Toe procedure recovery. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced nectarine; hot water. Sewing projects: made more handwarmer covers from an old pair of corduroy jeans, altered the hem on one beige t-shirt because it was too long. The handwarmer covers took little time even as I made the mistake of not turning them inside out before sewing; I just threw the mistakes away and cut new ones. The t-shirt took four hours because I still had lots of trouble adjusting tension. Afterwards Patrick visited his mom while I sat in Dolores Park reading How Stella Learned to Talk from Patrick's Kindle. Patrick and I met for dinner. We tried to eat at El Tucan but it was too crowded and there was a sign on the door that said the bathroom was out of order. We instead ate at Zona Rosa which was empty and the bathroom was working. Two tacos each, Topo Chico for both. About $33. We had drinks at Copper, first one round of non-alcoholic drinks, then one round of alcoholic drinks. About $65. We encountered and chatted briefly with Jeff C and David M. Walked and rode Muni home. It was especially cold tonight.
