Last night I fell asleep quickly, slept through the night, finally waking/getting up at 5:45am.

According to my Fitbit, got in 5,806 steps yesterday and last night slept for 7 hours and 27 minutes for a sleep score of 84, with a sleep efficiency of 97%. 😊

I had a nap after breakfast.

I left the apt at 9am and found Smartfit not very busy. I completed my workout without having to change the order of my routine.

I had a latte in Los Porteños until 11am then returned to the apt. (On the way back I found a 1mil coin on the curb and gave it to the guy in the street working the Tienda D1 parking lot.)

Teresa left at 2;30 to meet Rosemary and I left a few minutes later and had a Coke (too warm today for coffee) in Gardenia until 5pm when I returned to the apt.

I watched the news about “FAA Issues Nationwide Ground Stop for all Flights”.  It looks like the only flights taking off are those leaving the US. About 8 pm there was so much buffering I couldn’t watch it anymore on any channel. It sounds like the problem was due to making a software update to an antiquated system,

I finished reading Alexander McCall Smith’s The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Eh!

Last night I fell asleep quickly, got up once at midnight, finally waking/getting up at 5am.

According to my Fitbit, got in 4,878 steps yesterday and last night slept for 5 hours and 23 minutes for a sleep score of 67, with a sleep efficiency of 85%. 😊

I had a 47-minute nap after breakfast.

Since I can buy 70cm x 100cm poster board in Panamericana, I took a blank piece of typing paper and diagramed how I’m going to cut two of them and tape them together to make an 88cm x 88cm poster board to attach my genealogy chart to.

I looked ahead and saw a near future episode of Seal Team has them in Venezuela so I started watching the series again.

I had a latte in Gardenia for a couple hours but Marcos never showed.

I left the apt at 2:30, waited 5 minutes outside Smartfit for a Sabaneta bus. I got off outside Panamericana where I found 2 70cm x 100cm poster boards for 22,400 pesos. I ordered a Didi to return me to the apt and I arrived by 3:30.

Teresa left at 5:15 for her 5:30 gym class.

I drew a game in 54 moves vs Chesswiz98, lowering my rating to 1560.

I left the apt at 6:20 in my hiking pants and t-shirt and took a seat at a cement table outside Blue’ Smash Brgr. Teresa arrived 10 minutes later and we moved inside. She had her usual chicken burger and I the one patty Fancy burger and a Coke. We shared an order of fries and the total check came to 86,450 pesos including tip.

We returned to the apt and I started my pre-sleep reading routine finally going to bed at 10pm.

Last night I fell asleep quickly, got up once at 11:30, finally waking/getting up at 5:30.

According to my Fitbit, got in 4,256 steps yesterday and last night slept for 7 hours and 24 minutes for a sleep score of 86, with a sleep efficiency of 97%. 😊

Today is Veterans Day in the US; Thank you to all the veterans who have served.

I had a 53-minute nap after breakfast.

I left the apt at 9am and found Smartfit not very busy. I completed my workout without interruption, minus the treadmill.

As usual I bought a banana (to combat leg cramps) in La Buena Mesa and had a latte in Los Porteños.

Teresa texted me asking me to pick up carrots and lettuce in Ara. I stopped there but they didn’t have plastic bags for the loose carrots so I bought a pre-packaged bag of small carrots but only realized it included 2 beets at checkout.

I downloaded ChatGPT to my laptop but when I went to open it (after successfully signing in) I encountered this screen

But have no idea what it means. Do any of my readers have any advice?

We left the apt at 2:30 and Teresa headed to her crafts class while I stopped at the Bancolombia window and printed yesterday’s chess games. I continued on to Los Porteños where I had a latte while solving another set of 11 puzzles, getting 6 wrong. ☹

I left at 6pm and returned to the apt and Teresa returned an hour later.

The AP has called the Mississippi Senate race for the Democrat giving them a total of 55 seats, with Alaska still undecided.

I gave up watching Seal Team (season 5, episode 8) and watched the movie Unabomber on Netflix.

Last night I fell asleep quickly, got up once at 4:30 (another cramp unless I dreamt it 😊), finally waking/getting up by alarm at 6:30.

According to my Fitbit, got in 8,220 steps yesterday and last night slept for 7 hours and 32 minutes for a sleep score of 84, with a sleep efficiency of 94%. 😊

I ordered a Didi t take me to Unicentro mall. The app said it would be 3 minutes to my pickup. I headed down to the porteria and I noticed the route they had set to pick me up including going north on Carrera 44A but that road was changed to southbound only a few weeks ago. I saw the car on GPS stop at that intersection then the driver cancelled the trip and I had to wait 7 minutes for another. ☹

I arrived at Unicentro mall just as it was opening so I bought a banana and headed up to the restaurant.

I still got a table before Jose arrived as he usually stops at the ATM.

We discussed the Bears

NFC North Standings

And this is the Bears remaining schedule for 2026

politics, and chess and had breakfast and moved to the food court.

I lost the first game in 41 moves and he checkmated me in 26 moves in the second. ☹

I ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado and I was sitting in Pergamino eating a bowl of yogurt, granola and fruits by 1pm.

I went down to Urbania and had a latte for a couple hours.

I stopped in Exito and bought apples and navel oranges and a 6-pack of Coke and returned to the apt by taxi.

I watched some news and the 40’ version of Sunday’s Bears game.

Last night I got to bed at midnight, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 1:30, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

According to my Fitbit, got in 5,925 steps yesterday and last night slept for 4 hours and 49 minutes for a sleep score of 67, with a sleep efficiency of 97%. 😊

I was awakened at 6:30 by a left calf cramp; it’s been a while since I’ve had one of those.

