Breakfast at home: organic oatmeal with diced, organic nectarine; cinnamon; "mostly marin" wildflower honey; organic soy milk. First look at my toenail surgery, and there was blood everywhere after I removed the dressing. Pain! Ugh! Applied antibiotic ointment and a new dressing, managed to fit on a sock and fit my foot in my shoe. Rode Muni to work. Uninstalled Mozy Pro. I've been receiving UPS error messages lately, tried troubleshooting this for a few minutes but didn't get anywhere. Lots of calendar management. Management activities. Uninstalled and reinstalled Java for Lucia. Reposted the Pharm Sci fall draft schedule for Lucia. Management activities. Showed Lucia and Lisa how to add DK's signature to Word and PDF documents. Management activities. Lunch from Carmelina's: tostada, no meat, no fountain drink, water from my Klean Kanteen. Listserv management for Lucia. Updated the grads licensure checklist and link for Cindy. Management activities. Supp app project work in Drupal: sent an update to the team. Prepared an analysis of the new consent form provided by University Relations in April for discussion at a future web team meeting. Worked late. Muni bus schedule didn't work for my dinner schedule, so I ate at Nan King Road Bistro: shanghai noodles (no extra protein), jasmine green tea, water, $11 after about $3 of tip. Rode Muni home. Recharge Spa redesign work: some styling for small tablet portrait (600x800). Responsive layouts now almost complete. Must still restructure the css so that it works at all sizes, not just thresholds. After that, some page-level examinations and styling fixes, then finally the homepage content with responsive layout adjustments. Responsive design is hard work, but the result should be worth it, and I'm now better prepared for my next responsive layout job. I learned that it's probably better to comp everything first before you start coding. It's difficult for me to work that way because I prefer seeing the interactivity while I build. But knowing and seeing what you're going to build is ultimately better for responsive layout design because it is better to start with the smallest layout and work your way up instead of the way I did it this time starting large and working my way smaller. Small-to-large should make for more efficient stylesheets, too. Did some purging of old, unneeded documents from the document safe.
