Daily Update, September 19, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. That means I met my first bedtime goal. Unfortunately, the next morning, I got up thinking it was Saturday. I caught my mistake but somehow didn't fully make the switchover until I realized I was late for my villain supergroup meeting. {smile}

After breakfast, I checked Mom's books, picked out more mysteries, and put them in the box, including ones by Gerogette Heyer, Mom's favorite author. I can enjoy Georgette Heyer's romances, but not even she can get me into a murder mystery. I also picked out some of Dad's professional books, mostly medical or toxicological, which I gave to my main nurse, who is very grateful. Most are old enough to be hard to find. I moved four boxes of books - three duplicates, and one particularly large one of new pulls - to the living room. I'm working up to selling them off. I figure I need the space and money is nice, too. {Smile}

I ate breakfast with the TV and Forward Day by Day, since my main nurse was busy elsewhere. After beginning to sort through our books, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read a few articles. I also read one web comic. Then I began writing up Thursday's daily update. When I was getting ready to share it, I realized I was almost half an hour late to my villain supergroup meeting. I dashed into City of Heroes, leaving a note that I'm coming on Discord while the game loaded. I got into meeting while they were still roleplaying and visiting. I quickly checked on my friends who play the game. Dr. Faustus, Asya, the leader, Mysty, and our most faithful new member were there already. Seb and Patience couldn't make it. Mysty was back, maybe on a different character, I'm not sure. Dr. Faustus and our leader didn't recognize her, though Asya, our most regular new member and I did. We talked a bit, both in character and out of character. Then we ran the magic-themed taskforce. I took Hezabell again because melee-ranged Olga is still one level low for it. Our leader left early, and Dr. Faustus left right after the taskforce. The rest of us visited and roleplayed. Next, we went to a cafe for more roleplaying there. I left when I was called to dinner, with just a little storage on Hezabell as I left. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, and _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with help from my main nurse. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Hezabell. The beginning of the weekend auction house on Hezabell, Aneira Lloyds, Midori Neko, Lani Kamalu, Aiofe O'Malley and Lynn Beecher followed. I also found and did some storage on Perry Boffin. After that, I chose Lani Kamalu, and played a low-level story arc through flash back, hoping to finish the half-done one she had. I got the reward, but didn't clear the old one she had, so I ran the last two missions again, finishing it properly. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on her. I broke to check and play a little Cross Stitch World before I checked the in-game auction house on the others I'd worked on it with earlier. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I wrote in this, pausing to watch videos and read web comics before I quickly made notes in this. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 17. 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed just a minute after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal, but not by much at all. {Smile}

I started breakfast while signing into my online counselling appointment on my laptop. I thought it was a good session. We covered ground that helps me see both my future and my current situation both more clearly and more hopefully, with a little planning for the future thrown in. {Smile}

Then, after lunch, my main nurse dropped me off at the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library before he went to mail something for me, along with some shopping he had planned. I read _In the Land of Leadale 1_ on the way down. I returned two books I was done with. Next, I browsed books and picked out some likely ones. After that, I finished _In the Land of Leadale 1_ before I went over the books I'd picked out. I returned some, kept others, and picked out two more. Then I returned _In the Land of Leadale 1_ and checked out the others. My main nurse arrived as I started reading _Solo Levelling 14_, a side story collection that doesn't require the first 13 volumes quite as much as a continuation of the main story would. I considered that lucky, since the first twelve weren't in. {Smile}

After counselling, I settled onto my desktop computer. I mostly watched videos through lunch. Then my main nurse took me to the public library. After I got back, I went onto my computer again. I tried to write up Wednesday's daily update but found myself drawn to videos instead. I also went to some stacks of Mom's and Dad's books, and started picking out Next, I tried to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I suddenly found it easier to concentrate on writing up Wednesday's daily update, so I finished it. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I teamed up with Dennis and talked with Pierogies, but Pierogies felt committed to the late night short, large-group event. Dennis and I on Uncle Vincent finished the story arc we'd mostly done the day before, then a quick hunt Uncle Vincent had before Pierogies joined us. We settled on a trial that follows the story arc. I got called to dinner, but the trial is quick, so we ran it despite a thunderstorm in my area. Just after we finished, the thunderstorm turned off the computer and its battery backup somehow but seemed to cause no lasting damage. I turned it on again to say goodnight-in-case, then off again because of the thunder. I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and _Overgeared 4_, which I started. {Smile}

