Last night I went to bed at 10:30pm, fell asleep quickly, woke up once about 4am, fell back asleep quickly, woke/got up at 6:30.

7 more days of this presidency; unless he’s removed from office first or he resigns.

I blundered a rook in my endgame to kyrichen55 (797) and my rating dropped from 1464 to 1412. I also lost to 64cuadros (1269) and my rating is now 1374.

I left the apt at 8am and started my walk with the back streets. When I got to Avenida Poblado I headed north to the Honda dealership then east to Chuck’s apt complex. I dropped off his spare set of apt keys with the portera. (He’s a Trump supporter and it’s about time we started shunning these people. Actions have consequences but so do beliefs.)

It isn’t often I’m on the east side of Avenida Poblado so I walked south to Aymara, crossed the street, passed Parva, through La Buena Mesa and back to the apt by 9am.

Teresa returned at noon. She told me a fantastic story of walking to Parque Envigado, Jumbo, Parque Envigado and Parque Salado.

Approximately 4:25pm EST, Donald J. Trump has been impeached for the second time 232-197, 4 abstained.  Ten Republicans joined in to impeach him.

Teresa wanted another wide-brimmed hat like the one she has but it doesn’t have any label on it. In Amazon I googled “womens summer hats” and darned if it didn’t show up on the first page. I ordered that and a couple other things for her. I was able to pay for the complete order using an accumulation of past gift cards.

We were going to meet James tomorrow morning for a go-away breakfast but he texted us that he wasn’t feeling well and he still has to pack. His flight to Lima, Peru leaves Friday, then in August he flies to Dallas for a visit.

Again, late afternoon the sun started creeping onto my desk area but then it got a little cloudy which saved me once again.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 3 games to 1.

We learned on the 7pm news that the government is enacting curfew and pico y cedula again. I’m not sure if the latter applies to Envigado though.

I finished reading David Edmonds’ Bobby Fischer Goes to War.
