Daily Update, December 24, 2025

Today is Christmas, so if you celebrate - whether secularly or religiously- I hope you have a Merry Christmas! If you don't celebrate either way, I hope you have a nice day. {SMILE}

Yesterday was Wednesday, and Christmas Eve. So, in the late afternoon, my main nurse took me down to church. Then he left to get his family. They brought two cars because this included not only my nurse, his wife and two daughters, but son and son's girlfriend, who are here from college. It was a nice service, though we had no priest, but we didn't need one for a service of readings alternating with carols. Yes, that was the whole thing. It was lovely, especially the music. I said goodbye to my nurse's family in the parking lot, as did my nurse. Then my main nurse brought me home. {SMILE}

After breakfast, I read comics on the web, even catching up partway on one that I've been reading more slowly. I continued over lunch. After lunch, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting until Kitten said mew. We got together and started a story arc my best badge collector never got around to for a badge. I set the difficulty too high, so we restarted. Pierogies said hi at a great time to get invited to the team then. We did okay with more help until Kitten had to leave. It was slow, but manageable. I discovered a second badge you can get from the story arc, but I didn't get it then. We did get me the main badge. After that, I went to church. {Smile}

When I came back, I ate dinner with my main nurse before going back to my computer. I began writing up Tuesday's daily update. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and did a little in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Then Kitten said hi. We talked about the story arc from the afternoon. Kitten suggested something I'd begun to realize might be better: run it at minimal difficulty. We did and quit and restarted when we didn't get the badge in the middle mission. We went over strategy and tried again. This time I got it! I didn't fully rescue one character, but the badge was for rescuing everyone else in there, and I did do that. Getting the badge was the main thing for me. Next, Kitten wanted to watch a holiday episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'm afraid I did some in-game auction house and storage first, but after that, we watched it together. Then we talked some more while I did more in-game auction house, storage and crafting before I began making notes in this. I took a break to play Cross Stitch World, and also did some more auction house, storage and crafting in City of Heroes: Homecoming. I researched something in My Little Pony that Kitten mentioned, as well, before I finished making notes in this. I finished my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
