Daily Update, June 17, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got into bed just before 1:45 am. So, I made my second goal as well as my first. I set my clock to 8:45 am because of this. I tried to set back to 9 am at suggestion of my main nurse when I got up briefly, but I changed the wrong alarm and felt too awake by the time I realized the error. I'm pretty happy about this. {Smile}

A while after lunch, my main nurse took me to the Hilo branch of the Hawai'i Public Library System. I picked out one collection of short stories and five manga, one from a favorite series, one that caught my eye, and three from a series I've been thinking about. I checked them out and read much of the manga that caught my eye while waiting for my main nurse to pick me up. He came and took me home, and I read more of that manga on my way home. I finished it after I got home. I know manga are quick reading, being comic books, so words are just scattered into pictures, but they're not that much thinner than regular books, so it still feels like a lot of reading. {Smile}

During breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I got onto my computer. I read comics and watched videos into lunch. I switched to checking out Bibles on Amazon during lunch. Then I began writing up Tuesday's daily update. Next came the trip to the Hilo branch of Hawai'i Public Library. When I got back home, I went back onto my computer. I browsed Bibles and finished reading the manga that I'd started earlier. After that, I wrote up more of Tuesday's daily update. I took a break to buy a Bible I was considering, in hopes that would get my mind off it, which worked. I went back and finished writing Wednesday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I checked the in-game auction house on Bellae Magnolias. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I did a mission on Yenna Grajewo, my tribute to a friend, then stopped for dinner. I ate it with my main nurse, the news on TV, and _Brigands and Breadknives_ by Travis Baldree. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I found some things from Nox on Discord, the chat server, and answered them. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and found Dennis working on a badge. I discovered that all my characters who could do it the way he and a fellow were had the badge already, so I picked Valentina Matos, a character new to the endgame who I'm still developing and joined him and the fellow he was working with while they got it on a couple of characters each. Next, we said goodnight. I upgraded Valentina Matos a little, and worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on her, Eirlys Lloyds, my higher-level teen supergroup member (yes, that's her full name), and Yenna Grajewo. After that, I researched for a story I've been thinking about, setting up two new files for findings, and adding to a file I already have started. After that, I shut down windows and programs so they wouldn't distract me. I hastily made notes in this, not trying to write any of it properly because that slows me down. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
