Daily Update,

Thursday was Christmas Day, so Merry Christmas if you celebrated it. If not, I hope you had a nice day. {Smile}

Early in the afternoon, I texted two cousins, Kim and Nancy, one on each side of my family, and the two cousins I have the most contact information for. Nancy is still visiting an area with poor cellphone reception for her. Somehow, I neglected to get back for a phone call with Kim, but I hope to soon. {Smile}

After breakfast, I opened the few presents I had. Then I got onto my computer. I read comics on the web right through lunch. Then I texted my cousins. Next, 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 hi. We got together for a couple of missions with me on a low-level character before Kitten went quiet and faded out. I did a few more missions on the same character by myself. The character is so low, the missions are quite short -- short enough I don't get bored and frustrated before they're over. Next, I set my best badge collector to working on one of a series of badges that can be worked on passively while I wrote up my daily update and read comics until it was time for dinner with my main nurse. It was a somewhat festive Christmas dinner, despite it just being us. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my character in City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, and we did a few high-level missions on my second-best badge collector. That got interrupted when a friend invited us to a Halloween-themed mission they'd saved. We ran it and stayed with a friend of theirs for two or three missions before Kitten and I left. We resumed the high-level missions until I realized my second-best badge collector had gained three badges. Then I got my best badge collector, and Kitten joined me, and we set both of ours to working on the passive badges while we watched a My Little Pony Christmas episode. Next, we moved the characters to a location that worked better for that passive badge and left them there while we watched two more My Little Pony episodes. After that, I made most of my notes in this while our characters still passively worked on the badges. Then I got Kitten's attention and read a web comic while waiting for them to respond. We stopped working on the badge so I could update my badge records for my top two badge collectors. Next, I said goodnight to Kitten and read one more comic on the web. After that, I finished making notes in this. I finished my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
