Diary - Oct 15 to Oct 21 2022

Sat Oct 15 2022

Sleep 0100 to 0600. (5 hours)

  • First year $10 off is over so Sonic bill is up to $63. $50 for Internet and $13 for the phone service you can't unbundle.
  • Dim sum with extended family. We're all here for Tía Susana's 92nd birthday party tomorrow.

Sun Oct 16 2022

Sleep 2100 to 0200. 1600 to 1730. (6-1/2 hours)

  • This morning my right foot (Achilles heel area) feels 90% It's been hurting since last week night of Wed Oct 06. I gotta stop running around exercising in socks on hardwood floors.
  • From my parents place been using VPN back to home (macMini running macOS server) and speed is good enough things work fine. Back in the day my parents had kind of slow broadband Internet.

Mon Oct 17 2022

Sleep 0145 to 0615. (4-1/2 hours)

  • Ordered Mint Mobile 3-month, 4 GB plan. $51.35 including taxes and fees

Tue Oct 18 2022

Sleep 2300 to 0230. 1215 to 1630. (7-3/4 hours)


Wed Oct 19 2022
Sleep 0430 to 0830. (4 hours)

  • Finished filling in my elections ballot.

Thu Oct 20 2022

Sleep 2115 to 0200. 1 hour nap, 90 min nap. (6-1/4 hours)

  • According to Flipsy my MBP 15" 2015 is maybe $400 if I sold it myself. But the battery is going bad and the trackpad doesn't hardware click (you can turn on tap to click as a workaround). So I'd say more like $200.
  • Reason for this is that I'm returning my "work" laptop because I did specify it was not a personal laptop so in the internal system my company thinks it owns it. This is fine since it's a very old laptop.
  • Received letter from Optum saying my HSA savings account will remain active though I won't be able to contribute if I don't have an HSA health plan (I'm assuming with COBRA where I had an HSA plan I'll be able to contribute). There is a small maintenance fee if I don't have a minimum $5k cash, which I do. There is a $2.50 per transaction fee which I guess my company was covering before.

Fri Oct 21 2022

Sleep 2330 to 0500. 1830 to 1945. (6-3/4 hours)

  • Dropped off FedEx package with laptop. Remembered to remove MBP 2015 from iCloud. Also changed password and set it in hint just in case.
