Happy Veterans Day!
I got up 3 times during the night, but luckily
fell back asleep quickly each time. I
finally woke/got up at 8:30.
Teresa asked me what I wanted for breakfast and
I said just scrambled eggs and coffee.
She soon learned we are out of liquid propane gas so she called a guy
named Felipe and ordered a refill. She
told me the old canister lasted for 7 months.
At 10am Felipe showed up with a large canister
of gas and I paid him 45mil.
10 minutes later Ramiro and his daughter showed
up and continued working on the doors.
When I went to post yesterday’s events I noticed
my posts for the last few days were missing so I had to post them again.
I reread last year’s end of year posts to see
what it cost for my Pensionado Visa renewal last year and it was 1,180,000
pesos or approximately $621 and took about 3 weeks. That included help from a lawyer and the 504
mil fee from Colombia
for the actual visa.
At 12:30 we all had a nice lunch of a chicken
leg with rice, Chinese salad and juice.
Laura came home at 1:30.
I got an email from Paypal that my debit card is
about to expire and they want me to update my payment information. Actually, I received my new debit card months
ago and I haven’t used Paypal in a long time.
I tried to add my Miami MBE address online but it wouldn’t allow me to
change the country from Colombia
to the US.
It seems like it takes forever for Ramiro to put
on each door but I appreciate that he’s careful about doing a good job.
Teresa has wanted to go back to Calle 44 in
Laureles to retrieve 4 paintings she has left there. She finally got in touch with someone there
and she has to call back later to find out whether it is best for us to go
there tomorrow or Thursday. She did
arrange to have Carlos move the paintings here for 80mil.
Teresa told me that she designed the
closet. Wow, I’m impressed!
They left at 5:30 still having to finish
installing some doors on the 2nd level. Also, Teresa doesn’t like the fit of the
“backsplash” (sorry, I don’t know the correct technical term) that is above the
2nd level of shelves so I guess he will do it over. Tomorrow we have to go to Laureles to pick up
the paintings so Ramiro will come back Thursday morning to finish the job.
We also want to talk to him about adding stairs
to the loft area although I told Teresa we should wait until January so I’m
sure I will have enough money to pay for it.
Teresa and I watched more of The Terminal until 9pm when Teresa
switched to the Colombian version of The
Voice.
We went to bed at 10:15.
What is Chinese salad?
