Breakfast: plain yogurt with blueberries and Patrick's homemade granola; one of Patrick's pumpkin muffin, previously frozen, reheated; hot water. Continued reading voting materials. All day: continued work on the project to convert our CC&Rs to a more pleasantly readable form. Continued cleaning window frames and tracks in the south bedroom. Lunch with Scot B at Tanglad: Scot had noodles and soda, I had five-spice chicken bahn mi and coconut water (can). ZoomBroomed the front of the home and most of the exterior stairwell. Sanded wood putty patches from yesterday then cleaned in the affected areas. New front door bottom inserts were installed two months ago, but our lower front door bottom insert has been troublesome ever since it was installed because it's too tall, causing parts of the rubber insert to tear and twist and causing the insert to attempt to escape from its channel. I removed it, used a razor blade cutter then medical scissors to trim some of the fins where it seemed to be having trouble, and reinserted it. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: pork sausage ragu with rigatoni, hot water. Afterwards we watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds s4:e7 on Paramount+ then Big Mouth s3:e7 on Netflix then GUO4 on Kanopy. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Late snack: Nongshim shrimp crackers, water.
