Diary - Jul 23 to Jul 29 2022

Sat Jul 23 2022

Sleep 0430 to 1300. (8-1/2 hours)

  • So hard getting to sleep last night because my foot hurt whenever I laid it down. Took 2 Advil and that helped.
  • Broke my Beats Studio Wireless Pro again. Both times I've broken a spring on one of the limbs and it keeps the earphone snug on your head. Now my left earphone hangs a bit loose letting more noise in. I guess in the end these are light (due to being plastic) but not built sturdy enough to last (whereas the wired version is metal but grips my head like a vice).
  • Checked AirPods Max and it uses metal stalks so probably sturdier. Will upgrade next time I see it on sale.

Sun Jul 24 2022

Sleep 0630 to 1430. (8 hours)

  • I finally got it that Podcasts with both iCloud sync and syncing over USB is redundant and kind of messes up my Podcasts in iPhone with it losing track of which episodes I had just listened to.
  • iOS 15.6 update has "TV app adds the option to restart a live sports game already in progress, and pause, rewind or fast-forward". Previously I had to wait for the baseball game to be finished and then another half hour before the replay was available and rewinding a live broadcast is nice when I miss something. Next thing I hope is that when I switch devices and go back to the replay it continues from where I left off instead of starting at the beginning (with no fast forward/scanning option on iPad!).
  • Speaking of which, using my Mac to update a device mostly locks the Mac from start of download to when update is done (mostly locks means text entry doesn't work though keyboard can still be used to say navigate Preview pages). Also Finder is stuck in spinning cursor until I relaunch it.
  • Foot still hurts and I've been hobbling about Saturday and today. Wouldn't trust it taking a shower and I haven't a shower in over a week so this is not great.

Mon Jul 25 2022

Sleep 0500 to 0900. 1 hour nap. (5 hours)

  • Lots of early morning to mid-afternoon drilling. Tough to get anything done especially with my bum foot.
  • The Apple Store Time Machine. FPS-type simulation of four Apple Stores (original, mini, Fifth Avenue, Infinite Loop) that you can walk around in and admire. Just the public room. Even this simple thing quickly triggered my motion sickness.

Tue Jul 26 2022

Sleep 0400 to 0900. 1400 to 1700. (8 hours)

  • Steph wants me to cat sit Horatio this weekend. She and C3 are going to Lake Tahoe.

Wed Jul 27 2022

Sleep 2345 to 0630. (6-3/4 hours)

  • Woke up and foot only hurt a little. Could stand up and hobble immediately. Before had to sit up and wait a few minutes for blood to get to my foot.

Thu Jul 28 2022

Sleep 0100 to 0300, 0630 to 1230. (8 hours)

  • Steph was kind enough to bring over orange juice, milk and food.
  • Plan was to bring Horatio to my place but she is worried he'll eat something and die (my place is a mess). So I'll go to her place.

Fri Jul 29 2022

Sleep 0200 to 0600. 1 hour nap. 1 hour nap. (6 hours)

  • Staying at my sister's place cat sitting.
