Slept in. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, blueberries; water. Walked in place while rereading "Between Here and There" from If We Were Electric, preparation for reading then editing Patrick's new short story "Small Spaces." Lunch: I prepared for myself from leftovers polenta and black beans with fire-roasted tomatoes over bed of arugula topped with a bit of sour cream. Water to drink. Continued walking and finished reading. Rested. Washed dishes. Midafternoon meal: I prepared for myself tonkatsu-flavored ramen with sliced carrot and two kinds of cabbage; water. I began editing "Small Spaces." Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti with basil and arugula in marinara, water. Games night with Patrick: we played a game of Jenga, the first time with a new set. We finished watching The Italian Job on Paramount+. Patrick went to bed. I finished editing "Small Spaces."
