Daily Update, February 26, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a little before 2:30. I drowsed in the car when we went out, pretty much on all legs of the trip, but that seemed to do the trick pretty well. No deeper nap was needed. {Smile}

During breakfast, I started my online video counselling session. We discussed yesterday's conference call, and possibilities for my future. It's productive, though somewhat scary. I'm not sure how that much change could not be scary. {smile}

My main nurse took me out a while after lunch. I drowsed, due to less sleep the night before. Our first stop was the state retirement office. I asked them to check Mom's record again, on two points this time. They confirmed that she did indeed not select the survivor benefits, and that she did get the higher payments that should come with that choice. I guess that's settled, if not int he way she said. Next, my main nurse and I tried to stop at Target, only to learn they were closed because they had no power. After that, we went to another store so my main nurse could pop in quickly. Then we went back home. {Smile}

After counselling, I read articles and comics, and watched videos, continuing right through lunch. Then I wrote up Wednesday's daily update before my main nurse took me out. After we came back, I began writing this up but quickly stopped to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I finished the story arc I was soloing on the new version of my lower-level villain supergroup member. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I said hi to Kitten and wrote a little more of this. Next, Kitten responded in City of Heroes: Homecoming. We teamed up and did two individual missions, with me still on the new version of my lower-level villain supergroup member. After that, I had dinner while reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, my main nurse helped me clean myself up. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and said hi to Dr. Faustus. They helped me do one more individual mission on the new version of my lower-level villain supergroup member. Then we did a special mission to unlock a contact for that character of mine. Next, we did three more individual missions and another special mission to unlock another contact for the same character. After that, we chose one of my new contacts and did much of their story arc before we said goodnight. Then I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on two characters. Next, I made notes in this. I ended the evening with the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}
