Patrick helped me identify some of what lights and outlets map to the breaker switches. I removed spattered paint from the balcony railing with a small flathead screwdriver. I cleaned fridge shelves and surfaces. Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself one egg with white cheddar on english muffin with rosemary, salt, pepper, spinach. After finishing, I realized I had sliced but forgot to include roma tomato, so I heated a small tortilla with grated mixed cheeses, added the tomato, and ate that as well. Installed a Lutron occupancy sensor light switch in the upper level half bath. The installation was pretty quick and easy once I figured out what to do with the ground wire. But after I completed the installation, I realized that while removing the old switch some wall paint had come off with it, so I had to patch the wall in the affected area with spackling compound then paint then replace the light switch installation. While waiting for the paint to dry, I walked to Cliff's to buy a replacement light switch plate since the one I removed had a crack that I had not noticed before. Installed the plate then programmed the light switch to my desired settings. Sanded the marble repairs I had made four days ago. Patrick returned home after visiting Model Bakery in Napa with Sam. Dinner at home with Patrick: I prepared linguini and bucatini in lemon cream sauce with asparagus, warm bread, hot water. Patrick processed dirty dishes and started the dishwasher. Afterwards we watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s3:e6 on Paramount+ then Foundation s3:e6 on Apple TV+. Patrick went to bed.
