Continued attempting to resolve a squeaky orthotic. Replacing the orthotic with the original insert made the problem go away, but I need the orthotic. Inserting the orthotic on top of the original insert made the problem go away, but this adversely affects the correction provided by the orthotic. Inserting the orthotic on top of heel lifts made the problem go away, but this adversely affects the correction provided by the orthotic. I put the orthotic back in by itself and the squeak is almost entirely gone, and I don't know why. Ran in place while continuing to play Beyond a Steel Sky on Apple Arcade on Apple TV with a PlayStation 5 controller. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk and sliced banana, heated slice of citrus pound cake, water. Made a small edit for Patrick to his website. Continued attempting to resolve a squeaky orthotic. Tried rubbing the underside with a bar of paraffin, and it seemed to work but let's wait to see how long it lasts. Prepped for the replacement of another power strip. Patched holes in walls and spot-painted. Nap. Replaced a power strip. Vacuumed. Changed air purifier prefilters. Dinner at home with Patrick: Martha Stewart's quinoa with carmelized corn and scallions, side of buttermilk biscuits. Dessert for Patrick: warmed slice of citrus pound cake, dark cherry ice cream. I washed dishes. We watched half of Cruella on Disney+. Patrick went to bed. Late dessert for me: same as Patrick had.
