Daily Update, September 6, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I missed even my first bedtime goal. I still got up at 8:45, because I need a little more time to get to church for the 10 am service. {smile}

My main nurse took me to church after breakfast. I drowsed on way down. He dropped me off, then left to do a couple of errands before joining me. I arrived while Laurie was still at the greeter's table. She put my nametag into a new holder, since the old holder was torn up rather badly. It still needs new paper, but that' less critical. It can wait until the fellow who does those comes back. I walked in near the beginning of the announcements and sat with Auntie Barbara. Someone else was teaching Sunday school. It was a nice service. {Smile}

Afterwards, I sat with my cousin Babs for lunch on the lanai. She's enjoying _Brigands and Breadknives_ by Travis Baldree very much. She said its' very different from his earlier books, but she still likes it a lot. I agree completely. After lunch, my main nurse took me home. I drowsed on the way back. {Smile}

I ate breakfast with my main nurse and his TV before going down to church. When I got home afterwards, I took a nap and finally felt a bit better. Then I went onto my computer. I watched videos for a fair while and even talked on Discord a little before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I played through two and much of a third story arc on Bellae Magnolias, a low-level character who's a minikin, a fantasy race I made that's similar to Hobbits and gnomes, but not quite like either. I stopped to eat dinner with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day and _Ocean of Secrets 1_, which I continued reading after dinner until I finished the first chapter. {Smile}

After dinner and reading, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I wrote some of Saturday's daily update. I paused to talk with Nox. I also watched videos, browsed on Amazon, and read a couple of book samples. Next, I finished writing Saturday's daily update. This meant I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming later than I usually like. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr. Faustus. We teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga. We did two missions, finishing a contact. We said goodnight late. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee-ranged Olga. After that, I tried to send a classmate a copy of my story, but later I realized it bounced. I browsed on Amazon and watched videos. I wrote in this and made notes here, too. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 5, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed just a few minutes after midnight. I didn't make my first bedtime goal, but at least I was close. {smile}

After lunch, I pushed myself to finish a rough draft of "Snow in Hawai'i" for my creative writing class. I finished the scene I was partway into, as well as two callbacks later. I didn't get it printed out, but that should be the easy part. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 2_. I continued reading the last until I finished a chapter. Then I went onto my computer and watched videos through lunch. Next, I finished the current rough draft of "Snow in Hawai'i," finishing the scene I'd started, and adding two call-backs to it later. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogis while checking on my friends who play the game, and we teamed up. Dennis quickly joined us. I picked Pinlotta, who happens to be my 7th best badge collector. We ran a few of Dennis's missions, because he had some ready or easy to get. Then Pierogies left. I did one more mission with Dennis before he left too. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Pinlotta. Next, I wrote some of Friday's daily update before I ate dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 2_. I ran late to finish the book. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished Friday's daily update. Then I watched a few videos before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I watched some more videos, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game again. This time I found Dr. Faustus, so I said hi. They were busy with the last mission of a taskforce, so I ran a mission on Topaz Proudfoot. Next, we teamed up, with me on melee-ranged Olga because she has a bunch of content to go through. We did two missions which finished one contact. A few more missions almost finished another contact before we said goodnight. After they left, I got two more contacts set up, and a third slightly started, doing a talk. I also talked with Dr. Faustus on Discord about stuff left to do, including three contacts I need to do stuff for someone else before they'll even introduce me to them. I worked on melee-ranged Olga's in-game auction house, storage and crafting, and checked the in-game auction house on others, too. After that, I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote and made note in this. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 4, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a few minutes after 2 am. I didn't quite make my first bedtime goal, but I didn't miss it by much. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Mambo class. I read a good portion of _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 1_ on the way down. It's due too soon to get both it and its first sequel done in time only reading it at meals like usual. Class went well. I learned some new moves and clarified some I was confused about. I danced with one fellow a lot, and by myself when he danced with another gal. Also with the teacher, clarifying a move. After class, my main nurse took me home again. I read the rest of _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 1_, finishing shortly before I got home. {Smile}

