Today I did not have to report for jury duty. Today marks six months of my position at UCSF being eliminated. I ran errands all day. Walked and rode Muni to get the latest COVID vaccine. Walked and rode Muni to Recharge Medical to drop off safe space signs and chat with Drew about current work. Walked to Bunn Mi for lunch: lemongrass steak saigon noodles with imperial roll, viet iced coffee. While there I encountered Jess from The Academy, and we chatted very briefly. It was so nice to see her in a different context. While there I also happened to open the DoorDash app and was credited $10 for taking a photo of my food. I didn't even have to write a review. Walked and rode Muni to a credit union to get a claim form notarized. Walked and rode Muni to a store where I purchased a kitchen faucet from Jennifer who was very helpful. Walked and rode Muni to Ikea. I had intended to get a paper catalog, but I learned that they stopped making them a while ago. The first person I asked said I could double check on B1, a lower floor. A second person on B1 I asked laughed then cried then said to check in the kitchen department where they have a few but very small catalogs. I looked in kitchen but the catalogs were all about installing new kitchen cabinetry. I left with no catalogs. Walked and rode Muni home. Patrick has returned from his Los Angeles trip. We chatted about his trip and Felice's memorial, which we are both glad he attended. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Thai House Express via DoorDash: fresh rolls with shrimp, tofu with chinese broccoli, chicken khao soy (deep-fried egg noodles with rice noodles with curry sauce), sticky rice. All food was delicious. We watched The Sandman s2:e8 on Netflix then half of the 77th Emmy Awards on Paramount+ (after I had watched it last night but Patrick did not yet). Patrick went to bed. I did some catching up on email.
