Last night I went to bed at 10:15, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3am, woke up at 7:15, did my Kegel exercises, and got up.

Well, the alarm didn’t go off at 7am so I guess that worked.

I left the apt at 9:30 and ran into Glenn at Los Porteños. He started a pinocle game while I made a quick trip to Pasteur pharmacy where I bought a 10-pack of MPs for 23,977 and a box of 20 25-mg tablets of Hidroxicina for 3,836 pesos. (I made the mistake of buying the more absorbent MPs, the Tena Noche instead of Tena Dia.)

Glenn told me about his difficulties getting a urologist appointment through his Sura insurance. I told him about Nightmare Alley and all the actors I recognized from other movies.

He left and I stopped to buy milk at the little grocery on my way back to the apt.

Well, I lost the 3^rd of those 3 games in 80 moves to the Russian so I had 1 win and 2 losses with the Black pieces. I was winning that game until I blundered on the 48^th move.

Colombia vs Peru started at 4pm. You don’t have to watch the match (game) to know how they are doing. The neighborhood will tell you. You just listen for the Goooooooal! You can even tell when they come close to a goal but don’t score. You can hear it. It was pretty quiet as Peru won 1-0.

We had a short rainstorm come through about 4:30.

I watched 13 Hours (7.3) on MTV.

Teresa had something to exchange in Viva Envigado so about 6:30 Teresa she left with Laura. They then called me and I took a Didi car and met them with MT at Antica Pizza.

Laura had pasta and the rest of us had a slice of pizza. The total came to 74mil ($19).

We were back at the apt by 8:45.

I was using my TENS 3000 unit and like the past couple days I didn’t feel anything on a higher setting (6-7). The battery soon died so now I know it’s not because I wasn’t placing the electrodes in the wrong place.