I ate breakfast with my main nurse and his TV. I didn't try to read because class is too early to slow myself down by reading over breakfast. After class, I settled onto my computer. I watched videos and read web comics through lunch. Then I went into City of Heroes; Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and found Div. We started talking, then teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga after I did the beginning of the weekend auction house on her. Div helped me get the other half of the level I wanted in one quick but high difficulty, high-level mission. Next, we talked some more. I also talked to Seb and Patience through the supergroup's channel, letting them know I was in the game, but busy with a friend for a while longer. At the meeting's official start time, I said goodbye to Div and went to the meeting, joining Seb and Patience. Our leader came is just after me. Dr. Faustus and Anya joined a little later. I trained melee-ranged Olga the level she gained with Div. We ran a mission that Anya had that gets a badge that unlocks access to powers. Melee-ranged Olga can't use it yet, but when she can, she has it now. After that, I switched to Hezabell for the fantasy-themed taskforce, which is still a level too high for melee-ranged Olga. The taskforce went quite well. Afterwards, the meeting broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on melee-ranged Olga, followed by the beginning of the weekend auction house on her and some others. Then I started _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 2_ before dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and more _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 2_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I finished writing up Thursday's daily update, with a long break to watch videos and read web comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my weekend auction house on Poppy Daniels and found a great windfall. It was large enough, I asked in the General channel, which is open to anyone who wants to listen, if anyone had made a mistake in the auction house. I didn't find anyone who knew about it, so I gave up and got Topaz Proudfoot. I did two missions on her to finish one contact, and one more mission to continue another contact. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Topaz, and checked the weekend auction house on others. I distributed much but not all the windfall to my main three who fund other characters more than any others do. After that, I closed windows on my computer. Then I wrote in this and made notes in this. I took a break to watch some videos. Next, I did the beginning of the weekend auction house on one more character. I ended my day with the Lord's Prayer, saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 3, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. It was only a couple minutes, but I made my first bedtime goal. {Smile}

Starting just before breakfast, I got onto my laptop and signed in for my online counselling appointment. I waited a bit before my counselor came on, but it turned out I was early. I hadn't noticed. The session went well, with more planning for how to handle the stuff that's accumulated in my house. {Smile}

A while after lunch, my main nurse took down to the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library. I took with me _Cat + Gamer 1_ and _Cat + Gamer 2_. I read the second one all the way down, since I was less than half-way done when I started. I was a little over halfway when I arrived, so I returned _Cat + Gamer 1_, and went to look over their manga collection. I picked out _Overgeared 6_, _Cat + Gamer 3_, _Cat + Gamer 4_ and _Cats with Jobs_. Three are just continuing series I've stared, so I didn't bother to look them over. I looked of Cats with Jobs a little, but the author wrote both _Monster Cats_ and _Yokai Cats_, so it didn't take long to reassure myself it was similar. Then I finished reading _Cat + Gamer 2_ and returned it. Next, I started _Cat + Gamer 3_ and read it while I waited for my main nurse to pick me up. When he did, I continued reading it on the way home. {Smile}

After counselling, I switched from my laptop to my desktop computer, which I usually just call my computer. I watched videos and read web comics right through lunch. I began writing more of Wednesday's daily update after lunch, until I stopped to get ready for the trip to the library. After I got back, I went back to my computer and finished Wednesday's daily update. Then I dashed into City of Heroes: Homecoming to get together with Pierogies, Dennis, and Kitten. We ran the last mission of the story arc I'd started on my main Anka the day before. Next, we ran much of the next story arc from the same contact. Kitten ducked out first, telling me when asked that the late night short, large-group event needed them. Pierogies and Dennis helped me with one more mission. After that, Pierogies had to leave because he'd sat long enough. I left, too, saying goodnight, because I'd been called to dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 1_, which is due a lot sooner than _Cat + Gamer 3_, so it gets priority. Both _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 1_ and _A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch 2_ are due in a few days, and have been renewed enough, they need to be returned, done or not. {smile}

