Daily Update, August 14, 2025

On Wednesday I got a couple of emails reminding me that I need to sort out Mom's estate. I called her lawyer's office, and learned I'd gotten as far as letting them know back in February. Their secretary said they'd sent me an email in February. I did find it, but she resent it, too. I am so glad! It is SO much easier to find something on page one or two of my email than on page 20-something. I've looked it over, and the next step is getting a printer to print out what they say I need to. Some students in my creative writing class wanted me to use a printer anyway. {Smile}

Then late in the afternoon my main nurse took me to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my Zumba Gold class. It went well. I talked with a couple of gals during most of the breaks and learned - or perhaps was reminded - that a fellow is taking over our time slot next session. Our teacher will get a class at a different time, but 8:30 am is too early for me. The other gals were concerned that the fellow is far too vigorous for them. I suggested looking into the YMCA, or possibly line dancing. I'll have to look into them myself. If the fellow is who they thought it was, I had trouble keeping up with him, too. After class, my main nurse took me home again. {smile}

After breakfast. I browsed on the web and followed up on the emails from my financial adviser by calling Mom's lawyer's office. Then I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse before lunch. During and after lunch, I browsed the web and played Cross Stitch World. Then I began writing up Tuesday's daily update. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on friends, then started working on auction house and storage. I also talked with Pierogis, who was getting called away, but said he'd be back. So, I continued working on auction house and storage. Next, I set up keeping better track of badges my third best badge collector hasn't gotten yet. I have this set up for my best badge collector and second-best badge collector already. I noticed some easy-to-get badges my second-best badge collector didn't have and worked on getting them. Then I started some slightly more complicated badges and got one of those before Pierogis came back. We talked until my main nurse said it was time to leave for my Zumba Gold class. I played a lot of Cross Stitch World both down to Zumba Gold and back from it. {Smile}

After Zumba Gold, I had dinner. After dinner, I finished writing up Tuesday's daily update. Then I read web comics before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked on friends and said hi to Ulty and Azurette. I talked with Ulty while I continued getting two more slightly more complicated badges on my second-best badge collector. Azurette said hi-back near the end of the last badge. When it was done, she gave me a tour of the base she's begun recently, though she complained - with justification - about me multitasking a couple of times. Then we talked at some length. Next, we joined a hunt for two giant monsters. After that, we said goodnight. Then I updated my record of my second-best badge collector's badges, and did some storage stuff. Next, I made notes in this, playing a little Cross Stitch World as breaks and afterwards. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 12, 2025

After breakfast my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my creative writing class. It went well. I learned my teacher's rates for individual assistance. I also learned that my fellow students really want a copy of the story I read in class. I remembered lunch this time, though my relief nurse only packed the salad and water. he didn't pack the bread that usually goes with it. After we were done, my relief nurse took me back home. {Smile}

I didn't get any real exercise on Tuesday, but between line dancing the day before and Zumba Gold expected the next day, I hope I'm covered. {Smile}

When I got back from class, had some starch and such to finish off lunch. Then I checked out some web comics before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house and storage, and got to the teen supergroup meeting barely late. We started out roleplaying. Then we started a story arc one of the players had written, roleplaying in between fights, and occasionally during them, too. I'm not quite comfortable with the theme, but others expressed discomfort, too. Our first attempt at the story arc ended prematurely. The author found she'd published the wrong version. She published the right version, and we rushed through the part we'd already done. Then we did the rest. We were disappointed when last mission failed because a fellow we had to rescue didn't make it. The author was particularly disappointed because she thought she'd removed chances to fail. She promised to republish that mission alone without that requirement, to be done in a later week. We adjourned to our supergroup base for roleplaying. I settled in with the rest. Then I got called to dinner. I left my character officially dozing in the tub while I went to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went right back to the teen supergroup meeting for more roleplaying. An old friend of mine came in and joined us. He's part of the group, but his Tuesday schedule doesn't let him come earlier. We talked even after everyone else left. Then he left, and I wrote up Monday's daily update. Next, I chatted with Nox on Discord, the chat server. Then I went out of the supergroup's base, and found two members talking to another old friend of mine. We talked a little, then I joined their roleplaying until they left. After that, I did auction house, storage and crafting until Dr. Faustus said hi. We talked, and teamed up with me on my lower level villain supergroup member, and Dr. Faustus on their supergroup member. We finished one contact I was only a few missions from finishing. Then we did most of a contact I'd barely begun. Kitten joined us partway through, and finished up with us. Then I did some auction house and storage, played some Cross Stitch World and made notes in this. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 11, 2025

