Breakfast: half of a giant pancake with blueberry sauce. Earlier this morning Patrick had made the sauce and had eaten half of the pancake with it. Hot water to drink. Patrick had done some organizing of things in the garage, and today we finalized decisions about how to dispose of many things we no longer wanted or needed: trash, donation, or sell. Next we began work to remove one of the three Ikea Tunhem cabinets from the north bedroom aka the office because Patrick wanted the room to feel more spacious. After we removed the center Tunhem, we moved the one on the left to where the middle one was. This required some adjustment of power cabling to reduce lengths we now no longer needed. We also installed shims under the feet to remove excessive leaning of the cabinetry. Walked to lunch with Patrick at Super Duper: poblano burger and chocolate shake with malt for Patrick, mini burger with cheddar and kids special shake (banana) for me. We shared fries. Walked home. Checked on the paint job from yesterday—all is well. Folded clothes that Patrick had washed and dried earlier. Physical therapy exercises to treat a minor back issue. Did some light vacuuming throughout the entire home. Later we tried to move the removed Tunhem to the garage but failed. We didn't know how to get it from the lower hallway to the outer stairwell. It got stuck and then incurred a few scrapes. We moved it back to the lower hallway. I showered while Patrick napped, then I napped while Patrick showered. We walked to dinner first trying Ka Kai which was full then walked through Castro Street Market a bit then Heroic Italian at Swirl was also full (indoors—too cold to eat outdoors) and we ended at Thai House Express: fresh rolls, tofu with mixed veggies, crispy chicken, steamed rice, two Singhas, water. All food and drink and service were very good. We had plenty leftovers to take home. We walked more of the Castro Street Market before returning home. We finished watching Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: Ugly Baby on YouTube then watched other videos on YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I remained awake a few hours and then went to bed.
