Daily Update, May 31, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a few minutes after 1:30 am, so getting up at 8:45 am didn't feel short of sleep at all. {SMILE}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. I talked with my main nurse and played Cross Stitch World on the way down. When I walked in, I spotted my cousin Babs and her granddaughter in the back. I said hi, but there didn't seem to be much space near them, so I sat by myself in my usual area during the service, which was nice in a quiet, unexceptional way. {Smile}

I sat with them for lunch. They were already sitting with the other friends we made a while back. We enjoyed visiting and stayed late. On the way out, I ran into Melanie on the way out. She'd come for a concert that was starting in a while, but I was tiring, so didn't stay for it. My main nurse took me home, and we talked on the way. 

At home, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read comics. I also talked with friends on Discord. then I finished writing up Saturday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dragons said hi even before I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I joined Dragons on very low-level characters for some hunting, a mission of mine, and a story arc they had. After that, I left for dinner. I read Forward Day by Day and watched what my main nurse had on TV. {smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse before I went back to my computer. I watched some videos and talked with Nox on Discord. I also talked with Shepherd and Dennis on Discord. and squeezed in minimal writing in this. Then I joined them in City of Heroes: Homecoming, I checked on my friends who play the game, and we did a few missions of theirs, with me on Ignacia, an end-game character who specializes in fire magic. Then Shepherd and I talked at some length before parting. Next, I got Hezabell and joined Dr. Faustus and Seb, who were working a new character of Seb's through some low-level content. Seb's new character is interested in joining the villain supergroup. We finished a mission of Seb's, then talked. At the end of talking, Dr. Faustus said goodbye. Seb and I did one more mission of Seb's, then said goodnight. I worked on a few badges, then checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. I made notes in this with a few, short breaks. I ended the evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 30, 2026

 The night before Saturday, I actually got to bed a little before 1:45, meeting my second goal. So, I adjusted the clock to get me up at 8:45, starting my day a little earlier. {Smile}

I did try calling HMSA's online customer care. A gal answered before too long and offered to set up an appointment for me. I tried to explain about my connection shunting to phone calls for week. The gal offered to set up an appointment for me again. That was so far from what I needed, I hung up. {rueful smile}

I talked to my main nurse, trying to ask him to take me down to Office max to get something to try. He said I keep trying stuff without really knowing the problem, and why don't I get that gal who fixed my computer before? I thought he had a point, and did call Carol, the gal who fixes computers. I got her answering machine, so I left a message, and hoped it was good enough. It must have been, because she called back around three and a half hours later. She's busy until Friday, which is an unusually long wait time, but I said Friday was better than later than that, so we made an appointment when we'd both be available. {smile}

I had breakfast while reading Forward Day by Day and watching TV my main nurse had on. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I watched some videos. Then I found the stories my aunts, Mom's sisters, told me about the April Fool's tsunami in 1946, which they both encountered in Hilo, though not a closely as Dad did. I had lunch. Then I read comics and watched videos before I made the first two phone calls I mentioned. Next, I wrote up the rest of Friday's daily update. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked auction house on a few characters. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I looked around for something to do. I spotted a "speed strike force" which I joined on Hezabell, my higher-level villain supergroup member. After the strike force, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting the strike force produce for Hezabell. I also talked with Nox on Discord, before having dinner while reading _Avalanche_ by Mercedes Lackey, Cody Martin, Dennis Lee, and Veronica Giguere. I also watched TV my main nurse had on. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I talked to Nox a bit more on Discord. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I also checked the in-game auction house on a few characters. Next, I watched videos and read comics before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game again and talked with Seb. After that I checked a few more comics and wrote a tiny bit in this. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to find Dr. Faustus checking characters. I checked on my friends who play the game, then played by myself on Hezabell until they were done. Next, we teamed up, and did a mission of mine from one contact, then a few missions from another contact before we said goodnight. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting our play produced on Hezabell. After that, I wrote more in this. I took a break to check and play Cross Stitch World, then made notes in this with minimal breaks. I found Dad's tsunami story and made sure both his and my aunts' tsunami stories ought to be easier to find 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 29, 2026

The night before Friday I got to bed a minute or two after 2 am. I thought I was doing better, but apparently not. Well, all I can do is keep trying. {rueful smile}

While I was getting ready to go to my ballroom dancing class, I got a call from Mom's lawyer's office, asking for copies of two accounts. I told my main nurse, and we planned to work on it after lunch. {smile}

