Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself a two-egg scramble with zucchini, red onion, red bell pepper; hot water. Cleaned the right-hand portion of the sliding glass door track with dish soap solution and a toothbrush. Repaired a crack in a plastic drapery bracket with super glue. Our Toto washlet lid had cracks in the corners near the hinge, so I used super glue to repair that, too. Reinstalled screw anchors in the ceiling for the drapery rod which fell yesterday. I again used Wet N Fix, and this time it did what I wanted, but it was a smaller hole so some of it spilled out and I had to cut the extra away with a blade. Removed (coffee?) stains from the draperies using dish soap solution; I was surprised that it worked so well. I reinstalled one previously used bracket and installed two new brackets. Patrick helped me reinstall the drapery rod. All the repairs seem great. Late lunch: I prepared for myself yakisoba from frozen with red onion, spinach, zucchini, broccoli, snow peas; hot water. Inspected the left side of the draperies and found we need similar repairs on that side as well. I also found that we need minor tweaks to the positioning of the right side of the draperies. I cleaned some of the sliding glass door glass with dish soap solution. Patrick and I decided what should go into baskets in the office atop the IKEA Tunhem cabinets. We also processed our collection of light bulbs, organizing into the ones we wanted to keep (mostly LED) and the ones we did not want to keep (mostly incandescent and specialty bulbs for which we no longer had appliances). Dinner at home with Patrick: cold sesame noodles with vegetables, hot water. Afterwards we attended Katy and Katya at The Academy and had a wonderful time. Patrick and I walked to a late snack at Super Duper: Patrick got a soft serve cone with chocolate ice cream and dipped in chocolate. I got fries with ketchup. Walked home.
