Daily Update, March 22, 2026

The night before Sunday, I got to bed around 2:15. It's no worse than most other recent nights... except that for church, I get up closer to 8:45 am than 9:00 am. I dont' think I had too much trouble with tiredness later in the day. {Smile}

Getting up earlier did help my main nurse get me to church at the beginning of the announcements. He was later because he went back for his daughter, who'd called just after we'd passed his house. It was a nice service, with a visiting priest who appreciates how much Hawaiian we use. {Smile}

For lunch on the church lanai, I sat with Auntie Barbara and BJ. Auntie Barbara and I talked about things I need for the necklace that lost a ring. In addition to a new ring, it would be nice for the two charms to have a home that can move easily. We also talked about the trip home she'll start soon. I might have to wait until she gets back to get that necklace fixed, though she will try for at least the ring, since she'll be gone a month. I also talked with the gal who, along with her husband, is our congregation's expert in the Hawaiian language. She will be happy to look over the Hawaiian in my story that I've been working on for my Creative Writing class. I need to get that ready this week. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me home. I didn't trust my phone not to erase stuff, so I played Cross Stitch World both down and back. Late in the evening, I found it had erased everything I've done in that pattern for a second time. It's annoying to lose the work but doesn't require recreating anything like rewriting does. So yes, I'd rather lose this progress. {smile}

When I got home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles, videos and comics -- mostly comics --until I wrote up Saturday's daily update, with a few breaks to read more comics. Then I sorted through my socks because some seem to have gone missing. Next, I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house, then my friends who play the game. I waved to a few, but everyone was busy, so I got the mid-level, melee-ranged Olga, and ran a mission in a story arc by myself before having dinner while reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read comics. Then I answered Nox on Discord and left a note for Dr. Faustus on Discord. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house, and then my friends who play the game. I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, Nyxy, and Seb while I got Olga and ran the next mission in the story arc I'd worked on earlier. Dr. Faustus said hi while I was in there. We teamed up and finished that story arc - only a couple missions more. After that, we did two more story arcs in a series of five. I'll have to go up in level to do the last story arcs in that series, but I have more story arcs elsewhere first. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Olga, then wrote a bit in this. Next, I checked Cross Stitch World and discovered it had reset the pattern. Then I got some severe gastrointestinal upset that moved down my GI tract and left in under two hours, I treated it as I could, mostly gas, because that lasted the longest. While treating it, I made notes in this. Next, I paused to revise my story a little and answered an email when the notes were mostly done, since it was earlier than I thought. I also checked out Discord, and adding to my notes along the way. I said the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the Daughters of the King's motto to finish my evening. {Smile}
