Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself a grilled cheese sandwich with chives and tomato soup with dill, hot water. Troubleshot problems with permissions on an external hard drive. Troubleshot problems with the thermostat and heating system, failed. Errand: drug store. I learned today that you now have to ask for a basket at the register; you cannot pick one up from a stack at the entrance or anywhere throughout the store. Two of the items I wanted were behind locked panels, so it took extra time to press a button, wait for a staffperson to unlock it and hand the item to me. Lunch at home with Patrick: I prepared dumplings from frozen from Asian American Food Company with soy-ginger dipping sauce. Hot water to drink. I washed and dried and folded a load of laundry. I troubleshot problems with the network and with connecting an inkjet printer to the network. The network problem seemed to have been resolved by enabling the roaming assistant feature, which I had disabled while testing configurations a few days ago. The inkjet printer would not connect via wifi no matter what I tried. It kept saying the password was incorrect, but it was not incorrect. I worked around the problem by connecting it with an ethernet cable. Archived documents. The right-angle ethernet adapter I had been waiting for arrived, and after installing it that enabled me to move one of the Ikea Tunhem cabinets into place. Patrick and I wrote a testimonial for our real estate agent Brandea and posted it to Google and Yelp. I used yellow painters tape to relabel some ethernet and coax cables in the very disorganized network panel so that they would make more sense. Dinner from Hinodeya via Doordash: we both got house ramen. Patrick's had no menma and add spicy 1 and inari. Mine had no chilli string and spice level 0. We each had a yuzu soda. Afterwards I spent a long time troubleshooting a problem with HomePod failing to respond correctly to the Good Night automation (or is it shortcut?). It took about 40 minutes to resolve. We watched Daredevil: Born Again s1:e6 on Disney+.
