Breakfast at home: biscuit from frozen with pork sausage patty from frozen with a quarter of a slice of cheddar cheese, hot water. Identified new mailbox numbers and a plan to install them. Many months ago I purchased an Oxo Good Grips Compact Dustpan and Brush Set online. It arrived with a damaged lip. But the big problem was that I was unable to remove the brush from the pan. Eventually I was able to after using a significant—and dangerous—amount of force. I submitted a request to return it, and the response was that my money would be refunded but I could keep the item. I decided then to give it away or throw it in the trash. It sat in our laundry room for months. Today I used a Dremel-like tool to wear down the plastic nubs that held the brush in place, and now it operates more as I expect. The lip doesn't seem as damaged as I first remember, and lips on dustpans wear down eventually anyway. So I'm keeping it for now. Financial accounting work for the HOA: began process to create a separate bank account, attempted to resolve access issues with a utility but failed and then gave up because their website is so awful. Ordered a pillow insert for our ruched pillow in the bedroom. The one it has is smaller that it ought to be. The sizings for these are not precise, so I'm ordering larger than needed just in case. Continued working on the Recharge Medical dev website all afternoon: added another blog post with translations. Attended an economics webinar. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from The Little Chihuahua via DoorDash: watermelon mint agua frescas for both, Patrick had a TLC burrito (flour, chile verde chicken, refried pinto beans, no cabbage salad, no mucho chile salsa), I had enchiladas (carnitas, smothered red guajillo sauce, refried black beans). We shared tortilla chips with pico de gallo. The chips were at the early stage of stale, but I didn't complain to DoorDash about it. The red sauce on my enchiladas was not spicy. There was something occasionally spicy in the pico de gallo, but I was able to tolerate it. Afterwards we continued rewatching Wicked: Part 1 on Amazon Prime Video until 50 minutes remained. Patrick went to bed. Continued working on the Recharge Medical dev website: styling minor fixes, added the sitemap html page then styled it.
