Helped Patrick with some computer issues. Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself root vegetable hash from frozen to which I added zucchini and red onion; two eggs over easy; english muffin with salted butter. Finished cleaning the sliding doors glass inside and out with dish soap solution. Attempted to remove an unknown stain (paint?) from a Chilewich rug; failed. Goo Gone did nothing. Dish soap solution did nothing. Late lunch: leftover cold sesame noodles with vegetables, one sumo orange, hot water. Patrick and I attempted to install a coat rack at our lower level entry. The first hurdle was that the wall had a large bump of some kind. It was not removable with a plastic putty knife. It was not removable with a metal putty knife. I switched to Dremel with a barrel sander and that removed it. The next hurdle was that after inserting two wall anchors somehow one of the anchors was very much in the incorrect position. I needed to reposition it directly above where it was. Here again I used several discs of Wet N Fix. The fix appears to be good, but I'm letting it dry overnight just to be safe. Shopped online for occupancy sensor wall switches. Vacuumed the stairway. Archived documents. Software updates and backups for websites. Snack: corn chips and unsalted pretzels. Dinner at home with Patrick: orzo with white bean, spinach, and sun-dried tomato; hot water; white wine for me only. We watched Andor s2:e6 on Disney+ then various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and archived documents.
