Today is April Fool’s Day.
Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once and
again I was sweating on my sheet. Teresa replaced it and I was soon feeling
better. I even added my blanket later. I got up twice more before being
awakened by my alarm at 7:30.
Still no wifi. I recycled the router and internet
returned a few minutes later.
I left about 10:30 and bought 2 4-packs of Advil
in the Pasteur pharmacy. I had a café con leche in Parva for 70 minutes
while completing the “easy” section of my tactics book. When I left, I could
see a backhoe digging in the street. It’s pretty obvious their first task is to
replace (add?) sewer lines in the street.
For the past few days I’ve struggled to come up with
the word manhole cover. I know it’s been a while since I’ve used the word. The
best I came up with was sewer cover.
I stopped at Eduardo Madrid and inquired about
English muffins. None today. I asked if they never have them or sometimes. I
didn’t understand her answer. We both went into translators on our phones and I
understood I have to order them. In the meantime, a man came out who spoke
English. I ordered 6 muffins to be
picked up tomorrow. In the future I can order them via Whatsapp and they will
be ready the next day.
I texted Daniela at Inter-Col and inquired
about renewing my passport which expires this October.
It has been quite cool here of late, like mid- to
upper 70s. I’ve been wearing shoes around the apt to insulate my feet from the
cold tile floor. Today I took additional steps. Because my hands have been so cold,
I put on my fingerless gym gloves. Also, my daughter had gifted me a “cooling”
pillowcase that I’ve been using for the past month or so. Today I wised up and
switched it to a regular one.
Daniela finally answered and informed me I could start
my passport renewal process at Inter-Col next week. She sent me an email
with the following requirements:
Pasaporte original.
Dos fotos con medida 2X2 pulgadas (51X51 mm) , la medida desde la barbilla a la parte superior de la cabeza es de 25-35 mm. La foto debe ser reciente con tiempo de

So, it looks like I have to go for a passport photo
before I go to Inter-col.
More discomfort in my surgical sites than usual today.
Teresa informed me that Mother Teresa invited someone
she had just met on the street to her apt for lunch. She informed Teresa she’s
a good judge of character. 😊
I tried ordering ribs from Mu but they don’t
reopen until next Friday.
Just realized tomorrow is Saturday so I can get my
passport photo tomorrow in the mall and then go to Inter-Col early
Monday.
I googled causes of hip pain and one was
osteoarthritis. I’m going to take an additional calendula flower capsule every
day for a while.
Teresa is taking MT to a cardiologist appointment
early tomorrow, so I’ll probably have granola for breakfast then go to the
mall.
