Daily Update, June 27, 2026

The night before Saturday, I got to bed barely before 2am. I do think it was before 2 am, if not by much, so that should count as meeting my first goal. {Smile}

A while after lunch, my main nurse and I went out. Our first stop was at the ice cream parlor in Liliu'okalani Gardens, where I got a chocolate fudge popsicle. i ate that on the way to Prince Kuhio Plaza, where we walked all around the shopping center. it was slow going at times, because they had a special event with extra vendors at tables in the aisles. I think it was largely collectible=themed, though I also spotted some specially cooked dishes. After that, my main nurse and I went back home. I read the manga, _The Last Elf 1_, and started _the last Elf 2 on the way down and the way back. {Smile}

Over breakfast I read Forward Day by Day, and _The Last Elf 1_. I'd started it at dinner the night before but forgot that when I wrote up Friday's daily update. Then I settled onto my computer. I read articles and wrote up Friday's daily update right lunch. Then I switched to reading comics, relieved to find something easier to do while eating. I picked out a new comic and started reading it, which kept me reading until we went out a bit later than we meant to. We still got a popsicle in a favorite flavor, but they were lacking in selection compared to usual. After I got back, I went back onto my computer, and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house on Ana, my third-best badge collector. I also checked on my friends who play the game. I saw the later long, large group event being advertised. I checked with Dr Faustus, who was just leaving, and Veronice, who was busy. So, I joined the later long, large-group event on Valentina, my newest endgame character, though she isn't quite new to it anymore. I ran the event. Next, I worked on the auction house, storage and crafting that produce. After that, I prepared to work on badges on Ana and stumbled across one. I had to fiddle around before her badge record updated properly, but I did, then updated my record of her badges to reflect the change properly.  Then I broke to eat dinner with my main nurse. I read more _The Last Elf 2_ while eating. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked Discord and answered Nox there. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I prepared to work on badges on Ana when a distant friend invited me to a taskforce. I joined it on Ana, since I was already on her. My friend asked for a volunteer to run it because she was minimum level for the taskforce, and we'd be stuck at her level if she led. I volunteered, since Ana is plenty high enough to get max level for that task force. While we ran it, I chatted with Jenny's Player in the game, and Nox on Discord part of the time, while still trying to keep up. After the taskforce, the group broke up. I worked on Ana's in-game auction house, storage and crafting. Just as I was winding down, Rav said hi. They wanted to test a character. At first, it was too low to be challenging. When I raised the difficulty, I raised it too much, but we managed to finish the mission. Rav said they'd switch characters but didn't come back. About the time I started wondering what to do next, Dr. Faustus said hi, and suggested we team with me on Oleva and them on one of her new supergroup mates. I switched to Oleva, and we started talking in-character so our characters could get to know each other. We also talked out-of-character, because we usually do. We a few missions, a couple of theirs and a few of mine. Then we said goodnight. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting, first on Oleva, then on Ana. Next, I checked Cross Stitch World and a played it a little. I came back to my computer and shut down several windows. That really helps me focus when I'm writing in this late at night. After that, I wrote in this. I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming at one point. Eventually, I switched to making notes in this. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
