Daily Update, October 9, 2025

On Thursday before breakfast I started to sign in for my online counselling. However, I was early. I'd forgotten I'd made it after lunch this week in case I got into the Improver's Line Dance class right after breakfast. So, I actually had my online counselling after lunch. We talked a lot. I think it was a good session. I hope she's helping me begin to make better plans for my future. {Smile}

After breakfast, I got onto my computer and went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked the auction house for that mid-level character on the most popular shard. Then I took a nap. Next, I got onto my computer and browsed web articles and web comics while I ate lunch. After that, I had my counselling session. After counselling, I wrote up my daily update, reading web articles in the breaks. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house for the mid-level character on the most popular shard, and got the final thing I bid on, so I don't have to keep checking on her so much. Then I went back to my usual shard. I checked on my friends who also play the game. Then I noticed advertisements for the later long, large-group event, so I went to it on my sixth best badge collector. When I'd been running it for a fair while, Dennis came on and said hi. We talked, and he joined the event near the end. He got a badge he really wanted for his favorite character right at the very end. Then we teamed up, doing a regular mission of his to make space for a special Halloween mission he wanted. Then we did that special mission again, because I had one too. Next, we barely did a door of Trick or Treat before my dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I worked on some real-life paperwork that had come up - bills and such. Then I made notes in this, checking articles on the web and doing a little shopping on Amazon that my main nurse requested. Then I answered Nox on Discord, the chat server. I also played a little Cross Stitch World before I went onto City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I checked my friends who play the game before I started trick-or-treating on my third-best badge collector. That was interrupted by another server crash. This one was slightly longer than the night before, so I began talking to Kitten before it came back. Then I went back to where I'd been trick-or-treating. I found Michiel waiting there too. We talked for a bit. Then I ended up starting a trick-or-treat team that I eventually handed it off to another to lead. I also talked with Nox on Discord a bit in brief breaks from trick-or-treat. Someone on the trick-or-treat team found a couple of giant monsters, which were a wonderful break, since I was getting bored. Then a fellow wanted to do a special Halloween mission, but he hadn't actually gotten one. I'd left he group to team up with him for a break, and I did have the mission, so we did mine. Afterwards, we talked and established long-term communications before he left for bed. Next, I did auction house and storage for the character I was on, and auction house for both of my teen supergroup members. I also answered Pierogies on Discord and started searching BAEN Books free library for an author I want to try. I found a story by a couple of authors I really enjoy instead and read it. After that, I answered Pierogies on Discord again. I finished my notes in this, then wrote more to friends on Discord before ending with the Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 8, 2025

On Wednesday. before breakfast, I straightened out a misunderstanding with the leader of the teen supergroup I'm in. I've been approaching sharing my content in a way she finds frustrating, which in turn frustrates me. I will have to find a better way to deal with this. {smile}

Then a while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale for my dance fusion class. I was early, which let me get paying and paperwork done before class began. It's line dancing with different dances than Monday, but not hard ones. I had less trouble than I thought; I'm beginning to learn to remember the dances. My relief nurse took me home afterwards. {Smile}

In the late afternoon, I cleaned myself up by myself. It's the first time I did that solo since Mom died, but the gals who helped me the past three weeks weren't available. I'm just not comfortable doing that with my relief nurse's help when we're both single and of similar age. {smile}

I had breakfast with my relief nurse while trying to read The Unjust Steward by Miguel Escobar and not getting far. After class, I had lunch with him and was much more successful at concentrating on the same book. Then I went onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos on the web. Eventually, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update before cleaning myself up. Right after that was dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I began notes in this before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular shard. Then I went to my usual shard and checked my teen supergroup member and my third-best badge collector. I checked my friends who play the game, too., and talked with Jenny's Player, Ulty, and Nyxy. Next, I went to join the Trick-or-Treat league that seems to be going when the server is working right this month, but it crashed badly not long after I'd settled in. Somehow, all regular shards seemed to be running when I checked just after the crash finished. Just the two test shards were down. So, I went back and was one of the first few to help restart the Trick-or-treat league. I did that for a while, and discovered Dragons was Trick-or-treating too. We chatted for a bit. Then Dragons, who must have left, invited me to a fairly high-level taskforce set in ancient Rome. I joined and ran it, then worked on auction house and storage on my third best badge collector. Next, I checked the auction house on that mid-level character on the most popular shard. After that, I went back to my regular shard to fool around with the slightly higher-level teen supergroup member while I thought about how to handle things better for her. Next, I made more notes in this, with breaks for Amazon shopping and web comics. After that, I finished notes in this. Then I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. I finally squeezed in a little Amazon shopping while shutting down. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 7, 2025

