11:00. Got up, went downstairs, grabbed a glass of water, took my meds. Just wearing pajamas today. Plugged laptop into charger and checked my messages. Filled out bullet journal and refilled my pen.
11:50. Put the kettle on. Made Yorkshire Gold tea and had blueberry Belvita tea biscuits because there were no clean bowls for oatmeal.
12:50. I wonder if ex-LDS ("Mormons") drink hot drinks (tea, coffee).
Dozed off.
13:22. Made more tea.
15:09. Pushed changes to website. Checked email: Friend from Norway emailed me out of nowhere. Invited him to chat.
15:35. Made another cup of tea. Brewed the tea with cinnamon vanilla flavored rooibos. Discovered Barry's Irish tea that's supposedly just as good as Yorshire Gold, if not better (more malty).
16:09. Sipped cinnamon vanilla Yorkshire Gold. It is good.
16:51. Watched Restaurant: Impossible. The chefs on Food Network seem to say electric stoves are garbage, and many electrification laws exempt commercial kitchens, but some professional cooks disagree and use electric (induction) stovetops in their kitchens.
17:00. Read the news in my feed reader. Dallin Crump reflects on the peaceful, nonviolent message of Christianity in the face of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Interestingly, Pax Christi issued a declaration on Iran on my birthday, February 11. Dallin Crump also reviews The Chosen. 41% of Americans now sympathize with Palestinians.
17:30. Grabbed a glass of cabernet sauvignon wine.
18:00. Decided to eat a bean burrito with guac. Finished it off with a can of mandarin oranges and a piece of Tony's salted almond dark chocolate. Messaged some acquaintances to check in, since I haven't heard from them in a while.
19:30. Got butt-dialed by friend.
20:21. I wish Orion Browser was free software/"open source". I'd totally fund it, if it were. We need an alternative to Firefox. I think I'll stick with GNOME Web, once it supports extensions. An Orion+ subscription costs $5/mo. Maybe I'll become a Friend of GNOME for $5/mo.
21:25. Installed [Add Water][8] to make Firefox look as good as GNOME Web. It looks OK but I can't get the tabs bar to go away when I only have one tab open.
22:00. Mom got really low blood pressure. She almosed passed out. Had to get her a cold washcloth and wake my aunt. Eventually found some remedies online for low blood pressure and had her do those: Raised her legs and tightened her dominant hand into a fist.
22:48. Went upstairs.
00:08. Went to bed.
