Daily Update, August 4, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed barely before 2 am. I met my first bedtime goal, if not by much. That's good as far as it goes. {Smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing Class. I played Cross Stitch World and talked with my relief nurse on the way down. I was surprised to find that I was the first one there, but I got to talk with our teacher at some length before class. I ate lunch during class, which I enjoyed. I felt useful critiquing my fellow students writing. I'd taken some writing, but only about still trying to break writer's block, so I didn't' share it. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World and talked with my relief nurse on the way. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I emailed my work of the week to my teacher before I went to class. After class I got onto my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I found Pierogies on all three of his accounts. I showed him Topaz Proudfoot on my new account. We got all his accounts connected with my new one. I also went to my teen supergroup meeting on Aneira. Veronica was already there with Nyxy's Pella. Jawsome came just after me. I brought in Topaz Proudfoot to show the, and we got Nyxy and Jawsome connected to my new account. I also talked to Ulty, though she didn't come to the meeting. We got her other connected to my new account, too. Veronice, Pella, Jawsome, and my Aneira and Topaz roleplayed a bit. Veronica suggested a taskforce when we realized Ulty wasn't coming. I sent Topaz home, and I ran it on Aneira with the others, with light roleplaying and out-of-character visiting, Afterwards, we roleplayed a bit in our base before the meeting broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Aneira, finishing up in time for dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, and _Overgeared 1_. I'm really enjoying that manhwa (Korean comic book). It's a lot like some of the web comics I follow, including being manhwa. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I wrote up rest of Monday's daily update, with more blood sugar trouble and web comic reading than I like, but reading web comics is easier than writing while I'm coping with blood sugar trouble. When I was done with my update, I finally went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Dr. Faustus said hi. We ran three connected story arcs my Topaz could get, running quite late for us, but did finish them all. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Topaz. Next, I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. I closed windows and wrote tiny bit in this before making many notes in this to write from the next day. 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, August 3, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to be shortly after 2 am. It's harder to get to bed early the night before Monday because I have an extra medication to administer. However, that just means I need to try even harder. {smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Aunti Sally's Lua'u Hale for my First Timer's Line Dance class. I arrived early and watched a dance or two before class. I also checked the signup and signed up for Monday's class next session. They had two lists, for Monday, and Wednesday, and only one had picked Wednesday. I didn't. I don't think I could do that and my evening ballroom dancing the same day, and I'd rather do the ballroom dancing. I love interacting with a partner. I figure most folks will keep coming on Monday because it fits their schedule They can get into the next session easily once they're in, though you can get into either of them easily now, since Wednesday is new. However, that's either, not both. Anyway, class went well. I did every regular dance and got at least part of all but two break dances, not counting the two before class. After class, my relief nurse came and took me home. I talked with my relief nurse and played Cross Stitch World both on the way, and on the way back. 

At home, I had lunch with my main nurse, his TV, forward Day by Day, and the rest of _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_, despite having to run well past lunch to finish. I did enjoy that book. Then I went to my computer. I read a few articles and some comics but mostly watched videos. Next, I wrote up some of Sunday's daily update right before dinner. I had dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, and the beginning of the manga _Overgeared 1_. After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished writing Sunday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and said hi to Ulty, Veronica/Anya, and Seb. I got one of Ulty's accounts, and Veronica/Anya's only account connected to my new account. After that, Dr. Faustus said hi. I got two more of their accounts connected to my new account. Then we played with me on Topaz Proudfoot, my new Hobbit. We finished all the content she needs to be not higher than five for and talked a fair bit about a game they've got me considering trying. I picked up the next contact and set her to go up a couple of levels. I worked on her storage while I continued talking with Dr. Faustus about the other game. Eventually, we said goodnight. I checked and played a tiny bit of Cross Stitch World, then wrote a little in this, soon switching to making notes to write from later. 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, August 2, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a bit before 2 am. So, I did make my first bedtime goal. I got up at 8:45 am because church starts at ten, so I didn't get quite 7 hours of being sleep ready, but it could have been worse. {Smile}

after breakfast, main nurse took me down to church. I arrived just as the announcements were starting. Auntie Barbra was still at the greeting table, and another parishioner was still helping with car doors. They congratulated me on getting there on time. {Smile}

I sat with Peg, and auntie Barbara sat right in front of me. I enjoyed the service. For lunch I sat with Auntie Barbara. My cousin Babs was nearby; with her granddaughter and two friends they've really hit it off with. I asked if she'd liked the books I'd given her, and she loves them, which is wonderful to hear. after lunch, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

