On Saturday, before lunch, my main nurse surprised me, asking if I'd like to go to a concert downtown at lunch time. I quickly got ready to go, and we went down. The county band was playing, with several high school students playing with them. Most from Hilo High School, including one of my main nurse's daughters. I thought they did very well, particularly for a group that's over half volunteer. Only some of the better seats get paid. It was their Christmas concert, and very well done I thought. {Smile}
They ended by saying they'd have another group play in maybe fifteen minutes, after the full band cleared out. My main nurse asked if I wanted to leave, but his daughter wanted to stay. I think his other daughter was playing; I know one of them was. So, I said I'd stay. I'd spotted a fellow who has been in my Creative Writing class, so I said hi during the break, and talked. We both plan to continue next semester. {Smile}
The next concert was Tuba Christmas, with the bass brass -- tubas, baritones, and trombones -- and a few percussion instruments. Again, they had several high school students, mostly from Hilo High, including one of my main nurse's daughters, helping the members of the county band. After that, my main nurse said we could go home, and no, don't worry about taking the kids. I asked him to take me to the public library, since I had a few library books to return, and I thought they were overdue.
While he was dropping me off, one of his daughters called. NOW they needed a ride home. I told him to go, and he promised to be back quickly. I turned in my books and paid off the fine they'd accumulated. Then I'd barely started to browse when my nurse drove up and called me out to the car. I sat in the front because the back was full of kids. Their daughters had talked him into giving a couple of their friends a ride, too. It was a very full back seat. We dropped one gal off at her house. Then we dropped the other three at my nurse's house. The boy started walking home, since he lives close by. After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}
After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I read articles and comics and watched videos on the web. I also played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up a fair bit of Friday's daily update before stopping to go to the concerts. When we got back, I went onto my computer. I said hi on Discord to a few friends. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on my friends who play the game. Not spotting anyone to team with, I got a low-level character out to play. I did one mission on her by myself. Pierogies said hi while I was in it. He got a similarly low-level character, and we joined up to do the next mission together. After that, we talked a while before he left, admitting he was tired. I did another couple of mission, since my character was low enough, all her missions are quite short. Then Dennis said hi, and Kitten said hi as well. Kitten and I teamed up, and Dennis joined us. I switched to a fairly high-level character like Dennis was on. Kitten went quiet and faded out, but Dennis and I hunted a couple of winter giant monsters before I had to go to dinner. {Smile}
After dinner, I read articles on the web and finished writing up Friday's daily update. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends. I joined a winter giant monster team that only partially broke up. Some of us stayed together long enough to get several giant monsters. Eventually, they did break up, but many of us got right back together to get a couple of regular giant monsters. I switched to my best badge collector between the winter monsters and the regular ones. I joined in fighting them and got the rewards which helped me get a badge. Next, Kitten mewed, so I joined them. They were doing some extra tough individual missions in the toughest zone. The second one got too frustrating, so we switched to a mission of mine, though I had to restart it a couple of times to reduce the difficulty; it was high from teaming with a larger group. I calmed down by doing a bit of the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting. Then I made notes in this before ending my evening with saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
