Daily Update, November 4, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I'm not even sure why it's after. I was running early, then suddenly I was running late. It's puzzling. {smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dance classes. When we went in, we found them setting up tables, like on the last day of class, when we have a big potluck social. We're only halfway through the classes, so this was a surprise. It turned out it was their election night, so they fed us pizza and had a partial potluck. They weren't concerned that I hadn't brought anything, since they had plenty of food. I voted, ate, danced, and visited over the evening. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down and back, and charged my phone while I was there, since the battery was really low. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day, followed by a nap. Then I went onto my computer, where I read web comics over lunch and through much of afternoon. I also started reading _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 3_. Eventually, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update but finished too late to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming before a slightly early dinner with my main nurse and the TV. {Smile}

After dinner I went off to class which turned out to be an election instead. After I got back from that, I went onto my computer. I browsed web comics and Amazon. I also talked on Discord. Eventually, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Michiel. He was heading to bed, so we planned to team up some other day. Then I did a few missions on Yenna Grajewo. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on her. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I wrote in this. Then I read a bit of _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 3_, followed by several web comics. I made notes in this later than I meant to, but still finished my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, November 3, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to be right at 2 am. I made my bedtime goal, though I didn't have any cushion. I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep until I tamed some itches enough to stop waking me up, so it wasn't the most restful night, but I fixed that with a nap. {Smile}

After lunch, my substitute relief nurse's son cam and brought _Mocha the Cat and his Forever Family 1_, the library book she'd found in her car a couple of days ago. He called his mom, and she and I talked in a short video call. that was nice. {SMILE}

After he left, my relief nurse took me down to the library. We found it closed, and I realized that of course it would be closed; it's run by Hawai'i's state government. All non-essential state and county offices and services are closed. I had my relief nurse return one book that was overdue. For some reason, it hadn't automatically renewed last week. Then we ran a few other errands my relief nurse had before we went home. I read much of _Cats with Jobs 1_ on the way. We got back a bit after 3 pm when I thought I had a supergroup meeting at 3 pm. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I took a nap that didn't last the full hour I expected. I got up shortly before lunch. I had lunch with my relief nurse, the TV, and _Cats with Jobs 1_. Then my substitute relief nurse's son brought the book. After he left, we ran a few errands. When we got back, I got onto my computer. I quickly went into City of Heroes: Homecoming on Aneira Lloyds. I took Aneira to her supergroup base, apologizing to the supergroup for being late to the meeting. Veronica's player assured me that it started in a little over half an hour. I'd forgotten that daylight savings time started for most of the United States over the past weekend. Hawai'i doesn't have daylight savings time, so dealings with folks that do shift by an hour instead. I settled Aneira down in her base. Jawsome came in and we started to roleplay. Nyxy's Pella joined us, as did Veronica. We were all roleplaying when Ulty and Jenny's Player brought new characters to the supergroup base's lobby. Victoria dashed down to greet them, and the rest of us trickled down after her. We met the characters, then chose a taskforce to do. We ran the taskforce right through dinner, so I ate at my computer. I finished dinner about the time we finished the taskforce and adjourned to the base. {Smile}

We roleplayed, then shifted to out-of-character visiting. Jawsome left first, then Nyxy's Pella and Jenny's Player's new character. Ulty, Victoria and I left almost at the same time. I asked Ulty about a new character over Discord, the chat server. Her reply prompted me to share pictures of five who might qualify along with biographies for the two who had them written up already. Then I wrote up Monday's daily update. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira Lloyds, and checked on my friends who play the game. I also crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. After that, I broke to read a few webcomics. I wrote in this, then broke to check and play Cross Stitch World 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, November 2, 2026

