Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, blueberries, golden raisins, cinnamon; hot water. Patrick and I identified items for him to take to Goodwill soon. Nap. Spam management. Followup with webhosting provider about email delivery and DNS record troubleshooting (DKIM, SPF, DMARC). Sharpened the hair clipper blades using an improvised technique based on Part 1.HOW TO SHARPEN ANY CLIPPER BLADE PROFESSIONALLY!! via keepitsharp357 on YouTube. Instead of sandpaper, however, I used four standard emery boards lined up adjacent to each other. I could have bought sandpaper, but I had a whole box of these inexpensive emery boards. I did the coarser red side followed by the finer white side. We'll see if it worked next weekend when I cut my hair. (Retro edit: It didn't.) Napped with Patrick. Dinner at home with Patrick: fried tilapia with buttered mashed potatoes and green beans, water, red wine. Dessert: cherry-pistachio biscotti. We watched Mike Birbiglia: Thank God For Jokes on Netflix then watched part of Triangle of Sadness also on Netflix. I washed dishes at a break in the middle. Patrick went to bed. Chatted with Lani and Dex about real estate and finance issues. Late snack: one Gardein chick'n slider from frozen. Water to drink.
