Daily Update, March 25, 2026

The night before Wednesday, I got to bed a little more before 2 am and again felt better rested than I'm used to. I'm surprised that really only several minutes make that much difference, but I'll take it. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I read Forward Day by Day. After breakfast, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update with relatively few and short breaks. It was long, so took most of the morning. Then I relaxed with comics over lunch. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I talked with Jenny's player, asking some questions, but she couldn't help me. After that, I got some badges for Aneira, my moderately high-level teen supergroup member. They're a collection that, when complete, improves her in a couple of ways. I'd gotten some already. I got two more on my own, then took a break. Pierogies had said hi while I was away, so when I got back, I said hi to him. He eventually responded. We talked a little, and he said he'd like to help me with that last badge, for defeating a particular giant monster the first time. We summoned the monster. I got an acquaintance to join us, but they went quiet, then disappeared just as we summoned the monster and started fighting. We recruited more and got a high-level character to lead the team. We got the giant monster, then the team broke up. Pierogies was tired, so we said goodnight, and he left. Then I got Seameownt, the mid-level character Kitten designed. I began to work on that same collection of badges and a similar collection on them. I got the easier badges in both collections first. Next, I started on an easy badge takes longer. I ran into Dennis. We teamed up, and he helped me with it until he had to go to bed. I went to dinner, since it was time. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game, and talked with Ulty, who was able to answer the questions Jenny's Player couldn't. Also, Seb said hi, and we chatted a little. I began to work on the badges on Seameownt again. Dr. Faustus said hi, so I got Seb's attention, and invited him to join us. The three of us continued the story arc we'd begun the previous night. Then the player of the newest member of the teen supergroup said hi. We chatted, and I invited her to join us. She did, and we played with light roleplaying through the rest of the contact, and into a sequel contact. We broke to join a zombie apocalypse. After the apocalypse, one guy from the zombie apocalypse stayed. The new gal said she needed to leave, and I encouraged Dr. Faustus to invite her to our villain supergroup, which he did, provisionally. Next, she left, wishing she could continue that arc with us. I switched to a different story arc for a few missions, until it got late enough, the team broke up. I worked on auction house storage and crafting on the three characters I'd played over the day, one after another. I also wrote maybe half of this. Shortly after I finished on City of Heroes: Homecoming, I switched to making notes in this. I only watched a couple of short videos in breaks and read one short story by a classmate in my Creative Writing class. After I finished the notes, I checked Cross Stitch World. I said the Lord's Prayer, St. Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King to finish my evening. {Smile}