On Monday before breakfast I called Cardiology because I couldn't make it to a test that was scheduled for that day because I can't safely climb into my relief nurse's tall truck before breakfast. They started to tell me I had to reschedule, even though the doctor who ordered the test left. Then they paused, and checked with a nurse. They came back and said no, I didn't need to do it after all. I was wondering if that was better to talk to my new doctor first. Let him decide if I need it, sicne he'll be treating me now. {Smile} 

Then after breakfast, my relief nurse took my down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my first timers' Line Dancing class. I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed visiting with a few of the other students, especially a fellow I'm getting acquainted with. We had a guest instructor for a few dances near but not at the end. The guest did dances that felt slightly different from our usual ones. It's nice ot change things up once in a while. After class, my relief nurse took me home. {Smile}

Then in the middle of the afternoon the gal with Daughters of the King came for my last discernment session. We went over the last chapter together, including the extra stuff it suggested. tried to answer each of the questions at the end, too. Then we talked a bit about how I need to decide whether to join the order. It is a commitment, and not one that is set up to be easy to back out of. Still, I've been wanting a way to draw closer to God and to get more involved in Church, too. Since Mom passed away, church has become a bigger part of my life, yet I feel like I really could be better connected to it. {smile}

When I got home from my dance class, I had lunch. Then I browsed on the web, played Cross Stitch World, and read web comics until the gal came for the Daughters of the King discernment. After my Daughters of the King discernment, I browsed on the web a bit. I almost started writing my daily update, but I noticed it was getting late. I checked Discord, and talked with Kitten, Dennis and Pierogis a bit. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I joined them for two quick, high-level missions before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web. Then I wrote up my daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house and crafting. Then I talked with Ulty and Jenny's player until I spotted a taskforce. I grabbed a character I thought needed it, though after we started, I realized she'd done it before. She still benefitted from it, getting a few badges, as well as the usual rewards. I also realized Dr. Faustus was doing it too, which was nice. somehow it's less lonely knowing I'm working with a friend, even if our interactions are limited. After the taskforce, I joined Dr. Faustus with him on his villain supergroup member and me on my lower level villain supergroup member. We finished one of my contacts, and got much of another contact done, too, with Kitten joining us for the last two or three missions. Then I made notes in this, and began writing a scene for tomorrow's class on creative writing. Then I finished notes in this and went to bed. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 10, 2025

On Sunday after breakfast, my main nurse took me to church. We arrived right at the end of the sermon and sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle. I enjoyed the service. Afterwards, I had lunch on the lanai with Auntie Barbara and the gal who founded our parish's new Daughters of the King chapter. There was a fair bit of dessert, and other stuff, too. {Smile}

After lunch, my main nurse took me to Target. I ran into some gals who were concerned about my cane and asked to pray for me. I was fine with that until they declared my vertigo was gone at the end. That is not how severe, permanent vertigo that's at least partly neurological works. Still, I held my tongue and reminded myself that they meant well. They were just annoyingly clueless. {small smile}

My main nurse and I had a little trouble finding the monitors, but asking a clerk helped. Then we could only find a brand I wasn't looking for. We asked another clerk, who started showing us things, and the second was exactly the monitor I wanted: a 24" Samsung marked down to a little over $100, which is better than Amazon at the moment. We got that, and finished a circuit around the store. So I did get some walking in this weekend. Then we bought the monitor and left. {Smile}

