- Termite inspections. I was supposed to let them in but left my phone on "silent except for known callers".
- When I was letting them in after lunch I forgot my keys and locked myself out of my apartment. I think first time since moving here. Christopher drove here and let me in. Was cooking pasta and it was maybe 10 min overcooked. Barely edible but didn't want to waste it.

- Astra Fauna: Expeditions KS. Cool looking coffee table book-like of alien monsters with D&D 5E stats. Unfortunately the print reward doesn't include PDF (and it took careful reading other pledge levels to figure this out) so I'm not inclined to pledge.

- Even though my MBP seems to have gotten a bit slower lately (i.e. having big lag issues running two instances of DDO via CrossOver) that's unlikely to be something that AppleCare can fix (they'd probably recommend reinstalling the OS and restoring from backup or something). So with a couple days left to renew AppleCare+ I'm still going to decline.

- Dentist for dental cleaning.
- Scheduled getting a new crown mid September.

- For DDO I tried: Reboot, stick to wired mouse and keyboard (Bluetooth really lags when computer is stressed whereas USB works fine), clamshell MBP and don't use its monitor (internal monitor is 5.9M pixels vs 3.7M for 27" and 2.3M for 24" monitors, this relieves GPU RAM usage since some applications use GPU).

- Grocery shopping at Safeways. They have $5 Friday for deli/cafeteria stuff. Got some sushi and a huge extra meat subway sandwich. I think you can also get fried chicken and I've bought potato/macaroni salad tubs. $5 is about half price for most of the items.
