Breakfast: cottage cheese with blueberries, leftover salmon burrito, hot water. Chatted on the phone briefly with a handyman whom JY and Adrian recommended to get referrals to other contractors. Vacuumed in the bedroom. Vacuumed the pom poms throw pillow which has been shedding wool threads from the pom poms. Vacuumed a microfiber towel that had a problem with shedding microfibers. Did minor tile grout touchups in the secondary bathroom. Repaired a broken tile in the secondary bathroom with epoxy putty. More concrete crack repair using Quikrete Concrete Crack Seal in a tube. Swept tree debris from the patio. Lunch: microwaved corn on the cob; yakisoba noodles from frozen with carrot, celery, garlic, basil; cold water. Used my sewing machine to repair some small holes in the arms of a dark brown v-neck sweater. Repaired my Kickstarter 15-inch Everyday Messenger strap with sewing by hand then machine. Showered, cleaned the bathroom. Removed a bit of mold around the sink faucet in the primary bathroom with vinegar and dish soap and water solution. Walked to meet Patrick at the place where he gets his eyebrows waxed. Dinner at Tara Indian with Patrick: masala chai for two, paneer korma mild, butter chicken masala mild, kabuli naan, basmati rice. All food and drink were delicious. Service by Cashier 0 was mostly good but neglectful at the end of our meal. Afterwards Patrick and I walked to, attended, and enjoyed at The Academy: Academy Forum: Castro Town Hall with Supervisor Mandelman. Walked home. We watched various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. I joined a few hours later.
