Daily Update, April 19, 2026

The night before Sunday, I found myself at a good stopping place unusually early in City of Heroes: Homecoming. So, I stopped to write my daily update. I got seriously distracted by comics but realized that treating overheating and blood sugar really helped. I still managed to get more written before switching to making notes, and then I got off early enough to get to bed barely after 1:30 am. That was great, since I got up at 8:30 because church started at 9 am. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. We arrived just before the sermon, so I heard all of it this time. It was morning prayer, so we didn't have communion. Still, it was a nice service. After the service, I ran into my cousin Babs, and her hanai (adopted) granddaughter. They had a good spread for lunch on the lanai, since we had one service instead of two. We sat together, my main nurse. Two other new folks sat with us, too, and we found we had a lot in common. I think we might often sit together. When lunch was done, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

After we got back, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos and read comics. I also finished writing up Saturday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Pierogies, but he didn't respond. I finished the auction house, storage and crafting left over from the night before on the ranged version of Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member. Then I left to clean myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I got the melee-ranged Olga and did two or three missions in a story arc by myself. By then I was thoroughly bored with playing by myself. It can get pretty monotonous without friends or fellow players to liven things up. I checked my friends who play the game again and found that Seb had come on. I looked for him and had to ask where he was a couple of times before I found him. My Olga joined his Marius, and he introduced me to three friends he was with. I'd met at least one before, but not often. I roleplayed with them until dinner, excusing myself in-character as well as out of character to go find dinner. During dinner, I read Forward Day by Day and browsed another book I found. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Then I checked where I'd left Seb's Marius. I found him in the same place, with only the friend I'm certain I met before. I roleplayed with them until first the friend then Seb left. Then I went back to soloing missions. While doing that, I talked with Dennis, who said he'd be back after a walk. I finished the story arc, then realized I'd missed a message from Dennis, who'd already left for the evening. It was old when I found it. So was an invitation to a strike force from Divi, though not as old. Divi had started without me. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Divi invited me to fight a giant monster. We fought a second giant monster at my request before the team broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting. After that, I began working on some badges on Olga. I also wrote much of this, with breaks mainly to work on the badges until I until I got my goal badge for now. Then I checked the in-game auction house on a few characters. I also took a break for Cross Stitch World. I switched to notes before the end the update. I ended my evening with the Lord's prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