Then I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Dennis teaming with Kitten. I joined them on Lani Kamalu just in time to complete a badge that improves her. Then I switched to Aiofe O'Malley for a few more missions that advanced the same badge for her a little but didn't complete it. Next, Dennis said goodnight. I switched to Midori Neko, a character at the same moderately high level as the earlier two and ran a couple of missions of hers with Kitten before Kitten said they were tired and faded out. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Midori Neko, Lani Kamalu, and Aiofe O'Malley. After that, I watched a few videos.  I also checked Cross Stitch World. I remembered to fix up a box for the mysteries I'd picked out earlier, too.  I wrote a little and made many notes in this. I ended my evening. 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, September 16, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I had some trouble getting to sleep, too. In some ways it seemed less severe than recent nights, but I woke at 9:20 am to my main nurse touching my foot through the blanket. He'd started trying to wake me at 9 am, and I finally responded. {smile}

Today, I realized I've been dehydrated. I tried drinking water when recently I've been taking small candies, and it helped. I even relapsed less. I think I found the problem, or part of it. I do hope so! {SMILE}

Otherwise, I stayed home and took things easy. I at breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read a few short comics right over lunch. After lunch, I discovered that drinking water helped more in the long run than sugar. I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Next, I messaged friends on Discord, the chat server, as I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, letting them know I was there and looking to team up. I did check on my friends who play the game. Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies all came in soon after and joined me as I started a low-level story arc on my new version of Uncle Vincent. We finished that story arc and the first sequel before dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, and _Brigands & Breadknives_ by Travis Baldree. {Smile}

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 told friends on Discord that I was back in the game. Kitten joined me after I soloed a couple of hunts that start the next story arc. Dennis joined us before we finished that story arc. We started the last story arc of that set of story arcs. Then Kitten disconnected and told us on Dioscord that they couldn't come back. Dennis and I continued, stopping after a long mission near the end. We left a shorter mission and a talk for later and said goodnight. I worked on storage and a few badges on Uncle Vincent. Next, I worked on the in-game suction house and storage on Anka and Lynn Beecher. After that, I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. I also read a web comic and prepared a book to mail to my counsellor. Then I wrote in this. I broke to read a bit of a book comic before I started making notes in this. I did break to close windows on my computer and ended up checking Amazon and the web about the book comic series. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 15, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed right at 2 am. I'll count that as making my first bedtime goal, with no margin whatsoever. {Smile}

Near the end of breakfast, my phone made the clacking noise that tells me something on the calendar is immanent. I checked and discovered the monthly meeting/picnic was scheduled for that day. I guess it is the third Tuesday - as early as that can be. So, after breakfast, my relief nurse took me to the Office of Aging, after starting to the park we also often meet at. He dropped me off, and I walked in. The kitchen and the most usual meeting room were empty. The other meeting room looked shut up too, so I called the leader. She answered and told me they were in the second meeting room. I went back, and sure enough, I found her in the hallway and joined them in the room. I started on the lunch that was laid out. We all visited, hearing what different folks have been doing. I shared a bit myself. My relief nurse took me home afterwards. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day before I discovered the meeting was that day. After breakfast, I quickly got ready and left for the meeting. After I got back from the meeting, I went onto my computer. I mostly watched videos. I did read some web comics and articles, too. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got Aneira and went to the teen supergroup meeting. I found Jawsome and we started to roleplay. That picked up after I checked on my friends who play the game. Veronica joined us, then Nyxy on Pella. We both roleplayed and visited out-of-character. I also talked privately with Pierogis and declined an invitation to team up because of the teen supergroup meeting. I checked with Ulty and Jenny's Player, but neither were feeling up to joining us. We chose a popular mid-level taskforce and planned to recruit others to join. I quickly contacted Pierogis and got him the fifth spot on the team, so we did get to team up after all, sort of. We recruited three more who volunteered when we advertised. Aneira got closer to the next level but didn't reach it. (I was ready for her to gain one and only one level.) The non-members left, including Pierogies. The four members went to our base for in-character roleplaying and out-of-character visiting. then the others left. I checked on my friends who play the game and did a little storage on Aneira. Next, I wrote up Monday's daily update and shared it. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis. and we teamed up with me on Aneira. We did two or three missions until dinner. I made progress towards a badge and got Aneira closer to her next level. I had dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, and _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett, which I ordered a while back. It's been on my mind, so I decided to start it despite already reading other things. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Phonso. I said hi and he invited me to the first of three trials. I did all three on Soo-In Park for progress towards a badge. I visited with others on the team a little while playing, though honestly not as much as the day before. Then I wished others goodnight, especially Phonso. I started to work on storage on Soo-In Park. that stopped when Dennis said hi. I happily switched to Aneira, and we did a mission for badge progress, getting closer to that level I wanted for her. Next, we did another mission to actually reach that level. After that, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Soo-In Park and Aneira Lloyds. Then I wrote a little in this. Next, I played on Judith Seamstress, a new character who I recently got out of the tutorial. I set up missions, collected badges, and hunted enough to get one level, with occasional stops for storage. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World and closed windows on my computer. 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, September 14, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. It is particularly hard to meet my first bedtime goal before Monday, since I have an extra medication to administer right at bedtime. I'll try to make up for it. {Smile}

