Cleaned the kitchen sink faucet aerator. Deep-cleaned the two-burner griddle. Breakfast at home: blueberries with cinnamon and local honey, chicken quesadilla on flour tortilla, hot water. House chores: deep-cleaned the garbage disposal, hand-washed the foam tablet stand cover, scrubbed kitchen floor mats with dish soap solution, deep-cleaned the stove top, cleaned part of a shoe that had something on it. Plant maintenance: orchid, rattlesnake, and calla lily. Lots of trash management. Encountered, met, and chatted briefly with Zeb, the assistant to one of our upstairs neighbors. Midmorning snack: heated blueberry muffin, three mandarins. Walked to Cliff's Variety and back for machine screws. Tried replacing the machine screws holding the two sidewalk cleanout grates down but realized that on one of them the frame is missing the part that the screw goes into and on the other one the screw is stuck inside and the head has been sawed off. Archived documents. Replaced the half bath soft-close toilet seat with the soft-close toilet seat that used to be in the primary bathroom because it soft-closes slightly better than the one in the half bath did. Replaced the cover for the foam tablet stand after it had dried in the sun. Midafternoon small meal: deli turkey and wild rice soup, one toasted english muffin, water. We can't recall what we had for dinner tonight. I walked to Tim and Tom's Hawaiian Holiday at Tim and Tom's Treehouse on Duboce Avenue with hosts Tim and Tom, cat Jenny, bartender Max, hostess Rebecca, Will P, Troy U, Topher H, Ben S, Brandon, Jason, Ryan D, Jason S, Tim C, Andy M, Scott T, Scot B, JY, Adrian, and more. Patrick was too exhausted today and regretfully did not attend. I met Will, Troy, Topher, and Ben for the first time as far as I remember. We talked about home maintenance, Andersen windows, cleanouts, painting interior walls, and more. While preparing to leave, I told Andy M that I would walk him home, but while I was in the bathroom he left. I began walking to get a slice of pizza but after a minute or two I realized I could see where he was in Find My. I found his location, found that he seemed to not be moving, so I found him and walked him all the way home. I wanted a slice of pizza afterwards. Marcello's was in the process of closing. The line was too long at Pizzalicious. I got my slice at Oz Pizza: salami and sausage for about $8. Walked home.
