Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, blueberries; hot water. Installed updates for computers and other devices, including macOS Monterey 12.6.5 to 12.6.6 on my work laptop and iPadOS 16.5 on my iPad Air. After installing macOS Monterey 12.6.6 and restarting Hidden Bar failed to start automatically at login. In its settings I turned the switch for that off and on and off and on and then restarted and then it seemed to start automatically at login. Continued copyediting Patrick's short story collection called Fancy Gumbo. Lunch: I prepared for myself a hot dish using leftover plain, cooked orzo with diced celery, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and caesar vinaigrette dressing. Water to drink. Cherries. Updates and backups for home websites. Reinserted the bathroom sink stopper after it had fallen out during the clog clearing of May 29. My previous attempts to do this on my own were unsuccessful, and I think this is the first time I was successful. The thing I need to remember the next time this happens is not to unscrew where the rod attaches and to instead unscrew the fixture near the pivot point where it attaches to the main pipe. That rod can then be pulled out (back), the stopper inserted and threaded, then the fixture can be rescrewed to complete the fix. Began replaying The Room for iPadOS. Dinner at home with Patrick: veggie burger on pretzel buns with a side of fries and chips, water. Afterwards we continued replaying The Room, and I had a glass of white wine. Patrick had Turkish delight and some ice cream. I washed dishes. We rewatched about half of Cloverfield (2008) which is available on Apple TV+ through June 30. Patrick went to bed.
