Last night I got up twice during the night, waking at 6am
and getting up at 6:30.
Teresa told me that if she’s not in the apt when I get back from
the gym that she’ll be at the finca showing it to another prospective
renter. I told her that I’m going to Papa Johns for pizza - with Laura if
she’s interested.
At the gym I did all of my exercises in an hour and 55
minutes. I still don’t have confidence
that my hamstrings are okay so I’m still taking it easy with them. I didn’t see my friend Jose so I texted him
and he told me he needs to work today. I
told him he needs to decide which is more important work or gym. Lol. I
asked him about seeing Solo and he
said he saw it at Majorca at 3pm in 3D and
that I have to see it. I traded a few
Whatsapp messages with someone named John that might also be interested in
renting the finca.
I stopped at Confama
on my way back to the apt and picked up a Gente
newspaper.
Teresa was still at the apt and she notified me that I
forgot to pay the Direct TV bill. I told
her that’s because I had gotten a bill each of the last few months to remind
me.
Teresa soon left.
When I came out of the shower Laura said Teresa called and
she’s having lunch down at Deli Hoy
and she wants Laura to bring her cellphone that she forgot. I asked Laura if she was going to join me at Papa Johns for pizza. She was very reluctant because she’s afraid
it will make her fat. (She doesn’t have
an observable ounce of fat on her.) She
couldn’t decide so I told her that I’m leaving for Papa Johns at 1pm, if she’s with me fine, if not then I’m going
alone. Laura finally decided she would
order something else at Papa Johns or
go next door to another restaurant for something else. First of all, there is no other restaurant
nearby and I looked online and the only other things besides pizza were
cinnamon rolls and cheese sticks. Real
healthy!
When Laura returned from delivering the cellphone we walked
to Exito and took a taxi to Papa Johns for the exact minimum fare of
5,400 pesos.
When Laura saw the alternatives she changed her mind and we
split a medium pizza for 39,500 pesos.
Laura, who is so afraid of getting fat, ordered hers with chicken and
bacon. What?
Afterwards I gave her bus fare back to the apt and I walked,
stopping at a health food store for a loaf of multi cereal bread for 7,900
pesos.
I dropped the bread off at the apt and walked to $efecty where I paid the 200,700 Direct TV bill. I bought a Condorito for Chuck, had something printed at the copy center and
stopped at Bartolos for a coconut
lemonade. Today is a warmer day –
probably in the lower 80s. The waiter
explained that the mixer wasn’t working so I had a cold fresh juice instead. I walked over by city hall where I trimmed my
finger nails and then returned to the apt.
Teresa came back at 7pm and wanted to go to Bocados Bar for dinner but I had work to
do on my laptop so I convinced her to go to La
Casita Parilla Instead. (Laura left
with us but she went to Colombia Immersion
school to practice speaking English with gringos.) Teresa had solomito (steak) and I had their
ribs for a total of 30mil. I tasted
Teresa’s steak and found it to be pretty good.
Each of our plates also included a small salad, baked potato and arepa
with a slice of mozarella cheese on top.
We also each had a soda.

Locally, Solo is
playing at 3pm and 6pm at Vizcaya in 3D.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump misrepresented what he’s
doing for members of the armed forces when he spoke Friday to graduates of the
United States Naval Academy.
TRUMP: “Going to have new equipment and well-deserved pay raises.
We just got you a big pay raise. First time in 10 years. We got you a big pay
increase. First time in over 10 years. I fought for you. That was the hardest
one to get, but you never had a chance of losing.”
THE FACTS: That’s not right. U.S. military members have gotten a
pay raise every year for the past 10 years and several have been larger than
this year’s 2.6 percent increase. Pay increases in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for
example, were all 3.4 percent or more.

TRUMP: “We have now the lowest number of ships that we’ve had
since World War I, and very soon you’re going to get to 355 beautiful ships.
355. That’s almost a couple of hundred more ships.”
THE FACTS: No it isn’t. The Navy now has 283 ships.
And a 355-vessel battle fleet is not going to be achieved “very
soon.” The Navy plans to reach 355 in the 2050s while saying that could happen
in the 2030s if it gets more money and extends the normal life of ships in the
fleet.
Talk about rising to your level of incompetence! Or the president is just a chronic liar.
Teresa proclaimed that the rainy season – spring, fall,
winter whatever they call it here – is over.
