Home today. Had some oatmeal and some leftover beef sticks and pickled water spinach for breakfast. Had some seaweed and chips for an afternoon snack. Iced oatmilk latte around 12:15 and some hot genmaicha around 3:15. This day seemed to go by fast, as did the previous two days. Either I'm really wasting my time, or I just have too much stuff on my computer to work through. Tempted to get Claude on the case, maybe for a section of OneTab. Dropped off Seth at some buffet in the Berryessa area around 7:00, but the drive back home was really rough because I kept missing I-680. So, I took the smaller streets (inadvertently) instead. The evening sun did NOT help, and it was just as hard to see out with sunglasses on as it was with regular glasses on. My car also seemed to be a little meh -- the engine spun up a little bit sooner sometimes than I had liked, and I've got to get it serviced soon anyway (no oil changes every 6 months though, it's yearly). My confusion on the streets of San Jose really got me thinking about how well I actually drive — I've got to explore that city, because it's probably not going to be any better in Santa Cruz. Helped Helen around 8:15 with unscrewing/rescrewing a hose and helping wash her car. She talked about Paul, her late husband, and her own age (77). For dinner grandma made some gingered soy and fish. Yum yum. I wish I ate more but that midday snack felt kind of indulgent. Maybe tomorrow.