The night before Monday, between distractions and the longer bedtime routine, I got to bed a minute or so after 2:15 am. That's worse than I've done in a while... I'll have to work harder and better at this. {smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my Absolute Beginner's Line Dance class. I got there early and spotted the fellow I'd been told had had a bad fall, sporting some truly impressive bruising. He told about the fall, and getting it treated... I'm not sure if he actually went to Honolulu or just was warned he might need to if things got worse. He joked about having a Halloween costume already this year, meaning all the bruising, and told how he even got a prize for "cutest costume." Turned out he'd had a bad case of dehydration that contributed to the fall. Made me aware I felt a bit dehydrated, despite sipping my water during breaks. We talked some more after class. Then my relief nurse took me home. I talked with my relief nurse on the way down and the way back. I also read _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_ on the way back. On the way down, we were too busy talking. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and the TV. Then I had my class. After I got home from class, I had lunch with my relief nurse, the TV, and _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_. After lunch, I finished _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_. I got onto my computer. I read web comics. Next, I started to read another library book, _Cats with Jobs 1_. I also read more of _My Daughters Are My Greatest Cheat: Book 1_. I checked for the book the substitute relief nurse was going to return a few times. Eventually I found a text saying she'd been too busy. She promised to try again the next day. I expected to be home all day, between election day cancelling class, and voting last Thursday by walk in absentee ballot. Suddenly I realized it was getting late. I wrote a little of Sunday's daily update, then went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also answered friends on Discord, then left note about being in City of Heroes: Homecoming. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked some of my characters. Dennis said hi. I got Ignacia Souza, and we teamed up. We hunted for something Dennis needed for a badge until I got called to dinner slightly early. I ate with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day... both Sunday's and Monday's entries. I talked with my relief nurse more than usual. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Dennis. We finished the same hunt with me on Ignacia Souza. After the hunt, I switched to Peony Boffin. We ran a few of her missions. Pierogies joined us for a couple missions. Then both of them said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Peony Boffin, and crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Next, I switched to melee-ranged Olga. I tried a contact, who gave the same hunt three times in a row. Wondering what was up, I checked the contact; that one hunt is all that's left for her. So, I street swept on her, as we call free-form hunting. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on her. I also checked on my friends who play the game. I ran into someone I roleplayed with after accidentally leaving without realizing she was trying to roleplay. After the roleplaying, I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet and checked on my friends who play the game again. Then I wrote in this. I shut down windows on my computer before I made notes in this. Next, I checked 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, November 1, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal. I got up at 8:45 am because we had a 10 am service, not a 9 am like when the vestry meets, or for special occasions. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Apostles. I read _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 1_ on the way down. My nurse dropped me off and promised to bring the bag with my early Christmas gift for my cousin Babs in later. I got there shortly before the announcements, so I was fully on time. I sat with Peg, and Auntie Barbara joined me. It was a nice service. {Smile}

Babs and her granddaughter were there. I sat with them and Auntie Barbara for lunch. Auntie Barbara took me home afterwards so we could visit on the way. She also came in to see the books I've selected to give away, and we talked at some length before she left. {Smile}

My housekeeper was here when we got home. The house is better for her attentions. At dinner, my main nurse and I got messages from my substitute relief nurse. She found the library book I'd misplaced in her car, in a spot that made it easy to miss the first time she looked for it. I'm so relieved, though now I have my own copy of that book, since I'd ordered a replacement. Now I don't need to give that to the library. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. After church and my visit with Auntie Barbara, I finished _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 1_ and started _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_. Then I went onto my computer. I read web comics. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and ran into Pierogies and Dennis. We toured the Halloween themed base Pierogies and I had visited the day before. No people in costumes were adding atmosphere, nor was anyone giving out prizes. The day before, they gave prizes if they saw you'd reached a particular room. Pierogis, Dennis, and I did enjoy a hayride and a spooky path before I said goodnight. They were starting another path, but I had been called to dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, and _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_. {Smile}

I read a little more of that manga before cleaning myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went back to my computer. I read web comics. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Jenny's player, Ulty, and Veronica/Anya. I talked with Jenny's player and Ulty as I did a hunt or two on Peony Boffin. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on her. Next, I did several hunt on Yenna Grajewo. In the middle, she gained level, so I trained and upgraded her character. I also turned off experience, since she'll lose content if she gains level again before finishing a few contacts. I also talked with Veronica/Anya during this, after she finished a taskforce that the leaders made tough, and didn't ease up on because folks were struggling. When I was done hunting for now, I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Yenna Grajewo. After that, I checked Cross Stitch World and played a tiny bit of it. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Next, I read some more of _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 2_. I checked Amazon, and closed windows on my computer. I wrote and made notes in this. Then I checked on my friends in City of Heroes: Homecoming one last time. 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, October 31, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. More to work on, and it was a long day. {smile}

