Breakfast: leftover breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs fried, hot water. Swept in front of the home. Continued the mailbox numbers replacement project all day; removed old numbers, sanded the mailbox flap, then applied new numbers for our mailbox with silicone sealant. More concrete cracks repair, including sealing a crack in front of the planter where a lot of ants were trafficking. Lunch: leftover fancy spaghetti-os (anelletti) with mini beef meatballs, water. Created, printed, laminated, and posted explanatory safety signs for the boiler and water heater in the garage. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from The Little Chihuahua via DoorDash: pineapple agua fresca and TLC regular burrito (whole wheat, chile verde chicken, whole black beans, no mexican rice, add guacamole) for Patrick, watermelon mint agua fresca and old-school tostada salad (whole black beans, add pollo asado) for me. This meal was disappointing in that the drinks were missing, the food was barely warm, and my tostada salad had something spicy in it—probably the mango salsa—but there was no indication that it had something spicy. We got a refund for the missing drinks, but still. We watched YouTube and The Studio s1:e4 on Apple TV and Fallout s2:e5 on Amazon Prime Video. Patrick went to bed. I joined Patrick in bed a few hours later.
