Daily Update, October 9, 2026

The night before Thursday, I got to bed a few minutes before 2 am. I made my first bedtime goal again. I hope I'm beginning to get the hang of this, but time will tell. {Smile}

After breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Ballroom Dance: Tango class. I got there slightly early and talked with the teacher's assistant and a student I know who hadn't come last week. I'm glad he's back. I like him as both a friend and a dance partner. Dance went well. I'm learning more steps and getting the ones I learned last week down better. They're still all beginner steps, but I'm already working on the first half of the list when we've just had two sessions. I danced with the teacher's assistant, two gals who are willing to sort of lead, and the guy I talked to before class. After class, my main nurse came and took me back home. {Smile}

I had breakfast with my main nurse and the TV. Then I went to my class. After we got back, I went onto my computer. I read web comics and watched videos through lunch. Next, I tried to call my financial adviser and left a message on their answering machine. I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play the game. I fooled around with melee-ranged Olga for a bit and talked with Jenny's Player. I took melee-ranged Olga to villain supergroup meeting. Patience, Seb's Komanos, and our leader were already there. Dr. Faustus, Anya, and our most regular new member joined us. We ran a strike force that is giving particularly good rewards this week. After the strike force, the group quickly broke up. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on melee ranged Olga until I broke to eat dinner with my main nurse, the TV, and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

After dinner, I read web comics, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on my friends who play the game. Realizing that Radio was on, which is very rare indeed, I quickly said hi and found out he was teaming with a friend I see even more rarely. We teamed up and I quickly established connections with the other friend. I joined them in a mission, but it was Radio's and he had to leave when it got late for him, even though we were not done. My other friend joined a trial. I joined the team too. We were waiting for the last person to join when I asked if I could make a drink run. The leader said yes. I took longer than I expected but was still surprised when I discovered I was not on a team when I got back. They'd left without me. My friend was disappointed, and the leader apologized. I didn't catch their return, so my friend started trick-or-treating without me. I joined him for a giant monster hunt. We both stayed for a second giant monster hunt. Then we said goodnight. I switched to Yenna Grajewo, a moderately low-level character I made in honor of a friend who died some years ago. I discovered she was ready to gain level. I tried a contact I haven't done much with because I'd been told she had timed missions, and I don't like those. Only her first mission is timed; I thought they all were. I got Yenna a level and turned off experience after confirming that this contact runs out of missions. I worked on the in-game auction house and storage on Yenna. Next, I wrote a little in this. I copied my Creative Writing class's proposal form for stories into my computer. I filled separate copies out for two stories I want to work on and copied a blank form and both filled out ones to the cloud. Then I wrote some more in this and made notes in this, too. I paused to research and to close windows on my computer. I checked Cross Stitch World. I ended my evening with the Lord's Prayer, Saint Francis's Prayer, and the motto of the Daughters of the King. {Smile}