On Tuesday, a while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my Creative Writing class. It went well. We met this session's student, finishing the introductions we didn't finish last week. I was one of the ones who introduced myself, since they hadn't gotten to me last week. Class was interrupted by a spam phone call. I had lunch during the class. My relief nurse took me home afterwards. {Smile}

At home I hopped on the computer and read a couple of articles on the web. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular shard first. Then checked auction house and storage on my slightly higher-level character in the teen supergroup. I tried to find something to do but didn't before it was time to go to the meeting... except I was the only member in the whole group online. Everyone else was at least a little late, when I was a bit early. We had a new person, with a bee-themed character. I think they agreed to join at the end. We started out roleplaying continuing until everyone arrived and settled in. We had more than a full team, but two bowed out, saying they were tired. That left a full team, so we did a taskforce that gives a special, bigger reward this week. It was long, and one who did start with us complained they were tired well before the end. Still, they stuck it out, as did everyone else. They and one other left for bed as soon as we finished. I arranged my character for a nap in the supergroup base, then went to eat dinner with my relief nurse. {Smile}

After dinner, I went right back City of Heroes: Homecoming. Four were still roleplaying, so I joined them. I made a point to try to catch up and keep up, and I think I did better than sometimes. Eventually they broke up. I started to sort through my stuff, but I couldn't do much in the base, so I stepped outside. I was greeted with the sound of a zombie invasion starting. The Halloween Event is the season for those. They're far more common then than the rest of the year. I found a group to join that invited me to join their team, which soon turned into a small league. I soon got the one zombie badge that character didn't have yet. After the invasion, our leader looked for a regular event in the same zone. He did find it, so I switched to my best badge collector. I didn't get back in time to stop it for the badge, but we fought the giant monster it can produce. Then I left to write up Monday's daily update. I kept getting distracted by videos, articles, and comics on the web, but I finally finished. I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to work on auction house, crafting, and storage on the teen supergroup member I'd used earlier. Then I checked on my friends who play the game. I found Kitten was on. It was too late to play together, but we talked a while. Then Pierogies came on, and we talked, too. I made notes on this but kept going back to Homecoming to talk with Kitten and Pierogies. I also watched a video Kitten shared and briefly checked Cross Stitch World. Eventually finished notes in this. Then I read Forward Day by Day and said the Lord's Prayer. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 6, 2025

On Monday, a while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Aunty Sally's Luau Hale for my First Timer's Line Dancing class. I arrived slightly late but joined the dancers when I was ready. I pretty much kept up. Only one break cut into the dancing, but I was thirsty and needed more of the water I'd brought. When I was done, I joined them again. Afterwards, I went out pretty quickly, and my relief nurse took me straight home. There he met up with my housekeeper because he hired her to clean up for a guest who's coming. {Smile}

That afternoon, I got a call from Auntie Barbara. We didn't talk long, since it was close to bed for her already, being in the Eastern time zone, while I'm in Hawai'i. Still, it was so nice hearing from her! I've missed her, though I'm happy she's enjoying her trip to see friends and family. {Smile}