After dinner, I cleaned myself up with help from my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten still active, so we teamed up. They helped me finish the story arc I'd started before dinner on Anka. Next, they said to do the talks that were now ready, because they were too tired to keep playing. I did and finished the next set of talks in the main story arc Anka has been working on recently. After that, I worked on some in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Anka. Next, I got melee-ranged Olga, and tried a mission, but I found that I preferred hunting outside, in the main game world. I wanted to get her a level, but I only got halfway before it got late enough, I stopped to work on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on melee-ranged Olga, then finish those on Anka. I also worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Poppy Daniels, Lynn Beecher, and Olivia Ragnarson, with a break to check Cross Stitch World and play a little. Next, I after that, wrote in this and made notes in this, pausing to research a few things. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 2, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed just a few minutes after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal, but got closer than the night before, at least. {Smile}

At dinner, I realized I hadn't reminded my main nurse about the pupu social being this night since last week Wednesday. He hadn't prepared anything or even picked anything up. So, after a hasty dinner with TV but no reading, we stopped at Taco Bell on the way to class. My main nurse picked out some tacos and nachos for me to take. Then my main nurse took me to the Church of the Holy Cross for the ballroom dance pupu social. I visited with folks a bit and did a dance or two before we had a late dinner. After dinner, we did several more dances, including two line dances, a few partner dances, and a few dances I did solo, since I didn't have a partner, but knew a very little about dancing that kind without a partner. I really need to work out more solo dancing, since I don't have a steady partner. No tacos came home with us, though I spotted a few going home with others. My main nurse took me home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way down and the way home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, forward Day by Day, and _Cat + Gamer 1_, finishing the last. Then I went onto my computer. I read a few web comics, then started writing up Tuesday's daily update, I worked into lunch, then took a break, starting _Cat + Gamer 2_. The Book Seat I got for Dad sits nicely on my keyboard, so reading wasn't a problem, and typing was getting awkward while eating. I went back to writing Tuesday's daily update after lunch, finishing it. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I spotted Pierogies, but he soon left. I said hi to Kitten, but they were busy in a full raid. So, I played on Anka Beecher, the new, low-level version of my best badge collector I made to name my new account. I did a story arc and gained a level. After that, I checked with Kitten, who was now free, but only for half an hour. So, we did a mission that I hoped would be more fun than the talks coming up in the story arc we'd been working on. After the mission, we talked a bit before they left. Then I did another story arc on Anka Beecher, gaining another level, and turned off experience. I did some storage and auction house on her. Then I checked on my friends who play the game again and found out that Kitten was back. We worked on the story arc we'd been doing before today. I tried to share the talks as feasible. This continued until I got called to dinner. I ate with just my main nurse and his TV for speed. Then he took me to the pupu social. {Smile}

After I got back home, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I got my high-level Anka and started another contact. I also did more talks with the contact Kitten and I are working on. New clues stopped showing, and one may have disappeared, even as more notices appeared. I investigated a story arc, then closed windows on my computer. Then I quickly made notes in this, thinking it was too late to do any real writing. Then, as i stared to get ready for bed, I realized I had misread the clock. So, I wrote in this, taking a break to read articles, and got ready for bed just in time. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}

Daily Update, September 1, 2026

The night before Tuesday, I got to bed several minutes after 2 am. I missed my first bedtime goal by a margin. I really need to work on that. {rueful smile}

After breakfast, I tried to print out the story that I'd worked on over the week. However, I'd marked the new parts as suggestions. In the past, it printed the suggestions is green and the accepted parts in black, which made it easy to find new parts. This time, it didn't print the suggestions at all. So, I put the printout in the scratch paper pile I've started. {smile}

