Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself a mini wrap using a tortilla and leftover southwest chicken salad with avocado-cilantro dressing. A tiny side of blueberries with yogurt. Hot water to drink. Patrick and I spent all day mounting things in the laundry room such as a mop and broom organizer. Lunch: Patrick had leftover orzo with white bean, spinach, and sun-dried tomato. I prepared for myself linguine with spinach and broccoli in cheese sauce from a powder. I helped Lani recover a missing file by using a backup. Later we attended Valencia Streets Live, a new street party between 16th and 19th Streets. We dined at the bar corner at Tacolicious: cocktails: margarita de la casa for Patrick, papi hemingway for me. We shared tuna tostada. Patrick had two tacos: guajillo-braised beef and baja-style fish. I had two tacos: shot-and-a-beer chicken and baja-style fish. Patrick reported that his cocktail glass had a chipped edge—not good, and the bartender said they would take that glass out of service. We received happy hour prices. Our server removed Patrick's drink from the bill. All food and drink were excellent. We wished we received napkins with the salsa and chips rather than a while afterwards, but this and the chipped glass were the only complaints. Walked home. We watched Andor s2:e8 on Disney+ then various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. Cutting board wood butter treatment. I used metallic tape to cover a logo on the Dell monitor stand holding the monitor that Patrick now uses. In our previous home the monitor was mounted to the wall, so we hadn't used the stand until now. I made adjustments to the draperies to make them less wrinkled. I also repaired two (panels?) which had fallen out of their clips.