I didn't really do anything special. It was rainy, so it was easy to stay home. I didn't need to go out. I didn't even make or get any notable phone calls. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, Forward Day by Day, and _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. I finished _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ after breakfast. Then I started _Cats with Jobs 1_. I went onto my computer. I continued _My Daughters Are My Greatest Cheat: Book 1_, the ebook I got the day before. I switched to reading web comics during lunch. I wrote up Friday's daily update after lunch. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming mid-afternoon. I checked on my friends who play the game. I checked a Halloween-themed base. I met a person, and we showed each other costumes we'd made. We started to tour the base together and ended up joining a group that Pierogis was touring the same base with. I left with Pierogis for a base that hosted a costume contest, but the contest was over. So, I visited with Pierogis until we said goodnight. After that, I checked a few of my characters before breaking for dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, and _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 1_. I decided to read it and its first sequel before going back to _Cats with Jobs 1_ because the latter is easier to restart, since it lacks a continuing story arc to keep track of. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read web comics and browsed on Amazon. I also read more of _My Daughters Are My Greatest Cheat: Book 1_. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked one my friends who play the game. Next, I got out Yenna Grajewo, and did a few hunts until Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked a little, and I switched to melee-ranged Olga. We did all three story-arcs that stop at her level, though the last one refused to complete until I logged out most of the way and logged back in. That is not normal, but it worked, so we didn't need to bother the folks who keep the game running. After I logged back in, it worked fine, giving me a badge I'd just earned and everything. We said goodnight. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga, followed by crafting for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I also checked Cross Stitch World. I wrote and made notes in this. I finished my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 30, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. I guess I shoudlnt' be too surrpsied at moving slowly after such a busy day. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. Not as many came, though the new gal I first met last week and saw again Wednesday was there. We all blamed the weather. It had been quite rainy since the day before and wasn't looking to let up soon. Also, there was nothing for this to be the drier alternative to; that can boost attendance surprisingly. I have the early beginner moves and the later moves that are easy to shadow, but I'm still working on the moves that are easier when a follow is led by the lead. Still, I got to practice with a guy and the instructor's assistant a bit. More than usual, though, I danced by myself. My usual partners among the students were all missing. After class, my main nurse took me home. I read _The Savior's Book Cafe Story in Another World 1_ on the way down and the way back. It's enough thicker but shorter and narrower than _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ that I felt more confident it wouldn't get damaged on the way. {Smile}

A while after lunch, the secretary from Helping hands Hale, the nursing company which takes care of me came by for the monthly check. We visited for a short while when I handed it over to her, which is nice. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. Then I went to my class. After I got back home, I went onto my computer. I mainly made web comics and browsed on Amazon, with a break when the nursing company's secretary visited. Next, I wrote a little of Thursday's daily update before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to the villain supergroup meeting on melee-ranged Olga. I found Seb's Marius, but he was distracted, so I checked on my friends who play the game. I did a little roleplaying with Marius, and Anya and the leader when they showed up. The four of us ran the Halloween-themed trial for exactly four people, since we had exactly the right number, and it will be over for another year early next week. Dr. Faustus arrived near the end of the trial. We went back to the base for visiting and light roleplaying including Dr. Faustus after the trial. The meeting eventually broke up, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga. After that, I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Then I broke to browse on Amazon, finding but not yet getting some books I was interested in, despite being ebooks, which I don't usually like. Well, some are also audiobooks, but with my hearing loss, that's even worse. Next, I broke for dinner. I ate with my main nurse, the TV, forward Day by Day and _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. 

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read web comics and tried the most interesting story that was only available as an ebook. I enjoyed it so much that at the end of the free sample, I considered buying it despite it being an ebook. When I looked into it, I realized I could use points to buy it and did so. I looked into those points later, and those points are strictly for buying ebooks with. There's no other way to use them, so using them for this feels better. I read a fair bit more of it. I also finished writing up Thursday's daily update. Then I answered Nox on Discord, the chat server, before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I did one timed mission which stopped a level earlier than anything else any contact had on Yenna Grajewo. I turned on XP for her and did a couple of hunts. She didn't gain a love, but she's getting closer. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Yenna Grajewo. After that, I read a little more _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ before I wrote in this, with a break to check and play Cross Stitch World. I switched to 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}

Daily Update, October 29, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal, which is very nice. {Smile}