At home, my nurse connected the stand to the panel, then gave it to me. He came by a little later, just as I got the thing working, He was impressed he didn't have to set it up for me. After that, I browsed the web, read a few web comics, and looked over Discord. I tried writing my daily update but didn't get very far. I did say goodnight to Pierogis. Then I treated my blood sugar and felt enough more like myself to ask in a conversation with Kitten, Dennis, and Pierogies (who was still talking) whether I should clean myself up before or after going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dennis said to play after, so I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and got together with Dennis. We squeezed in two moderately high-level missions before dinner. They were my missions, but fought enemies Dennis is working on, so helped us both, which we both agreed was particularly nice. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed on the web and watched videos, though not any videos for any of my classes. Then I made myself finish my daily update before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house, storage and crafting. I went back out to watch a couple of videos, then got back in in time for Dr. Faustus to invite me to a badge mission he was running with several others, too. It took me longer than usual to find a character who needed it, I eventually I found one. I ran the mission with the team he'd gotten. Then the team dispersed. Dr. Faustus left to restart his computer because of a power failure, so I worked on the auction house, crafting, and storage until Dr. Faustus came back. We picked my lower-level villain supergroup member and her supergroup mate and much of one of her contacts. We fought a bunch of cultists with ghosts, and a spider themed villain group. Then we said goodnight. I did some auction house and storage and made notes in this with breaks for Cross Stitch World and videos. {Smile}

Sunday, August 10, 2025

Daily Update, August 9, 2025

On Saturday after breakfast, I found an email from Carol. She was surprised how cheap my monitor was and didn't think it was economical to have her deal with the company. She suggested I do so myself. I thought about it, but what would I have if I did? A monitor very much like the monitor that only lasted 10 months. I think I can afford a better monitor than that one. {Smile}

I'd asked, and she recommended a few brands, so I searched for them online, and via company web pages, at a couple of local stores. It looked like Hilo's Target had a Samsung of the right size for a particularly good deal, so I asked my main nurse to take me there after lunch. We went to the ice cream parlor so I could get a popsicle first. My main nurse's car started making loud, strange noises about a block away from the ice cream parlor. We did make it to the ice cream parlor and parked. My main nurse said to go pick out a popsicle while he looked at the car. I got a lilikoi (passionfruit) creme popsicle while my nurse checked his car. I got back, and settled into the car, enjoying my popsicle. The nurse soon tried to drive off. He started off at a lazy speed that's nice for the parking lot we were in but shook his head and parked again. He called around to track down a tow truck. which isn't easy on a Saturday. Then we waited. While we did, he arranged for a friend of his to come get us, and I played Cross Stitch World. That took a while. When she got here, my main nurse asked if she wanted ice cream, since we're at an ice cream parlor. She got ice cream, while I got a haupia (coconut milk pastry) popsicle. We waited some more, eating the popsicle and ice cream, then playing games on our phones - Cross Stitch World for me. Finally, she took me home while my main nurse continued to wait for the tow truck. He came to my home later with his newer car. I did minimal exercise waiting in the parking lot; just some slow walking, mostly between the ice cream parlor and the two cars. {smile}

After breakfast, I found the email and began to research monitors. Then I realized I needed a nap and took one. When I got up, I started browsing on the web as I woke up. I kept browsing and also read some web comics over lunch. Then I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't find anyone who isn't there later, so I just did some auction house and storage before our trip out. When I got back, I began to write up daily update only to realize that it was already late enough that if I wanted to team up with Pierogies or Dennis in City of Heroes: Homecoming, I'd better do that now and write later. I finished the first paragraph and messaged them on Discord the chat server. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did very little auction house before Pierogies said hi. We talked then teamed up. Dennis joined us as we were starting on missions. We did a few moderately high-level missions, finishing a story arc I had about an evil, psychic carnival. Then we said goodnight/have a nice dinner just before I went to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing up my daily update. Then I read some web comics before I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with auction house, crafting and storage. I also chatted with Nox on Discord. When the crafting and such were done, I said hi to Ulty and Jenny's player. We chatted while I began to play by myself on the same character as earlier. I also did some auction house, storage, and crafting on her. Then Dennis said hi. We chatted, and I switched characters to get stuff to help him with his character, who'd just reached a level good for picking out stuff to improve the character. We chatted quite a while, then said goodnight. I worked with the auction house on the same character. Then I made notes in this, breaking occasionally to check that character in the game. Then I went to bed early-for-me. {Smile}

