Breakfast: leftover veggie fritatta, plain yogurt with granola and blueberries, hot water. This morning Patrick put objects back into Tunhems #1 and #2, and he and I reattached the doors to Tunhem #1. I vacuumed, and now the printers in cabinet project is complete. Lunch at home with Patrick: leftover Joyride sausage n shrooms pizza, leftover Hulu Wa Chinese pancake, cold water for Patrick, hot water for me. Sewing: altered boys black Columbia joggers. Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti bolognese, hot water. Afterwards we continued playing Firmament. In St. Andrew we opened all four bridges for level B then got stuck and stopped. We watched Middleditch and Schwartz s1:e2 on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. Late snack: celery with peanut butter, graham crackers, hot milk. Woke at 2:00 a.m. to what was clearly several people talking very loudly on the sidewalk outside our home. I peeked out the window to see what was happening. It was clear that at least two of them were very angry and arguing—shouting and screaming as loud as they could—on the verge of becoming violent because one of them was repeatedly pounding on a car window, presumably owned by one of them, and which was parked just outside our home. Patrick was already awake but lying in bed. He said they had been alternating between partying with loud music and arguing for the past hour. We didn't call the police because we didn't think they would do anything. After another 10 minutes of seemingly escalating arguing, I heard someone say, "Hi, how ya doin'?" and moments later a police car passed and someone (not police) walked by smoking a cigarette. Someone else must have called the police. I felt afraid in my own home even knowing that I was relatively safe from harm. I returned to bed, put in my Airpod Pros, turned on a sleep story then fell asleep about 45 minutes later.