I played Cross Stitch World in the car some of the way over to my class and back. After we got home, I had lunch. I'm still reading The Unjust Steward during many meals, including that one. It's thought provoking. Anyway, after lunch I got onto my computer. I read articles and watched videos on the web. I also played Cross Stitch World. I tried to write up my daily update, but I kept getting distracted by articles, videos and comics on the web, as well as Cross Stitch World. Also, my mind kept wandering more than usual. I finally got into City of heroes: Homecoming late. I checked the mid-level character on the most popular shard and collected stuff that she'd bought through the auction house. I decided against adjusting bids and switched to my usual shard on my third best badge collector. I trick-or-treated on her until dinner, though I didn't get those event badges I want. In Trick-or-Treating, a very popular activity that will last a little into November, you click on doors. If you get a costume, or aa small, desirable trinket, you got a treat. If Halloween-themed monsters pop out, that's a trick. Since most of the game is fighting a variety of enemies, the tricks are at least as popular as the treats. {Smile]

After dinner, I did a little with articles and videos on the web before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I decided I was tired of Trick or Treating when I'm not getting the usual badges from it, so I got the character I most often team with Dr. Faustus on. I did one hunt and was finishing a second hunt when Dr. Faustus said hi. I finished the second hunt while we got together. Dr. Faustus picked some story arcs I rarely get around to. We did one and were doing the first mission of a second when Kitten said "Mew." We quit and restarted so we could add her, because these characters could only get these story arcs in a way that doesn't let you add after you start. We did that arc, too, then said goodnight. I started notes in this, then took a break to play Cross Stitch World. Next, I got distracted reading about the server outage from the past weekend. Eventually, I made more notes in this, breaking to work on the auction house and storage in City of Heroes: Homecoming, both for the character I played most that night and the mid-level on the most popular shard. Then I finished notes in this. I got sidetracked some more before I said the Lord's Prayer and read Forward Day by Day. I snuck in minimal storage on my third-best badge collector in City of Heroes: Homecoming right before bed. {Smile}

Daily Update. October 5, 2025

On Sunday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to church. We arrived during the announcements an sat in Dad's parents' pew. It was a nice service. Our former assistant priest officiated as supply priest. Afterwards, we ate on the lanai and actually ran low on both main courses and dessert. {Smile}

Afterwards, my main nurse took me to Charlotte's, where I visited after a short wait. After a while, my main nurse came and visited too. We watched a service on TV with her for a while. Then we left when home communion came After that, my main nurse took me home. {Smile}

Oh! A friend on Facebook asked why I don't use artificial sweeteners. Well, saccharine tastes bitter, not sweet, aspartame gives me quite nasty migraines, and sucralose drives my blood sugar up worse than sugar does. I'm okay with sorbitol in toothpaste, but I haven't found it anywhere else. I haven't tried stevia, but with all my other problems, I'm not too hopeful.

On ride to church, the wait at Charlotte's, and the ride home, I played Cross Stitch World. When I got home, I read articles and watched videos on the web and played a little more Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Saturday's daily update before I cleaned myself up with the help of my main nurse. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular shard, collecting things that dropped int eh auction overnight, and upgrading bids that were still waiting. After that, I checked on my friends who play. I shifted to my usual server, and got my third best badge collector, managing to just miss the Halloween badge event she still needs. So, I trick0or-treated until Dennis said hi. Dennis and I teamed up, doing a few missions before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I read articles and watched videos on the web before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I started to go into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked my friends who play the game but went back out to read web comics. Next, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and found I'd just missed another of those badge events my third best badge collector needs. I started trick-or-treating, in hopes one would happen, and the group would do it. Then Dr. Faustus said hi, and we teamed up after I got a giant monster with the trick-or-treaters. Dr. Faustus and I did several missions. Then we tried to do another of those badge events, but the folks who might help had just done one. Dr. Faustus tried to tell me, but I missed him saying that. I'm not too good at reading chat while playing. I really need to work harder at that. Anyway, we went back to doing missions, but we only did a couple more before he left. After that, I worked on the auction house and storage on the two characters I'd used much that day. Then I made notes in this, with breaks to read articles on the web and play Cross Stitch World. After more notes, I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to check on friends who play. I also checked the auction house on the mid-level character on the most popular server. I finished the evening with The Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Daily Update, October 4, 2025

