Monday, March 21, 2022

Exactly one month since my hernia surgery.

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up at 2am and 6am, finally waking and getting up at 7:45.

The soreness behind my left knee is a little better. Better to rest it or give it a little exercise? One wonders.

(Replying to Wanna move’s comment: You hit the nail on the head!)

Teresa just told me our plans for the day: breakfast at home, Arkadia, lunch there, then Pricesmart. We don’t want to leave too early because 1) the stores don’t open until 10am, 2) we don’t want to have lunch too early.

Very interesting MSN interview with Artis Pabriks, the Latvian Defense Minister. (I agree completely.)

We left the apt at 10:30 via Didi – 8,369 pesos to Arkadia mall. Surprisingly, Ciclovia was in progress. Then I noticed café Maca was closed, traffic was lighter than usual, and no construction was in progress near the Aguacatala station. It was confirmed at the mall when, at 10:50, stores were not yet open. Today must be a holiday.

Teresa bought a pair of gym leggings at Under Armour.

For lunch we went up to Crepes & Waffles. I was looking forward to trying their iced tea that someone on FB recommended. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed in because Teresa forgot to bring her vaccination card. (She spent about 15 minutes with an employee trying to find some online record of it.)

We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant Wajaca. They had a lemon iced tea which wasn’t anything special but it was the best part of my chicken fajitas meal.

After, Teresa bought 2 gym t-shirts at Tienda 10.

I told her I was sore and she responded we would return home and go shopping at Pricesmart another day. (Plus, she had just talked to her niece and they are going to meet later.)

We quickly caught a taxi back to the apt for 14,500 pesos.

Teresa first called someone else and cancelled a meeting with her. Then she talked to her niece who was too tired and cancelled meeting with her. 😊

About 3:15 it started raining.

Today is Dia de San Jose (St. Joseph’s Day).


Leading Russian chess grandmaster Sergey Karjakin has been suspended from playing for six months for publicly supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the game's world governing body FIDE announced Monday.

I used Google Maps and found the grade school I went to then moved across the street where I found the house where I first learned to play chess at the age of 13.

I received the following notification from USAA, “We are pleased to inform you that the temporary credit of $512.78 including any applicable interest and fees are now permanent. We appreciate your patience during the investigation of this matter. No further action is needed on your part.” Good news and now it’s official!

I finished reading John Grisham’s Gray Mountain.

 

The New York Times’ 7-day average of new daily infections and deaths has the US with 29,715 ð 29,905 ð 29,612 new cases and 1,127 ð 1,102 ð 1,055 new deaths.

Per Medellin Guru, as of yesterday, Colombia has a total of 693 ð 542 ð 508 newly reported cases with 19 ð 18 ð 19 newly reported deaths.
