Runny nose has ended, very occasional dry cough remains. Breakfast at home: Hulu Wa leftovers, hot water. House chores despite not feeling 100% recovered from a cold. Cleaned with water and a delicate-scrub sponge the kitchen floor, kitchen floor mats, and the kitchen trash can exterior. Deep-cleaned with Comet the dish rack and sink area. Trash management. Swept in the garage. Encountered cold water dripping occasionally from the crack in the ceiling above the Amtrol Boiler Mate Premier Series in the garage. Deep-cleaned with dish soap solution six recessed pull handles (four on two pocket doors, two on the wardrobe closet doors) and two pocket door edge pulls. Cleaned the bathroom, cut my hair, showered, cleaned the bathroom. Opened and used for the first time the carpet and rug cleaner I purchased in November but did not have time until now to use. I spot-cleaned the rug in the laundry room and the hallway in front of the wardrobe closet in the bedroom. It wasn't clear that it was doing a good job until I emptied the dirty water bin which was filled with dark, yucky water. Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti bolognese, water. We watched Stranger Things s5:e7 on Netflix then YouTube then more of Jiro Dreams of Sushi on Amazon Prime Video. At a break in between we ate dessert: leftover bread pudding with non-alcoholic bourbon hard sauce. Patrick went to bed. I joined a few hours later.
