Performed stretches good for the back. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted sliced almonds, blueberries; hot water. Worked from home. Siteimprove linkchecking and policy work. Troubleshot problems with my Time Machine external hard drive for my work laptop. Storage system verify or repair failed -69716 and Storage system verify or repair failed -69845. Disk First Aid on volume then container then disk failed to resolve the problem, so I erased the disk, choosing APFS and GUID Partition Map. DFA again in the same order found no problems, so I set up Time Machine again, choosing to encrypt the disk. Resolved a content metadata ownership request for Igor M and Conan M. Lots of calendar management. In the early afternoon we learned that Patrick's aunt Maryann passed. May she rest in peace. Troubleshot download and search problems in Box. Began an effort to rename the AD account for the Dean's Office shared calendar. Helped Jenna J with access to Siteimprove. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Yuanbao Jiaozi via DoorDash: napa cabbage and pork dumplings, shiitake mushroom and chicken dumplings, shrimp and three delicacies dumplings. Each order included 14 dumplings, one tiny soy-based sauce, and one tiny spicy sauce. All items were delicious. The dumplings were nicely al dente and did not break easily. The dumplings were not very artfully constructed, but that didn't bother us. We learned that three deliciacies means san xian or "three fresh" to mean any three fresh ingredients that can vary. These seemed to contain garlic chives and egg (scrambled, fried, then chopped into small pieces). I washed dishes. We watched The Afterparty s1:e3 on Apple TV+. Patrick went to bed. Recharge Medical web work: prepped a new page for a commercial driver exam. Recently I received an unsolicited email from a company called Butterfly Twists, so today I removed the forwarded address and created a new one for the company—<cough> Orlebar <cough> Brown—that gave away or leaked my address. Late small meal: plain nonfat Greek yogurt with Mexican vanilla extract, dried cherries, sliced almonds. Water to drink.
