Breakfast at home: plain yogurt with half diced honeycrisp apple and Patrick's homemade granola, side of half honeycrisp apple slices, hot water. Patrick recently purchased storage containers for Nespresso pods and tea bags. The item he purchased from Amazon called Natural Bamboo Tea Storage Organizer with Clear Acrylic Top Window had edges that were too sharp for my taste, so while using a face mask I sanded it lightly on all surfaces and edges with 320 grit sandpaper, then wiped it clean with a microfiber towel, and that improved its feel significantly. Neti pot. Walked to the library and back to return DVDs. Trash management. Swept in front of the home. Lunch: Taylor Farms Asian chopped salad kit, hot water. Installed a Sioux Chief MiniRester 660-GTR1 water hammer arrester on the kitchen faucet, cold line only. It took about 10 minutes, solved the problem, and was easier than I had expected. Patched two holes on the sliding glass door following equipment removal with wood putty. Patched a 2 mm crack between the sliding glass door and the jamb (west side, top half) with wood putty. Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti with olive oil, roma tomatoes, and garlic; hot water. We watched Ride or Die s1:e1 on Amazon Prime Video then YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Late snack: shrimp wonton noodle soup from frozen to which I added spinach. I started the dishwasher. Tightened the connections on the water hammer arrester. Plant care. Applied two rubber bumpers to one kitchen cabinet door that somehow was missed in earlier applications.
