Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

Teresa was already gone.

I returned the empty cube tray to the freezer and turned it back on. I’ll repeat this every 2 months or so as a preventative measure.

My envelope arrived in Chicago at 4:24am this morning.

I have a split nail that only plit worse last week when I helped Teresa put a fitted sheet on a bed. Since then, every few days I put a drop of Super Glue on it to hold it together.

Oops I messed up; I scheduled breakfast with Glenn today forgetting this is a gym day. So, I did a few exercises using my 7# dumbbell.

I left the apt at 8:30 and walked to Sao Paulo Plaza where I tried checking Teresa’s balance in her Bancolombia account.

If I understand correctly they want me to pay to view the balance? I cancelled the transaction.

Glenn with Bianca were waiting for me and when I explained my Bancolombia problem, he suggested I try their website. (Later I did and the Spanish was too overwhelming.) Glenn is happy with Youtube TV for $73 a month. I have to check it out and see if it can replace my Direct TV. Today I had pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and a latte for 42mil. I left at 10:30 and returned to the apt.

I had quite a bit of leaking but not as bad a yesterday. I hate to say it but I’ll probably have to start doing my Kegel Exercises again. Not that they are painful, just uncomfortable.

My envelope was delivered to the Cook County clerk at 11am.

We have the first few ice cubes but we’ll need the weight of more before the ice crusher will work.

I left the apt at 12:15 and took a Didi to the mall. I noticed Starbucks has now expanded in the back to the space previously occupied by the restrooms.

It's back where you see the bright light.

I bought a preferred seating ticket to Superman for 8mil. I mistakenly thought the movie started at 1:05 but it started at 1:30.

I had some time to kill so I went to Bancolombia and checked Teresa’s Bancolombia account and found she has 104,493 pesos. And it didn’t cost me anything.

I took the receipt and returned to Cine Colombia. After I sat down I couldn’t find the debit card. I checked my fanny pack several times but it wasn’t there. I returned to Bancolombia and it wasn’t in the ATM. I went inside the bank and the lady that monitors the turn machine had a Bancolmbia card in her hand. Using my translator, I told her I left my debit card in an ATM 5 minutes ago. She led me to an associate who asked me for my name. I gave her Teresa’s name and she confirmed something and the 1^st lady took me out to the ATM, put the debit card in and asked me to enter the password. I did, she printed the balance and compared it to my receipt and handed over the card.

I returned to Cine Colombia and I still had some time to kill. Fifteen minutes before the scheduled start time I made my last trip to the restroom then got my free Platinum popcorn and bought a large soda. There were only about 8 other people in the theater. The movie was good although sad.

I went down to Urbania and had a latte. I left at 4pm and went up to Pergamino but all tables were taken. I had a BBQ roast beef combo sandwich in Only Roastbeef for 33mil. I went downstairs and got in a short line for a taxi was back in the apt by 6pm.

Terresa returned at 7pm and I learned she was at a water park in Santafe de Antioquia named Kanoloa. She also recommended we visit a pueblo named Carolina del Principe on one of our day trips.
