Walked and rode Muni to a doctor appointment and back. Before heading home, I attempted to breakfast at Emmita's Cafe and then Pete's Cafe, but both were closed. I found Starbuck's open and got a sausage, cheddar, and egg sandwich with a tall latte—all delicious. Blender lid cleaning seems to look okay even though it still smells a bit off. Changed air purifier pre-filters. Began using a neti pot after not having used one in a long time to address very occasional crackling sounds in one ear—probably a eustacian tube issue. Deep-cleaned the washer by running an empty load with 2 cups of vinegar then again with half a cup of old baking soda from the fridge. Shoe padding fix from a few days ago seems to have held. Cleaned sink undermount rims with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Cleaned in both lower level bathrooms. Swept the patio and balcony. Removed bird poop from the balcony. Shopped online to use some credit that we had earned for purchases in the past few months. Cleared the drain street-facing spout on the patio. Cleaned the outsides of the windows facing the patio. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Slice House Haight Ashbury, our first time, via DoorDash: medium 12-inch Hawaiian Hit Man no honey, caesar salad. White wine and water to drink. All food was delicious. Undid changes to the home network that I made this morning because we have two older devices that stopped working. We watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s3:e4 on Paramount+ then What We Do in the Shadows s6:e10 on Hulu then The Simpsons s34:e10 on Hulu. Patrick went to bed. I performed updates for home devices. Updated to Apple devices to version 18.6 and macOS Sequoia 15.6. Late snack: leftover caesar salad, hot chocolate from scratch.
