Among this week’s new US
We arrived at the health club at noon. I worked out on all the machines including 18
minutes at speed 6 on the treadmill. We
left at 1:40 and stopped at a butcher shop where Teresa picked up some chicken
with which to make lunch.
Back at the apt as I unloaded all my stuff I realized I’d
left my little exercise book (I think weights & measures is a good name for
it) back at the gym.
After lunch I crashed on the bed for about 45 minutes but
couldn’t fall asleep.
I got my butt out of bed and headed back to the gym. On the way my right heel started hurting and
I was limping by the time I got to the gym.
(I was wearing my deck shoes with the thin soles. I’m not sure if that was the cause or all the
walking on the treadmill.) At the gym
the receptionist right away handed my my little green book. I limped back to the apt and took a whole
Excedrin tablet which helped a little. I
also changed into my flip flops.
I had picked up the latest Gente newspaper and they had more information about the new mall
currently under construction here in Envigado.
All I understood was that the construction area encompasses 190,000
square meters and besides stores there will be offices, a 14 screen movie
theater and parking for 3,050 cars and 1,003 motorcycles.
I checked the US
embassy website and it appeared that the 3 things Mother Teresa needs to take
care of can all be done without a trip to Bogota
Mother Teresa came over to show me her SS card. She had 3 cards: her NJ driver’s license, her
Medicare card, and a health insurance card but no SS card. At least the Medicare card had her SS number
on it so I could confirm we’re using the right number.
My old Phillipino chess friend Ruben recommended I play the
Benko Gambit as black. I’ll check into
that.
We had a rainstorm start about 10pm and we shut down the
wifi and TV.
T-shirt of the day: Sore today, strong tomorrow.
