Slept in. I completed the drawer handle repair after yesterday's SteelStik work. Breakfast: toasted everything bagel with chive cream cheese; hot water. Patrick began disassembling the artificial Christmas tree. Lunch: chicken-flavored instant ramen with baby corn, white onion, mushrooms, carrot, one egg, cilantro; hot water. HOA paperwork all afternoon. Dinner at home with Patrick: vegetarian enchiladas with refried beans, hot water. Afterwards we watched YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Continued reading from My Absolute Darling by Patrick Tallent, chapter 3. I had started chapters 1 and 2 of this book several weeks ago and am only now picking it up again. Started the dishwasher. I joined Patrick in bed a few hours later.
