Last night I took half a Zopiclona with 2 Trazadone and went
to bed at 10:45. I got up once about
2:30, took another half a Zopiclona, finally waking at 6:30 and getting up at
7am.
I need to buy a notebook for my Spanish lessons so I’m going
to be moving up several of my activities for today.
I left the apt at 9:10 and walked to the gym. While starting the seated row exercise I
experienced pain in my right wrist; probably my arthritis acting up. I skipped the rest of my arm & chest
exercises and went directly to the treadmill.
I was back at the apt by 10:30.
I left just before noon and walked to the closest paper
store, Seroja, where I bought a 3,300
peso notebook solely for my Spanish lessons.
I stopped at a copy center on my way back and printed a few chess
notes. At Otra Parte I had nice lunch of pasta with a coconut lemonade for 24
mil. I arrived at Parva right at 1:30 when Juan and I agreed to meet. After a 2 hour lesson my mind was wiped
out. Among additional things I learned
Juan says we should take a bus to Tayrona
Park
Chuck arrived just as my class ended and we walked over to Aymara for coffee. Teresa called and told me she found some
things real cheap that she wanted. I
walked Chuck as far as my gym looking for the nature store that Juan keeps
recommending. Next time I’ll have Juan
take me there. I returned to the apt,
dropped off some things, picked up a little cash and my debit card and walked
to the mall. I found Teresa with MT at Percimon and I had a small yogurt ice
cream with blueberries and crushed peanuts.
While in line I met a man from New Jersey
who told me he’s 2 years away from retirement then he’s going to move to Medellin
After I finished my yogurt we went to Home Center and bought a new hair blow dryer, a telescoping window
squeegee and a plastic shelf to hang on the shower pipe in the guest bathroom to
hold stuff.
We returned to the apt by 6:30.
I watched another episode of You on Netflix.
14,258 steps today.
Joke of the day
A man walked into a
restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
As he sat down, the
waitress came over and asked for their orders.
The man said,
"I'll have a hamburger, fries and a coke." Then he turned to the
ostrich and asked, "What's yours?"
"I'll have the
same," said the ostrich.
A short time later the
waitress returned with the order saying, "That will be $6.40
please." So the man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact
change for payment.
The next
day, the man and the ostrich came again and the man said, "I'll have a
hamburger, fries and a coke." Then the ostrich said, "I'll have the
same."
Once again
the man reached into his pocket and paid with exact change.
This became
a routine until late one evening, the two entered again.
"The
usual?" asked the waitress. "No, it is Friday night, so I will have a
steak, baked potato, and salad," said the man. "Same for me,"
said the ostrich.
A short time
later the waitress came with the order and said, "That will be
$12.62." Once again the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and
placed it on the table.
The waitress
couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Excuse
me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your
pocket every time?"
"Well,"
said the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found an
old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first
wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my
pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."
"That's
brilliant!" said the waitress. "Most people would wish for a million
dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as
you live!"
"That's
right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is
always there," said the man.
The waitress
asked, "One other thing, sir, what's with the ostrich?"
The man
sighed, paused, and answered, "My second wish was for a
tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say."