My main nurse took me to my ballroom dancing class, which I arrived at a little late, probably because that phone call slowed me up a bit. I danced with a couple of students, mainly, a guy, then a gal. I'm feeling reasonably confident with both the beginning steps and earlier intermediate ones, at least three of them, and to some extent, six. After class, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World at least part of the way both ways when I wasn't talking with my nurse. {Smile}

When I first got home from class, I looked for statements. I found two of the three Mom's lawyer's office had asked for in hardcopy. During lunch, I found the third statement online. I saved it as spreadsheet. and sent that to Mom's lawyer's office. After lunch, my main nurse took me to Mom's lawyer's office. They were happy with one hardcopy and considered the other a backup of what my financial adviser sent. They mentioned the one I'd emailed had gone to the wrong gal and was too small to read. I promised to send it to the right gal when I got home. However, my main nurse suggested getting a copy from the bank after we left the office. He drove to the branch across town, where I waited in a slow line until they could help me. Once I got to the desk, it was fairly quick to get the statement. We took it back across town and my main nurse ran it into the lawyer's office. The secretary was very happy with it. Then my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

At home, I got a few drinks, got onto my computer, and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I arrived at the villain supergroup meeting right on time on my higher-level member. Dr. Faustus, our leader, another regular and Seb were already there. I contacted Mysty and the slightly longer member as I checked on my friends who play the game. Mysty, her friend, and the new guy came late. We moved to the mission. The new gal I'd contacted met us there. Dr. Faustus left the team to make room for her but stayed connected enough to talk through a supergroup channel. We all used that instead of our team channel to include them in our chatter. We ran two or three player-made missions, the last of which was timed, and hard. We ran out of time before we finished. Though someone had gotten the main bad guy, we hadn't gotten everything we needed to get, too. Doc and the leader had to leave quickly. Others visited for a fair while afterwards before our meeting fully broke up. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage. I ended shortly before I was called to dinner. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day for both Thursday and Friday over dinner, along with watching what my main nurse had on TV. Then I went back to my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I checked Discord, and found Nox's reminders about my daily update, so I finished writing up my daily update. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I ran a story arc on my higher-level villain supergroup member. Next, I talked to her contacts, setting up missions and story arcs to run at a later time. After that, I made a second costume for each of the newly repurposed characters. Then I wrote in this. I checked Cross Stitch World and played a little of it as a break 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 28, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed just about at 2 am. Not even a couple minutes after, but not before, either. I really need to work on getting earlier. I at least want it before 2 am, not on or after. Still, I didn't have too much trouble with feeling tired, so I guess I got away with it. {Smile}

Before breakfast, I found a note from Kitten to go ahead with the changes to my characters. Starting at breakfast, I tried to sign into my counselling appointment with my laptop. It didn't do any better than my desktop. It took two sign-in attempts, a few texts to my counselor, another invite, another attempt to sign in, and I still ended up going to phone again. It was a short session because she couldn't extend it due to other appointments. My counsellor was not happy. She insists she won't accept more phone appointments after this. She says it's no good with my hearing loss, and no body language. She wants the video appointments back, through Zoom with a $40 copay. Otherwise, she'll refer me to someone who can meet in person {small smile}

I'm really not happy about this, so I tried calling technical support. but they sent me to a wait queue. I tried doing something else while I waited and ended up hanging up on them so I could do the other thing. I meant to call back but didn't do so soon enough. I'll have to try again soon. {small smile}

I did call my financial adviser and then emailed them with the lawyer's contact info. I hope we'll get them the information soon. {smile}

After my appointment with my counselor, I watched videos and read comics through lunch. Then I talked with Nox and Radio on Discord. Next came the phone calls. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I made two new characters I'd mentioned to Kitten and renamed the old ones. I also talked with Kitten on Discord. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I started to hunt on one of the old/newly reworked characters to finish something before making a new costume. {Smile}

Azurette invited me to a taskforce, but I declined because it was close to dinner. Dennis said hi, and invited me to Azurette's taskforce. I said it was close to dinner, but Dennis was disappointed enough, I arranged to eat dinner at the computer and ran the taskforce right over it. It began before dinner and ended after dinner. I got a nice reward, and even better, I got to enjoy teaming with Dennis and Azurette, though I struggled to catch up because I kept falling behind the group. After the taskforce, I said goodnight to Dennis. {Smile}

