Breakfast: I prepared for myself two eggs scrambled with sliced carrot, diced onion, sliced green onion; pork sausage; and two mini waffles with salted butter and maple syrup; hot water. Continued work to sell or give away items. Spent the entire morning waiting for someone claiming to pick up an item but they never showed—so exhausting. I also cleaned shower head fixtures that had been treated with vinegar to remove deposits. I ate lunch late because I didn't want to start lunch when they arrived: leftover spaghetti from Sausage Factory. It wasn't enough so later I walked to Fratelli Pizza for a combo slice. I did not enjoy my experience and do not plan to return. The pizza tasted just okay. The crust was too crisp on the bottom. The man behind the counter was inattentive to my requests and to those of another customer: I asked for water and another customer asked for ranch dressing but he failed to remember both when the slices were presented. The dining room is unpleasant because it contains generic art and bad lighting. I asked to confirm that the tables outside were not theirs and he said something to the effect that the neighboring restaurant "probably" would not mind me eating there. They have been open a long time. How would he not know? Another customer who appeared to be a regular seemed to be well attended to, however. I also overheard that they do not charge extra for ranch dressing. Walked home. Napped. Dinner at home with Patrick: beef stew from scratch, hot water. We watched various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. I did research online for buying a toaster.
