Breakfast: instant basmati rice from frozen with leftover butter masala chicken, hot water. Finished making glass cleaning solution. Plant care. Removed dust from mailbox flap exteriors and the lock and handle of both the front gate and the side door to the garage. Removed water-dirt stains on the exterior stairwell steps with dish soap solution. Installed 3M Command Strips then mounted a HomePod mini in the kitchen after waiting the requisite one hour. Home care: general carpet cleaning with Resolve in the south bedroom. The HomePod mini bracket fell, so I wiped the speaker bracket side with alcohol, applied new strips to the bracket side (the side that failed), and waited one hour before mounting. Continued door jamb dent repair with wood putty: both front doors, east kitchen pocket door. Yesterday I noticed while distributing pieces of expired credit cards in various city trash cans that our cross-cut shredded doesn't cross-cut very well with plastic. Several of the pieces contained an entire number of the credit card or an entire name. So when shredding credit cards one needs to manually confirm that the important pieces are shredded enough. Yesterday I had saved these pieces when I encountered them, then today I manually cut these into smaller pieces awaiting distribution the next time I leave home. Vacuumed the upper level with the handheld vacuum. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: ground beef quesadillas, hot water, red wine. Trash management. Swept leaves in front of the home. Afterwards we watched Stop! That! Train! on Netflix and butter microwave popcorn and other snacks. Afterwards we watched a little bit of YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I joined not long after.
