Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, toasted slivered almonds, and blackberries; water. Rode Muni to UCSF Mission Bay. New this time: the operator was ahead of schedule and stopped under the freeway and above the train tracks near 22nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue for 10 minutes. While riding I began restarting to read The Jungle Around Us by Anne Raeff. The first story The Doctors' Daughter has a powerful yet understated ending that made me feel like I was punched hard in the chest. Got my second COVID-19 booster (Moderna) at a UCSF tent near 16th and Owens a few days before FDA approval due to my working for UCSF where everyone is considered an essential worker. Began organizing and deleting things in 33T. Sorted two years of accumulated mail for our box number. Created and printed signs for nearby rooms for Alecia. Lunch at The Ramp with Levi: shrimp po boy with fries for Levi, fish and chips but with sweet potato fries instead of regular fries for me. Draft beer for Levi, a paloma for me. Due to an end-of-tap issue he got more than a pint at no extra charge but didn't finish all of it. Afterwards we briefly visited Crane Cove Park then returned to work. Began attempting to find out how to redirect misdelivered mail. Watched the UCSF town hall on Zoom. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: variation of Martha Stewart's shrimp chow mein and on low-gly noodles. Afterwards we finished watching The Matrix: Resurrections on Netflix DVD. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Water with lime juice.