Daily Update, August 8, 2025

On Friday after breakfast my main nurse took me to my ballroom dance: cha-cha class. I arrived early. Not many came, but those that did stayed until the end. A few came late, including two gals who partner with me. I learned that next quarter will be Ballroom Dance: Foxtrot. I'm ambivalent about going. This hasn't been the best class for learning a dance, but I also just learned they have social get togethers, too, and these classes are good for learning about them. After class, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Then a while after lunch, Carol came. She looked at my monitors. The old one is working fine, but it's so old, it can't plug into the graphics card I got last year. The new one is dying. She asked if I wanted to deal with the manufacturer, asking for a replacement. I asked her to do it for me admitting I felt a little overwhelmed at the thought of handling that. She asked for some information before she left. I sent it later. {smile}

On the way to and from cha-cha, I played Cross Stitch World. After I got home, I had lunch while browsing on the web. Then I wrote up my daily update Before Carol came. After she left, I checked Discord, the chat server, and found that some folks in the villain supergroup were plain busy, and others were actually having trouble, so folks were all excusing themselves. The leader was still going to show, so I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and got my moderately low-level member out. I did some auction house and storage before going to the meeting, where I met with the leader. No one else did, and he was stretched thin, so he called the meeting. He wasn't in a mood for playing or roleplaying for his own reasons. So, I worked on the auction house and storage on several characters. Then I noticed the later long, large-group event recruiting. I got a character and ran it. Then I did auction house, crafting, and storage on her before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I browsed on the web. I accidentally clicked a page that made some popup menus a lot worse. especially since they kept opening web pages. I tried to get it to stop, but the more I did, the worse it got. Ignoring them made them calm down somewhat, but they still interfered with City of Heroes: Homecoming. So, I started chatting with Nox on Discord, which was less affected. I also began making notes in this. I eventually figured out how to arrange things so I could play on City of Heroes: Homecoming, though not quite as well as I like. On there, I began talking with Dragons. By the time I suggested teaming up, they'd joined a taskforce. So, I started playing by myself on a moderately low-level character. Dragons joined me when they were done with their taskforce, which did speed up a slow mission. Then I switched to a moderately high-level character, and Dragons and I did another mission, visiting a bit. After that mission, Dragons left, so I did some auction house, storage and crafting. Then I played Cross Stitch World before going back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to play by myself on a moderately low-level character. After that, I finished notes in this, running late enough, I got to bed late, even for me. {smile}

Friday, August 8, 2025

Daily Update, August 7, 2025

On Thursday, things were pretty quiet as I got used to the laptop again. I did get a call from Carol, who was making plans to come by the next day. I am relieved. The laptop is better than a screen covered in pink and green flickering lines, but the screen is low enough to give me a crick in my neck. After the last few days, a quiet day was a relief, honestly. I didn't get much exercise, between Zumba Gold the day before and cha-cha expected the next day, but I hope I've earned a little break. {Smile}

After breakfast, I browsed on the web and tried reading web comics, but I soon gave up and took a nap. After the nap, I did some more web browsing and played some Cross Stitch World before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. After that, I browsed the web over lunch. Then I began writing up my daily update. I paused to check City of Heroes: Homecoming, but I didn't see anyone when I checked my friends, so I left to finish my daily update. After that, I went back to the game, only to find a note from Div saying he'd seen me earlier, but I left before he could catch me. I answered his note, saying I'll have to try harder to catch him. Then I got a moderately low-level character and started to play by myself on her. Kitten said hi, and we teamed up. I picked a regular mission, then another, and maybe a third. Missions tend to be quick at lower levels, including moderately low ones. Then Kitten said she wasn't feeling great and hoped a bath would help. She left to try that, so I started to play by myself. I didn't get far before Dennis said hi, and we teamed up, with me still on the same character. We did a few missions. Kitten came back and joined us partway through. A little later, Pierogies joined us, and we kept doing missions together. Eventually, Kitten left, tired. Pierogies, Dennis, and I did a few more missions before we parted, them going to bed, and me going to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I watched videos and made notes in this, with breaks to answer Nox on Discord, the chat server. Then I read a web comic before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started by sorting through the auction house and storage. I also checked my friends. I started to play by myself on that moderately low-level character again. Not long into that, Dr. Faustus said hi. They offered a badge mission, and I discovered that my third best badge collector didn't have it, so we did it with me on her. Another badge mission followed. My third best badge collector had it, so I did that on my fourth best badge collector. Then we finished out a story arc, with me staying on the same character. After that, Dr. Faustus left. I checked my friends and did some auction house and storage. Then I played Cross Stitch World before I made notes in this. I went to bed a little early-for-me again. {Smile}

