Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, waking/getting up at 5:30.

I checked new Cine Colombia movie openings but there’s nothing of interest to me.

I went back to bed at 6:30 and slept until 8am.

I left the apt at 9:30 and walked to the mall where I recycled a few plastic bottles, printed my 2023 1099s in Auros, and withdrew 2,000,000 pesos from Davivienda. In CaFam pharmacy I bought another container of Exania medicine for my skin lesions for 61,700 pesos which previously cost me 48,500 pesos in Todo Drogas.

I bought a blueberry muffin in Starbucks and ate it with a latte in Urbania.

I left about 11am and stopped in Totto where I price checked 2 suitcases and 2 carry-ons for a total of 1,600,000 pesos ($410).

I picked up a few items in Exito before returning to the apt by taxi.

I don’t want to say more about what’s going on here but Laura has 11am medical massage appointments this week and next week so as long as this lasts I’ll be on my own for lunch.

I left the apt at 12:30 and took a Sabaneta bus for 3,200 pesos to Poblado. On the bus I met a gringo from Florida named Dario. (He’s Colombian but his parents took him to Florida when he was a year old.) He was on his way to Casino Rio, across the street from Premium Plaza mall, to play poker. At Sweet Georgia I exchanged my paperbacks for 2 others. For lunch I had blueberry pancakes and crispy bacon with coffee and an orange juice for 42mil.

I returned to Envigado by bus and since it was only 2 pm I had a latte in Los Porteños. I left at 3pm and bought 2 bags of milk on my way back to the apt.

I finished season 6 of The Crown (8.6) and I think that’s the end of the series.

For supper we ate pizza from Gloria’s except Laura who is still eating Jello.

The President’s State of the Union Address started about 9:27 and lasted about an hour and 7 minutes, but I watched the coverage from 8pm to 11pm.
