Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, and blueberries; water to drink. Did some cleaning in the bathroom before showering. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. First day back to Parnassus in three months. Cleaned desk surfaces. Troubleshot problems sending an Outlook event to listservs. Swapped offices with Bo because I forgot my charger. Demoed for our team a branded Photoshop template for images in Facebook posts. Lunch to go from Panda Express: brown rice bowl with orange chicken, water from my water bottle. Ate in the office. My fortune: Love first—then everything will follow. E&I event communication troubleshooting and workaround. Focus group prep meeting with Anne and Eric. Encountered in the office today: Tom K, Bo O, Karen G, Robin C. Started chkdsk on an external hard drive that needed checking. Dinner at Fiorella with Patrick: cocktails: speziata for Patrick, te nero for me. We ate four small dishes: vegetable fritti, yellowtail crudo, citrus and olive salad, minestrone soup. Water to drink. Patrick also had a glass of vino blanco fiorella (house wine). No dessert this time. All the dishes were well-executed. We especially liked the unbelievably light and delicate fritti, the flavor profile of the citrus and olive salad, and the vibrantly flavored crudo. $133.78 after a $22 tip for Jeremiah H who was an excellent server. All staff were pleasant and polite. We sat upstairs adjacent to the small room way in the back which we were told was being changed into a space for private rental. Doors were added, and curtains added in front of that. We enjoyed our visit and will likely return soon. Today Patrick made chocolate cacao nib crunch ice cream. He had a small bowl, and I had just a bite. We watched standup comedy on YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I joined him and we cuddled a while. Gift research.
