Breakfast at home with Patrick: Patrick prepared warm banana bread with a pear and nut yogurt parfait, hot water. Spent the morning sanding yesterday's epoxy repair with a rotary tool. The repair was mostly good but the sanding did leave a tiny hole, so I patched it again, waited 40 minutes, and sanded again. This repair now seems complete. I also tried to resolve the problem of the shutter door sagging within its frame, causing it to rub at the bottom onto the windowsill and leaving an arced mark. The hinges and its screws were not loose at all. The shutter door and the frame are both square. I shimmed the middle and bottom hinge leaves on the shutter side, each with two toothpicks. This helped resolve the problem a bit but not completely. I might just have to sand it. Lunch: a Vietnamese-branded wonton noodle soup from frozen—it's decent. Water to drink. Followup with the address update from 3 days ago. Turns out they resolved the problem but did not call to let me know. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: autumn orzo salad with warm bread, hot water. Afterwards we watched Big Mouth s3:e10 on Netflix then YouTube.