When I got home from church, I went onto my computer. I mostly watched videos and read comics. I also checked out a few articles. After a while, I remembered to call my cousin, Kim, and did so. We had a nice talk. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update. I also did a bit of freewriting for my writing class. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got together with Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies, choosing to play Ana Marcelino, who is now my second-best badge collector. We had Pierogies choose the content, since he's on less often these days. We ran the first part of a Roman themed story arc until Pierogies left; he can sit only so long these days, which is why he's on so much less. The three left ran one more mission. After that, Kitten left to join the late-night short, large group event. Dennis and I talked, then said goodnight. Kitten came back after the late-night short, large group event, but just in time to say hi-bye before I left for dinner, which I had with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. I went back to my computer and drowsed until I treated my blood sugar. Then I did more freewriting for my creative writing class. I printed out the freewriting for class, figuring out why I couldn't get it to print the previous week. Next, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten unresponsive right where I left them. But Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up, with me on Peony. She has been my younger Hobbit, but I've made a second hobbit who's about the same age. We ran a story arc they'd made to show how Peony brought Topaz, my other young Hobbit, to the world of City of Heroes. It was hard for Peony and Dr. Faustus's character at first. Dr. Faustus suggested lowering the difficulty, but it was as low as it could go. When I told them this, I realized - and mentioned - that it might be so hard because we were mid-level and moderately low-level, kicked up to do high-level content. That improves what we can currently do but doesn't give us powers we'll learn later. They brought in a tough, high-level character of theirs. Things went much better after that. They can play more than one at a time. I don't know how to have them both contribute meaningfully to a battle at the same time, like Dr. Faustus, Kitten, Pierogies, and others can. Anyway, things went much better after that. After the story arc, we roleplayed introducing Topaz, my newest Hobbit, to one of Dr. Faustus's characters that she hadn't met. They showed her a bit of the game's world before we said goodnight. Then I did some auction house and storage on Peony, and auction house, storage and crafting on Ana. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World before I wrote in this. I switched to making notes in this to write from later. 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, August 1, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. I think that failure was because I didn't shut down, even leaving CCity of Heroes: Homecoming on to work on a badge on Ana in the background while I worked on this. I ended up talking to Kitten, and I'm sure that's part of why I got to bed so late. I seemed to manage without a nap, though I was sluggish before lunchtime. I tried treating blood sugar with inconclusive results. {smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and Forward Day by Day. We didn't watch TV during most of it because the cable was out until I was just finishing up. I don't count the last couple of minutes alone as TV with my meal. Then I went onto my computer. I read Comics and articles and watched videos right through the sluggishness that didn't respond well to treatment, and into lunch. By the end of lunch, I'd mostly lost the sluggishness, making me wonder if it was hunger. I continued watching videos and reading comics and articles into the afternoon, along with a little research into living options on the web. Eventually I wrote up Friday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Kitten and got them to help me work on badges for Ana Marcelino. We got four badges for Kitten, but none for Ana before Kitten left to join the late-night short, large-group event. I switched to Eirlyss Lloyds and ran it with them. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on her until I got called to dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, and _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_. 

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I chatted with Nox on Discord and responded to Kitten there. too. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Kitten still active. We teamed up and worked on badges for Ana Marcallio, getting three for both Ana and Kitten. Then we switched to another part of the game, where we worked on a couple of different types of badges. We got two of one kind for Kitten, then ten of a different kind for each of us. Next, we got the two Kitten got earlier for Ana, and two more similar but more intensive ones for Kitten. After that, I had to break to get ready for bed before I could get them for Ana because I ran out of time. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Ana. then updated her badge record. Then I began writing in this. I paused to check Cross Stitch World and play a little of it. Next, I wrote a little more in this and started some freewriting for my writing class. After that, I closed down several windows to help myself concentrate on making 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. 

