Breakfast: Thanksgiving leftovers, hot water. We had plans to see Wicked: For Good tonight, but our plans changed because Patrick came down with a cold, and we did not go. Cleaned the secondary bathroom, cut my hair, showered, cleaned the secondary bathroom. Shopped online for gifts and for clothes for me. Lunch: turkey sandwich with baby butterhead lettuce, tomato, cheddar, and mayo and a side of tortilla chips with The Little Chihuahua's too-spicy pico de gallo. While Patrick napped I tested the new pressure washer on the balcony. It seems to work well clearing grime from wall surfaces and grout in the slate tile flooring. While working the drain plugged again and so I used the pressure washer on the drain. Sometimes it would clear and then a moment later become plugged again. Other times the pressure washer wouldn't clear it at all. It's a mystery still. But looking inside it seems obvious something is clinging to the inside of the pipe and reducing its throughput by more than half. I previously thought it was impossible to remove the grate covering the drain because it looks like grout or cement was sealing the edges and some of it got inside the head of one screw, but I'll need to try again. Another day, though. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Gai Chicken Rice via DoorDash. Patrick had lean gai with hainan ginger onion sauce with extra soup and no habanero; hot water to drink. I had gai noodle soup with chicken no habanero and a side of broccoli and a thai iced tea. All food and drink were delicious. Afterwards we watched Moonlighting s2:e4 The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice on Hulu. Patrick went to bed. I stayed up shopping for clothes online.
