Breakfast: Patrick made us banana milkshakes. I also had the last slice of Patrick's banana bread, warmed. Also water to drink. Removed the laundry room vent fan and inspected the duct with an endoscope. There's a bit of dust for the length I could see, but I don't think that's causing the problem we have of the room not venting adequately. Sanded the spackling over cracks around the fan opening. Lunch: leftover white beans with andouille sausage over steamed rice, water. Transferred paint from an old, rusting can to a new one. In the laundry room I painted spackling and touch-up painted elsewhere. I labelled the new can with a paint sample card and snack-sized ziploc bag and taped it to the can. Chatted with Auntie Helen via SMS. Dinner at home with Patrick: fusilli with marinara, spinach, and fresh grated parm; hot water. We watched YouTube then we rewatched Star Trek (2009) on Apple TV via past iTunes purchase with salted pistachios. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Late snack: one peach, two corns on the cob, water.
