Daily Update, November 1, 2025

On Saturday, I stayed home and took it easy. I meant to go out for a walk and such with my main nurse, but my ear was beginning to hurt again. After lunch, I was preparing to take pain medicine when my main nurse came to ask about going out. When he learned about the earache, he suggested I stay home, which I accepted with relief because I wasn't sure my ear would accept going down the hill and back. That can be uncomfortable, even painful, with enough swelling. {small smile}

After breakfast, I took a nap. Then I read web articles right into lunch. Shortly after lunch, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming early. I found Div, but he was getting ready to leave early due to feeling under the weather himself. He soon left, and I checked on my other friends who play the game. Then I worked on in-game auction house, storage and crafting. I began to treat my earache. I also began to team up with Kitten and Pierogies, who chose a Halloween trial. While that was getting started, I got drawn into the discussion with my main nurse. After the discussion, Pierogies, Kitten, and I did the Halloween trial twice because we missed 1-2 badges the first time. Next, Pierogies left, and Kitten picked working to get the last tough opponent for a badge that was itself the last needed for another badge that improves the character who gets it. I started a contact who is particularly good at giving chances to get them. Her story arc started a couple of missions in. We did the first few missions of it before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked out City of Heroes: Homecoming. Kitten was still there eager to team, having finally started to improve her character. We did several more missions in the same story arc with the same contact, with first Dragons, then Dr. Faustus joining us. We finally got the tough opponent Kitten needed just two missions before the end of the story arc, which is not a short one. Then we finished the story arc, since we were so close. Then we got a Halloween-themed giant monster with others who joined us. Next at the urging of a couple of the others, we started a trick-or-treat team that grew to a league. My friends left one by one, as did enough others, the league shrank back to a team. I levelled twice and made more notes in this around trick-or-treating with them. then I left that trick-or-treat team and did some in-game auction house, storage and crafting, as well as doing the rest of my notes in this. I finished the evening with the Lord's Prayer. I ended up reading Forward Day by Day on my phone. I didn't have the new booklet for the next three months yet, and the website wasn't working on my computer, but my phone worked. {Smile}