I had breakfast at my laptop computer, before and during my online counselling session. That went well. We covered the main points I can think of. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me out. I tried out _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ on the way down. Our first stop State building, where the internet told my main nurse we had to go to vote. We found a nice lady who explained that no, we wanted the county building next door. Maybe the State building works in Honolulu, but we're in Hilo. At the county building, another nice lady explained that no, we wanted the annex across the street. At the annex they directed us out of the main part and over to the wing where, at the end, I finally found a form to fill out to let me vote. I turned it in, and a pleasant fellow asked if I wanted to vote by paper or electronic means. I almost said paper, but I tried the electronic. It was kind of neat; it was all touch screen and produced a printout at the end that we fed into the machine. {Smile}

Then my main nurse took me to The Foot Clinic. I tried out _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ on way there. They weren't upset that I was late, just giving me a pad to update my patient information When I was done, they took me to an exam room. I read a little more _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ before I saw the podiatrist, a new, younger man. Their long-time podiatrist is slowly doing less on his way to retirement. He checked my feet, which passed the tests despite some diabetic neuropathy, and trimmed my nails. {Smile}

Next, my main nurse dropped me at the public library. I read more of _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_ on way there, but decided to return it while I was there. I picked out a few new books, and read more of _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ when I wasn't returning, choosing or checking out books. the library gave a few warnings. At the five warning, I stepped outside, continuing to read _Prince Preya, Vol. 1_. Soon my main nurse picked me up and took me home. I finished all the story in _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ about the time we reached home. {Smile}

After counselling, I switched from my laptop to my main computer. I read web comics through lunch. Then came our trip out. When I got back, I read the author's commentary at the end of _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_. I sorted through all the library books I've borrowed and not returns, making four piles: _Prince Freya, Vol. 1_ starts the finished pile. Another pile is stuff that's never been renewed, including what I borrowed that day. Another pile has stuff that has been renewed once. the last pile has stuff that's been renewed twice, which I think is the current maximum of times. I further sorted the renewed twice pile by due date, with the soonest at the top and the furthest away at the bottom. A have a few due next week on top. I have a lot to read by the middle of next week. I'm glad I returned _Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1_. It's a thick book that I can read later. Next, I picked out _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_ and put it where I'd take it to dinner. I went onto my computer and read some web comics. I also browsed books on Amazon. After that, I checked Discord, the chat server. I found out that Dennis had just asked where Kitten and I were. I left quick note and dashed into City of Heroes: Homecoming. We teamed up and did a mission with me on Peony Boffin. We ended a little after I was called to dinner, so we just said goodnight and I went to dinner. I ate with main nurse, the TV, and _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. I found Forward Day by Day near the end of dinner; it had gotten under the stacks I'd sorted. I read it while I finished dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished the first scenes of _Mana Legends: Kamehameha 1_. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went onto my computer and wrote up Wednesday's daily update. After that I browsed on Amazon and also browsed some videos before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming particularly late. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I ran melee-ranged Olga through a few talks and one mission, finishing a contact and setting up another contact that I didn't realize she also needs to finish before going up in level. Now I have two to go before she goes up. I checked Yenna Grajewo's contacts, to figure out when to let her go up, and which contacts to prioritize because of lower-level maximums for some contacts. I hunted on her and did a little in-game auction house and storage on her. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World before I wrote and 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. October 28. 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed shortly after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal by only 2 or 3 minutes. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dancing classes. I danced with one of the other gals before the first class began. That was Foxtrot, and we're getting into come complicated steps and combinations. I'm enjoying the challenge. Then came Bachata, which is also getting more complicated. Again, I enjoyed the challenge. The new gal I'd never met before from last Friday's class was there again. She did the Foxtrot, and the beginning and the end of the Bachata, but did sit out some of the middle. It is a lot of dancing if you aren't used to it. After class, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way and on the way back. It's late enough in the year, it's dark both ways. That's the high tropics; we do have different seasons. They're just mild. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I went onto my computer. I spent all morning researching political candidates to prepare for the upcoming election. I hoped to vote the next day, after lunch (and did). yes, it's early, but the lines are rarely long ahead of time. I finished at lunch time and switched to browsing books on Amazon during lunch. I continued browsing books on Amazon well into the afternoon. Then I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. I posted a note in Discord, the chat server, before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten. We teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga. Dennis joined us. We three started a story arc that's helping to keep her from gaining level, along with one other story arc. We ended at dinner time, partway through that story arc. I had dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade. {Smile}

