Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 4:30, finally waking at 6:30 and getting up at 7am.
Teresa didn’t sleep well last
night so while she was having a quick
nap I had a bowl of granola.
Outside at the old Exito I
saw a man speaking to 9 other men in hardhats. Then they started up the
generator again.
Jose texted me that he and Maria
have doctor’s appointments next Tuesday so we won’t be playing chess.
I checked each of my bank
accounts and no SS deposit. I logged into My Social Security and saw this
message, “Your benefits payments are suspended because your mailing address or
payment information is incorrect. Please review and update this information in
My Profile. Last payment: November 3, 2022.”
Another message said, “Current direct deposit: Citibank,
Account Number x8272” but my account ends with 8271 and I haven’t used Citibank
for my SS deposits in years. It also said, “Pending direct deposit: USAA” with
my correct routing number and account number but, “Effective Date: January
2023.”
I met Marcos at Maca for coffee. 700 steps thus far
including fritzing around my apt.
After he left I walked to Mayorista. I found a short cut, a
corner entrance so I don’t have to go through the main entrance. Maca to
Badia counted as 2,000 steps so I’m going to get my share of steps and
vitamin D today.
In Badia I bought their 3 remaining large boxes (25
count) of chamomile tea (they gave me a 10% discount) and 2 small boxes (10
count). Teresa wanted a bottle of ajo (garlic) and I found it in powder (3
sizes) and flakes (1 size). I called her and of course she didn’t answer so I
took a small bottle of powdered ajo. She called me back as the cashier was
ringing up the order. She didn’t want either of those, she wanted a glass
bottle of minced garlic in olive oil.
I paid for it all for the first time with my new USAA credit
card with no problem.
On my way out of the wholesale market I saw an eco-store
selling candles. I bought one for 5,300 pesos. Next Halloween I intend to carve
a pumpkin and put this candle inside. I walked back to the apt and my total
step count is now 5,360.
I looked online and saw my USAA credit card balance is
reported separately so I started another Excel file to keep track of it.
I called Social Security and after a 45-minute wait I got my
deposit request fixed just before we got disconnected. The rep thought I get my
deposits on the 4th Wednesday of the month and I’ve always gotten
them on the 1st to 3rd of the month. Go figure!
A dump truck filled with sand just backed in next door and dumped
it all in front; I guess there’s going to be some building going on.
I chatted with someone at Amazon about the device I bought
for Teresa that doesn’t work and he said they give me a full credit.
I left the apt at 3:15 and had a latte and bought a pan sano
to go in Parva.
Amazon credited my account with a gift card for the total
amount. 😊
I finished season 2 of Better Call Saul. Great
series!
There was a knock at the door and it was a portero with our Tigo/Une
bill. It’s for the same 103mil with Teresa’s name on it so that answers one
question I had. I guess I’ll have to wait next month for a bill with my name on
it.
The downpour started about 8pm.
Today I got in 7,096 steps, a new record.
It was still raining heavily when I went to bed at 10pm.