With no classes this week, and a vague recollection that my cousin Kim mentioned being unavailable for a while, I just stayed home and took things easy. I didn't take a nap, but I did get drowsy several times. {smile}

I ate breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV and Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I did check out some videos, but I also wrote up Saturday's daily update, finishing before lunch. I watched videos between that and lunch, which I had with my relief nurse, his TV, and _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson. then I went back to my computer. I read web comics, and chatted with Nox on Discord, the chat server. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I looked around and noticed it was close to time for the later short, large-group event, so I joined it on Eirlys Lloyds. Next, I ran the later long, large-group event on Ignacia Souza. Dennis said hi near the end. We teamed up after it was over and did a mission or two before dinner. I ate with my relief nurse, his TV, and the manga _In the Land of Leadale_. In it, a gal wakes up inside a computer game which has many similarities to Final Fantasy XIV, but a unique name. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Sunday's daily update, with breaks to check out videos, articles, and webcomics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and spotted Phonso. I have barely seen him in months; he hasn't been on in the evenings like he used to be; at least not as much. I said hi, and he immediately offered me the last spot in a trial he was leading. I grabbed it and ran it and two more trials on Soo-In Park, my eighth best badge collector. I tried to chat more with the teams as we played, and with Phonso, too. Then we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house storage and crafting on Soo-In until Dr, Faustus said hi. We teamed up and ran some of their missions, making less progress on the same badges that I got yesterday on two different characters. One of them accidentally out-levelled some content, but I can get it later. After we said goodnight, I worked on storage on both of them. I checked and played Cross Stitch World briefly before I wrote in this and made notes in this. I finished those notes early enough that I wrote a little more in this and did some in-game auction house and storage on Ignacia Souza before I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 13, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed several minutes before 2am. However, because it was Sunday with a 10 am service, I got up at 8:45 am, not 9 am. So, I did meet my first bedtime goal by a margin, but it didn't mean a full seven hours of sleep and sleep ready. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. I read _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson on the way down. I arrived during the announcements. I sat with Peg, and Auntie Barbara joined us when she was done teaching Sunday school. It was a nice service. Afterwards, I sat with my cousin Babs and Auntie Barbara for lunch. I enjoyed visiting with both. after lunch, my main nurse took me back home. I read more in _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson on the way home. {Smile}

When I got home, I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles and web comics. I tried to call my cousin, Kim, but didn't get her. I think I might remember that she warned me she'd be unavailable for a while; I'm not quite sure how long. Anyway, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I discovered that Kitten and Pierogies were busy in the later short, large-group event. So, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on a few characters while I waited. Soon Kitten. Pierogis and I teamed up. We did a few missions before Pierogies had to leave and I got called to dinner. I ate with the TV and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read some webcomics before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I began writing up Saturday's daily update up. Then I found Kitten and Pierogies hoping to team up. I left the update for later and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming to join them, settling on Topaz Proudfoot and Lynn Beecher, both moderately low-level characters working on at least one of the badges Pierogies was working on. They got one and made good progress on the second before Pierogies left. Kitten and I got the other for both of my characters. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, and they got me to join the taskforce they'd just joined before I found out they didn't have room for Kitten. I still ran it, then tried to team up with Dr Faustus and Kitten. Next, I did the mission Lynn Beecher still needed for a badge that improves the character. After that, Dr. Faustus searched for a badge mission, taking longer than anyone expected, including them. We ran a couple of missions, getting a badge my new version of Uncle Vincent needed on the way to a badge both he and Octavia Ballad need We still need to work on the badge they both need. Dr. Faustus plans to continue another night. After we said goodnight, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on a few characters. I also checked Cross Stitch World. I wrote in this, and I wrote some in Saturday's daily update when I discovered I hadn't finished. However, I switched to making notes in this to prepare for writing it properly the next day. I had to finish both the next day. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 12, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. It's not much. Occasionally, it isn't much of a problem. It's been more nights than not for long enough, it's a problem but thankfully not the day after the Friday nap. I didn't need another nap yet. {Smile}