On Saturday after breakfast, I looked up high blood sugar and its treatment, because I'm suspicious that some of my recent tiredness is linked to that. It said the main treatment was to take your diabetes medication and drink more fluids, especially water, because dehydration makes it worse. I'm not supposed to increase my insulin or my Ozempic, and I have been taking them, so I tried to drink more tea and water and stay away from sugary stuff including the sore throat drops, though not entirely with them. I completely stayed away from a vanilla tea that I recently realized has dried honey in it. Too bad; it tastes pretty good. I hope my blood sugar is calming down now. {Smile}

Then a while after lunch my main nurse took me down to the ice cream parlor for a popsicle. They had chocolate fudge, but I remembered my current blood sugar and picked guava cream instead. I hope I'll be able to ease up after a while, but it is a nice flavor, too. I ate it as my main nurse took me to Prince Kuhio Plaza. There, we walked all the way around it, including through two non-anchor stores as well as both Macys, for somewhere around 40 minutes. Enjoy Comics is still cleaning up, though it's definitely emptier. My main nurse wondered if they only work on weekends or something. After the walk, my main nurse took me back home. {Smile}

Around researching high blood sugar, I caught up on some web comics. I also read some articles and watched some videos on the web and played Cross Stitch World. Then I began writing up Friday's daily update. I switched back to Cross Stitch World and articles and videos on the web during lunch. Then I finished Friday's daily update. Next, I checked on a busy conversation between Kitten and Dennis on Discord. It seemed our favorite "shard," the part of Homecoming where we all play City of Heroes: Homecoming, had been down, along with the smallest of the shards. However, an announcement from Homecoming made it look like they had been fixed shortly before we left for our outing. When I got back, I went to City of Heroes: Homecoming pretty quickly. No, our shard and the smallest shard hadn't been fixed, though other four were all up. I looked for my one mid-level character among the characters I'd barely begun on other shards. I found the mid-level character on the most popular shard. Then Dennis said hi. He was on a much less used shard. We debated him joining me or me joining him. I wanted to move the character, but he insisted I make a new character. I did and ran the tutorial as he said. I was just starting to hunt for a badge easiest to get inside the tutorial when I got called to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to that new character on the less used shard. I didn't find Dennis, so I left a note for him on Discord. I went back to the character and began to hunt for that badge again. Then Pierogies said hi. We chatted, and I was so happy to learn he's having a good day! I haven't seen him much recently, and think many days are less than good. He wanted to get together on the most popular shard where that mid-level character is. I happily switched, and we teamed up. He was only a bit higher than me. He invited me to his supergroup, and we ran a mission or two. Then we started to work on a badge that we were both missing that improves stats. That's when Dennis said hi. He joined us, and we all worked on that badge until the shard we all usually use came back up. I asked about switching, but both Pierogies and Dennis left for bed instead, since it was late in their time zone (or zones; I'm not quite sure if they're int eh same or neighboring time zones). Just after they left, Dr. Faustus said hi from our usual shard. So, I joined him on the character I've been teaming with him so much on. We did team up and finished the story arc we were working on. Then we started another story arc, stopping when Dr. Faustus had to leave. Next, I did a little storage. After that, I began notes in this with a break for Cross Stitch World, and a couple of breaks for auction house and storage on that mid-level character on the most popular shard and crafting on a couple of characters on my usual shard. Then I finished up notes in this and ended with the Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Saturday, October 4, 2025

Daily Update, October 3, 2025

On Friday after breakfast, my main nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center for my first Ballroom Dance: Foxtrot class. I paid for it, so I'm fully in now. I certainly enjoyed the class. We covered mainly beginning steps I think I caught on faster than with the cha-cha, but I learned this one not just from my P.E. teacher, who didn't know how to teach dance, but from Dad, who did teach dance. When class was done, my main nurse came and took me home again. {Smile}

