Fridge organization. Breakfast: one fried egg in flour tortilla with sour cream, guacamole, parsley, mixed shredded cheeses, leftover pico de gallo; hot water. Removed the loose nut from the emergency ladder for the upstairs unit in our HOA. Removed all nuts and bolts from the patio table and chair set on the balcony. Used Bar Keeper's Friend soft cleanser on the aluminum parts. Used Rust-Oleum Rust Stripper on the nuts and bolts and, briefly, on some parts of the aluminum that had gotten rust that BKF did not remove. The powder coat had chipped in a few areas, so I sprayed those and all nuts and bolts with gloss enamel. Patrick and I walked to Cliff's Variety for Christmas ornaments and a few other items. Restored/repaired the loose bolt on the fire escape ladder. Cleaned the office door handle on both sides and the latch bolt and strike plate of grime and splattered paint with vinegar solution. Continued working on the Recharge Medical dev website: added two more blog posts. Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti with pork in marinara sauce, hot water. Afterwards we watched Stranger Things s5:e4 then Matt Rife: Unwrapped, A Christmas Crowdwork Special, both on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. I joined a few hours later. Late snack: hot apple cider, a half-handful of salted cashews; half of a TJ's toffee chip.
