Vacation day 7 of 16 during COVID-19 shelter in place. Patrick ordered a dozen doughnuts from Royal Pin via Uber Eats and ate one and a half of them shortly after arrival. I ran in place to Slim Aarons: The High Life on Amazon Prime Video. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, blueberries; water. Sam came over for Christmas brunch: delivery from Yank Sing via Tock: steamed bbq pork bun x 2, stuffed lotus leaf x 3, shrimp dumpling x 2, pork and shrimp siu mye, spinach dumpling, savory vegetable dumpling, pork potstickers, salt and pepper pork, sauteed string beans with dried shrimp, rice noodle soup with bbq pork, steamed rice x 2. Water to drink. All the food was delicious, and the delivery via DoorDash arrived exactly 50 seconds before our requested delivery time of 11:00 a.m. The salt and pepper pork we later determined was too spicy even for Patrick, but Sam enjoyed it very much. Dessert: some of the Royal Pin doughnuts. Afterwards we opened gifts. Sam got us a wooden 4-in-a-row game (like Connect Four) and an art projector. We got Sam a new iPhone SE 2nd Generation with Anker wall charger and Spigen clear case to replace his aging iPhone 8. We set up Sam's new phone, swapping the SIM card. We chatted briefly with Dianne over the phone. Sam departed. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, raisins; water. Patrick and I attended The Dickens Fair at Home watching various videos streamed over Apple TV to our TCL television. We used Facetime with Patrick's mom and chatted with Kerry and her for a while. Dinner: Patrick had oatmeal. I had leftovers from today. Then we watched a lot of different things including Pluto's Christmas Tree on Disney+ and the most recent Christmas episodes of The Simpsons and Will and Grace. Late snack: one steamed bbq pork bun.
