Daily Update, April 28, 2026

The night before Tuesday, i got to be a few minutes before 2 am. I could have come earlier, since I'd gotten done with some stuff early, but I didn't realize I wanted to do that in time. Well, next time. {rueful smile}

When I got up, my regular relief nurse greeted me. We talked a lot over the day, catching up, since it had been months since we'd talked much or seen each other. He assures me he's better, though still healing. It's just wonderful to have him back, even if it's just one day a week. {Smile}

Before lunch, my relief nurse took me to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. My teacher was happy that when I found myself stuck on what to do next, I "free wrote" about being stuck and some options I saw for going forward. I found the lecture quite interesting, and enjoyed both critiquing a partner's writing, and sharing my own. I feel fairly confident about how to proceed with the story I've been working on. The story I want to start working on as well isn't as ready for me, but maybe another week of free writing will help. After class, my regular relief nurse took me back home. On the way down to class and also on the way back, I talked with my regular relief nurse more than I played Cross Stitch World, but I did do both, and both ways. {Smile}

After I got home, I talked with my regular relief nurse some more before I got onto my computer. I watched a couple of short videos and read a few short comics. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and got Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member. I Seemed to be the first to arrive at our weekly teen supergroup meeting. I checked on my friends who play the game and played with Aneira's costume for a bit. Then I checked around again and discovered Nyxy's Pella talking with Ulty's and Jenny's player's new characters. I joined in roleplaying telling them about our supergroup. The most regular guy came in and joined us. Eventually, we ran a short taskforce. Then we went back to our supergroup base to roleplay afterwards. Jenny's player left to work on something, and I had Aneira nap while I ate dinner with my regular relief nurse. I did squeeze in reading Forward Day by Day. We also talked a fair bit. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. Aneira woke up to find folks still talking. Out of character, we talked about badges. Nyxy remembered one she wanted and invited everyone to come along. We did; even Jenny's Player joined the badge run. I switched to Anka, my best badge collector, who didn't have the badge. We ran it, and I got the badge. Then our team broke up. I read comics. Then I found a note from Dr. Faustus on Discord. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to find Dr. Faustus with Seb in a taskforce. I worked on a new badge on many characters while I waited for them. When they were done, we three teamed up with me on melee Olga. We finished the story that changed contacts in the middle. One of Seb's friends joined near the end. We started a more vaguely related story arc with one mission. Olga gained a level, so I turned off experience to not miss content. Our team broke up, and I trained for the level. Next, I found an invitation to a farm. Anka, my best badge collector, sat it while I wrote some in this, then made notes in it. After that, I completed an order on Amazon that Jason requested and messaged him about it. I kept checking the farm, but the farmer didn't want me pulling out early. They finished in time for me to shut down, but I was a little late for bed. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
