Ran in place to Home s1:e6 India on Apple TV+. Breakfast at home: medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, blueberries; water. Investigated battery replacement for our old MacBook Air. I was almost about to order a replacement from OWC but decided against it after reading forum messages about others having bad experiences. Apple's recycle service failed me because I erased the drive completely (so that when the laptop was powered on it showed a blinking folder with question mark icon) and their process instructions directed me to return the laptop by mail (which I knew was unsafe) and then after emailing me a shipping label the instructions on that said "A device with swollen or damaged batteries should not be shipped" but did not say what else then to do. (Apple's records for my serial number also were incorrect, and the process had no way of correcting that.) Afternoon snack: cornbread, water. Dinner at home with Patrick: tacos with fixins, water. I washed dishes. Dessert: bourbon bread pudding ice cream with chocolate chips and pecans. Afterwards we watched Death of Stalin on Netflix instant watch. Patrick went to bed. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, diced banana; water.
