Diary - Nov 04 to Nov 10 2023

Sat Nov 04 2023

Sleep 0230 to 0430, 1 hour nap, 2 hour nap, 1 hour nap (6 hours)

* Went with C3 and Steph to visit parents. Sleep little that night so napped in car and napped while there.
* Lunch: Arroz con Pollo (no peas and seemed to have more salt so quite good)
* Dinner: Won Ton Soup (the wraps got a bit sticky so many won tons stuck together during cooking and fell apart)

Sun Nov 05 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1100 (8-1/2 hours)

* Looking at the Vampire RPG books I downloaded from Renegade Game Studios. It watermarked most of the books and the watermark is both kind of big and not low enough so it occasionally covers content. And of course the character sheet PDF has the watermark.

Mon Nov 06 2023

Sleep 0245 to 1215 (9-1/2 hours)

  • Music Library Sync: It doesn’t want to sync a large audio file (audio book — I keep them in Music app because it has better sorting and I can edit the meta data neither of which I can really do in Books app). And if you have Library Sync turned on the Music tab in Mac/iPhone sync is disabled.
  • I tried Books app but it also doesn’t want to sync a large audio file.
  • I’ll need to look for a third party app that can play the audio book.
  • The half hour workaround: Since I’m already creating podcast feeds for my RPG sessions I created a podcast feed for the audiobooks I want to listen to. Then I download them into Podcasts app and listen to them that way.
  • I had a minute’s thought that maybe organizing my audiobooks into podcasts would work but Podcasts app doesn’t have a way or organize podcasts. You can create playlists (Stations) but that’s only one level deep.

Tue Nov 07 2023

Sleep 0930 to 1600 (6-1/2 hours)

  • San Mateo wants to pass a flood prevention per parcel fee (based on parcel type and size). Since I’m in an a condominium it’s less than average, $2.71 per month / $32.52 per year. I guess the only problem is that this is a permanent fee (that will increase up to 3% per year with inflation) although it seems like they’ve projected 30 year costs and they will need the funds. I did vote Yes.

Wed Nov 08 2023

Sleep 0130 to 1030, 30m nap. (9-1/2 hours)

  • Dinner at C3s. Ate leftover homemade build-it-yourself tacos.
  • From C3’s place walked to SMCU (20m) to deposit $200 then walked home (36m).
  • Haven’t had coffee yesterday or today. Been having headaches.

Thu Nov 09 2023

Sleep 0200 to 1000, 30m nap (8-1/2 hours)

  • Finally got a hair cut. It’s been 8 months.

Fri Nov 10 2023

Sleep 0530 to 1330 (8 hours)

  • Safeway $5 Friday deals. Chicken tenders and potato salad. Also got a few other things.
