Last night I went to bed at 10:15, at 10:30 it started raining and I put a blanket over my sheet, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 4am, couldn’t fall back asleep but was awakened by my 6:30 alarm so maybe I got another hour towards the end.
According to my Fitbit, I got in 5,063 steps yesterday and
last night I slept for 5 hours and 4 minutes. So far, I feel okay.
I took a Didi to Unicentro mall for 14,300 pesos. I arrived
20 minutes early (should have known when the ride was so cheap) so I walked
twice around the mall. When it opened I went upstairs and took our usual table.
Jose joined me a few minutes later. We both had the French toast and I had remembered
to bring my maple syrup. This time I also made sure my bottle of water was “sin
gas” (uncarbonated).
We moved to the food court and I had the Black pieces in the
first game. He quickly got the advantage and checkmated me on the 20th
move. ☹
I had the White pieces in the second game and quickly got an
advantage. On his 43rd move he blundered his rook and quickly
resigned. Actually, we had a disagreement. He moved his rook to where I could
capture it, let go of it, realized his mistake and wanted to move it somewhere
else. He agreed he had let go of it but he claimed it was still his turn since
he hadn’t pressed the clock. I consulted ChatGPT who had this explanation:
Since I want to get my ride as early as possible I certainly
don’t want to wait for his clock to run out. I think we settled things before I
left.
It was just before 1pm when we finished and I ordered a Didi
to take me to Viva Envigado for 18,400 pesos. Most drivers are aggressive but
mine was very timid and almost made me nauseous because he used the accelerator
for braking. ☹ I saw this interesting US
Army jeep
Which I think I’ve seen here before.
I found Sarku full so I continued on to Pergamino
where I had their granola with yogurt and fruits.
Downstairs I paid for the apt and other first of the month
bills. I made an ATM withdrawal then went down to Urbania and had a latte.
I left at 4pm and picked up some groceries in Exito before
returning to the apt by taxi.
I watched some news, did my pre-sleep reading and went to
bed at 9:30. Tonight for the first time I reduced my zopiclone to ¾ tablet.
We’ll see how that affects my sleep.
