Breakfast: cashew-peach granola with plain yogurt, golden raisins, and toasted coconut; hot water. Prepared for a plumber visit by removing two drain grates, one on the balcony (west or right side) and one on the patio. Like the first one, these were difficult to remove because concrete or something else sealed them into place. I again used large and small flat head screwdrivers to chisel away concrete which included concrete inside the screw heads. Later Mario from Precision Rooter and Drain came and inspected the drains. We talked about the options and I agreed to have them hydrojet instead of snake which will resolve the problems more thoroughly and if time they will hydrojet other pipes to ensure they are clear. He did not have hydrojet equipment today, and we rescheduled for Thursday. Lunch: leftover farfalle with vegetables, hot water. Later we rode Lyft ($5—half off discount!) to see Wicked: For Good at Alamo Drafthouse New Mission. We shared popcorn no butter and a hot dog which came with fries. Iced tea for Patrick, lemonade for me. The theatre had perhaps 16 people in it, and it seems we were the last people on earth to see this film. Afterwards we walked to dinner at Souvla. Patrick had a chicken wrap and iced tea. I had avgolemono soup and tap water. Rode Uber (about $6) home. Nail care. Cleaned the primary bathroom tub. We watched Loot s3:e9 on Apple TV+ then YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I joined a few hours later.
