Oat bran. Reread The Pearl by Yukio Mishima. Napped until 11:00 AM. Ramen with spinach. Cut my hair. Cleaned the bathroom. Washed dishes, cleaned in the kitchen. Cleaned the Brita pitcher and changed the filter. Vacuumed and dusted. Held funerals for house plants which had died. Archived postcards. Patrick got home from working at Jumpin Java and buying groceries at Golden Produce. We had leftover pizza for a late afternoon snack. I began reading The O. Henry Prize Stories 2003. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover pizza slices; spinach linguine with shrimp in a garlic, dill, and lemon sauce. Watched I Love Lucy and The Simpsons. More plumbing problems today: the water overflowed in our kitchen when we did laundry, then again when Adam did laundry. Wrote some new code for the journal.
