Daily Update, December 26, 2024

On Thursday, a little while after breakfast, my nurse took me down to an appointment he'd made for me with a barber. The gal took me in and cut my hair without washing it first, which is the way to get it the right length. My hair is wavy when dry, but straight when wet, which makes it really hard to guess what it will look like dry if you cut it wet. I have found no one who's a good guesser under those circumstances. No one. but this gal cut it dry, and I think it turned out perfectly. {SMILE}

I did my salsa dancing warmup set with one false start after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening. Then I took a break, watching some of a video, before doing one less structured piece. I wasn't quite as tired as the day before, but I was too tired to continue. still, with the false start, I probably got a little over 15 minutes this time.  A while after I finished, I did my head exercises. {Smile}

After my haircut, I came back home, started lunch, and hopped into Vindictus. I'm really getting frustrated with that game suddenly. Just before Christmas, they had a larger than usual update which has really reduced the money-making options for less skilled players. I'd been using them to try to compensate partially for not being as skilled as one now needs to be to get similar rewards. One cost is greatly reduced, but the in-game stores I've checked haven't lowered their prices, nor have the auction house prices become more favorable. This makes that game a lot less fun. I may have to find another game, or an activity to do instead. For this day, I just hopped over to City of Heroes: Homecoming earlier. There, I worked on an extra project until Kitten. Pierogies, and an acquaintance got me into a holiday trial. I changed from a low-level character to a high-level character for the trial. After that, we ran a few missions with me still on my high-level character, finishing one story arc and advancing another. That took me up to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with breaks to play a fair bit of Cross Stitch World and read comics. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I joined Kitten, who wanted to join a group that was running missions around my character's low level. We ran several missions with them. Kitten left when she was too tired to play well. I kept going, finishing two story arcs and starting a third, but I'll do them again when I've started those contacts myself. I also talked to Nox on the chat server. Then, after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming much of the evening, I danced. Then I watched much of a video before I danced some more. After that, I finished the video and started writing and making notes in this. Next, I checked something on Vindictus before I finished writing and making notes in this. {Smile}
