Recovery Day #135!
Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up at 3am,
couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 3:30, did some work on my computer and
went back to bed at 4:30, took a few minutes to fall back asleep, woke up at 6:30,
did my Kegel exercises and got up at 6:45.
Jack: Btw, the carrot cake from last night was
delicious but Teresa considered it too sweet and only had one bite, so I had to
finish it. I was a little concerned about drinking coffee that late (I’m pretty
sure it wasn’t decaf, lol) and then being able to sleep but it turned out not
to be a problem.
I left the apt at 8:15 and met Glenn at the gas
station. We caught a taxi to Poblado and walked down to Hija Mia. As we
entered, I saw a couple guys with a closed chess set. Glenn had scrambled eggs
and bacon; he’s still trying to figure out how to ask for it crispy. I
recommended he ask for it crujiente. I had their banana bread waffle again.
After Glenn left, I introduced myself to the guys
(Andrew, Tyler, and Jorge) and I played 3 games with Arthur; I won all three fairly
easily.
I took a Didi car to El Tesoro mall where I met Teresa
in Zara. She bought a blouse and, despite my protestations, a pair of
jeans. I don’t mind jeans with a little flare at the bottom, but I can’t stand
this fashion of wide jeans from waist to cuff. Ugh!
We had lunch in Natto Bowls and I had the Hong
Kong bowl again and we split a Te Hatsu. (I don’t like these teas so in the future
I’ll probably just have water.)
We met Vicky outside Zara and they did some
more shopping. I had coffee in Santa Leña and when they returned they
had sodas with lemon juice. Vicky’s English is pretty good and we had several conversations.
When it was time to leave Vicky offered to give us a
ride to Oviedo which we accepted. We walked to the movie theater and as she led
us down to the S1 parking area we discovered a MerkePaisa grocery store
with a large, interesting café. (There might be some interesting places to
explore down in these sub basements.) At Oviedo, with the help of a security
guard, we quickly caught a taxi to Envigado. Traffic was heavy leading me to
believe we would have been better off leaving from El Tesoro so we could get
further south before coming down to backed up Ave. Poblado. At one point I
asked if Monday was a holiday and when Teresa said “no” I said, “isn’t every
Monday a holiday in Colombia” and the driver got a good chuckle.
I received another response from Didi after I asked
how to cancel a trip from my app (again translated from Spanish):
I inform you that so
that you can cancel your request, once the member has accepted the tour and
after 20 minutes I did not arrive or you could not take the request, you can slide
the screen up, you will find an icon that says "cancel" click , a list of reasons why you could
not take the request will be displayed, you select one of them and at the
bottom you confirm the cancellation. Remember that you can cancel for free in the
first 5 minutes after the service has been accepted by one of our partners, or
20 minutes after waiting for the driver. If for any
reason you cannot wait the 20 minutes, contact us so we can collaborate.
It didn’t exactly answer my question but I think I
figured it out.
I had purchased a can of Glade but the drops
don’t dissipate in the air, they just rain down on you. ☹
