Daily Update, October 23, 2025

On Thursday, I settled down at my computer to have breakfast during my video counselling session, only to discover the counselling was an hour later than I expected. I had breakfast at my computer anyway, since moving back to watch TV with my main nurse seemed more trouble than it was worth. I just read _The Unjust Steward_ by Miguel Escobar and web articles while I ate. Later, I had my video counselling. The session was good. We talked about planning for my future, especially the transition from 24-hour nursing care to enough less that I can afford it long-term. It's not easy to face how much change that needs to be next year, but it's necessary. {smile}

I tried to call my financial adviser both before and after my counselling. I didn't get them either time. I tried again after lunch, and finally got the secretary, who passed me to my adviser. She helped me with some questions I had about setting up an account for Dad. It will require more steps than she mentioned in a letter. {Smile}

I read webcomics and wrote up my daily update over and after lunch. Then, after the phone call, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found that Div was there. We talked a lot. Then we teamed up and did several missions of a moderately high-level character of mine. Pierogies said hi as we started what Div said was the last one for him. Pierogies joined it at the end. Div stuck around for one more mission, then left because it was pretty late for him. Pierogies stuck around for one more mission, finishing that contact. Then Pierogies left. I did a bit of storage and crafting until Dennis said hi. We teamed up and quickly fit in a couple of missions before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, then did a little storage and crafting until Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked about who to bring. I suggested a couple of my characters, and chose a circus gal. As we were trying to roleplay meeting for the first time, Dennis said hi. all three of us teamed up, and did a mission of mine, then one of Dennis's with the same enemies. Then Dennis said goodnight, and Dr. Faustus and I did two more missions. Next, Dr. Faustus and I said goodnight. I did a bit of storage in the game, then made notes in this, breaking to write a short note to Radio. I finished the evening with the Lord's Prayer and forward Day by Day. {Smile}
