Staycation day 4 of 9. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, roasted pecans, diced half banana, and blueberries; water. Patrick and I rode Muni to 9th and Judah then walked into Golden Gate Park. We visited the Japanese Tea Garden which (Patrick told me recently) is free for San Francisco residents, also stopping for light refreshment: hohicha for Patrick, genmaicha for me. We shared a dorayaki (red bean pancake). We visited the de Young Museum which was free today (first Tuesdays) for the permanent collections. We returned to 9th and Irving and stopped for lunch at Pacific Catch, which recently reopened July 18 following a remodel which pleased us. Excellent service and food. Patrick had two tacos (traditional baja and guajillo shrimp) with salad. I had one taco a la carte (traditional baja sub jalapeno tartar for lime crema). My taco unexpectedly and delightfully came with a few tortilla chips. Thai iced tea for Patrick. Nojito for me. We walked and rode Muni home. Patrick napped. I amputagged yesterday's clothing purchases and put them in the laundry. I continued considering how to rework our entertainment setup so that we no longer need a laptop in the living room so that we can give Sam a two-year-old laptop to replace the five-year-old one we recently gave him since he can't afford one on his own. We watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel s4:e8 (season finale) on Amazon Prime Video. I washed dishes during a break in watching. Patrick went to bed. Continued technology research until late.
