Daily Update, January 22, 2026

Thursday after breakfast, I had my video counselling. It went well. We talked a lot about my future, helping me plan it out better, or at least begin to. {Smile}

After my counselling, my main nurse took me down to Island Naturals, where I met up with Auntie Barbara. Auntie Barbara and I picked out lunch, which was Auntie Barbara's treat, including a piece of chocolate cake, all in honor of my birthday, which is this coming Sunday. Then we went to Wailoa Park for a picnic lunch. All the pavilions with picnic tables in them were full, so we started to walk around, looking. A pavilion near us soon emptied. I claimed it while Auntie Barbara got our food from the car. We had a nice lunch, and shared the cake, eating about equal pieces, and leaving a part in the middle that I took home for later. My main nurse met us and took me home afterwards. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos as I settled in. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I got together with Dennis, and Kitten joined us. Dennis was collecting badges, so I got a character working on the same badges. We stopped right before my dinner. {smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Dennis and Kitten were still doing badges, but this time Dennis chose badges my 8th best badge collector needed. She got several with him, until he tired, and wanted to switch. Next, he let me pick, so I asked for a badge mission my second-best badge collector needed. He picked one that got her two badges and progress on a third. I updated her record. then I tried to work on another badge but was moving very slowly until Dr. Faustus said hi. They offered to help when I told them what I was working on. They knew all the tricks to make it easy to get another pair of badges. Then I helped Dr. Faustus with a couple of missions before saying goodnight. I updated my second-est badge collector's badge record again. Then I peeked at Cross Stitch World. Next, I made notes in this. I took breaks to read one short comic on the web, and to do some in-game auction house, storage, and crafting in City of Heroes: Homecoming. I finished my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
