Daily Update, July 12, 2025

On Saturday before lunch, I discovered I had let one of my library books get a little overdue (it was only a few days late). So, after lunch my main nurse took me to the public library, where I returned all the books I was done with and paid the little fine that had accrued. Then I picked out new books and checked them out. After that, I walked three quarters of the way around the courtyard in the middle of the library. At that point I realized it was blocked off to make a staging area for a Hawaiian music concert which was still getting ready to start. I walked back around, and started to stand near the back, but a man brought me a chair from a nearby table. So, I sat and started to watch the concert. {Smile}

First, we had a piece each from notable distracts and locations around the Big Island, going clockwise, starting at Hilo, where I live. I saw my nurse come, but he clearly didn't see me, so I went to fetch him. He came and watched the concert for a while, but he's fond of rock music, not Hawaiian music, so he left near the end of the tour. I stayed until they finished the tour. Then they got into a story about the next piece that turned out to be long. I went and got my nurse, and he took me to the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens. They were getting ready to close because it was rainy enough, they had few customers, since most are people who walk around the park, and that's mainly in better weather. (This is why I didn't walk around the gardens, myself. I'm also glad I didn't stay for the rest of the concert; they would have closed before I could get a popsicle.) I picked chocolate peanut butter, since they were out of chocolate fudge again. Then my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Walking around the library a bit and some mini-Kegel exercises were all the exercise I did, but with the dance class yesterday, I hope it won't be a problem. {Smile}

After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World. I also browsed the web and read web comics. Then before lunch, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. After that, I browsed the web some more. I read web comics and played Cross Stitch World over lunch. Then I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming, but only for paperwork before the trip out. When I got back from going out, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork and soon began to talk with Ulty and Jenny's Player. I also played by myself on the teen supergroup member, going after the Asian gang that loves tattoos, a mafioso family, and that gang that claims to use ancient fighting techniques. After that, I broke to start writing up Friday's daily update and got around halfway done by dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing Friday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then I began playing by myself on the teen supergroup member's older sister. Then I switched to a character Kitten designed for me. Both these characters are mid-level. Then I switched to a moderately high-level character, but I didn't get far before Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up with me on my moderately low-level villain supergroup member. We finished the story arc we'd been working on. Dennis joined us partway through. Both Dennis and I gained a level each - one he wanted, but one I wasn't ready for yet. I quickly prevented that from happening again before I want it, since the next time would be more problematic than this one. I found I'd missed Nox on the chat server but said goodnight to be found in the morning. Dr. Faustus, Dennis and I finished a story arc about competing with other villains that Dennis had. It led into one I'd barely started, so he caught up. Then we did that one too, with Dennis and I both getting full credit. After that, Dennis and Dr. Faustus both left. I did a little paperwork. Then Dragons and their friends invited me to a mid-level mission. After that, we did two quite high-level missions that finished a story arc with a particularly nice reward, although it ran a little late for Sunday, especially when I still had to make notes for today's story arc, but I did that next, with only a brief break for Cross Stitch World, and still got to bed in time to be awake in church the next morning. {Smile}
