Daily Update, June 26, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed a few minutes before two. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to clearly meet my first goal. That's a start. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got a call from my dentist's office. Would I like to come in at 1 pm to get my teeth cleaned by their dental hygienist? Why yes! I'd missed an appointment for that a month or so ago, and they couldn't schedule me again until late summer. I'd asked to be on the waiting list in case something opened up, and something did. We went down to be sure to get there in ample time. They took me after a short wait and cleaned my teeth nicely. Their new hygienist is nice. Afterwards, I made appointments for another cleaning and a checkup. Then we started home. My main nurse and I had planned to stop by the Office of Aging on the way home, but the appointment lasted long enough, my main nurse suggested going straight home so I wouldn't be late to my villain supergroup meeting. I did so and made it to the meeting nicely. I'm sure we made the right choice. I played Cross Stitch World on the way down, the way back, and while waiting in the dentist's office. {Smile}

I read Forward Day by Day over breakfast. then, while I was getting ready for the day, my Dentist's office called. After the call, I went onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos through lunch. Then I went to get my teeth cleaned. When I got back, I got onto my computer. I read some short comics, and checked Discord, where I learned that our leader couldn't make it, but there was no mention of cancelling, so I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked a couple of characters for the beginning of the weekend auction house, but they didn't have anything. I also checked on my friends who play the game. Next, I went to the villain supergroup meeting. I found Dr. Faustus and Anya there already. Our most regular member, who plays a vampire named Patience, joined us, as did one of the newest members. The five of us debated what to do and settled on one of my story arcs. We ran it and finished it. When the last mission was done, Dr. Faustus left. We did a couple of individual missions with the same contact before Anya and the new gal left, too. Patience stopped playing, but we talked. I learned she wanted me to pick the name to call her. I debated between her player's name, Lollipop Dreams, and her character's name, Patience. I worked on the in-game auction house, storage and crafting on Hezabell, then switched to check more characters for beginning of the weekend auction house. I had dinner with my main nurse and read _Brigands and Breadknives_ by Travis Baldree. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer. I read some comics, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. I also did the beginning of the weekend auction house on Ana, my third best badge collector. Well, unless you count what Hezabell made while playing. Dennis said hi, and I grabbed Hezabell because I thought her next mission from that contact gave a badge. No, it started a second, shorter story arc. We did the whole thing, pausing between the first and second mission to do a mission Dennis had that was nearby. After my story arc, Dennis left. I worked on the auction house, storage and crafting on Hezabell, since she'd produced more. Then I started to work on a badge on Ana. I switched to an individual mission fur her. Next, I worked on her auction house, storage and crafting that playing had produced. After that, I wrote in this. I checked Cross Stich World before making notes in this. I finished my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Payer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
