Breakfast: hash with shredded potatoes from frozen, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and white onion; hot water. Final hanging of art on the south wall of the north bedroom aka the office aka Patrick's desk. The Command Strip Picture Hanging Strips worked well, and we are very happy with the result. Later Patrick and I walked and rode Muni to Stonestown Galleria to repair the back of Patrick's iPhone 16 Pro which cracked after an accidental drop. It was under AppleCare+, and the repair luckily cost us only $29. He's now using a case on it. We also purchased a gift. We lunched at Le Soleil, which was almost empty at noon on a Wednesday. Patrick had bahn mi with pork lunch special. I had bun bo lunch special. Each lunch special included a side of Hong Kong-style fish balls. The menu did not indicate that they were very spicy, but I ate them anyway. Patrick's bahn mi arrived first, then there was a very long delay before my dish arrived—perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. Our server apologized and attempted to explain why the delay occurred but could not clearly describe why. Later someone else—a manager?—stopped at our table to apologize for the error and to tell us that my dish was removed from our bill. My dish arrived. It was delicious and well-prepared except that one meatball included what I believed to be a small piece of gristle. Our server later again apologized for the error, saying that the chef somehow missed seeing the order and that there were language or communication difficulties. It was not the best first experience, but I feel they recovered as best they could have from the error. Walked and rode Muni home. I did physical therapy exercises to treat a minor back issue while Patrick napped. Continued creating 4x6 signs and began new business card designs for Recharge Medical. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover burritos from last night and steamed white rice with leftover Italian pot roast, hot water. Afterwards we watched YouTube then the remainder of the rewatching of Jurassic Park: Rebirth on Netflix then YouTube with cocktails and snacks. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and started the dishwasher. Wrapped Mother's Day gifts. Started the dishwasher. Bioda treatment to kill fruit flies—all upper and lower level drains.
