before Monday. I'm really noticing a lack of tiredness, and even some more energy. I feel much better Now I just need to keep it up, and dare I say improve it a bit? {SMILE}

I wrote a bit more of the little article I started earlier this week, about the snow goddesses of Hawai'i. I'd told a little about them, but now I added speculation about two more, and a brief summary of a known legend about the most famous one. {Smile}

My housekeeper and her husband came to clean the roof again. She liked my little article, and liked getting the expanded version, though she didn't have time to read it then. She did say she'd found a longer story in email, though she hasn't had time to read it yet. {Smile}

Not too long after lunch, my main nurse and I went out. We stopped first at the Ice Cream Parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens I tried a banana cream popsicle, which I hadn't gotten to before. As I hoped, it was pureed banana mixed with whatever they use for their creamy flavor, and frozen. I ate it on the way to Prince Kuhio Plaza. My main nurse and I walked around the plaza. Afterwards, we did a few errands on the way home. On all legs and stops for errands, I played Cross Stitch World on my phone, except when I was eating the Popsicle between the Ice Cream Parlor and Prince Kuhio Plaza. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day over breakfast. After breakfast, I got onto my computer, and read articles and watch videos, continuing right over lunch. Then I wrote up the rest of Friday's daily update before our trip out. After we got back, I talked with my Housekeeper briefly. Then I wrote more of the little article I started earlier in the week. I printed a copy for my housekeeper and gave it to her. Next, I got back onto my computer and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Kitten mewed at me almost immediately. We teamed up with me on Seameownt, the character they designed, and began running missions. Dennis joined us near the end of the second or third one. We fit in one or two more. Then I checked on my friends who play the game before I left for dinner. During dinner, I watched a show my main nurse had on. It was just interesting enough to keep me from reading. {Smile}

After dinner, I returned to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Dennis. He'd sent Kitten to bed when they fell asleep. Dennis and I teamed up finish a mission and do another, both his. Then Dennis left, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, Dr. Faustus said hi. I got melee-ranged Olga, and we teamed up. We continued the story arc we'd started with Mysty. She was busy when I checked. Seb chatted with us. He was busy roleplaying. He joined us after a few missions. Kitten joined us during the last mission, awake after a few hours of sleep. After that, Dr. Faustus left because of work. Seb left too, "missioned out." I switched back to Seameownt, and we ran three or four missions before we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Seameownt and Olga. Then I read an article. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to check the in-game auction house on a few more characters. I also checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I started writing this. I switched to making notes here. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
