Ran in place to various YouTube videos and part of a rewatching of Latter Days (2003) on Kanopy. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, slivered and toasted almonds, dried cherries; water. Began the procedure to erase Sam's old computer. Encountered a problem signing out of Apple ID. When I tried it would return to the iCloud tab and not sign out. It's the same problem described by antz1210 in "Unable to sign out of iCloud": "I want to sell my MacBook, and I'm trying to sign out of iCloud, but when i click the sign out button under the overview section, nothing happens and it just jumps to the iCloud tab. I don't know what's going on." I resolved the problem by noticing that since it returned me to the iCloud tab there must be some issue with something on the iCloud tab. I successfully turned off all the checkboxes on the iCloud tab except Photos which would not turn off for some reason. Opening Photos and looking in Preferences, I discovered that Sam had moved his iPhoto library and it was not being used as a system library. I changed it to use the moved library as a system library, then in Photos I was able to turn off the iCloud features, then in the iCloud tab of the Apple ID I was able to uncheck Photos and then I was able to successfully sign out of Apple ID. Lunch at home with Patrick: Lazy Susan leftovers, water. Long nap. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover gumbo with freshly made rice. Dessert: Patrick made creme brulee earlier. We shared one creme brulee and one Ace Tea chocolate chip tea dunker. Watched standup comedy on YouTube then Star Trek s1:e22 Return of the Archons on Paramount+.