Daily Update, July 31, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed several minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal again. Maybe this is really beginning to work. I can hope. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance Mambo class. However, my teacher started the class with teaching the styling differences between salsa and mambo, especially hand moves that are important in salsa, and not even there in mamo. I guess I was learning Mambo at home, because I never did get the arm moves down. I occasionally watched a video about them, but they weren't that easy to add, and they didn't seem that important, somehow. However, they looked both easier and more important when my teacher did them. So, I tried them when I was on my own. i have them for the first few steps, but then they get complicated enough, I can't keep them up. I also learned a move that's more for solo. I did dance with a couple of guys, and one gal a few times. I think her husband doesn't dance, possibly because of a disability. We ran up to the end of class, though not many danced towards the end. My main nurse brought me back home on the way. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way down and on the back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with main nurse and his TV. I didn't read anything so I could eat quickly and get ready for class. I still felt like I was arriving at the last minute, but they hadn't started yet. After I got back from class, I went onto my computer. I watched videos right through lunch and into the afternoon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I worked on the beginning of the week in-game auction house on the few characters. Next, I got ranged Olga and got the first mission of a story arc before I went to my villain supergroup meeting. Dr. Faustus and Patience were already there. We roleplayed a bit. Anya and another player came soon. With only five of use, and none of mine high enough level to get the good rewards this week, they chose to help me do the story arc I'd just gotten the first mission of. There was a lot of talk-missions... fun for me, but not sure about the others. Though we accidentally started with the first mission of another story arc. After the we properly started the right story arc. Dr. Faustus left when work called them away, but the rest stuck with me and finished the arc. We did a little roleplaying and a lot of visiting afterwards, but we eventually broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on ranged Olga. Then I checked the characters who'd put stuff up earlier and found some had sold. I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day, which was hard to concentrate on, so I read it again after dinner. 

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes Homecoming again. I found Dennis, and we connected his account with my new account that Dr. Faustus set up. We talked and teamed up for two missions that helped both of us with badges that will improve our characters before he said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on my character. Then I switched to my new account and Topaz Proudfoot, the hobbit I made there. I ran a few missions and got the mission that I needed to not be higher than her current level for. I did it, and ran a couple more missions, gaining a level. I stopped her from gaining more levels and did a few more missions before I stopped for the evening. Next, I worked on storage on Topaz. She's still too low-level for much more. Next, I wrote in this, breaking to check Cross Stitch World before finished writing and switched to making notes in this. I talked with Kitten, and we got their accounts connected with my new account, which led to finishing making notes in this late. 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, July 30, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. So I met my first bedtime goal! I know I consecrated on getting ready for bed and didn't let myself get sidetracked as much. I was only a little sidetracked this time. {Smile}

A while after lunch, I turned on my laptop, called up my email on it, and signed in for my counselling appointment. I warned her that I would have to leave promptly, even though signing in made me start a few minutes late. I had an appointment with my nutritionist just after this. We got right to the important stuff and worked pretty steadily. I was quite happy with how productive this was. Near the end, we scheduled our next appointment, not for next week, when a dentist appointment apparently conflicts, but the week after, when a dental appointment is enough later not to be a problem. I really need to look into two spaced so closely; maybe one has been cancelled. {Smile}

After the counselling, I tried to sign in for my appointment with my nutritionist, but I couldn't find the email for the link. I checked my phone and found a text saying she needed to reschedule. I misunderstood at first, but got it straightened out. However, I haven't heard back about when a new appointment might be. I'll have to keep an eye on that. {Smile}

In the afternoon, my main nurse and I went out. He dropped me at the Hilo branch of the public library, returning the stack of books set up to return, and left to run errands. I started browsing Manga and other books. I picked out a few, until I heard an announcement that the library was closing in half an hour, and it was a good time to check stuff out. I did check out what I picked out. Then I texted my main nurse about the closure. I figured he'd probably get back before they closed anyway, but that would be even more likely if I texted. I started reading _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_, one of the manga I got, while I waited. I was a fair way in when my nurse picked me up. I read more on the way home. {Smile}

My counselor never did call. I'll have to call them if they don't call soon. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer and watched a few videos before I turned on my laptop and had my counselling appointment. After the appointment, I watched a few videos while I was confused about rescheduling my nutritionist appointment, and more after I straightened it out. Then I read a few comics before I went to the library. When we got back, I went back onto my computer and finished Wednesday's daily update. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and tried to find something to do, but didn't find much before dinner. I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and _Wonder Cat Kyuuchan 5_. {Smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back onto my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I got Ana and ran a mission for badges that I set wrong, so it was really hard. I did get three badges at the end. As I finished, I realized that Dennis had said hi a couple of times. I was so focused on playing, I didn't notice when he did. I responded, and joined him in an invasion event, where we fight off the invaders. After that, I switched to Marigold Banks, and we did a badge mission he had that also got progress for both of us on a badge we're working on. Dennis and I said goodnight, and I went back to doing badge missions with Ana but only got three more badges when I expected six. I checked the wiki for the game, which suggested it might be the game's rules causing three badges not to award. I watched several videos while I came to terms with that. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, and tried again, with a different badge. I got it and another, but the one I kept trying might not be a badge. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on Ana, and updated her badge record. Then I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Olivia Ragnarson. Next, I began writing in this. I paused to check Cross Stitch world, then continued writing before I began to make notes. I wrote a bit more before I finished the notes. 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, July 29, 2026

