Breakfast at home with Patrick: two eggs over hard in nest of sliced red bell pepper with heirloom tomato and basil, two hash browns, two slices of prarie bread, hot water, coffee with soy milk. Housecleaning: the range, laundry. Resolved my Time Machine backup problem from yesterday by abandoning my existing backup in a roundabout way. I wasn't able to reselect the existing backup because I got to a dialog in which three buttons appeared ("choose a different disk," "erase existing backup," and "use existing backup") and it didn't matter which I selected; nothing happened. I exited (force quit) and instead specified that I wanted a new, unencrypted backup. Once that was successful, before the new, unencrypted backup began, I again removed the new, unencrypted backup and specified I wanted a new, encrypted backup, and then it began again with what I wanted. Recharge work for Phil and Drew: September newsletter. Edited photos from my Seattle and Vancouver BC trip. Cut my hair, showered. Housecleaning. Cocktails with Patrick: midori with 7-Up over ice. Dinner at home with Patrick: gluten-free penne with grilled red bell pepper in marinara sauce, hot water, Elyssia grand cuvee brut. Finished Recharge Spa newsletter work and scheduled it. Disaster planning. Did some content inventory work.
