Daily Update, July 5, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first goal, but because it's Sunday, and church starts nominally at 10 am, and rarely much later, I got up at 8:45, so I didn't get as much sleep as I'd like. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church and dropped me off. He ran an errand, then came later. I got there during the announcements, which is kind of acceptably late, and sat with Auntie Barbara. We had Morning Prayer, with our deacon doing the sermon, and no Holy Communion, which we usually do on Sundays if we don't have a priest. It was a nice service. I sat with Auntie Barbara during lunch, though we both talked more with others at our table. We talked a bit as folks were cleaning up. Then my main nurse took me back home. I played Cross Stitch World both on the way to church, and on the way home. {Smile}

After church, I got onto my computer and read a few articles and comics. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update, occasionally checking Discord, the chat server. I found an announcement from Mysty announcing a supergroup meeting where we'd do an adventure she'd planned for Oleva's villain supergroup - the new one. I finished Saturday's daily update, and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, since it was too late to squeeze in a bath and still make the meeting. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting I hadn't done the night before on Ana and checked the auction house on several characters. Next, I switched to Oleva, went to the meeting while checking on my friends who play the game again. We roleplayed a little, and started Mysty's adventure, which was mostly roleplaying, with one player-made mission that went right over dinner, so I ate at my computer. The group was so large, we split into two teams for the mission, and the other team finished enough before us, they did a second mission, which we learned was meant to be done later. {Smile}

After that, we broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, and crafting Oleva's play had produced. Then I broke to clean myself up with the help of my main nurse, despite it really being too late. In the future, I need to figure out a way to fit the bath in sooner. Next, I went back to my computer and into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Dr. Faustus and Kitten. I also let Kitten and our mutual friends know I was back in the game through Discord. Dr. Faustus and I talked and teamed up with me on Peony, and them on a different mid-level character she sometimes teams with than the one she did last time. We started to roleplay and do missions. Kitten joined us, which meant less roleplaying, and more out-of-character talking and focusing on missions.  All three of use enjoy doing missions together. Dr. Fautus and I did a little roleplaying on the side by ourselves. Eventually, we said goodnight to Kitten so Dr. Fautus and I could concentrate on roleplaying for a bit. Peony and Dr. Faustus's character had an interesting if not entirely clear conversation, but adolescents were discussing romance, so I thought the confusion was appropriate. I certainly didn't understand a lot about romance when I was adolescent. I still don't, though I understand more, I hope. I don't remember signs that the other adolescents understood it much better, either. After that, I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Peony. Then I wrote in this, pausing to check Cross Stitch World and play a little of it. After writing more in this, I made notes to write from later. Next, I answered Nox on Discord. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
