Breakfast at home by myself: I prepared one hash brown, one egg scrambled with Spice Ace fines herbes, one half of breakfast sausage, one english muffin with butter, a pint of hot water. Cleaned and tidied in the apartment and the garage in preparation for guests. Patrick arrived home from martial arts practice and continued constructing a four-layer cake that he began yesterday with me helping. I wrapped two gifts. Patrick took a nap. Cut my hair, showered. Nap. Birthday party for Mom Ryan with Patrick, Mom Ryan, Kerry, cousin Tony, friend Mary, Sam. Patrick served tortilla chips and mango salsa, toast points with tapenade, instant coffee with cream, stevia ginger beer, beer, shots of bailey's, green tea with mint, ice water. The cake was four layers, two of chocolate, two of vanilla yellow. The frosting was vanilla white on top and between the layers and chocolate on the sides. The dining table was left in its usual position, and we added one leaf and a few chairs. We talked a lot about things that got us in trouble in the past. They left around 5:00 pm. I cleaned, tidied, and rested a bit. Mended two items: the crotch of one pair of Patrick's Uniqlo underwear and the right pocket of my tan Adams Mountain Abercrombie Kids jacket. Dinner at home with Patrick: Amy's chili mac frozen meal. It didn't look like chili mac to me—too saucy—but it tasted fine. On the side: leftover cornbread with butter. Afterwards we tried to watch season 1 episode 6 of The Other Two. From the search feature on our Roku television it seemed as though we could watch for free but when we got to the episode it required us to specify a television provider and we don't have one, so instead we watched some clips of the show on YouTube. More cleaning.
