Anaheim trip day 2 of 7. Oatmeal with raisins; hot water. Cleaned the refrigerator door handles with dish soap then vinegar. Family members stopped by after we offered furniture and other items to them. They departed, some with items to dispose or re-home. The plumber returned and installed a new toilet in the front bathroom. Lunch at home with Lani and Dex: leftovers from yesterday's lunch. Cleaned the drawers of one desk in the middle bedroom, examining many stacks of papers, saving a pile of things to be shredded and a pile of interesting items, and recycling a pile of unneeded and non-confidential papers. Printed notice letters then stuffed them into envelopes only to find out later we did not need them thanks to Silvia who had already printed and distributed them. Errands with Lani and Dex: bank, city cashier, city customer service, city cashier, post office, Costco. At Costco we bought fire extinguishers and 9-volt batteries and toilet brushes and coffee. Dinner at Mr. BBQ, a Korean barbecue restaurant referred by a friend of Dex. We ate many kinds of premium meats. We drank non-alcoholic lychee slushies (Lani and me) and a soju sampler (Dex). During our meal we encountered a long hair on one plate with raw meat and politely pointed it out to our server when they returned. They immediately apologized and comped our drinks and upgraded us to the premium menu. We thought the response was generous. Dessert: ice cream: chocolate (Lani and me), strawberry (Dex). We ate too much food. I later said I didn't regret it but I also said I did regret it. I felt like not eating for the next several days. Back to the house. We three chatted a bit about the schedule and logistics for Saturday's memorial service for Mom.
