Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, blueberries; hot water. Worked from home. Siteimprove linkchecking and policy work. Again troubleshot the Apple feature called Sidecar failing after not bothering for a long time because nothing seemed to fix it. Now Sidecar works for a only few seconds then freezes, so now the freezing occurs faster than I have ever seen before. Previously it would work for at least a few minutes. While testing, I happened to notice it freezing exactly when a break in my Time Out break timer application for macOS began a break. I have quit the app and now Sidecar seems to be working fine. I'll try this a whole day and see if it's the solution. Lunch at home, partly with Patrick: leftovers from Castro Indian, water. Continued replaying The Room on my iPad Air. Manually resolved duplicate subsets of OneDrive folders after discovering I had accumulated over the years four folders called Projects, each with slightly different contents. Turning off Time Out is not the complete solution. Sidecar still freezes without it, but with Time Out on it seems it happened within seconds. Edited an event posting for Carolina L. Dinner at home with Patrick: minestrone with warm ciabatta, water. Dessert: black cherry chip ice cream. Mine included a few dried cherries on top. Remediated PDF accessibility for a document for Patrick's website. Resolved a problem with Spotlight indexing on Patrick's computer—reset. We finished watching Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact on Netflix then we watched The Simpsons s33:e17 on Disney+. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Today was the first time I used my Volt Heat Lava Boots and the batteries ran out. I had used it on higher settings than I have in the past but then turned them to the lowest setting. Late snack: one Gardein chick'n slider from frozen. I prepared it with the microwave, and it was fast, simple, and tastier than I had expected. Water to drink. Installed app updates on our laptops. Confirmed Spotlight indexing is fixed for Patrick's laptop.
