Ongoing, nightly curfews ended today in San Francisco at 5:00 am. Ran in place to part of Olympic National Park 4K Virtual Hike via The Flying Dutchman then part of ⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking New Orleans : City Park in the Rain (Museum of Art, Cafe Du Monde, Storyland) via ActionKid on YouTube. Breakfast at home with Patrick: yogurt for Patrick, oatmeal for me, with milk, cinnamon, diced banana, diced nectarine; water. Worked from home. Siteimprove policy work. Sprint standup. Followup for a Mailchimp campaign notifying alums of a forthcoming survey. Mailchimp template work. Created a diptych (he calls it a split) of Joe and Sharon for Grant. Lunch at home: I prepared for myself udon noodle soup in roasted chicken broth with baby bok choy, chinese five spice, garlic, minced parsley, carrot coins. Finalized and delivered the alumni survey campaign. Completed posting an event for Carolina and Gina at QBI. More Mailchimp template work. Helped Joel unhook Liaison EMP from our website and build a duplicate form in Drupal. Dinner at home with Patrick: square cheddar and mushroom beef burgers on dutch crunch rolls with French fries and marinated yellow beet salad, water. Susie stopped by briefly to drop off a gift: a bottle of wine and a bottle of Spanish champagne. Dessert: lemon-pistachio bundt cake, previously frozen. Water for me. Patrick also had a chewy chocolate cookie, previously frozen, dipped in milk. Patrick went to bed. I continued playing The Witness on my iPad Pro then later washed dishes. Upgraded iOS from 13.4.1 to 13.5.1 on my iPhone X and iPad Pro. Installed a Catalina update on the entertainment server. Considered and then decided against installing macOS Catalina on my work MacBook Pro for now. Two main issues: some Adobe components are still 32-bit and I'm uncertain if that will cause problems, reports of mail messages being deleted or corrupted after upgrading to Catalina. Set up a local dev environment for Drupal 8 after attempting 9. Late snack: seaweed.