Then my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. I did work out how to handle future printout, but late enough, the choice was continuing to class, arriving somewhat early, or turning around fixing it up, and arriving distinctly late. I chose to arrive early and explain why I didn't have printouts. I repeated myself a few times, as people kept pushing that they like printouts, but I just couldn't make them work that day. I ate lunch during class, since it's very much during the lunch hour. After class, my relief nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down and the way back, when I was done figuring out a better way to handle the printing. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then, after we got home from my class, I got onto my computer. I read web comics and watched videos before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went straight to teen supergroup meeting on Aneira Lloyds. I began roleplaying with Veronica and Jawsome's character, slipping in checking on my friends who play the game before concentrating on the roleplaying. Nyxy's Pella joined us. Ulty didn't answer when I said hi, but that's easy to miss if you're busy. The four who were there picked a fantasy taskforce that gives particularly good rewards this week and went to the contact. We found a fellow already recruiting, but his team filled too fast for all four of us to join, and we didn't want to split up. So, we recruited four more to fill our team and ran the taskforce. After we finished, three of the four we recruited left. The per who stayed joined the four supergroup members in running a mission that helped two of our members, and maybe the extra, too. The extra then left, and the four members got together in our supergroup base, where we both roleplayed in-character, and talked out-of-character, too.  I worked on what storage I could do in the base and checked on my friends who play the game as the talk wound down, becoming less frequent. Eventually, the others left one by one. When the last left, I went out of the base to work on more of the in-game storage, plus auction house and crafting until dinner. I ate with my relief nurse, his TV, and _Cat + Gamer 1_, nearing end of _Cat + Gamer 1_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I began to write up Monday's daily update. I took a longer break to watch videos and read web comics than I intended. Then I talked with Nox on Discord, which reminded me to finish Monday's daily update, which I did. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and spotted Dr. Faustus. I said hi, and asked to team. We did with me on Topaz Proudfoot, my newest Hobbit, and finished some of their missions. After that, was did a mission of mine that finished a contact, and a few more that finished a story arc I had started. Then we said goodnight. I worked on storage, and checked her in-game auction house, but she's still low-level to do that regularly. I read some web comics and wrote a little in this. Next, I checked and played Cross Stitch World. I closed windows on my computer. After that, I wrote more in this, before shifting to making notes in this to write from later. 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, August 31, 2026

The night before Monday, I got to bed right at 2 am... or just after if you count the time to walk around the bed and climb in. I was so close to my first bedtime goal... {smile}

After breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to auntie Sally's Lu'au Hale for my First Timer's Line Dance class. I arrived early, so I got to talk with a gal before class. I managed to miss the first dance when I took a last-minute trip to the little room. Otherwise, I did all the dances, even the not-as-formal ones during our breaks. I talked to another gal during one of those breaks too. It was our last class of this session, since next week is Labor Day, which is a state holiday. My relief nurse came and took me home afterwards. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down, and the way back home. {Smile} 

I had breakfast with my relief nurse and his TV. I didn't try to read anything because I wanted to make sure I wasn't late to class. After class, I had lunch with my relief nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer. I checked my email, and made out a check to Helping Hands Hale, nursing company that takes care of me. The nursing company secretary came and picked up check, which covers the next month. However, we barely talked. Next, I checked an email and sent it to my financial adviser. I also tried to call their office but got their answering machine. I did leave a message. After that, I read web comics and articles and watched videos. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I spotted the later long, large-group event, and joined it on Ana Marcelino. I ran it and talked with Dennis while running it at first. After the event was over, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on her after the event was over. Next, I ate dinner, which was tacos with my relief nurse, his TV, and _Cat + Gamer 1_. Despite tacos being messy to eat, I actually kept enough of my left hand clean enough to turn pages while I ate. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then Ana Marcelino in particular got invited to a special run of a taskforce set in Ancient Rome. I got a badge she was missing from it. I worked on her in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then I said goodnight to Nox on Discord. This reminded me to write up Sunday's daily update, which I did. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I looked around for something to get into and ended up choosing another run of that taskforce in ancient Rome. The leader recognized me, so I asked which character to bring. He chose Carrie Overstreet, who happens to be my third best badge collector. I hoped to get a badge on her for this, but it didn't quite qualify. Still, we had a good run. When it was over, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Carrie. Then I updated Ana Marcelino's badge record. After that, Wolf said hi, and we talked. I wrote in this. Then I revised my story... changing the part I'd written a few days before quite a lot because I discovered that sledding in Ancient Hawai'i was done very differently from how I'd assumed it would be. When I found a good stopping place, I closed windows on my computer. Next, I made notes in this, then checked 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}