The night before Wednesday, despite renewed interest in getting to bed earlier, I only managed to get to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I was doing fine until I checked _Tailored Realities_ by Brandon Sanderson. I got swept up by one of the stories, and it ate my margin and a bit more time, too. {rueful smile}

I called my financial Adviser's office and got the secretary on the first try. I told her about what she could help me with and arranged a call from my adviser tomorrow, I hope. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse took me down to the Church of the Holy Cross for my ballroom dance classes. When I got there, I realized it was our "free dance night," The middle night of the class, when we socialize, and just dance, rather than have lessons and practice with prescribed steps. It was great fun, I danced with several partners, as well as alone when had no partner. However, it's been hot this week, and this evening was no exception to that. I think that's why some folks lost steam in the second hour, and some began to leave. The more dedicated dancers kept at it for a while, but then they started to fold up. I texted my main nurse a couple of times, letting him know it was closing early. A few asked about my ride, and I explained that I'd texted Steve. A couple of the guys made a point to wait with me until Steve came, not that it was long. I was very happy they did. It's not a bad neighborhood, but it's pretty deserted as the night gets later. My main nurse soon came and took me home, surprised they'd stopped early, since they usually don't. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I went onto my computer. I read a few web comics and wrote up Tuesday's daily update before lunch. I read more web comics through lunch. Then I made my phone call with financial adviser's office. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming earlier than usual. I checked on my friends who play the game and let folks know on Discord that I was in the game. Then I began working on badges for Ana. I started running missions that could get 2+ badges for each mission the way I did them. I got so many, she significantly passed Carrie, my second-best badge collector - I'd gotten pretty close, working on Ana's badge for at least a few weeks. So now Ana is my second-best badge collector, and Carrie is my third-best badge collector, though they're still a bit close to feel their places are secure. I ran one mission that got only one badge at the end, because it was nearing dinner, and this was quick. Then I chatted with Nox on Discord.  I updated Ana's badge record, and told Kitten, Pierogies, Dennis and Shepherd on Discord about Ana's badge collecting success. Then I had dinner was with my main nurse and his TV. I didn't read anything so I wouldn't be late to my dance classes. After dinner, we went to my classes. {Smile}

After we got back, I went back to my computer. I checked Discord, and told Nox, Radio, and Haiden about Ana's badge collecting success. I also said goodnight to Nox and responded to Dennis and Kitten. Then I read a few comics before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I ran a story arc that got three more badges for Ana. Near the end, I said hi to Ulty, DV and another friend. I chatted with DV and my other friend while I updated Ana's badge record again and did auction house, storage, and crafting on Ana, too. Next, I began writing in this before a break that included checking and playing Cross Stitch World and closing windows. After that, I wrote more in this, then switched to making notes. I took short breaks to check things, including Amazon before I finished the 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, July 28, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal again, but a talk I had today has renewed my determination to actually start meeting them again. {Smile}

Before breakfast, I tried to print out a few paragraphs I'd written over the weekend. The printer flatly refused to communicate with my phone. It insisted "printer unavailable when I tried to print... several times in a row. So, after breakfast, I got onto my computer and emailed the paragraphs to my teacher. with an explanatory note, including that I couldn't print it out, but it wasn't a piece that students can really respond to anyway. My teacher mentioned it and a reply she'd already sent when I got to class. I checked it just now, and it looks quite helpful. I marked it as best I could. {Smile}

After emailing my teacher, my relief nurse took me down to my Creative Writing Class. I got there a bit early so my relief nurse could make an appointment of his own, but not so early I had to wait long before I could go in. That's when I talked with my teacher about the email I'd sent. The class went well. I found the lecture illuminating, and was able to help a couple of students when they read what they'd written, after class, my relief nurse took me back home

