Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself one hash brown, one sausage patty, a two-egg florentine omelette with sour cream; hot water. Dusted and vacuumed the upper level. Patrick napped. I vacuumed in the office then spot-cleaned the carpet in the office and the rug in the laundry room. Vacuumed in the office a bit more and in the secondary bathroom. Performed remediation for a calla lily which had a gnat infestation: dried the top layer of soil with a hair dryer on low thrust and medium heat then inserted yellow sticky traps on small sticks. Cleaned in the bathroom. Cut my hair, showered. Cleaned in the bathroom. Walked to lunch with Patrick at Dinosaurs: pork belly sandwich for Patrick, shaking beef sandwich for me, vietnamese iced coffees for both. I forgot to ask for mine to have no jalapenos even though Patrick reminded me to do so just before we ordered, but it was easy to remove them by hand. The sandwiches are served warm. The jalapenos are sliced thicker than we are used to—perhaps 3 mm? Patrick removed some jalapenos and left some on. All food and drink were delicious. Walked home. I swept in front of the home and in the street, including removing cobwebs and dirt from the garage door, the doors to the water and gas meters, the gate, and nearby surfaces. Housewarming communications work. Dusted then vacuumed the lower level hallway and stairs then the primary bedroom and bathroom. More carpet spot-cleaning in the primary bedroom in front of the closet. Dusted the plantation shutters on both sides then vacuumed. Cleaned the soles of my heated slippers with Dawn Powerwash. No dinner, but instead I made Patrick and me Martha Stewart's Orange Vanilla Shake while we watched The Bear s4:e8 on Hulu then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s3:e3 on Paramount+. Patrick went to bed. I watched various YouTube videos. Cleaned in the secondary bathroom: tub. Very late snack: leftover mac and cheese with corn off the cob from frozen. To bed very late.