Daily Update, August 30, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. So, I did meet my first bedtime goal. I got up at 1:45 to give myself a little more time to get ready for church. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. I played Cross Stitch World on the way. I got there during the prelude, even before the announcements, though signing four cards meant I walked in as the announcements began. I sat with Peg, since Auntie Barbara was teaching Sunday.; She can and sat with us when they finished and came in. The bishop was there - his last visit before retirement. Well, he explained that technically they don't retire, but they can "resign due to advanced age." {Smile}

I actually sat with him and his wife during lunch - primarily because my cousin Babs, her granddaughter, and their friend were on the other end of the table. I sat between them, as did our deacon. I talked with them all during lunch... well, the beginning and end. The middle had a series of talked by our deacon, our junior warden (since the senior warden was away), and our bishop himself. {Smile}

Afterwards, I had a bit of a time getting our deacon, our bishop, and our bishop's wife together to tell them about the pictures my friend Charlotte kept on her wall of the time they brought her holy communion. She had a wall filled with pictures of people she liked to remember. Almost all were relatives, but three or four pictures of our bishop, his wife, and our deacon the time our bishop came to her house to give her holy communion. They were touched to hear that. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way back. {Smile}

I had breakfast with main nurse and his TV. I didn't read anything, since I wanted to get off to church in a timely manner. After church, I got onto my computer. I read web comics and began writing up Saturday's daily update. However, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming before I was done. I checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Kitten, who was busy with the early long, large-group event. Then I wrote some more of Saturday's daily update, checking back once in a while. I stopped when Kitten came and joined me after the event. We started a story arc they're interested in with me on Anka. Then we broke for later short, large-group event, which Kitten got into, but I didn't. The zone was full when I tried. So I wrote a bit more of Saturday's daily update while I waited. Kitten came back, and we did more of the story arc until they were slow to come out of a mission. When Kitten did come out, I think they joined the late night short, large-group event. I also talked briefly with Jenny's Player, who said hi. I finished Saturday's daily update and shared it just before dinner. I ate with main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. 

After dinner I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to my computer. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Ulty and Divi, and talked with them, particularly Divi. Next, I read a few web comics. After that I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game again. I also worked on the in-game auction house. I got melee-ranged Olga, and did a hunt on her, followed by auction house and storage on her. Before I found something else, Dr. Faustus said hi. They had a mission that could help with a badge that I found that Nani'akea, my fifth best badge collector, needed. So, I worked on it and couple of similar badges while waiting for them to finish the mission they were in. Then we did the mission, and another mission which was less related than we thought. Next, we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Nani'akea. After that, I checked and played a little Cross Stitch World. I closed windows and watched a few short videos. Then I wrote in this 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, August 29, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed shortly before 2 am. So, I made my first bedtime goal. {Smile}

