Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, unroasted unsalted pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Worked from home. Siteimprove linkchecking and policy work. Built the commencement program for the web, then implemented some styling adjustments to improve how it and other collapsed tables look on mobile. Lunch at home with Patrick: sandwich delivery from Lucca via DoorDash: meatball with provolone for Patrick, turkey and bacon with swiss on french roll for me. We shared potato salad. All food and drink were delicious. The potato salad is notably plain, with diced celery and onion and something red and without diced boiled egg and without black pepper. Patrick also had some Dr. Pepper. He also ordered a piece of baklava which we saved for later. CPCS Candy or Medicine work the rest of the afternoon. Weeded Twitter followings. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from New Eritrea via DoorDash: vegetarian combo, kilwa (beef), extra injera, extra teff injera, sambusa (ground beef). All food and drink were delicious. We probably did not need so many extra injeras. I made black cherry whiskey sours. We watched Ted Lasso s3:e9 on Apple TV+. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Continued working on CPCS since I didn't want to lose my train of thought. Late dessert: some Dr. Pepper. Created automation shortcuts on my iPhone 12 mini to warn me when my battery falls to 45% and to turn on low power mode when my battery falls to 35%. Continued copyediting Patrick's short story collection called Fancy Gumbo. Today I tested how long Volt Heat Lava Boots last on the lowest heat setting. Their claim is 14+ hours, and it met this and exceeded 15 hours. I finally noticed one battery was dead at 17 hours, and the other died not long after that. Pretty amazing! Late snack: potato salad, water.
