Breakfast: three small deli pan-fried pork and scallion buns, hot water. Trash management. Charged the endoscope to prevent battery problem. Carpet cleaning in the office. Vacuumed the lower level. Plant care. Troubleshot a problem in which Patrick's Kindle failed to charge. I resolved it by holding the power button for 40 seconds until I saw a progress bar loading. This process disconnects and reconnects the battery. Reviewed candidate descriptions and arguments for the forthcoming election. Midmorning meal: leftover autumn orzo salad, hot water. Patrick and I marked and signed our mail-in ballots for the forthcoming midterm election. Shredded or recycled election materials. Early afternoon snack: toasted ciabatta roll with swiss cheese, water. Folded laundry that Patrick had washed earlier today. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: meatballs in fresh marinara with pasta, hot water, orange wine. We watched YouTube including most of SNL s52:e4 Inde Navarrette and Gracie Abrams. Troubleshot seeing a black screen for 2 seconds between videos playing from a playlist on YouTube running inside of Apple TV. The solution for me was to go to Apple TV settings, Video and Audio, and turn off Match Dynamic Range. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Updates and backups for devices and websites, including updates for the router. Prepared to install 27.2 on some devices.
