Slept in. Late breakfast: medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, and sliced banana; water to drink. Continued tax filing preparations. Today I learned that menu bar icons on a MacBook Pro with a notch do sometimes squeeze and do sometimes disappear into the notch. The way I am dealing with this is to remove as many icons as I can (e.g., System Preferences → Dock & Menu Bar) optimizing menu bar placement for the icons I really need and relegating the ones I need less to two-or-more-clicks access via the Control Center. If you have Sidecar running, you can also look to your iPad to see what icons might be hidden under the notch on the laptop screen. With tax prep I encountered a problem with the tax service I chose to use this year that is specific to people in domestic partnerships. I don't think they are going to resolve the problem, so I will likely need to resort to a different service which might cost us a lot more money. No lunch since I woke late and had a late breakfast. Afternoon snack: blue corn tortilla chips with guacamole, water. Trash maintenance and management. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Champa Garden via Uber Eats: yum nam tok (lemongrass beef salad) for me, house special (fried catfish with eggplant) and sticky rice for Patrick, fried wrapped chicken spring rolls for both. We dined with mint juleps prepared by Patrick. Patrick had coffee ice cream for dessert. We watched various things on YouTube then started watching The Sparks Brothers on Netflix instant watch. Break. Continued watching until 43m34s. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes.
