I made one final editing pass in Lightroom over my photos from last year’s trip to Costa Rica and Panama, making sure they were the ones I wanted to keep and that they all had titles. Then I went to Apple Photos and deleted all the photos from the trip there.

After that, I exported the edited photos from Lightroom to my disk as TIFFs, then used the Mac’s sips command to convert them to HEICs to put back into Apple Photos:

for file in *.tif 
  do sips "$file" -s format heic --out "${file%%.tif}".heic
done

Using TIFFs as the intermediate format instead of JPEGs is probably overkill, but with a fast processor, it doesn’t matter and makes me feel better.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue the daily journal after we got our second vaccinations and after the one-year mark, but I guess I am, at least until we reach “fully immunized” status or we spend a night away from home – at that point, I think the name would really need to change.

We planned a very easy day today to allow for side effects from the second vaccination – so easy, we didn’t even plan to cook. But we were lucky and had very few side effects. We were both very tired last night and went to sleep early; Diane’s arm is still sore, and she was tired until lunchtime; my arm was a little sore and I had a bit of a headache, but a couple of ibuprofen tablets took care of that.

We felt good enough to go out for our usual walks this afternoon, and we even cooked one of our quarantine favorites, Blistered Broccoli Pasta with Walnuts, Pecorino, and Mint for dinner.

So far, so good.
