Ran in place to Glee s1:e2 on Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, blackberries; water. Vacation day 2 of 2. Doughnuts with Patrick from Royal Pin via Uber Eats: chocolate bavarian cream, maple coconut, glazed yeast, coffee with milk. Watched part of today's Apple event announcing new laptops and a new Mac Mini. I'm generally happy with the announcements but disappointed that a smaller, lighter MacBook Air was not part of the lineup. A Microsoft Surface Pro with Type Cover, for example, still weighs about half a pound less than the newly announced MacBook Air. Cut my hair, showered. Late lunch at home with Patrick: delivery from Saiwaii Ramen via Uber Eats: tonkatsu ramen with egg and karaage. In midafternoon Tina ordered food delivery for us, a pre-dinner appetizer of sorts: Dumpling Park via DoorDash: garlic string beans, salt and pepper chicken wings, shanghai soup dumplings. Helped Patrick wrap a copy of his book to send to Jewelle. Spent a couple of hours attempting to create custom ringtones and get them onto my iPhone. I tried nine ringtones but only three of them worked. Gave up. Chatted briefly with Joel on iMessage. Part of what I told him: "After the pandemic is over, young people who never went thru it will not understand how joyous it was to simply see something other than home and nearby parks." In the evening Tina ordered food delivery for us: China Live via DoorDash: lo mein, crab spring rolls with two dipping sauces, ginger-lemon kombucha, and dessert: Humphrey Slocombe matchadoodle ice cream. All so delicious! We watched Ted Lasso s1:e2 on Apple TV+. Patrick went to bed. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, blackberries; water. I washed dishes. Late snack: half of a Royal Pin donut: vanilla cake with white frosting and fall sprinkles.
