Sore throat remains about the same as yesterday. Breakfast: leftover noodle soup, hot water with lemon and honey and/or Dorot ginger. Reviewed the home warranty plan and did research to see if we want to renew. Updated the home inventory spreadsheet of appliances and fixtures. Lunch: deli chicken noodle soup. In the late afternoon we finished watching Die Hard 2 on Hulu. Dinner at home with Patrick. We had planned to attend Christmas Eve dinner at Tai, Phil, and Drew's place but we did not go because I was sick and Patrick was potentially exposed. Delivery from Hulu Wa via DoorDash: steamed rice, beef chow fun, orange chicken, wonton soup. Also included in our order—accidentally? we didn't order it—was fried green beans. We saw it as a surprise Christmas gift! All food and drink were delicious. Patrick's fortune: Your friends will stand by you through thick and thin. My fortune: Today's kindness will create ripples of goodness. Afterwards we watched Christmas things on various channels: a Christmas episode of Will and Grace, SNL Presents Christmas Songs, California Through My Lens: Balboa Island: Southern California’s Magical Christmas Island, A Star Wars Christmas Lightshow by The Brown Family Christmas Light Show, Jacob Collier - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire), a few songs from the Commercialists live at The Jazz Estate playing A Charlie Brown Christmas. Patrick went to bed. Steady rain. Late tonight the sore throat is going away and runny nose and nasal congestion begins. Sneezing frequency increases. Continued working on the Recharge Medical dev website: tiles styling.