I finished the hunt I'd worked on earlier and started to make a new costume for the character I want it to be. Then I wrote up the parts of Wednesday's daily update I hadn't written already. Next, I finished the costume and broke to read a few comics. I answered Nox on Discord, saying goodnight, and talked with Shepherd on Discord, too. After that, I made a costume for the other old/newly reworked character. Then I wrote a little of this. I broke to check and play Cross Stitch World. Next, I made notes in this. 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 27. 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a minute or two after 2 am. I tell myself it's good it wasn't worse, but I still missed even my first goal. At least I settled down more quickly than sometimes, which should have compensated somewhat. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my Mom's Lawyer's office called. they wanted some information in preparation for our meeting about her estate. After our call, they sent an email recording the request. Also, I called my financial adviser's office and left a message asking for the information. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my Ballroom dancing classes. They went very well. Bolero is coming very nicely. The teacher even danced with me at the end and complimented my dancing. Country Twosteps followed, and I made a point of participating. they did introduce another step with a turn and a half, but I discovered I did well if I substituted half a turn. I had to warn my partner - for I often, though not always had a partner - but I ended up facing the right direction for the next step, while not being too dizzy to dance. My main nurse took me back home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way down, and on the way back. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day and watched TV. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I mostly watched videos through morning and into lunch. then I started reading comics along with watching more videos. Eventually, I finished writing up what parts of Tuesday's daily update I hadn't the day before. This did include a break for the phone call from Mom's Lawyer, and follow-up call with my financial adviser's answering machine. Then I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming earlier than usual these days. I checked on my friends who play the game, and did in-game email as texts, roleplaying with Nyxy and the most regular member of the teen supergroup. The texts were between their supergroup members and my higher-level member, Aneira's, older sister Eirlys. I was following up to some of the roleplaying we did the day before. Next, I realized that Eirlys was part way through some changes to toughen her up, so I continued working on that up to dinner by picking out and bidding on the auction house and such. I had a fast dinner with my main nurse before he took me to my dance classes. {Smile}

After my dance classes, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I checked Eirlys, picking some stuff up from the auction house for her, and tweaking the remaining bids. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game again. After that, I found a couple of characters I might repurpose for Aneira's and Eirlys's parents, since they've come up in recent roleplaying. This way, they won't have to start from scratch when they're played like they're experienced. I worked on them, and messaged Kitten with a question before I go too far in the changes. Then I wrote in this, with a break to check and play a little Cross Stitch World before switching to making notes in this. I checked Eirlys before I finished the notes. I ended my day by saying the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 26, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed just a couple minutes after 2 am. No, I didn't meet my first goal, but at least I didn't miss it by much. {smile}

Shortly after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center a little over half an hour before my Creative writing starts, so he could go to an appointment of his own. I not only played Cross Stitch World on the way down, but while I waited for the previous class to finish and clear out, which it did a while after 11 am. I suspect the class ended at eleven, but seniors going to class for enrichment are not as quick to clear out of a classroom as younger students. {Smile}

The class went well, though I had to admit I had nothing to share. I said I was still trying to write my way out of writer's block, which meant writing about the story instead of writing the story. I also mentioned thinking of trying easier projects and working up to the hard ones. Our teacher really encouraged that, even quoting "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." to encourage us to take on large projects gradually, instead of all at once. I was able to make some suggestions for others when it got time for sharing, despite not having something to share, myself. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I played Cross Stich world on the way. {Smile}

When I got home, I went onto my computer. I checked articles and comics and wrote a little of Monday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to the teen supergroup meeting on Aneira, my higher-level member, and arrived just as the most regular member did. I checked on my friends who play the game while we started roleplaying. Nyxy's Pella, Jenny's Player's new character, the new gal and one more arrived, but the last one left again. After she did, we ran a taskforce together. Ulty spoke up on our leader near the end. We finished the taskforce and went back to our base to roleplay. Ulty and gal who'd left rejoined us. The gal who left before, left again. I let my character zone out so I could go eat dinner with my relief nurse. I read Forward Day by Day and watched TV during dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on the teen supergroup meeting. It was still going strong, so I rejoined the roleplaying. Folks gradually left, starting with our most regular player. He left much later than usual but still left first. I left just after Pella, the last person to be speaking much. The new gal's character hadn't said anything since before I left for dinner. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Seb, but he was busy roleplaying, so I finished writing Monday's daily update I got sidetracked just after I finished writing it videos and comics but got back to sharing it when Nox said goodnight. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Dr. Faustus. We talked and teamed up. We ran much of a story arc my Seameownt had.  That's the character Kitten designed. After that, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I wrote some of this. I broke to check and play a little Cross Stitch World. I also checked Aneira and fixed her up better. Then I made notes in this, with a few short breaks. I said the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King to close out my evening. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 25, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a bit after 1:45. It was a little earlier, if not a lot, and it meets my first goal. {Smile}

