Anaheim trip day 1 of 7. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, diced half banana; hot water. Rode Lyft to SFO. Flight from SFO to SNA. Lani picked me up while also giving a ride to Jamie's mom whom we dropped off at her destination. We drove to our childhood home. We had many visitors including tenant Fermin (with whom I used my limited Spanish to share some difficult news), property manager Silvia, handyman Carlos, and a plumber. Dex arrived, and the three of us began cleaning the garage. After much work we took a break, ordering delivery from a Thai restaurant via credit from a generous Grubhub gift from Johnson. We learned that you cannot use a Grubhub gift card without first adding a credit card of your own. We continued cleaning, occasionally finding treasures such as a thermally changing mug from Dad's work at Northrop, a new set of China hand-painted with poppy flowers, milk glassware, and Lani's uniforms from Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child Jesus. We filled one extra large trash bin and one extra large recycle bin and organized many items for disposal or re-homing. We drove to dinner at Anaheim Packing District. Lani and I shared items from Adya: sev puri and coconut shrimp curry with butter naan, raita, and dal; tap water to drink. Dex had a handroll trio and a beer from Zabon Ramen. Our Adya meal was perfection even though we couldn't agree on which items were spicy or to what degree. (I'll avoid the dal next time.) Dex seemed to enjoy his sushi rolls. Afterwards we did some grocery shopping at Vons then returned to the house, and I soon went to bed.
