Daily Update. October 5, 2025

On Sunday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. We arrived during the announcements an sat in Dad's parents' pew. It was a nice service. Our former assistant priest officiated as supply priest. Afterwards, we ate on the lanai and actually ran low on both main courses and dessert. {Smile}

Afterwards, my main nurse took me to Charlotte's, where I visited after a short wait. After a while, my main nurse came and visited too. We watched a service on TV with her for a while. Then we left when home communion came After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Oh! A friend on Facebook asked why I don't use artificial sweeteners. Well, saccharine tastes bitter, not sweet, aspartame gives me quite nasty migraines, and sucralose drives my blood sugar up worse than sugar does. I'm okay with sorbitol in toothpaste, but I haven't found it anywhere else. I haven't tried stevia, but with all my other problems, I'm not too hopeful.

On ride to church, the wait at Charlotte's, and the ride home, I played Cross Stitch World. When I got home, I read articles and watched videos on the web and played a little more Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular shard, collecting things that dropped int eh auction overnight, and upgrading bids that were still waiting. After that, I checked on my friends who play. I shifted to my usual server, and got my third best badge collector, managing to just miss the Halloween badge event she still needs. So, I trick0or-treated until Dennis said hi. Dennis and I teamed up, doing a few missions before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I read articles and watched videos on the web before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I started to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my friends who play the game but went back out to read web comics. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and found I'd just missed another of those badge events my third best badge collector needs. I started trick-or-treating, in hopes one would happen, and the group would do it. Then Dr. Faustus said hi, and we teamed up after I got a giant monster with the trick-or-treaters. Dr. Faustus and I did several missions. Then we tried to do another of those badge events, but the folks who might help had just done one. Dr. Faustus tried to tell me, but I missed him saying that. I'm not too good at reading chat while playing. I really need to work harder at that. Anyway, we went back to doing missions, but we only did a couple more before he left. After that, I worked on the auction house and storage on the two characters I'd used much that day. Then I made notes in this, with breaks to read articles on the web and play Cross Stitch World. After more notes, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to check on friends who play. I also checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular server. I finished the evening with The Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
