Fourth of July holiday. Pre-breakfast: a tiny bowl of yogurt with fresh blueberries, side of cherries. Troubleshot a problem with Patrick's MacBook Pro not recognizing his Bowers & Wilkins MM1 speakers; I think maybe an old Belkin USB hub has stopped functioning properly for data but it still works for charging. Breakfast at home with Patrick: scrambled eggs with green onions, hash brown with ketchup, bread and butter, bacon. Washed dishes. Patrick cleaned the tub then bathed. Resolved a problem on Patrick's computer with the notification badge for Apple Calendar appearing even when no notifications were present by logging out of iCloud and logging back in. Formatted and printed a few of Mark Bittman's doughnut recipes from The New York Times for Patrick because when he printed them the page appeared blank. At first I used browser inspection tools to show and hide the elements I wanted then printed to PDF, but we got a better result by copying all the text and pasting into Word then formatting for two columns so that the entire recipe could fit on one page as much as possible. Nap. Shower. Long nap. Quick shower. Snack: tortilla chips. Watched the June 26 Democratic debate on YouTube with Patrick and popcorn. Dinner at home with Patrick: chicken and andouille jambalaya for Patrick, leftover polenta with braciole for me, Hint water. Dessert: one medium piece each of Heavenly Taste toffee. Watched fireworks shows from 2017 and 2018 on YouTube.