Thursday, August 7, 2025

Daily Update, August 6, 2025

On Wednesday, before breakfast, I got a call from my podiatrist reminding me of an appointment I'd forgotten. I told my main nurse, but it didn't register as well with him as I thought it did, and I didn't watch the time. I caught it when I was supposed to be there. We headed out then, and I got a call when I was getting into the car for my main nurse to take me to my podiatrist. It was my podiatrist's office asking if I was nearly there and suggesting rescheduling when I didn't say I was. However, I said I was only 10-20 minutes, and thy promised to fit me in. Actually, that's the time to their old place. Their current place is around ten minutes away, especially when we were already going when they hung up. {Smile}

They were happy with how quickly we got there and took me right away. My feet passed inspection, and I got my toenails trimmed. Then we went to Office Max. On the way, I called Carol of the Device Repair Shop and told her about my monitor with the lines and flickering. She hoped it was the cables and apologized for not being able to come over sooner than 2-3 days later. At Office Max, I got all three cables my new and old monitors can use and tried them when we got home. They work no differently than the old ones, so it's not that. {smile}

Then late in the afternoon, my main nurse took me to Auntie Sallyi's Luau Hale only to discover my Zumba Gold was in the butler building nearby. I think my main nurse learned that from some folks were busy setting something up in the Hale. He took me to the butler building, and I joined class slightly late. That was my exercise for the day. It was a fun class, though we don't have much time to visit. Breaks are mainly for hydrating. We can rest before and after. My main nurse took me home afterwards. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got ready to go, then browsed the web and read web comics until I realized I was late. Then I and dashed off to my podiatrist, with the phone call on the way. When I got back, I tried the new cables with no success. Then I browsed on the web, then wrote up my daily update. I started sharing it but had to stop before that was done to leave for Zumba Gold. I played Cross Stitch World on the way home. Then I finished sharing my daily update after I got back. After that, I tried playing Cross Stitch World but realized how tired my eyes were. I think they got eye strain from all the flickering. I ended up getting out my laptop and setting it up before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I tried teaming up with Dennis and Kitten in City of Heroes: Homecoming but kept getting distracted trying to get the laptop more comfortable to use. After a few missions, they went to bed, and I checked on my friends in the game and worked on the auction house and crafting. Then I browsed on the web, played Cross Stitch World, and read web comics. After that, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming to play by myself. When I realized how late it was, I finished the mission and made notes in this while talking with Dr. Faustus on Discord. {Smile}

Wednesday, August 6, 2025

Daily Update, August 5, 2025

On Tuesday I set up a file to share at my creative writing class before my relief nurse took me down to the Kamana Senior Center for that class. I got there early but wasn't the first one. One gal brought her sister, who is visiting this week. The teacher gave us a lecture, then a free writing exercise where we each wrote a response for several minutes. Then we broke into small groups where we read recent writing and gave critiques, both saying what we liked, and what we felt needed improvement. {Smile}

My relief nurse picked me up afterwards and took me to my doctor's office.  I told them about the symptoms I've still been having, and they decided the antibiotic had worked, but I probably have a yeast infection too. So, I started a medication for that when I got home, since I have some on hand from the last one. Frequent yeast infections are a side effect of one of my regular medications. {smile}

