Slept in. Breakfast at home: half order of granola with unsweetened soy milk. Gardening: I determined yesterday with the help of some SFGate web pages that our garden has a gopher that had been eating roots of some of our herb plants. Today I moved one damaged sage plant to small pots to recover, replanted the cilantro in three small groups, then sprinkled more gopher/mole repellant then watered. Troubleshot Patrick's computer's connection to mine. It seemed to work when I opened the folder I needed it to see; CrashPlan local began synchronizing. Not touching it for now to see if CrashPlan local will back up successfully again. Cut my hair, showered. Checked on the garden. One cilantro stem had become unseated from the dirt due to the wind, so I found a metal rod to insert next to it and attach it with a twist tie. Errand at ODSY Workshop: dropped off a shoe to be stretched because it was too tight. Midafternoon snack: leftover homemade cream of mushroom soup. Rode Muni to the Castro. Dinner at Pesce Seafood Bar (2223 Market Street) with Patrick: san pellegrino, happy hour red wine, butter lettuce salad, diver scallops, wild boar pappardelle, fried artichokes. Dessert: panna gelato and tiramisu; espresso for Patrick. $106.31 before a $20 tip. Compleat Female Stage Beauty at New Conservatory Theatre Centre with Patrick. Troubleshot problems with Apple Reminders in iOS 8: after I mark a reminder as completed the white-on-red notification number decrements or disappears but then a few seconds later it returns. Force-quitting the app and remarking the item as completed resolves the problem. In iCloud settings on my phone I turned off Reminders, waited a few seconds, then turned it on again. Then I had no reminders, and the app displayed New List with a plus sign and nothing else and touching the plus sign did nothing. I cold restarted my phone and that not only resolved the problem of Reminders doing nothing but also restored my reminders. Much frustration.
