Toe procedure recovery. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced nectarine; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Weeded, organized, and sorted credentials given to me by Eric. Migrated some credentials from what I used before UCSF provided a password manager to the UCSF-provided password manager. Errand: returned an item. Lunch at Street Taco which opened a new restaurant at 83 9th Street: caesar salad with carne asada, chips and pico de gallo, pina agua fresca. More passwords cleanup. Walked and rode Muni home. Patrick and I rode Muni to dinner with some of The Syndicate at Brothers to celebrate a birthday. Along the way he shared some embargoed news with me. Also along the way we encountered Galen and Brendon on the bus. In attendance: Galen B, Brendon L, Buck F, Scott T, Jose C, John C, John T, Tim C, Kam S, Dan B, Andy M, Patrick, and me. Afterwards Patrick returned home and most of the rest of us went to Kam and Dan's place where the celebration continued. At first I didn't remember visiting their place before, but while I was there I started remembering different things like the kitchen island, and later my journal helped me remember that the last time I was here was on February 8, 2020, for their housewarming party. I chatted a lot with Brendon and Andy about learning Spanish. The television briefly played clips from The Boyfriend (Netflix) among other things. An assortment of wines were opened and enjoyed. We enjoyed a tiramisu mousse cake from Schubert's: chocolate sponge cake with a lighter version of mascarpone filling flavored with coffee liqueur, iced in whipped cream and garnished with white and dark chocolate shavings and ladyfingers. Rode Lyft home after an attempted trip with Uber failed because the driver started the trip before I was picked up and ended the trip a few minutes later. I got a refund in the Uber app within a few minutes without needing to talk or chat with a human.