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and his TV, and Forward Day by Day. I had lunch in class. After we got back, I got onto my computer. I read web comics and squeezed in a little writing of Monday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I checked my characters. I moved Olivia Ragnarson to work on a badge. Then I got onto Aneira and went to her teen supergroup meeting. I found Ulty and Jawsome already roleplaying in the break room and joined them. I said hi to Veronica privately, shortly before she joined us. I think Ulty thought another member would come, but apparently not. A friend of Veronica's did come. We started a low-level taskforce when she arrived. We picking it because Veronica had a new version of her character who was just barely high enough level for that taskforce. We ran it with just the five us so we could roleplay and did fine. Veronica got several levels. Afterwards, we adjourned to the supergroup base and roleplayed a bit until our group broke up. I also squeezed in more writing of Monday's daily update. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Aneira. I was just finishing up when Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up with me on Seameownt for the first mission in a new story arc. After that mission, I broke for dinner with my relief nurse, his TV, a review of Forward Day by Day, and the beginning of "Firstborn" in _Tailored Realities_ by Brandon Sanderson. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dr. Faustus, and we completed the story arc... twice, since the last mission only counted for the holder, because you made a decision. We made different decisions, getting two badges each. Then I quickly finished Monday's daily update. Next, Dr. Faustus and I did another story arc before we said goodnight, though it was early for us. I worked on Seameownt's in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. After that, I checked Aneira and Ana to make sure I'd gotten their stuff done. I had. I also moved Olivia Ragnarson for badge work again. Then I worked on a list I'd started a while back. I took a break before I wrote in this. I closed windows and checked Cross Stitch World before I made notes in this. I took a break during the notes to check _Tailored Realities_ by Brandon Sanderson and got caught up in the story I'd started at dinner. However, I slowly recognized that I've read it, so, I moved bookmark. Next, I finished my notes. 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, July 27, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed right at 2 am. I think it was after, but maybe by less than a minute. I still need to work on meeting at least one goal, but if I have to miss them all, this is a good miss. {Smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my First Timer's Line Dance Class. I walked in on an announcement that they're starting a new class on Wednesday which will be their first Timer's Line Dance Class, while ours will change to Absolute Beginner's Line Dance Class. I'll have to tell a friend at church who switched to another Wednesday class. She seems to like it, but hey, let her know to watch for a choice. The class went well. I danced at least most of every dance, even the "break dances, which are sketchily taught during the break, as opposed to more thoroughly taught during the regular parts of the class. After class, my relief nurse took me straight home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and his TV before he took me to class. After he brought me back, I had lunch with my relief nurse, his TV Forward Day by Day, and "Probability of Approaching Zero" in _Tailored Realities_. It was so short, I finished it, and tried to start the next story, "Defending Elysium," but my mind really wanted to sit with "Probability Approaching Zero." Maybe I could have started a manga or a different-enough book by another author, but another story by the same author wanted to be more separate, somehow. After lunch, I went onto my computer. I read many web comics and watched several videos before I got around to writing up my daily update. I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming so late, I only had time to check friends before dinner. That was tacos with my relief nurse and his TV. I decided against trying to read a book because my relief nurse's tacos don't leave hands clean enough to turn pages. {Smile}

I rushed back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming because I'd seen Dennis and Kitten before dinner. I checked on my friends who play the game. I saw both Dennis and Kitten and said hi to both. I talked with Dennis. We did one mission he had which got my character closer to a badge. Then we said goodnight. I switched to Ana, and joined the league Kitten was in. I tried to say hi to Kitten a few times, but Kitten didn't respond. I suspect they were both concentrating on the game, and a bit tired to think of a response. The league broke up soon after, but some folks stayed long enough to help me get two badges on Ana while getting them for themselves. Next, we visited while I did some auction house storage and crafting on her. That lasted until Dr. Faustus said hi. They told me what they wanted to work on. I switched to Seameownt, who was just before something they wanted to do. They got a character who needed a little more yet. We teamed up and ran two story arcs, starting with one Seamownt was partway through. We finished that one and started another Seameownt was also partway through. They switched characters after a mission, and we finished my second story arc. After that, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Seameownt. Then I updated Ana's badge record. I wrote a little in this, then broke to check Cross Stitch World. I wrote more in this before switching to making notes to write from later. I closed windows and checked Amazon 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, July 26, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed not many minutes after 2 am. I did miss my first bedtime goal, but less than the previous night. I got up at 8:45 am because church starts at ten. After I got back, I took an hour-long nap to compensate for the shorter sleep. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. I drowsed on way. We arrived near the end of the announcements. I sat with main nurse and enjoyed the service. I spotted Babs and her granddaughter, so I sat with them for lunch. which included an unusually large selection of dessert muffins when I went back for dessert. Then my main nurse took me back home. I enjoyed the scenery and chatting with my nurse on the way home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and his TV. When I got back from church, I had a nap. After the nap, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched videos. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and went back to reading web comics. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game again. I started a mission on Ana but pulled her out while I went to dinner with main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and the very end of _Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku_. I said the day before that I'd Finished it. Not Quite. I had three more pages of notes on the translation which helped mostly with modern cultural references common in Japan, but not always elsewhere. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I talked with Nox. Then I read comics and watched videos. I also wrote a little in this and tackled the prompt for Creative writing again. I ended up throwing out everything, between detailing the problem with my writing and downplaying a problem elsewhere that has affected my writing. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and did the mission on Ana, plus a hunt and another mission, finishing the story arc. I did the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Ana. Then I quickly dashed off notes in this with a couple of breaks, one to check Cross Stitch World. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {smile}
