Diary - Jun 14 to Jun 20 2025

Sat Jun 14 2025

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

  • A bit gross but finally took a shower after two weeks (13 days). Probably could have done it a few days ago though iffy with my foot. Today I felt I could stand steady in the shower.
  • Foot still getting better. Swelling definitely less now. Still can’t walk great. Going out to dinner tonight so we’ll see if I can wear shoes ok.
  • Oops, parents coming over tomorrow. Hopefully foot swelling keeps going down.
  • An ongoing problem with Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball is, at least when I watch the VOD, sometimes for the whole broadcast the announcer/commentator voices are low compared to field sounds so it’s hard to tell what they’re saying. And I for one would rather have clear commentator voices than clear field level noises.

Sun Jun 15 2025

Sleep 0500 to 1245 (7-3/4 hours)

  • Mom and dad came to C3’s place and Steph made dinner for Father’s Day— braised chicken legs in mushroom sauce with sliced carrots. Got a lot of food from mom and dad. Will take them to SFO airport tomorrow morning.
  • Foot was not too bad today and getting better. Can put it in my shoe and walk around although a little pain.

Mon Jun 16 2025

Sleep 0045 to 0715, 1200 to 1330 (8 hours)

  • Woke up early to drive mom and dad to SFO. They're on a United Airlines flight to London.
  • Stopped at Trader Joe’s on the way home.
  • Hobbling around but doable. Once I got home my foot hurt enough I rested it for half an hour and it felt better.

Tue Jun 17 2025

Sleep 0215 to 0945, 45m nap (8-1/4 hours)

  • Woken up to help the county pool inspector get into the pool pump room which has a lock on it. Took a few minutes and a couple of phone calls to figure it out. The lock numbers need to line up to the top row not the middle row like most locks (or I suppose we could note to try a number that will cause the right number to line up in the top row).
  • Walking around in my shoe is still a little painful but less than yesterday as my foot is also less swollen.
  • Adobe has a free online utility to convert a PDF to Word doc. I used it to convert last year’s Summer Rules so I could make some edits. After importing to Apple Pages it wasn’t perfect and I ended up creating a new doc and copy/pasting the graphic and text (with lots of bullet sections). Then more editing. But a lot easier to recreate the same look and feel -- I can copy/paste from PDF itself but it’s mostly plain text (e.g. bullet lists don’t transfer).

Wed Jun 18 2025

Sleep 0600 to 1245 (6-3/4 hours)

  • Foot feels pretty good. Can walk at almost normal speed. Foot a little swollen. Toe is a bit tender if I try to put weight on it.

Thu Jun 19 2025

Sleep 0300 to 1100 (8 hours)

  • Submitted stock sale to BenefitsCal.com. Not the easiest interface and I had to settle for Other Income.

Fri Jun 20 2025

Sleep 0445 to 1130 (6-3/4 hours)

  • Foot slightly swollen but now feels 95%