I half-slept on the way down and back, because I was tired. It helped, but I was still tired. When I got home, I got onto my computer and read articles and watched videos right over lunch. Then I took a nap. I felt better when I got up, but still somewhat tired. Treating my blood sugar seemed to help. While I was treating my blood sugar, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I went to the villain supergroup meeting on my mid-level member. Dr. Faustus and another were already there. The leader and one more came. WE visited in-character and out, then got ready to trick-or-treat. I switched to my moderately high-level member for that. We did it for a couple of hours, right through a zombie apocalypse. I got a bunch of badges, including most of the trick-or-treat badges. The meeting broke up a while before dinner because the leader was tired, and others had things to do. I sorted out storage, auction house, and crafting for a while. Then I squeezed in cleaning myself up with the help of my main nurse before dinner. {Smile}

After dinner read articles and watched videos on the web. Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started by working on the auction house, storage and crafting some more. Next, I started trick-or-treating on my third-best badge collector. I hadn't been doing that long when Dr. Faustus said hi. I left trick-or-treating to join him. We finished the story arc we started last night, then started another story arc before saying goodnight. I did a little auction house and storage, then made notes in this with a longer break than I meant to looking at dance shoes on Amazon. After that I finished notes in this and ended with The Lord's Prayer and Forward Day by Day. Yes, I'm using the Lord's Prayer, though I recently altered one line, inspired by The Unjust Steward by Miguel Escobar. He encouraged alternatives to the phrase "our daily bread." He chose a description of lots and lots of bread after reflecting on the Bible and the lives of the people who wrote it. But he mentioned the caloric requirements of different people, and that inspired me to choose the phrase "fully enough bread" instead. It seemed a good way to factor in that some people need more than others, due to their general activity levels, and any recent problems getting enough in the first place. {Smile}

Friday, October 3, 2025

Daily Update, October 2, 2025

Thursday after breakfast, I discussed things with my main nurse and decided the Improvers Line Dancing class was a bit ambitious the day after Dance Fusion and day before Ballroom Dance: Foxtrot, especially when I looked and felt like I needed a nap. Yes, I need exercise, but I also need to rest up at times. So, instead of checking out the class, I napped. {Smile}

After my nap, I got onto my computer, where I read articles and watched videos on the web. Then I wrote up Wednesday's daily update, with long breaks to catch up in reading webcomics. Next, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked on the friends who play the game too. Then I checked on Halloween badges with my high-level characters/ After a while, Chrome said hi, and we teamed up. We did some trick-or-treating together until dinner. {Smile}

After dinner I read articles on the web and webcomics too. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked on my friends who play it. I talked with Ulty, Jenny's Player, Nyxy, and somebody's team leader, the last by accident. Then I picked my third best badge collector, who's missing some Halloween badges, not directly related to trick-or-treat, but sometimes easier to get when doing that, and joined a trick-or-treat league. I got some trick-or-treating done, as well as some giant monster hunting, but not the missing badges before Dr. Faustus said hi. I left the league to join him on the mid-level characters we've been doing so much with. We did the next story arc, and got another one well started. Then we said goodnight, chatting a bit. After that, I made notes in this. Next, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, for a quick check on storage of the two characters I'd used. I ended the evening with a prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Thursday, October 2, 2025

Daily Update, October 1, 2025

On Wednesday, a while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Auntie Sally's Luau Hale to check out the Dance Fusion class. That turned out to be line dancing, and tricky because only the teacher knew the steps. When we faced the front, following the teacher was easy. When we faced left or right, it wasn't too bad, but when we faced the back, no one in view knew the dance. I suggested taking out the turns afterwards, at least until folks got the hang of it, but the teacher wants folks to remember the steps, and fears that won't let them learn. She's the teacher, so it's her choice, and at least now she has the idea if we look too lost. {smile}

I asked my relief nurse to stop by Kamana Senior Center afterwards. He confirmed it was open before I went in and signed up. They gave me a form to fill out and gave me a copy to take with me. I'm to hand it over when I pay at the class. After that, my relief nurse took me home. {Smile}

