Daily Update, January 28, 2026

On Wednesday just before lunch, I had a nap, despite getting to bed at a more normal time for me. I guess I really haven't gotten enough sleep the past few days. I certainly felt more like myself after that nap. {Smile}

Then after dinner, my main nurse took me to the Church of the Holy Cross for Ballroom Dance: Rhumba followed by Swing Dance: Shuffle. They both went well. There were many more students at Rhumba than at Shuffle, which is later, faster, and possibly less common. We mainly did 4-count Shuffle, though the teacher gave us a choice at one point. During the break between classes, I got a ticket to a dance they're having from a gal I'm getting to know. My main nurse took me home afterwards. {Smile}

After breakfast, I read articles and watched videos on the web until I realized I really needed a nap and took one. It certainly helped me concentrate better for the rest of the day. After my nap, I read articles and comics and watched videos all on the net. This continued over and after lunch, and well into my afternoon. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and talked with Jenny's player while getting badges on my teen SG member until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I had class. When I got back from class, I read articles and watched videos on the web. Next, I read comics on the web. I meant to get back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, but I barely checked on my friends who play the game before leaving to check more comics on the web. Before I got back again, I started talking with Ulty on Discord. We were mainly concerned with what she wants for the group, versus the kinds of characters I tend to come up with. No, they are not a good match. I'm not entirely sure where this is going. I feel I really should respect her wishes better, but we had to stop before we got to how to proceed, because it got late. After that, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Then I made notes in this, both with breaks for comics, articles, and videos on the web. Then I finished my evening by saying the Lord's Prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Daily Update, January 27, 2026

 I got to bed late again, but this time I made sure to nap after breakfast. It was barely over half an hour, which is half as long as usual, but it helped. 

After the nap, my substitute relief nurse took me to my creative writing class. It was a nice lecture. My teacher told me she'd gotten the link I sent to the current version. the group where we shared our writing enjoyed the next scene. I'm still not getting many suggestions. I hope this is because it's good, not that they're missing stuff I could improve. After class, substitute relief nurse picked me up and ran a few errands. Most notable was a stop at Safeway to pick up my meds and a few things for home. Then we went home. {Smile}

When we got home, my housekeeper was already there. The house is getting cleaner, and so is the room I'm hoping to get cleared out soon. {Smile}

I got onto my computer. I had a popsicle I didn't eat yesterday as I got onto City of Heroes: Homecoming right away. I checked on my friends who lay the game, then checked the in-game auction house and storage. Next, I went to the teen supergroup meeting on the higher-level current member. We roleplayed. Then, when all five who were coming (including me) had arrived and talked, we ran a taskforce. We roleplayed during the taskforce, and went slowly enough, it both went late and pushed dinner late. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to the meeting. Half the others had left, and the two left were slowing down, but I stayed for a fair while, telling Dennis and Kitten that I wasn't free yet. When it finally broke up, I tried to team up with Kitten, but they were too tired. Kitten suggested teaming with Dennis, but Dennis left, too. It was certainly late enough for them both. I played by myself until Dr. Faustus came in. We teamed up to do a couple of my missions. Then they had to leave for a while. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage, crafting. Then I wrote up Monday's daily update, rushing to finish when Dr. Faustus came back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I joined them in a mission of theirs. Then we did a mission of mine before we said goodnight. Next, I did some of the in-game auction house and storage. After that I made notes in this, taking breaks for a reading couple of comics and watching a video on the web. When I finished, I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day to finish my day. {Smile}
