Ran in place to Apple News Today and Fifth and Mission podcasts then Bill Vicars on YouTube. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, and sliced banana; water. D7 work: alter pink background to indicate draft status with followup communication to stakeholders. Qualtrics work all day. Troubleshot problems with home backups: the volume could not be repaired, exit code 8, error -69845. Lunch at home: rice-corn spaghetti noodle soup with leftover shrimp broth, sliced carrots, arugula, grilled chicken from frozen; water. Responded to a logo usage review request from Katie M. Responded to an image request from Julie R. Dinner at home with Patrick: roasted veggie and refried bean giant mini tacos, water. Afterwards Patrick had cherry ice cream with chocolate chunks for dessert. Continued playing Where Cards Fall. Patrick and I played Jeopardy for iOS briefly. Then we watched Warrior s2:e10 on Cinemax then standup comedy on Just For Laughs on YouTube. Today Patrick received notice of an excellent review from IndieReader for his book If We Were Electric. Patrick went to bed. Today's backups problem was due to corruption on a source Toshiba Canvio Slim external hard drive. I troubleshot it by using Disk First Aid in Disk Utility to check the drive for errors, but it was unable to be repaired. I resolved the problem by confirming that my onsite and offsite backups for that drive were secure, then erased the source external hard drive, then restored it from onsite backup. No more problems.
