I dreamt last night something about an elevator and—within it—a button labelled "54b" which was, oddly enough, the only button inside the elevator. I also dreamt that Patrick and I were in a room with no windows and we were disturbed by a sound of water spilling over—not unlike when our washer has had problems in the past in real life. We turned to look to a corner of the room and a water heater was there, obviously spilling water from the top somehow. It had stains of some sort indicating that water overspills with it a lot. The water ran toward a drain in the floor, but something about the floor made the water avoid the drain. Somewhere else a faucet came on by itself and although it was pointed toward the drain in the floor the water pressure was too high and so it missed the drain as well. After waking from this dream, I had to pee. Hash browns, eggs, and fake sausage for breakfast. Telecommute day. Worked on the supp app PDF. Lunch: nachos meal: tortilla chips, vegetarian black refried beans, diced red onion, shredded Tillamook cheddar, a little bit of corn from the freezer, diced tomato. After work, I got home and as per our custom Patrick removed my boots for me but the laces got stuck as they sometimes do, and he gave up trying to get them free. I gave him a simple instruction, which he performed, and the laces instantly and effortlessly came free. He knows I like when that happens. I did some work on Lodestar. Dinner at home with Patrick: apricot chicken, baked potato, French green beans. I fell asleep almost immediately afterwards.
