Daily Update, February 18, 2025

On Tuesday, I got up feeling reasonably human again, though distinctly less ambitious than usual. I called the monthly meeting to let them know that I was recently sick, and that my relief nurse was still sick, so we weren't coming. {Smile}

I didn't feel quite up to any exercise. I figured a day off when getting better wasn't a bad idea. {Smile}

I started the day with my first blood test since I got sick and was happy to get it right in my target range. Then, after breakfast, I read lots of web articles and a few webcomics until lunch, with maybe a little Cross Stitch World over lunch. After that, I wrote up Saturday's and Sunday's daily updates before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, then checked on the teen heroes' supergroup meeting. It wasn't for a while yet. I said hi to Pierogies, and joined him for the middle long, large-group event. Then I did a bit of badge hunting with him until the teen supergroup meeting. We started with some light roleplaying, visiting both in character and out of character. then we did a mission in character, followed by more visiting both in and out of character. They were just getting ready to do a second mission when I got called to dinner. I left with apologies before the mission began. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Monday's daily update and started making notes in this before I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got the character I'd been on earlier, talked to the contact I was afraid I'd outlevelled. I got the hunt he gives even folks who are too high level. When starting it, I learned the teen supergroup meeting was still on. I finished the hunt and got the start of the contact's story arc. Somehow, I hadn't outlevelled him after all! I went to meeting next, where we visited both in character and out of character until the others all left for bed. I'm afraid the last to leave and I got stuck with me trying to explain something they just weren't understanding, but hopefully we can sort it out sometime. I suspect I was failing to understand something too, and that was preventing better communication. Afterwards, I did some paperwork, including some on another low-level character. Then I talked with Nox on the chat server, really getting into things for once. It was so great to really talk with them after barely saying anything while I was sick. I was just too tired and sleeping too much during the worst of it. I think they enjoyed it, too, since we were at it quite a while. Eventually they left. Then I tried a comic one gal recommended. I really like it! Then I finished my notes in this and went to bed earlier than usual. {Smile}
