Ran in place to NPR Up First podcast then while finishing watching American Masters s35:e2 (Flannery) which Patrick and I had started on March 22. Patrick might not finish watching it. His reason is that he had read part of Brad Gooch's biography of O'Connor which seemed to essentially be a mirror to the documentary. Medium bowl of oatmeal with soymilk (temporarily out of milk), cinnamon, and sliced banana; water. Played one episode of Framed for iOS on my iPad Air. Shower. Scanned my COVID-19 vaccination card for safekeeping. Nap. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, and sliced banana; water. Continued preparing tax filings. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover mapo tofu with steamed white rice for Patrick, crunchy cabbage salad from yesterday for me. The cabbage salad is interesting because it seems to come with some vinaigrette as well as a thick peanut sauce. Peanut sauce but also (candied?) walnuts. Carrots sliced into very thin (mandolined?) discs—not a usual Chinese or Chinese-American shape. I washed dishes. Afterwards we watched Legion s2:e9 on Hulu Basic Plan then Black Mirror s3:e1 Nosedive on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. Late small meal: leftover steamed white rice with leftover beef and broccoli, water. Chatted briefly with Joel on iMessage. Nearly completed two federal tax returns today—not bad.
