Daily Update, November 29, 2025

On Saturday after breakfast, I worked on a few bills. Most alarming was my health insurance, which was in danger of getting cancelled if I didn't pay by Monday. While trying to figure out how to sign in for online payment, I discovered that the local office is open 9am-2pm on Saturdays. I told my nurse, who offered to take it down, but I decided to go with him to ask about a couple of other things. It got paid and the other things were discussed but not acted on. Then he took me back home. {Smile}

Back at home, I got onto my computer and read articles on the web into lunch. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I finished improving my higher-level teen supergroup member. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that, I hunted a type of enemy for a badge on my second-best badge collector until I noticed someone advertising the later short, large-group event. I got my merit-farmer and joined it, not remembering until too late that I really want to take my character who's new to the end game, because she's working on a badge when she runs these. Well, next time. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I read articles on the web and tried to write up Friday's daily update. However, I kept going back to web articles especially ones about a bad fire in Hilo, Hawai'i, or to playing Cross Stitch World. I did also try to talk to my main nurse about cutting back nursing hours next year. He helped me see that this decision should involve my financial adviser and the head of the nursing company in the same conversation, probably with me in there too. I finally finished my daily update and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I spotted that new taskforce being run at higher difficulty, though not the kind to qualify for extra badges. I joined it and ran it with a nearly full team. I didn't get any new badges, but I tried. I did learn that one badge I've missed twice now expects you to get it done before the mission is done. If you stay afterwards, it soon kicks you out. Next, I worked on in-game auction house and storage before making more notes in this. I did take a break to play Cross Stitch World and check the suction house in City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I finished notes in this before saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
