Breakfast: Patrick had oatmeal. I prepared for myself a two-egg scramble with zucchini, red bell pepper, white onion, feta, salt, pepper; sourdough toast with salted butter; hot water. Continued work to sell or give away items all day—so exhausting. I am starting to encounter more accounts that I suspect are scammers or phishers, and it's encouraging me to change my tactics. Shopped for a patio umbrella then got lost in the amazing cockeyed.com for a while. Workers from a furniture company came to replace a portion of a desk that was faulty. The replacement works as expected. Someone picked up a 3-foot-long gumbo paddle that we gave away for free. Lunch at home: ramen made with two halves of Maruchan chicken ramen seasoning packets, broccoli, snow peas, assorted fish cake, white onion. Walked to Cliff's for a monitor power cable to replace one that had somehow disappeared and a replacement for a set screw for an Anderson window hand crank. The replacement they offered was close but did not work so I walked back to Cliff's and returned it. Prepared a paper thank you letter to one of my banks. Researched forthcoming technology purchases. I can't recall what Patrick and I ate for dinner at home, but it was probably leftovers. We watched Everybody's Live s1:e8 with John Mulaney on Netflix then Andor s2:e5 on Disney+ then various YouTube videos from Coachella 2025.
