Breakfast at home with Patrick: he had grape nuts, I had fiber one. Chatted with Tina on the phone. Worked up some graphics for Joel's blog. Grocery shopping at Safeway. Nap. Shopping at Stonestown Mall. I had wanted to go to the Mermayd Parade today, but the shopping was more important. Maybe next year. In our candy drawer after shopping, I found a pair of cookies that Joel had baked some time ago. I thought, "These can't still be good," but they were! Crunchy, oatmeal raisin, but still delicious, and so good. Dinner: canned soup: beef burgundy with noodles. Archived receipts, organized stuff, did monthly backups, folded laundry which Patrick did earlier in the day. Patrick visited with Aaron this evening at his place. Heather recently let me borrow her Brookstone fabric shaver (aka fuzzbuster, sweater deballer, pill remover). It worked so surprisingly well that I bought one of my own—it's only $20. It feels just like ironing when I shave fabrics, and it turned an embarrasingly pilled track jacket into like new condition. Recently I tried to find a web page describing the correct usage of the word everyday versus the words "every day" but could not find it easily, so I'm putting it here. "Everyday" may only be used as an adjective to describe something ordinary. "Every day" means daily. I never make this mistake, but it annoys me when others do. Especially in print.
