Last night I went to bed at 10:45, fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

Just as I was going to bed last night it started raining lightly.  I think it may have continued throughout the night.

Teresa had already left for the gym.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show then left for the gym.

I completed my exercises in a little over an hour.

Teresa was back at the apt when I returned.  She said she had to wait 2 hours at nueve eps to see a doctor.

She informed me that the fan is fixed and I can pick it up at Home Center.

After lunch we took a nap when suddenly Teresa jumped out of bed.  I smelled something burning and she told me she left a pot on one of the burners.

I walked to the mall where I had something scanned to my flashdrive, picked up the fan from Home Center, and had coffee in Todo Fresa.

I walked back to the apt, plugged in the fan and it worked.  I reboxed it and put it in the storage area in the garage.

MT called.  She is coming over because she’s bored.

Some time later I asked where MT is and Teresa said she’s tired.

I traded messages with Jooks (Glenn) and I’m meeting him and James for breakfast tomorrow at Carbon de Leña at 9:30.

7,935 steps today.

Joke of the day

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble.

In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

The brunette balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. 

Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I’ll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home." 

The brunette arrives at the man’s ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less.
After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.

She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I’ve bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home." 

The telegraph operator explains that he’ll be glad to help her, then adds "It’s just 99 cents a word." 

Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word.

After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, ‘comfortable.’" 

The telegraph operator shakes his head.

"How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, ‘comfortable’?" 

The brunette explains, "Don’t worry.  My sister’s blonde. She’ll read it very slowly."
