Daily Update, February 8, 2026

 The night before Sunday, I got to bed right about on time... for any other day of the week. However, Sundays run early because church starts at ten, so it's still later than I'd like to, especially on a Sunday. I wouldn't mind waking up a little earlier every day. It would be nice to be able to arrive comfortably to something that starts at ten any day of the week. {Smile}

When I got up, my main nurse asked me to check to see if church was cancelled, because there was a flood advisory on. I did, and on the second try, found that the livestream had started. That was confirmation enough. My main nurse took me down to church. 

We arrived during the announcements. I sat with Auntie Barbara and enjoyed a nice service. Afterwards, there was lunch on the lanai, but I took my food into the room where the Daughters of the King were holding their monthly meeting. I attended the monthly meeting. Then Katie, who helped me through the Discernment process to become a Daughter of the King, took me and the other Anne home. I enjoyed talking with them on the ride. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I watched videos and read the occasional article and a couple of web comics until I finished writing up Saturday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my characters. Next, I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Pierogies, Ulty, and Jenny's Player. I talked briefly with Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked and got together with Pierogies. We did a couple of my missions. After that, Pierogies and I said goodnight, and Pierogies left for bed. I worked on auction house, storage, and crafting. Then I began writing up this daily update, stopping when my main nurse called me to supper. {Smile}

After supper, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I wrote more of this. Next, I answered Dennis and Nox on Discord, the chat server. then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Dr Faustus, Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked briefly with Ulty and Jenny's player. I talked slightly more with Dr. Faustus, and we teamed up.  They helped me finish the story arc I had continued with Dennis the night before, which is set in the post-apocalyptic area.  Then we did the entire next story arc in an unusually long series of story arcs. Next, we started the sequel after that.  However, we only got two missions of this latest story arc done before Dr Faustus said goodnight and left. It was a little early for them, but we had been at it for a few hours.  I started to set up the next mission when the lights went out.  They flickered a few times, then settled into just being off.  I tried to continue to play with the help of my battery backup, but I discovered that I was disconnected from the internet, so I turned off my computer.  I took a break, then tried my phone.  It seemed disconnected from the internet at first but found it shortly.  I made notes in this on phone.  I'm so glad I charged it fully around dinner time, when I discovered that it was almost dead. I had plenty of charge during the power failure. I used it right through the power failure without worrying, and it's not even that far down the next day. With the notes done, I played a bit of Cross Stitch World. Then I started writing in this, converting notes into proper writing. It's slower without a full keyboard, but I managed. I wasn't quite done when the power came back. With the power back, I turned my computer back on. I browsed Facebook and found a video announcement from the governor about the storm that must have caused the power failure. He even closed the University of Hawai'i campuses, which may be a first in my lifetime. They don't normally close for bad weather. It made me wonder about my class the next day. I really must look into that before going out. Then I finished making notes in this. I finished my evening with reading Forward Day by Day and saying the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
