Ran in place while watching YouTube videos. Lately I haven't been remembering to include in the journal this running in place when I do it. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Worked from home. Troubleshot problems with Time Machine backup, which said it could not back up because it wasn't connected to power but it was. Made updates and minor changes to the list of social media accounts for the school. QBI orgchart work for Jacqueline F. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work all day. Academic Affairs content build followup and work. People pages and HR report work, including figuring out how to convert text dates to date dates in Excel that refuse to format as date: cut, paste into text editor, then cut and paste back. I think. A while back I rebuilt my Spotlight index using a rather unusual method, and it eventually did seem to fix things completely, but it took a lot longer than I had expected—perhaps a week or so. Troubleshot problems with Time Machine backup: stuck on "preparing backup" then stuck on "checking the object map" in Disk First Aid. Small web edit to School Retreat for Sahru. Helped resolve a Powerpoint slide issue for Katherine for Joanne. Met with Sabrina V over Zoom to discuss ordering a new laptop. Doctor appointment by telephone. Patrick and I rode UberX to and from Sorrel for a celebration dinner—another perfect meal. For our second visit we had the five-course instead of the nine-course tasting menu. We both included the $50 wine pairing. We can't remember all the details, but all the food was delicious, every one of the wine pairings delighted us, and service by Paige N and company was perfection.