I also got a phone call from my cousin Kim. We caught up with how each other and our friends and relatives are doing. It was so nice to talk with her. We don't call each other often. We really should call more. {Smile}

I didn't exercise on Tuesday, but between line dancing on Monday, and Zumba Gold on Wednesday, a break feels good. {Smile}

After class, I realized I hadn't eaten the lunch I'd brought. I meant to eat it during class, but I ate some on the way to my doctor's office instead, and most of the rest on the way home. I finished up my water and got more to drink when I got home. Then I settled into my computer, checking the chat world and answering some messages. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. close to the time for the teen supergroup meeting. I waited for it to begin and talked with Pierogies. The supergroup meeting started with roleplaying like usual. I'm afraid I took a break to try replacing my monitor with an older, smaller one, but the computer wouldn't talk to the older monitor. The new monitor has developed some both pink and green horizontal lines that flicker and take hours to go away. The wait is getting hard on my migraine, so I'd like another solution, but the computer and the old monitor ignore each other when I try to connect them. I really don't know what's wrong. Anyway, I put up with the new monitor being difficult through the roleplaying, and well into a taskforce that's especially rewarding the first time you do it on a character this week. We had to start without one member because they were too late getting back home after work. We did talk with them after they arrived, but taskforces don't let you add members partway through. After the taskforce, I roleplayed with the supergroup a little before breaking for dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to the teen supergroup meeting, where the roleplaying was going strong. It kept going for quite a while. I'm afraid I snuck in writing up Monday's daily update and starting notes for Tuesday's update as it slowed down. I also talked a little with Dr. Faustus. Eventually, most left for bed. That's when Phonso invited me to a strike force. I realized the last two other members, who were playing a romantic couple, looked like they'd appreciate some privacy. So, I excused myself, and joined the strike force, arranging with Dr. Faustus to meet there. We ran it with the group Phonso recruited. After the strike force, the group broke up. I said goodnight to Phonso, and did some auction house and similar sorting. Then I said hi to Dr. Faustus again and joined them for some missions with roleplaying until we said goodnight. After that, I did some auction house and similar stuff before making notes in this. I got to bed early-for-me. I wouldn't mind this being my new normal time. {Smile}

Tuesday, August 5, 2025

Daily Update, August 4, 2025

 On Monday after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Aunty Sally's Luau Hale for my line dancing class. This was my exercise for the day. I enjoyed the class, which went pretty well I thought. I only visited a little with others, though. I need to work on doing more visiting during the breaks. That's when you can make friends. When we were done, my relief nurse came and took me back home. {Smile}

Then, in the afternoon, the gal with Daughters of the King came for discernment. She's got a full-time teaching job, which pushes us later for the last couple of weeks, especially since this isn't paid. Yes, these sessions are entirely volunteer for both of us. I thought the session went pretty well. We hope to finish next week. {Smile}

After we got back from my line dancing class, I had lunch. Then I played Cross Stitch World and browsed on the web before I began writing up my daily update. I paused to read some web comics, then went back to writing my daily update. Then I stopped for my study of the Daughters of the King discernment when the gal came over. After she left, I finished writing up my daily update. Then I answered Nox and others on Discord before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I only time to check on friends and do some auction house and crafting before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with the auction house and crafting, then checked on my friends. I said hi to Dennis and Dr. Faustus, and started talking with both of them, especially with Dennis at first. He and I decided to team up with Dr, Faustus if they'd like. We three did a mission together, and Rav joined us partway through. Then Phonso invited us to a taskforce. We finished mission, then the four of us joined him. He recruited more, and we started the taskforce. Somehow, we didn't have everyone with us, so we went back to start with the full group. Afterwards, I said goodnight to Dennis, Phonso, and Dr. Faustus. Then I worked on the auction house and crafting the task force had collected stuff for. After that, I played Cross Stitch World and began notes in this. I played Cross Stitch World and revised a story I'm working on for my creative writing class, with less new writing than I hoped. Finishing the first scene was easy. Starting the second scene was not happening. So, I continued notes in this with a little browsing on the web before going to bed early-for-me again. {Smile}
