Breakfast at home: plain yogurt with blueberries, toasted coconut, roasted and slivered almonds; hot water; side of half orange. Researched Halloween trivia in preparation for making trivia signs for a forthcoming party. Recharge Medical work: tried to find more images but had a hard time. We have access to some free images via Adobe Stock, but, for example, whereas it's really easy to find a wide selection of photos of a middle-aged white woman looking at herself in a mirror, it's not easy to find the same of a middle-aged Vietnamese woman. Some images say the woman is Vietnamese but the woman obviously does not appear Vietnamese. Or, some images say "Asian" without saying what nationality or region. Or some images say "Asian" as well as three nationalities. Or some show a Vietnamese woman wearing a traditional dress (áo dài) and a traditional hat (nón lá). Lunch: I dropped off batteries to be recycled at Cliff's Variety then walked to Rossi's Deli and got us a turkey club sandwich on soft roll with a bunch of different packages of chips. Water to drink. Today our neighbor to the east hired tree trimming for their property, and a lot of tree debris and dirt fell onto our balcony and outer stairwell, so I spent a few hours sweeping it all away. Today Patrick and I found a gas shut-off valve we didn't know existed before Pang let us know in an email a few days ago. Dinner at home with Patrick: I prepared mushroom ravioli with alfredo sauce. We watched YouTube then Loot s3:e4 on Apple TV+.