On ride, I talked about a book I'm reading, _The Unjust Steward_ by Miguel Escobar. After I got home, I ate lunch Then I made notes in this, reading articles and watching videos on the web in a break. Next, I took a nap. After that, I read more articles and watched more videos on the web while I woke up fully. Then I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked friends who play the game. Then I checked and updated my list of my second-best badge collector's badges. Kitten said hi while I was doing that. When I was done, I switched to the character they designed, and we teamed up. I picked a mission While we were doing it, Dennis said hi, and that he was going for a walk. Kitten and I finished that mission and started another. During the second mission, my relief nurse said dinner was ready early. I did finish that mission before I went to dinner. {Smile}

After dinner the head of the nursing company helped me clean myself up. Then I hopped online to learn that Dennis had gotten back one minute after I left for dinner. I dashed into City of Heroes: Homecoming and Found Dennis leading a giant monster group with Kitten in it too. I joined them, and we got a couple of Giant Monsters. Then we went to a zone where special Halloween giant monster kept spawning one after another. A second Halloween Giant Monster showed up a couple of times, too. The Halloween giant monsters kept giving the rewards, unlike normal giant monsters, who give special rewards the first time in about a day. I tried to squeeze in some writing of Tuesday's daily update in lulls. The team got smaller over time. Eventually Dennis left, and a couple of others with him. Three of us were left, and got one more Halloween giant monster, though Kitten was tired. Then the other guy left, and Kitten went quiet about the time Dr. Faustus invited me to that pair of high-level taskforces. The group filled fully for the first taskforce. We lost one before starting the second but didn't recruit more. Both taskforces went well, and I got a couple of badges. The one I'm particularly hoping for from those taskforces eluded me again. Next, I finished writing up and sharing Tuesday's daily update. After that I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and teamed up with Dr. Faustus. We finished the story arc we started the night before. Then I worked on auction house and storage in the game and finished my notes in this. After that, I worked on more auction house and storage in City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked into badges my second best and third best badge collectors need. I ended the evening with a prayer and reading Forward Day by Day. {Smile}

Wednesday, October 1, 2025

Daily Update, September 30, 2025

On Tuesday, a while after breakfast, my relief nurse took me down to Kamana Senior Center, where I had my first creative writing class of the fall session. I was surprised how many new students were there. The teacher seemed to recognize some as returning after an absence, so I guess it's not as surprising. I enjoyed the lecture and the writing practice. I decided today that I want to do more than these daily updates regularly. In class, I enjoyed talking with my partner at the end, though we agreed we had to do more of the assignment next time. We got sidetracked with the first couple of sections. {Smile}

Before and after class I made some phone calls, making sure I had enough in Dad's bank account before making out the check for the nursing company for the month. I paid them not long after we got home. I also pursued a prescription which cardiology will handle for the moment, but my regular physician really needs to take over. {Smile}

I talked with my relief nurse a bit while getting ready for my day. Then during class I had lunch. After we got back, I found the housekeeper busy at work, so we talked for a while. Then I worked on the nursing company's check, first making sure I had enough cash, then making it out and giving it to the secretary. I got done just in time to dash to the teen supergroup meeting. I think I was slightly late, but I was one of the first there. However, one member was on a cobbled together computer that didn't let them play the game, though it did let them roleplay. So, we chose to roleplay for the entire session, which lasted right through dinner, though I took a break for it. I had my character fall asleep while I was at dinner. This is her new habit. {Smile}

After dinner, I went back to the teen supergroup meeting, where they started a game of truth or dare. It's interesting that in roleplaying versions, folks seem as interested in the truth as the dare. At the end, I started writing up Monday's daily update, which I finished afterwards. Then I went back to city of Heroes: Homecoming, where Mysty said hi, and invited me to a mission for a badge. I found that my second-best badge collector didn't have it yet, so I joined her, and we ran it and got it. Then we ran a low-level, during which Dr. Faustus said hi. Two of the others wanted to do the sequel, but it was late for something so long for me. So, we broke up, promising a sequel another day. I got together with Dr. Faustus to finish a story arc we'd been doing together. We were so close to the end, we didn't go nearly as long as the taskforce would have. Then I made notes in this, breaking to read some web comics, and ending with a prayer and forward Day by Day. {Smile}
