Daily Update, August 7, 2026

The night before Friday, I got to bed just a couple minutes after 2am. I missed even my first bedtime goal, but not by much. I know I need to try harder. {smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Mambo class. I played Criss Stitch World on the way down. Class went well. I think I have all but one step down even when dancing by myself. I'm still working on the hammerlock. I first did it when I was six or seven, and really practiced it through most of my teens, but it depends on the arms so much, it's hard to keep track of the foot moves without a partner. I plan to keep at it. I eventually figured out how to shadow a crossbody lead, another step where the arms are important and it's really hard to keep track of the feet without a partner. After class, my main nurse took me back home. I played Cross Stitch World on the way home. {Smile}

After I got back from class, I confirmed that my main nurse had returned the overdue library book with a hold on it. Then I got onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos through lunch and into the afternoon. I also wrote some of Thursday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game and went to the villain supergroup meeting. Seb was already there, so we started roleplaying. Dr. Faustus joined us, and our most regular new member. We continued roleplaying, and visited out-of-character, too. The leader joined us, as did Anya at the last moment. We ran a strike force together, chatting both in-character and out-of-character along the way. Next, the group broke up. I worked on the beginning-of-the-weekend auction house on a few characters. After that, I ran that story arc I'd done on Ana the other night two more times, getting four more badges. I did some crafting on her and auction house and storage on Olivia Ragnarson, then set Ana to working passively on a badge while I had dinner with my main nurse, his TV, and forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to my computer and City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the in-game auction house on a few characters. Michiel said hi, and asked to join me. I picked a story arc on Aneira, my higher-level teen supergroup member, and we did the first mission together. Then he said goodnight and left. Next, Dennis said hi on Discord. We teamed up and did a mission of his. We did two in the story arc I'd started with Michiel next, but the second glitched, I think. I found out later that we missed the only battle in it. So, Dennis called it boring, and we ran one of his before we said goodnight and he left. I checked Cross Stitch World, and my friends who play City of Heroes on Homecoming. After that, I got Topaz Proudfoot and did a hunt. Then I started a story arc on her. Next, I worked on the in-game storage on her, Aneira, Ana, and Olivia, and updated Ana's badge record. After that, I did a little shopping on Amazon before I wrote a little in this and made many notes in this. I took a break in writing notes to shop a little more on Amazon. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