After breakfast, I worked on my story. Well, I tried to. I wrote and revised a little and spent a fair bit of time coming up with nicknames for four women who aren't saying anything about being goddesses and are even avoiding using their full names. I stopped there, but I went back and added more as I was writing this up before bed. The scene is by no means done, but at least it's better started. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse, his TV, and Forward Day by Day. Then I went onto my computer. I worked on my story, then watched some short videos and read a couple of web comics over lunch. I wrote up Friday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and found Kitten on a team, so I didn't bother them. I also checked characters who'd started their weekend, in-game auction house. After that, I checked on my friends who play the game again. Now, Kitten was free, so we teamed up, but they joined the later short, large-group event when they thought I'd be slow getting going. So, I did too. After we ran it, we did a story arc with me on Anka, the fully developed version of Anka Beecher. Kitten said the story arc would prepare for another story arc that I've started on Ana Marcelino, but Ana done less of the content that sets up stuff in that arc, so Anka might get it done more quickly. Kitten went quiet just after I took the last mission. That was timed, so I had to finish soon. I ran it solo, since we'd got it in a way where we couldn't add anyone after we started. I managed to finish right before dinner, to my surprise It looked like it would run even longer. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, and _Cat + Gamer 1_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I talked with Nox 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 couple of characters. Next, I worked by myself on a couple of long badges Ana Marcelino still needs. I got most of the rest of the way on both before Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up with me on melee-ranged Olga. We finished the story arc we'd started a couple of nights ago. Mysty and her friend joined us for the last couple of missions. After that, Mysty wanted to do a trial for a friend. I settled Olga down, turning on experience to get one more level when I play her again while I did. I switched to Ana Marcelino because she needed badges from the trial they wanted, having missed it until now. Mysty's friend joined us, a friend I rarely see now. They recruited the rest of a team, then we ran the trial. Ana got two badges. Then half the team left, including Dr. Faustus because they had things to do for the next day. The four of us left ran a four-person trial. Next, we visited until the others left one by one. I worked on the in-game auction house storage and crafting on the characters I'd played that day. After that, I talked with Kitten on Discord. I also finished the two badges I'd worked on earlier on Ana Marcelino. Then I did some storage and updated her badge record. Next, I checked Cross Stitch World before I wrote in this. I stopped to close windows on my computer and ended up watching a video and reading an article, as well as browsing another article or two. After that, 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, August 28, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed slightly after 2 am, so I missed my first bedtime goal by seconds, okay maybe a minute if you don't count it until I walk around the bed, adjusting the blankets, and get in. I'll have to try harder. {resigned smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: mambo class. The teacher showed us some moves I'm sure are in the intermediate list, and I think I'm getting them, though with Practice I'm getting better. I danced with a few other students, and talked with some, too. After class, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

After lunch, I tried to call my cousin Nancy and Auntie Barbara. Auntie Barbara answered first. I let her know how Kim and Aunt Valerie are getting along. Then we caught up on other things before ending the call. Nancy called me back a while later, and I updated her on Kim and Aunt Valerie before catching up with each other and sharing similar experiences. It was so nice talking with both of them. {Smile}

I ate breakfast with my main nurse and his TV. I had to leave too quickly to read anything. After I got back from class, I went onto my computer. I watched, videos and read web comics over and after lunch, until I stopped to make the phone calls. The phone call with Nancy ended right when the villain supergroup meeting usually begins. It had been cancelled, but at least Patience isn't in the Discord where that was announced, so I went to where we usually meet on melee-ranged Olga. Sure enough, Patience was there, and Anya was talking with her. I joined them, and checked with Seb through Discord, but he was busy. Patience, Anya and I got a story arc through a flashback system. They had me pick, so I picked the one I did the night before and really enjoyed. It's newer, so less familiar, though Anya assured me she doesn't know the villain content well. I really don't, either. Anya left soon after it was over. Kitten said hi, but I barely said hi back, since I was busy talking with Patience, which went on for a fair while. She left just after I finished auction house and storage on melee-ranged Olga, including beginning of the weekend auction house. By then, Cat had gone quiet and faded out. So, I did my beginning of the weened auction house on a couple more characters before dinner. I ate with my main nurse, his TV, Forward Day by Day, and _Cat + Gamer 1_. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I wrote up Thursday's daily update, with breaks for reading web comics and watching videos. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I read another web comic and watched some videos before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game again. This time I stayed in the game, playing a bit on Anka Beecher, then doing some of the in-game auction house and storage on her. I also did the beginning of the weekend in-game auction house on one more character, who I'd forgotten earlier. After that, I checked the beginning of the weekend auction house on others before I wrote in this. Then I checked out a few videos before I made notes in this. I took a break to answer Kitten on Discord. When I was done, I closed windows on my computer. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