I didn't go out, and the only phone call went to voice mail. It was late enough in Georgia, USA, I figured I need to try earlier another day. {smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos and read web comics, then began writing Friday's daily update. I also tried revising "Snow in Hawai'i," but made no real progress. So, I browsed the internet, then went back to writing up Friday's daily update. I tried revising "Snow in Hawai'i" again and got the first scene done. Then I tried to call my cousin Kim but got her answering machine. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on Bellae Magnolia's auction house and checked on my friends who play the game. I teamed up with Kitten. We did a mission on Aneira I've been waiting for friendly help with. Then we joined the later short, large-group event. I was on Eirlys Lloyds, Aneira's sister. I also talked with Jenny's player, who was also running the later short, large-group event. I said hi to Pierogies as well. Afterwards, Kitten, Pierogies and I teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga to do two or three missions. I said goodnight when Pierogies had to leave, and Kitten left, too. I did a little storage on ranged Olga before eating dinner with main nurse, his TV, and _How to Write Light Novels and Web Novels_ by R.A. Paterson. I found something about writing stories about people doing tasks, which is apparently fairly popular in Asia, or at least Japan. I hope it will help me write the stories I want to create. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I researched task stories but found a fiction series called Tasks and a little about very short, inspirational stories for adults. Sometime I'll go through stuff on short stories about tasks, and see if it helps, or even gives me ideas for searching on this, but the book talks about long, involved stories about complicated tasks, not short, inspirational stuff. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee-ranged Olga. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis, and we talked a fair while before we teamed up and did a few missions with me teamed on Lani Kamalu, a moderately high-level character. We thought we had time for only one mission, but the first was very short, and we found we had more time. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Lani Kamalu. I also talked with Nox on Discord, the chat server. Kitten said hi in City of Heroes: Homecoming. We tried to do a couple of missions to get the last thing I needed for a stat improving badge on Lani Kamalu. Several missions later, we gave up because it was really too late. I quickly wrote a little in this as we said goodnight. Then I dashed off notes in this. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 11, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. All the late nights must have caught up with me, because I was tired when I got up. drowsing on the way down to my last Ballroom Dance Mambo class of this session helped me get through class. Drowsing on the way back helped me get through lunch. A nap after lunch helped the most of all. I didn't even need a full hour. I got up feeling rested around 50 minutes later. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my last Ballroom Dance: Mambo class of this session. I drowsed on way there. Class started a little late but went well. I danced with the teacher's assistant, the teacher and one of the other gals. My frequent partners among the guys weren't there. My main nurse took me home afterwards. I drowsed on way back, too. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and his TV. I had to get ready to arrive at class by 10:30 am, so I didn't have time to read. After I got home, I got onto my computer. I mostly read webcomics through lunch. Then I took a nap. After my nap, I went back to my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I worked with Bellae Magnolia's in-game auction house and checked on my friends who play the game. Then I got onto melee-ranged Olga and went to villain supergroup meeting. I found Seb's Marius and Patience already there. Our most regular new member, our leader, and Anya joined us after a while Dr. Faustus came a little later yet. We did most of a story arc that Anya needed. We broke up when Doc and the leader had to leave. We should finish next week. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga. Then I worked on the in-game auction house on a few others until dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV and Forward Day by Day. I also tried to read about plot in _John Truby Presents: The Anatomy of Story_, though I found it hard to concentrate on stay on task with it. {smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and wrote up Thursday's daily update. I did take breaks to read web comics and watch videos. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Dennis teamed with Kitten and joined them when they got free of something I couldn't join. We teamed up for one mission and started to continue for one more mission. However, we discovered Dennis didn't need it after all. He had what he thought he needed out of it. I said goodnight to both of them, since it was late and they were quite tired. I also talked with Nox on Discord, then said goodnight to them. Next, I checked Bellae Magnolias. After that, I remade a character and made a new character, which both took a fair while. Then I checked a few characters' auction house before I shut down windows on my computer. I wrote in this and notes in this, breaking to check and play a little Cross Stitch World. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 10, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I did not sleep in, though I did drowse a few times while I was sitting quietly. At least I didn't take a nap. {Smile}

