Breakfast: I prepared for myself yogurt with cinnamon, honey, and blueberries; two-egg veggie scramble with celery, zucchini, carrot, spinach, green onions, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; hot water. More faucet purchasing research. Installed macOS 15.6.1 on my MacBook Pro and iPadOS 18.6.2 on my iPad Air. Patrick and I walked to errands and to Thorough Bread to meet with Christiane from a funeral agency to discuss and finalize end-of-life plans. Afterwards Patrick and I lunched at Zona Rosa. We both had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans special and agua de jamaica. We walked to Cliff's then to home. Marble repair: sanding. Trash management. Swept in front of the home and on the balcony and patio. Cleaned animal stains from the balcony railing. Patrick napped while I troubleshot problems with internet and discovered that our provider had an outage that for us seemed to last less than an hour or so. Patrick and I walked to dinner at Canela's happy hour menu for two persons: $45 includes your choice of 5 small bites and two happy hour drinks from the happy hour menu. Atxa rojo then later manuel acha for Patrick, blanco sangria for me. We shared: cortezas (fried pork rinds), croquetas (with ham, chicken, egg, and bechamel), boquerones (anchovies and olive oil with citrus), gazpacho, patatas bravas. We added dessert: helada canela (vanilla ice cream with caramel and chocolate and almond chunks). $67 before tax, health care surcharge, and tip. All food and drink were delicious. Service by Jessica was excellent. Walked home. While trying to watch television we realized that one router node was not connecting, and it took me about 90 minutes of troubleshooting to resolve it. I'm still uncertain what fixed it, but I had to hardwire the node to the router's primary node before it began working again. We watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s3:e7 on Paramount+. Patrick went to bed. I organized notes.
