Folded laundry that Patrick had washed yesterday. Cleaned in the bedroom bathroom. Breakfast: I prepared an 8-egg veggie fritatta with mushrooms, carrot, celery, broccoli, yellow squash, dill, salt, pepper, milk. (I forgot the cheese, so technically it's not a fritatta, I guess?) I ate a slice with a hash brown from frozen. Hot water to drink. Continued the printers in cabinet project. The middle Tunhem was emptied then pulled back from the wall so that we could access the power outlet behind it. We misjudged the placement of the outlet. Removing Tunhem #2 gave us access to the network jacks but not the outlet, which was behind the middle of Tunhem #3 about a foot from the floor. I unhooked a network component and its backup power source from power and ethernet. We removed one drawer from Tunhem #3, then pivoted the cabinet just enough to gain access to the outlet. We realized this is also a good time and place to set up a charging station for various devices. Patrick napped. Both printers were put into place on their wooden platforms with soft-close drawer slides. The shelf we removed many days ago was reinserted a few inches higher than before. A power strip was placed on that shelf and routed to one plug in the power outlet. The inkjet printer was plugged into the power strip. The laser printer was plugged into the other plug of the power outlet. The network component and its backup power source were restored to service on the charging station shelf. I wiped all surfaces clean, vacuumed, used green painter's tape to tape power cables to the wall so that they would stay flat against the wall. I pushed Tunhem #3 and #2 back into place, then wiped and vacuumed again. All seems to be working well. Last step for later is to put all objects back into the cabinets and put the doors on to Tunhem #1. Lunch: plain yogurt with decaf instant coffee mixed with a tiny amount of hot water, sliced half banana. Hot water to drink. Midafternoon snack: one sumo orange. Cleaned the soles of my heated slippers with Dawn PowerWash. Plant care: the new dracaena is dry even though I watered it only five days ago, so I watered it again. It came with mostly lava rock instead of soil. Updated my Mac to Tahoe 26.3. Unclogged the bedroom toilet. Cleaned the bedroom tub. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Joyride Pizza via DoorDash: sausage n shrooms, caesar salad. Hot water for Patrick, limonata for me. We watched Bad Bunny Tiny Desk Concert then rewatched Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime on YouTube then The Simpsons s37:e4 on Hulu.