When I got up, I thought I had class, but fortunately, as I was finishing breakfast, I remembered it's Memorial Day. That's a state holiday in Hawai'i, and the County of Hawai'i, including the senior activities division that I take most of my classes through, observes state holidays by giving non-essential personnel time off. That includes everyone in the Elderly Activities Division that runs the classes, including the instructors, though at least some don't get paid. So, I just stayed home and took it easy. {Smile}

After breakfast, I went onto my computer. I read comics until I broke for lunch. I read forward Day by Day over lunch with my relief nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I read more comics and watched some videos. I finished the already free episodes of _On the Way to Meet Mom,_ by GOMYANG, including one episode that Webtoon released while I was reading earlier ones. Then I wrote up Sunday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming significantly later than usual. I checked on my friends who play the game and quickly found Pierogies. I loved seeing him! It might have been over a month since we got together in the game. Though we have talked on Discord fairly often, it's not the same. We teamed up on low-level characters and did a couple of his missions before I was called away for dinner. He admitted he needed a break too, so we said goodnight. Dinner was tacos with my relief nurse. During it, I watched TV and read _Avalanche_ by Mercedes Lackey, Cody Martin, Dennis Lee, and Veronica Giguere. {Smile}

After dinner, I got back onto my computer. I talked on Discord, especially to Nox. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Seb while I did. I did some of the in-game auction house and storage on the character I'd played with Pierogies before dinner. Then I picked up a few missions for her before breaking to check Discord. Nox's answer inspired me to write about my problems trying to start writing a story. It feels like it's challenging my writing skills in too many ways at the same time, without enough guidance or examples. I shared this with a few other friends, too. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I spotted Dr. Faustus, and we chatted while I checked on my friends who play the game. We teamed up on our moderately low pair; mine is Octavia. We did several of my missions before we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage for Octavia. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote some of this and broke to check Discord. I found note from Kitten that prompted watching a video that makes me feel a little less overwhelmed by the story. I still think there might be something easier to write first, to work up to the story, rather than take it on all at once. Anyway, I went back to make notes in this, with pause to check City of Heroes: Homecoming. 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 24, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to be a few minutes before 2 am. That's my first goal, but because it was Sunday, I got up at 8:45 am. I suspect I'd feel more rested if I got to bed before 1:45 before Sunday. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. We arrived as the prelude finished, so we heard all the announcements. I sat with my nurse until he stepped out when auntie Barbara came when the Sunday School came in. The students of the Sunday School got to stand up front for special recognition and a blessing. There were other special parts in the service because it was Pentecost. {Smile}

After church, we had lunch on the lanai, with a particularly good spread. I sat with some parishioners. I was happy when Auntie Barbara came to sit with me. We got to talk a bit. Afterwards, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way down, and on the way back. {Smile}

After we got home, I got onto my computer. I mainly read quite a few comics, and many episodes of one particular comic, _On the Way to Meet Mom,_ by GOMYANG. I did get my daily update done and shared eventually, but I really finished too late to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming before dinner, so I checked Discord again. I ate dinner while reading Forward Day by Day and watching TV. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. Then I went back to my computer. I read a few more episodes of that comic. I also answered folks on Discord. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Kitten, Seb, Jenny's Player, and Ulty. I talked with Ulty and Seb. After that, I checked a few characters. While I was doing that, Seb invited me to team with him and a friend. I got Eamonn, the character who's still developing for the endgame, and we did a couple of missions. Then I helped Seb's friend, giving her some game cash to help her develop her character. Seb and Eamonn did several more missions while she worked the auction house to get stuff for her character. The three of us did a few more when she rejoined us after she was done. Her character was already noticeably better. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Eamonn. After that I browsed on the internet before I wrote a little in this. I soon switched to making notes in this. Then I checked Cross Stitch World before I said the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 23, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am again. Not by much, but that still meets my first goal. {Smile}

