Breakfast: leftover Mediterranean food, hot water. Followup with tax paperwork: estimated tax payments. Applied silicone sealant to the exterior painted bottom edge of the window in the north bedroom (office) door to the patio. Shredded unneeded receipts. Archived receipts I needed. Recorded info from receipts for later price comparison. Organized email folders. Errand: picked up a package at a local dropoff point. Walked to errands and lunch with Patrick. UPS Store for a dropoff. Lunch at Hulu Wa. Patrick had Mongolian chicken lunch special, I had sweet and sour fish lunch special. Both came with steamed white rice and hot and sour soup. Thai iced teas for both. Patrick's fortune: The real test in life is not in keeping out of the rough, but in getting out after you are in. My fortune: Your dreams will come to life later today. Afterwards another errand before walking home. Unwrapped and installed a replacement lamp shade for a Robert Abbey lamp. Photographed and packaged the old shade. Archived paperwork. Followup with contacting a plumber. Uninstalled Hidden Bar and installed Dimble. It was a great run, Hidden Bar. Thank you! Followup with a product I had ordered weeks ago but has not yet shipped. Shopped online for outdoor wall sconces. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers, water, white wine. We continued rewatching Star Trek: Beyond on Paramount+. Patrick went to bed. Completed 27.2 installations for remaining devices. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
