Daily Update, February 7, 2026

The night before Saturday, I actually got to be almost as early as my main nurse claims he'd like me to. Maybe the changes will work, especially since I thought of more changes to my routine that might streamline things. I can hope the changes work, but I actually feel that that might be more likely to than others I've tried recently: writing parts of my daily update earlier in the day. I'm hoping that will take less time in the long run than jotting down notes, then writing them up properly later. {Smile}

Late in the afternoon, my main nurse took me to a valentine's Party sponsored by the group that also sponsors my Wednesday night ballroom dance classes. When we got there, my main nurse helped me check in. I sat near a couple from my Friday class and talked with the gal. The guy didn't say much. They had a few dances before dinner, but dinner happened soon and mostly stopped the dancing. I danced a few numbers before dinner, and a few after. Then they had a raffle, which I missed much of because of needing the little room. Next, a couple sang a song I know well from Fiddler on the Roof. After that, we got back to dancing. I danced with several people, both men and women. Since there were more women and men, as usual, some women dance together, at least part of the time. I don't think I danced with the same person twice. I talked with folks a few times, too. I moved to sit at a different table after a few left, including the couple I sat with and my Friday teacher. I sat where my teacher had been to chat with friends at that table. I stayed through the last dance. My main nurse came in towards the end and took me home afterwards. He was greatly impressed with our stamina, since many stayed all the way from 5:30 to 9, even though it was an older crowd. {Smile}

After breakfast, I read articles, watched videos, and caught up on reading comics I realized I'd forgotten. Then I wrote up Friday's daily update, finishing just before lunch. Then I began writing this up as I began lunch. When I finished this, I shifted to chatting with Nox on Discord, the chat server, for the rest of lunch. Next, I watched videos on the web and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming to check the in-game auction house. After that, I went back to more videos. Then I wrote a little more of this and went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and spotted Pierogies and began to talk. He was waiting for the early long, large-group event. I joined it, and we ran it together. Then I sorted some of my storage while I talked with Pierogies. I'd just begun on the in-game auction house when Pierogies suggested doing a Valentine's-themed mission that is available for a little time. I found out more of my characters got it than I realized, but I finally found one who did have it. We ran one together, and I made progress on a badge that isn't done all at once. Next, Pierogies left. My main nurse reminded me to get ready for the party, so I quickly checked my friends who play the game, then broke to get ready. After that, I came back and wrote up more of this daily update. Then I did some in-game auction house, storage, and crafting on City of Heroes: Homecoming until my main nurse said it was time to go. 

When I got home from the dance, I got back onto my computer. I watched videos and read articles for a while as I settled in. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my characters, and then on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, and we joined a strike force. I almost didn't get in, but Doc saved me a place. We ran it. Then Dennis joined us, and we did a mission Doc had. Next, Doc left. Dennis and I ran one more mission I had. Then I ran a few talks while Dennis collected badges, because the talks followed directly on the mission in a story arc I had. After that, we said goodnight, I worked on in-game storage, then started making notes in this. I paused to work on the in-game auction house and storage in City of Heroes: Homecoming before I finished notes in this. Then I read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer to finish my evening. {Smile}
