Daily Update, April 17, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a bit after 1:45 am. Slightly earlier, but not a lot. I do want to get better, but it looks like I may not do so quickly. {small smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my ballroom dance class. I arrived early enough to get in a bit of visiting before we started dancing. We reviewed the steps from last week, and I got two in particular down better. I danced with the teacher, his assistant, two other guys, two or three other gals, and by myself when I didn't have a partner, which I normally do. The assistant showed me two steps beyond what the teacher had shown us. Then I got the teacher to show me those two steps, because I do feel I know them better after he does. I'm pretty happy being two steps ahead of the other beginners. We also have intermediate and advanced students who are way ahead of me. {Smile}

After class, I asked my main nurse to pick up a medication I needed, but Safeway's pharmacy was closed for lunch. So, we went home, and my nurse got them later. I played Cross Stitch World when I was in the car. {Smile}

At home, I got onto my computer. I browsed articles and videos, then read comics. Next, I wrote some of Thursday's daily update. I stopped to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and went to my villain supergroup meeting on the melee-ranged Olga, my lower-level villain supergroup member. I found Seb, Dr. Faustus, and our leader roleplaying when I got there. Our long-time regular and the new gal joined us. We roleplayed inducting the new gal into our group. Then we finished a story arc of mine and started the next in the post-apocalyptic part of an alternate world. Dr. Faustus and the long-time regular disconnected often, so they left in disgust. Seb and the new gal left to roleplay in a bar. I did a series of talk-missions on Olga until I found the next regular mission. Next, I did a hunt on Olga alone, followed by some auction house, storage and crafting on her. After that, I did my beginning of the weekend auction house on her and another character before I went to dinner. During dinner, I read Forward Day by Day, and a began a novel I recently got. {Smile}

After dinner, I read web comics. Then I finished Thursday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I did the beginning of the weekend auction house on one more character. I also talked to someone I haven't seen for years. After that, I did a mission on melee-ranged Olga, followed by more auction house and storage on her. I also talked with Nox on Discord on and off through much of the evening. I shifted to Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, and began a hunt on her. Dennis said hi, and we teamed up. We finished the hunt, then did a mission of mine, finishing a story arc. Next was a hunt, so I suggested we shift to his stuff. We did two of his missions from the same contact before he left for bed. I did some auction house, storage and crafting. followed by the hunt I didn't want to do with Dennis. I had trouble finding the right critters, finishing later than I meant to. Next, I wrote a tiny bit and made lots of notes in this, with one break to check Cross Stitch World. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
