Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself a veggie omelette with zucchini, broccoli, green onion, carrot; side of half banana; hot water. Midmorning Lani, Rob, and Matt arrived to see our new place. They brought us sweet gifts: chocolate bars, It's It ice cream bars, and plums from Dave and Diane's tree. We gifted them Dandelion chocolate bars and Craftsman and Wolves shoyu chocolate caramels. We gave them a tour of the home and lunched at Dumpling Kitchen: sizzling rice soup (B05), Shanghai-style pan-fried pork buns (S05), steamed chicken and shiitake baos (S17), braised tofu with bok choy (V01), green onion pancake (A05), oolong tea. All food and drink were delicious. Service was very good. Patrick napped. I did some minor caulking in the secondary bathroom and folded laundry that Patrick had washed earlier. Did some work for Recharge Medical: mailing list edits, changes for the USCIS updates html email. In the evening Patrick and I shopped for pillows at various places and made a purchase at Black and Gold then dined at Mezze and Mooore: beet salad, fatoush salad, falafel mezze (5 pieces), mint lemonade for both. Walked home. Rested. Walked to The Academy for Game Night. After the icebreaker, Patrick and I split into different groups. Patrick's group played Poetry for Neanderthals then Where Should We Begin? My group played SKYJO, and I won with beginner's luck. Walked home, stopping at Super Duper Burgers for french fries for me only. Patrick went to bed, then I joined a while later.