Teresa left at 9am to take her mother to Bancolombia to take out some cash and probably reinvest the remainder.

I was right behind her and completed my workout in a not very busy Smartfit. I bought my usual banana for a mil (she was out but kindly had saved one for me) and had a latte in Los Porteños for an hour before returning to the apt.

Teresa texted me at 12:30 that she was in La Bahia but I begged off.

I left the apt at 1pm and walked to Blue’ Smash Brgr where I had the double patty Fancy burger (in the future one patty is sufficient) with fries and a Coke for 42,150 pesos.

I returned to the apt, change clothes and took a Didi to Clinica Campestre. I told the security guard I don’t speak much Spanish but I had an appointment with Dr. Ricardo Restrepo. He guided me to the elevators and up to the 3^rd floor and presented me to a receptionist. I gave her my cedula and she registered the information in their system and had me take a seat.

I was asked inside about 30 minutes after my appointment time and I was with the doctor for about 40 minutes. I learned: my weight is 182#, my blood pressure is 122/76, my heart and lungs sound fine and the doctor’s father lives in our apt complex.

He gave me an order for 4 months of zopiclona and wrote another for the same blood test as I just had that I can use next May for my appointment with Dr. Castaño.

The appointment cost me 345,000 pesos and I walked to Carulla market in Sao Paulo but they didn’t have the Kraft relish I’m looking for (only a 3-pak including mustard and ketchup and I certainly don’t need more mustard).

I walked back to the apt.

Teresa returned and gave me 9,900,000 pesos all in 50s so I’m square with her (she owed me exactly 9,300,000 pesos so I guess the rest was voluntary interest).

I watched the first quarter of the Bills vs Vikings game then started my reading before going to bed at my usual 10pm. (The Vikings lost so now the Bears are in first place by ½ a game.)

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:15, finally waking at 6:15 and getting up at 6:45.

According to my Fitbit, got in 6,212 steps yesterday and last night slept for 7 hours and 37 minutes for a sleep score of 82, with a sleep efficiency of 88%. 😊

It’s a very overcast day so I would say our trip to El Retiro as of now is questionable.

I took a 42-minute nap and when I got up Teresa informed me, she wanted to go to 3pm mass in El Retiro.

I put on my hiking pants with a short sleeve button down shirt and my jacket.

We left at 11:15 and took a Didi to Exposiciones station. Our driver was Monica and it didn’t take long for Teresa to discover she had family in Puerto Rico and Austin, Texas. I guess Teresa said something about Chicago because Monica said she was in Chicago last June and it’s the most beautiful city she’s ever seen. I soon found out she speaks a little English and learned she stayed with a girlfriend in Chicago.

We soon were on a bus to El Retiro a trip of about 90 minutes. On the way I realized I forgot to shave today. 😊

We walked up to Lomo Fino where we had our usual lunch which cost 129,000 pesos ($40). Teresa wanted to explore the area a bit and we found next-door restaurants that were Peruvian and then Italian.

We found a hotel a block away – El Ensueño – that cost $100 a night but was nothing special. A half block away we found a nicer hotel for about the same price – La Pasada del Laguan – that we checked out (it was empty) but when we went to put a deposit for December 23^rd to January 2^nd, they were booked. ☹

It was just 4 minutes to 3pm so Teresa headed to church and I went down to Café El Retiro where I had a latte and slice of carrot cake. Teresa returned just before 4pm and had a dish of ice cream with coffee and bought a bag of their coffee beans to go. The check for everything came to 99,600 pesos and I paid in cash.

We walked down to the bus station and got on the next bus back to Medellin followed by a taxi back to our apt.

I ate the orange I bought yesterday so now I know navel oranges are back. 😊 I guess their season (these are from Chile) extends from about early November to mid-June. I understand they are good for my kidney stones so I’ll be buying more of them.

Teresa talked to her mother and learned she is very sad because she’s deaf in one ear and only 30% hearing in the other and she’s too old for surgery.

The Bears vs Tampa Bay game was a late 8:20 start so I had my popcorn and Coke early. Caleb Williams seldom makes interceptions but tonight he had 3 in the first half but the defense bailed him out each time and the Bears led 17-6 at halftime.

Teresa showed me the Bancolombia letter about the maturity of MT’s CD. It was XX million pesos and after she repays me the 10 million pesos loan that will only leave her XX million pesos. So, paying for her hearing aids was a significant portion of her assets.

Caleb was intercepted again in the second half but the Bears eventually prevailed on a last second field goal 27-24. 😊

Last night I went to bed at 10pm (drizzling lightly), fell asleep quickly, got up once at 2:45 (still drizzling), read from 3:15 to 4am (still drizzling), finally waking/getting up at 6:45 (no more rain).

According to my Fitbit, got in 5,903 steps yesterday and last night slept for 6 hours and 14 minutes for a sleep score of 71, with a sleep efficiency of 72%. 😊

I left the apt at 9am, walked to Viva Envigado and was surprised that at 9:20am Urbania wasn’t open

so I went up a level and had a latte in Santa Leña.

I left at 11am, bought a few groceries in Exito and returned to the apt by taxi.

At 12:15 we took a Didi to Arkadia mall. Some of these drivers I have no idea how to pronounce their name, like today’s, Eusebio.

We had lunch in Crepes & Waffles and this time I paid in cash. We went across the street to a busy Pricesmart where we bought 942,623 pesos ($292) of groceries, including some things I already have but don’t know if I’m going to find them in the future. Still, I didn’t find Planters Crunchy Peanut Butter, Glide floss, Bisquick, or Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage.

We returned to the apt by taxi in a light drizzle.

Teresa wanted to watch a movie so I put on The End of Oak Street (6.2) on Stremio which at least had a lot of action.