Counselling started with breakfast on my laptop, though not easily. Our first connection had neither picture nor sound, and I managed to hang up before I realized I could try reloading first. So, we got started late and had a shorter session. Still, we got some important things covered, including planning to get banking, writing, and sorting through the stuff around here. It feels like progress is at least on the horizon. {Smile}

A while after lunch, my main nurse took me to the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library. I found and looked at the writing book section first. I didn't find anything concentrating on plotting, cozy fiction, or slice-of-life fiction, which are my main interests now, so I picked two general books which seemed to have something on plotting. Then I went to the manga section and picked some out before I sat and finished _Ocean of Secrets 1_. Next, I took all the books to the front desk. I turned in _Ocean of Secrets 1_ and checking out the rest. After that, I sat down to reading about plotting in _John Truby Presents: The Anatomy of Story_. I read it while waiting for my main nurse. While I did, a fellow wanked up to and said hi. It was Dr. Hillier, my 12th grade English teacher. We talked for a while. He talked about how he'd moved into administration and asked about my writing. I told him I was hoping to finally get into publishing and described "Snow in Hawai'i" briefly. He said hi again a little later. My main nurse eventually came and took me home. {Smile}

After counselling, I got onto my main computer, meaning my desktop. I watched videos and read articles through lunch. Then I began writing up Wednesday's daily update. That stopped for my trip to the library. When I came back home, I went back on my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I saw the later long, long-group event, and another medium-large group event both being advertised. I chose to run the latter on Ana Marcelino, hoping for badges. We ran it with a pretty minimal group. Ana didn't get even one badge; the event failed, perhaps because we had so few participating. Next, I started a story arc that gives a badge. Chrome said hi as I was called to dinner. We were disappointed that I didn't have time to team up even a little. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day and _Writer to Writer_ by Gail Carson Levine. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. Then I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I didn't spot Chrome, or anyone else I often team with. So, I finished the story arc I'd begun before dinner on Ana, getting two badges. Next, did some storage on Ana. I also read some web comics. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house on Bellae Magnolias, and ran several missions and hunts on Bellae Magnolias. Then I did more in-game auction house and storage on Bellae Magnolias, and updated Ana's badge record. I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World and read some web comics before I wrote some in this. I broke to watch videos before I made notes in this. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 9, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. However, I slept particularly well, even sleeping several minutes after 9 am. I was asleep, sleep-ready, or on a trip to the little room for a little over 7 hours, despite going to bed slightly late, which is the goal of my first bedtime goal. My main nurse came in and woke me. I did hear the alarm despite sleeping on my left side, which muffles my better ear, but somehow, it sounded like a duck call instead of the bell it turned back into when I got up from the pillow. I thought that was weird, but you can't argue with ears. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Afterwards, I got onto my computer. I watched videos, then began to write Tuesday's daily update into lunch.  I switched to reading web comics when typing interfered with eating. Next, I went back to writing up Tuesday's daily update. I also checked out writing books on Amazon. Eventually, I finished Tuesday's daily update. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and realized that Pierogies and Crash must have been in the later long, large-group event. That was still recruiting, so I joined on Anka. I said hi to both of them before we ran it. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Anka. Next, I got together with Pierogies. We talked until dinner, catching up with how things are going in each other's lives. He also recommended a book. When dinner came, I ate with my main nurse, his TV and _Writer to Writer_ by Gail Carson Levine. She covers plot more in that book than in _Writing Magic_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I sampled writing books on Amazon some more and picked some out to order along with needed household supplies. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I did a hunt on melee-ranged Olga, better establishing a contact. I followed that with the in-game auction house and storage on her. After that, I did a few hunts and a mission on Bellae Magnolias. She got a level, so I trained her up and did auction house and storage on her. Then I worked on a couple of slower badges on melee-ranged Olga. Next, I wrote, then made notes in this. I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World before I finished my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
