Slept in. As I woke, Patrick had returned from martial arts practice with Sam and went immediately to bed because he didn't get enough sleep. After a while I got out of bed. We had essentially nothing in the fridge but drinks and desserts, so I had a late breakfast by myself at The Cove: two eggs scrambled, pork link sausage, hash browns with ketchup, whole wheat toast with butter, coffee with cream and sugar. On the walk home I encountered and introduced myself to neighbors Daniel and Jathen who live in an identically architected building but who are not our condo's neighbors, and we chatted for a few minutes. They seem very nice. Afterwards, I began cleaning from last night's party: vacuuming, swiffing, floor spot removal by hand, electric candle management, began returning objects to their places before they were removed for the party, more vacuuming, laundered microfiber towels. Patrick returned from visiting his mom and brother and also helped clean. I skipped lunch because I wasn't hungry. In the afternoon I did some money management tasks. Later Patrick and I walked to dinner at Pasta Panino: we shared a small order of focaccia and ciabatta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Patrick had penne bolognese (spicy). I had capellini pomodoro with chicken. Water to drink. No dessert. $50.84 after tax and before a 20% tip for Felipe G. Walked home. Rode Uber to 15th Avenue House for a Dia de los Muertos cocktail party. In attendance: Tai, Drew, Phil, Jesse, Chris, Nate, Jonathan, Quyen, Dave, Cricket, Sean, Igor (but no Leo), Sarah, Boris, Shawn, Quan, Cesar, Tony, Tadija, and others I did not chat with. Rode Uber home. To bed.
