Slept in. Patrick made pancakes for us for breakfast, we also had yogurt. I did lots of home improvement stuff today. Shopped online for solutions for kitchen counter space that we need but couldn't find anything right. What I'd like is a stainless steel prep table no deeper than 16 inches. The length could be anywhere from 20 to 60 inches. Must be exactly 36 inches tall. Could have a butcher block or granite top instead of stainless steel. Below could be shelving or drawers—I'm not too picky on that part. But no one makes a table this thin. The other piece we could use is a triangular table or cabinet to fit in a corner, 43 by 43 inches on the square sides. Also 36 inches tall. Routed some speaker wire with insulated staples. Did some vacuuming. Put in a bracket support for a shelf in the spare bedroom closet. Prepared liquid paraffin lamps for refueling. Reorganized the spare bedroom closet. Labeled some boxes. Got rid of some things I don't need. Lunch at home with Patrick: leftover fried chicken, "salsa" salad. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork dumplings dinner. Did some baking in the evening. Worked on Corinna's website: got the header mostly styled.
