Ran in place to Apple News Today, Fifth and Mission, and Something You Should Know podcasts. Attempted to finish watching Nova's Flying Supersonic on Kanopy but Kanopy streaming seemed to be not working both via Apple TV and via computer browser. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, sliced banana; water. Sprint standup. Mass email comparison followup all day. Lunch: I prepared for Patrick and me a pork and vegetable stir-fry with oyster sauce which we ate over instant brown rice from a pouch. Water to drink. Rode UberX to an eye doctor appointment: the glasses I received last week did not work as I expected. Miranda made some adjustments and I'll try them out. If still not good after a week, I have another appointment to further investigate. Rode UberX home. Dinner at home with Patrick: large salad featuring roasted cauliflower with various veggies, cheeses, quartered boiled egg, and more. Water and red wine to drink. Afterwards we played games on Apple TV and Apple Arcade using both of our DualSense 5 controllers simultaneously for the first time. Of the games we tried, only Fledgling Heroes let us play simultaneously and it just worked without requiring setup or configuration, so we spent the most time with that one. In other games both our controllers worked but we both controlled the same character/player so we either did different actions or took turns: Pinball Wizard, Dear Reader, Pac-Man Party, Things That Go Bump. A few hours went by quickly, and we did have fun after some frustration finding a game that let us do what we wanted. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes and tidied. Late snack: cashews, prunes, mini pretzels, water.