After the business of Friday, I'm relieved to say that I just stayed home and took things easy. I didn't even have any notable phone calls. The most exciting thing was that I checked my laptop, and the time was right again. I didn't test to make sure I could connect to the internet, but I'm very hopeful. I'll have to check before my appointment with my counsellor next Thursday. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I read comics through lunch, then watched a few videos. I started to write more of Friday's daily update but stopped to watch several more videos before I finished writing up Friday's daily update. Then I talked with friends on Discord, especially with Dennis, before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I played by myself on a moderately low-level character until dinner. I attempted to read a novel during dinner, but ended up watching TV instead, since it was going, and just interesting enough. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I talked with Nox on Discord, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Seb and Kitten. I talked with Seb as I found some of the in-game auction house to work on. Next, Kitten said hi, and we teamed up with me on Anka, my best badge collector. We did a single mission, getting a badge along the way. Then we started a story arc that it leads into, that involves other badges in it or subsequent story arcs. We did a couple more missions before Kitten went quiet. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house storage and crafting. Then I took a break to read some comics before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I tried to find badges to work on for my second-best badge collector, but Seb said hi before I found something. We teamed up for a couple of high-level missions with him actually on an alternate Sebastion, and me on Eamonn, who is into the endgame, but not fully developed for it yet. Next, we switched characters to work on badges for a character he rarely plays. I tried Helena, who's not a ranked badge collector, but is fully equipped for the end game, and a character of his that he rarely plays, but they didn't fit well. After that, I wrote in this, though we continued talking while I did some auction house and storage. I made notes in this and checked Cross Stitch World before finishing my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, May 22, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. It wasn't much before 2 am, but I met my first goal. {GRIN}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance class. It went well. I'm fairly sure with the first two intermediate steps, and all 9 beginner's steps. I got one of the students to show me the gal's steps in a few more intermediate steps. I'm working on 3, 4, 5, and maybe 6. The teacher showed them to me when I asked, so I'm more certain how they work. I danced with the teacher's assistant, working on those steps in particular, too. Then I danced with a couple of students, one who went over the beginner's steps, which I don't want to forget, and one who went over beginner's and intermediate, getting about as many as I did. {Smile}

After class, my main nurse took me back home. On the way, he mentioned his daughter's graduation, so when we got home, I gave him a lei for her. I also explained much of the protocol around giving leis at graduation. He's English, born in London, so I was sure he'd appreciate being able to get the protocol correct, which he definitely did. I'm not sure why, but the English seem to revel in getting protocol correct. {chuckles}

A while after lunch, I tried to sign in for my replacement appointment with my counselor. First, I tried on my laptop, but it kept protecting me from the internet. As I tried different links, and even a second browser, it kept doing so. I realized with that second browser that it was objecting to the time being off. I tried to reset but gave up. I need more time to make that work, and maybe techie help, too. Then I tried on my phone, but I couldn't find my way to a good link. Finally, I went back to my computer, after getting a new link. My computer tried to connect, and went to a phone call, which gave poor fidelity for both, and cut out a couple of times. However, at least it was something. I didn't get a full hour, but we ran a bit over half an hour and covered all major points. {smile}

After I got home, I watched videos and read comics over lunch, and a little after. Then came my appointment with my counselor, which was half just trying to connect. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some beginning-of-the-weekend in-game auction house on a few characters. Then I went to my villain supergroup meeting right on time. Doc, our leader, Seb, and our most regular member were already there. I talked to Mysty, who was late, and brought a new friend. I also talked to the slightly less new gal, who was also late. I also checked on my friends who play the game while we roleplayed, waiting until they all came in. When all of them were there, we ran a strike force with a full team. Then Mysty's friend who's come the last couple of times joined, with Dr. Faustus leaving to make space. We ran a taskforce. Then the meeting broke up. Doc, our leader, the longtime regular and Seb left. Mysty and both of her friends stayed. While we were getting ready to do something, Kitten mewed at me. Mysty wanted to run a story arc she'd made. I wanted to do that, but I wanted to team with Kitten. So, I asked if Mysty could invite Kitten, and she agreed. Mysty also invited one or two other friends. Next, we ran Mysty's story arc. During it, I ate dinner at my computer, since we were busy with the story arc, and my nurse was busy separately. {Smile}

After that, we talked. I did auction house and storage as I could on the side until Mysty and some others left. Kitten and two others stayed, and helped me get two badges on Anka, my best badge collector, by running a story arc, and helping me choose the right option for a badge. Then one character left, and Kitten went to sleep. The character who stayed helped me run it again, for a third badge for the other choice. Next, I updated Anka's badge record, and worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on her. After that, I wrote in this and took a brief break to check Cross Stitch World before making 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}