After dinner, I went to my classes. After I got back, I went onto my computer and browsed books on Amazon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga. I crafted for badges on Emmy Overstreet. Next, I ran a hunt on Peony Boffin before I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Peony. I read some web comics. I played Cross Stitch World. After that, I closed windows on my computer. That really helps with distractions when I'm writing or making notes, though I opened enough to get a little distracted later. I mainly wrote and 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, October 27, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am, so I made my first bedtime goal, even though it was the night that runs late most often. I'm pretty happy with that. {Smile}

Before breakfast, I printed out five copies of the story I added to the night before. Late in the morning, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. I arrived a little early but wasn't quite the first one there. I shared the need to negotiate with the lead of one of the two stories I'm working on because she doesn't like the way I thought the story should go. I've seen scenes and even whole stories turn out poorly because a character was fighting the author over which way the story should go. I enjoyed the lecture. I shared the story I added to during that section of class. I got encouragement, though not many suggestions. Then again, it can be hard to make suggestions early in the story, which this one is. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I read _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. After that, I went to class. After I got back, I went onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I took Peony Boffin to the teen supergroup's base for the weekly teen supergroup's meeting. I checked some other windows, and came back to find that Jenny's player and Nyxy's Pella had come in. Then Ulty's Puffin and Jawsome came. Veronica's player brought a new character, and we roleplayed her initial interview. Next, Pella left because Nyxy had had another long day. The rest of us did the newly revamped taskforce. I like it. We didn't have to hunt down anyone at the end of a mission this time, which is such a relief. The old version made you do that a lot. After the taskforce, we went to the base for a little roleplaying. That broke up just as I was called to dinner. I ate with my relief nurse, the TV, and _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read web comics. Then I began writing up Monday's daily update. I broke to watch several videos before I finished Monday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Dennis, who was on a different Homecoming shard, as they call alternate setups of the game world. I also talked with Dr. Faustus. Dr. Faustus and I teamed up, and Dennis joined us. we did a few missions, finishing the story arc we'd started the other night, and starting the next story arc in a series. Dennis left, and we did a few more missions, finishing the second story arc and barely starting the next contact. We need to gain level to continue the next contact. We said goodnight, and I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on Peony. After that, I crafted for badges and did some in-game auction house on Emmy Overstreet. Then I broke to check and play Cross Stitch World. Nest, I wrote a little in this. I closed windows on my computer before I started making notes in this. I broke break to check Peony and open a special costume slot that needs Halloween supplies for her before I finished 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}

Daily Update, October 26, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. It's harder to get to bed early before Monday, because I have an extra medicine to administer. {small smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me to Aunty Sally's Luau Hale for my Absolute Beginner's Line Dance class. I arrived a little early, and talked to a new gal, beginning to get to know her. She mentioned that another student had had a bad fall. He's getting treated in Honolulu, which can handle more serious cases better than Big Island hospitals usually can. Other than that news, class went well. My relief nurse took me home afterwards. I read _Abby and the Stone Heart_ by Nick Blade on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

After lunch, I got a phone call from my cousin Kim. We talked for quite a while. I enjoyed every minute. It was great to talk again. We caught up on what each other have been doing, including what kept her away for a while. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and the TV. After I got back from class, I had lunch with my relief nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I got the phone call from my cousin. Next, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched some videos. I left a note in Discord, the chat server right before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I checked on my friends who play the game. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Midori Neko, who I'd played the day before, then not gotten back to. Dennis said hi, and we squeezed in a mission with me on Ana Marcelino, my second-best badge collector. We said goodbye, and I set Ana to working on badges passively. I squeezed in writing some of Sunday's daily update before I got ready for dinner. I ate with my relief nurse, the TV, and _The Hearthfire_ by Jalal C. Hockett. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished Sunday's daily update and shopped on Amazon. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I got a badge on Ana and started hunting for a different badge. At first, I had trouble, but then I tried a trial that used to be too dangerous to solo. They fixed most of that, which let me get the badge. However, when I tried to finish the trial, I had too much trouble with the final battle. I quit without finishing and updated her badge record. After that, I did some in-game auction house and storage on her. Then I did some in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Anka Beecher, my very best badge collector, followed by some storage on the moderately low-level Lynn Beecher and the lower-level Uncle Vincent. I paused to check and play Cross Stitch World. Next, I wrote in _Judith_, adding a little to share in class the next day. I wrote in this and made notes in this before finishing my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
