Daily Update, November 18, 2025

Tuesday was busy. After breakfast, the secretary of the nursing company took me down to Mohouli Park for the monthly picnic/meeting Aloha Independent Living hosts for handicapped/disabled individuals. I assured her she could join us, but she just sat to one side and watched. I enjoyed the food, and the company, especially talking with Shannon, who I sat next to. {Smile}

When it got close to the time my writing class starts, I left, and the nursing company secretary took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing Class. It looked like it was just getting going when I got there. We had a good session, with a nice talk by our instructor, and a good time for sharing our work with other students. Our group had three, one of whom was a guest who didn't bring anything. I read a short piece I'd written twice, in between two pieces a fellow brought. I also tried out a new, collapsible water bottle that I can carry in my purse and fill to drink from if I forget my usual water bottle, which I had. It worked pretty well. After class, the nursing company secretary took me back home. {Smile}

At home I settled onto my computer. I read just a few articles on the web before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Pierogies sad hi, and we talked before and at the beginning of the teen SG meeting. I went to the teen supergroup meeting, arriving about on time. It started with some nice roleplaying. One gal left before we moved on to playing the game. The rest of us did the last mission of the story arc of mine we did last week. Then we did another, distantly related story arc of mine from beginning to end, running right through dinner, which I had at my computer. Afterwards, we roleplayed winding down in our base. Eventually the meeting broke up. {Smile}

After the meeting, I wrote up Monday's daily update. As I was finishing up, Kitten said hi. They joined a strike force which I joined too, and we ran it together. Then we and much of the team hunted a giant monster. I knew my second-best badge collector needed that particular monster, so I switched to her and got two badges when I got the critter. Next, Kitten found a trial to join and start while I was updating my badge records. While I was waiting for Kitten, Phonso invited me to a taskforce. I joined, and tried to get Kitten to join, but it filled too fast, and they'd done it earlier. I ran the taskforce with Phonso. Kitten faded out after a while, like they'd fallen asleep. The taskforce found a giant monster, so when we were done, most went to hunt it. Of that group, I actually found it, and we got it. Then I joined Phonso in a strike force. Dr. Faustus said hi while I was joining, and I got them to join the strike force. Rav joined on their own. We ran it together. When it was done, the group broke up, and Phonso left. I joined Dr. Faustus to finish the story arc we'd started the other night. Kitten joined us partway through, and another player Kitten knows better than I do joined a little later. After the story arc, I left and made notes in this. I took a break to play Cross Stitch World, and another break to read part of a n article on the web. When I finished, I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
