Daily Update, January 12, 2026

The night before Monday I got an idea for my story. However, I was sleepy enough, I didn't want to get up and go to another room to find what I'd need to write it down. Still, thinking about it kept me up until I convinced myself I'd remember int he morning. Then I finally fell back asleep. Then in the morning I jotted the idea down in a small notebook, and put that in my purse, so I'll have it if I got an idea while out. I'm just going to leave it there for that. {Smile}

After breakfast, my substitute relief nurse took me to Auntie Sally's Lulau Hale for my First Timer's Line Dancing class. I apologized to our new instructor and his wife for missing last time, explaining that I was sick. My instructor said few came because of the heavy rain anyway. I did pay for this session of the class, too. I enjoyed dancing in the class. After class my substitute relief nurse came and got me. I snacked in the car on the way to Walmart, where we picked up several things she needed, and a notebook for me. I put the by my bed when I got home, along with a couple of pencils so I can jot down ideas that come in the night without having to leave my room So help me, I feel like I'm starting to do things like a "real author," if that makes sense. After Walmart, we went to the ice cream parlor, and I got a chocolate fudge popsicle. My nurse ran another errand on the way home. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer, where I watched videos and read articles on the web. Then I wrote my notes from earlier into my story, and added a little more, though not much. Then I did some research for my story. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also spotted that pair of high-level taskforces, and joined on my eighth best badge collector, who's still looking for a few badges from it. While waiting for it to start, I talked with Kitten and Dennis. Kitten joined the taskforces, but not Dennis. I didn't get the missing badges this time, either. I squeezed in reading a comic on the web, then realized that Kitten wanted to redo the taskforces. They were sure that at easy settings the badges would be really simple. No, they weren't. I didn't get them that time, either, though we did the bare minimum. This ran me right up to dinner time, so I took a break for that. {Smile}

After dinner I wrote up Sunday's daily update and read more comics on the web during breaks. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dennis and Kitten. Dennis and I talked, but Dennis was too tired to team. So, he and I said goodnight and he left. I also talked with Kitten. I asked about a character that they're fixing up. I checked my stores, and gave them some supplies I have on hand, but don't currently need for a character. They left, tired, but thankful. I checked some things they'd mentioned for getting badges and tried some other stuff. then I made notes in this, with comics on the web, Cross Stitch World, and in-game auction house and storage on City of Heroes: Homecoming during breaks. When I finished making notes in this, I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming again before I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. {Smile}
