Pandemic Journal, Day 444

I needed to send a message to Diane this morning – my hands were busy, so I used Siri on my watch to do the job. But I was surprised when I saw its response to my request.

Yes, even though the top of the screen says “OK, I’ll send this”, the only option you can choose is “Don’t Send”! I waited a few seconds and nothing happened. I finally pressed the button on the watch and said “Send it,” and the message got sent. I don’t understand how they came up with this design – it’s confusing.

On a brighter note, we put in a persimmon tree 7 years ago. They told us it would take a few years to start fruiting – today, Diane noticed fruit on it for the first time ever! There are still many months until it’ll be ready to be harvested, but I’m hopeful.

Shabbat Shalom!

Pandemic Journal, Day 443

After my Toastmasters meeting this morning, I spent much of the rest of the day working on photos – I have finished sorting through my 2021 photos and now they’re all geotagged and titled.

I’m now doing a final round of cleanup on the photos from 2000-2009; if you ignore the photos from Jeff’s Bar Mitzvah, all of the photos are geotagged and all but a few from my trip to the Summer Palace in Beijing are titled, and I hope to finish those tomorrow – the one just below is the Long Corridor (perhaps that shouldn’t have taken a lot of research to figure out!).

I haven’t done the sorting to pick out the photos that I want to keep on my phone yet, though there are so few photos (comparatively) from those years that it may not be worth bothering.
