Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, roasted and unsalted sliced almonds, cacao nibs, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, diced half banana; water. More tax filing prep. Encountered a problem while updating iPadOS 16.2 to 16.3.1 and spent several hours resolving it. The update failed, and it wasn't clear why. I reattempted to update, and it failed again. I began an attempt to restore from backup. Patrick and I rode UberX Comfort in a Tesla Model 3 with heated rear seats to brunch at CreoLa with Phil, Drew, and Tai. Liter of pineapple mimosas for the table. Two orders of two beignets and coffee. Drew and Patrick took the coffees and we shared the beignets. Cajun jambalaya entree (blackened chicken breast andouille sausage, tasso ham, jasmine rice) for Phil. Wild mushroom scramble (Laura Chenel goat cheese, bayou potatoes, salad) for Drew. Buttermilk-brined fried chicken (leg and thigh, collard greens, cream cheese grits) for Tai. Patrick and I shared crab benedicts (two poached eggs on top garlic toast topped with crab hollandaise, with side of CreoLa salad and bayou potatoes) and a side of cream cheese grits. All food and drink were delicious. Service was good except near the end when the restaurant was full and there seemed to be only one server and one busperson and there was a very long delay even after I got up and walked to the kitchen area to request our check. Afterwards Phil, Drew, and Tai left to visit a showing of an interesting property at 2576-2578 Folsom Street (19 bedrooms in two units). Patrick and I walked Haight Street then Divisadero before stopping for hot drinks and a chocolate donut at Beluna Cafe which we both liked and which had hot water in the bathroom. We shopped briefly at Falletti Foods but bought nothing, then rode UberX Comfort home. Nap for me. Dinner at home with Patrick: same dinner as last night (but no dessert). Patrick washed dishes. We watched various YouTube videos including Moonlighting s3:e4 (The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice). Patrick went to bed. I continued iPad troubleshooting, this time getting error 75 after attempting an update on the MacBook Pro where I originally encountered the problem and after switching to a different USB-C to USB-C cable plugged into a different port, just to be extra cautious. The wipe and restore processes were successful. I lost one month of activity, but it was only new app downloads, and I was able to remember what I had downloaded and redownload them by looking at my purchase history. Continued reading from Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart. Late tonight we learned that today was the coldest February 25 in San Francisco in over 100 years, and we sure felt it when we were walking outside after brunch.
