Ran most of Marina Bay Singapore Virtual Run via Treadmill TV on YouTube. Breakfast at home with Patrick: two eggs scrambled, bacon, hash brown with ketchup, buttermilk drop biscuits, water for me, orange juice for Patrick. Walked and rode Muni to Apple Store Stonestown to get Patrick's MacBook Pro repaired. Craig helped us quickly and efficiently. I didn't realize until we arrived that Patrick's laptop battery had caused the laptop to bulge quite noticeably. Walked and rode Muni to the Castro to run an errand. We encountered and chatted briefly with Mike P and Sun who were walking Chester and another dog whose name I forgot. Walked to Castro Street Station. Rode Muni to lunch at Chalos (415-562-7752, 2240 Taraval St): three empanadas and an order of churros. Spinach and cheese, chicken, and mushrooms. All the food was delicious. We saw several customers who were barefoot. Surfers, maybe. $21.20. Walked home. Swept and weeded in front of the house. Repotted the orchid because with the last repotting with all lava rock I think it was getting too little water, and I didn't want to water more frequently. House chores: vacuumed the air purifier pre-filters, vacuumed elsewhere. Lunch: Patrick had a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I had noodles with egg, red onion, and parsley. Pulled the MacBook Air that was being used as our home entertainment server off the bookshelf so that Patrick could use it while his MacBook Pro was being repaired at Apple. Installed updates for home devices. Watched Cobra Kai s1:e1 on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Washed dishes. Needed to install Office but the MacBook Air was still on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and the latest version of Office needed 10.13 or later so I prepped it for an upgrade from Sierra to Catalina. I hope nothing breaks. Patrick napped in the evening before going to bed. Washed dishes. Listened to various California Sun podcast episodes. Completed the Catalina installation.
