Last night in Chess
Magnet School I was
promoted to Admiral. There are only 3
higher titles I could be promoted to but I’m not sure if that’s feasible for
me. It’s going to take a lot of work.
I went to bed at 9:30 had great difficulty getting to sleep,
finally waking up at 6:40am.
I ran into Jhon at Los
Mejores where I had my usual breakfast, stopped at Likkes to request lunch be delivered at noon, had an orange juice
at Redd’s and was back at the
apartment by 8:30.
Olga arrived at 9am and was surprised to see all the plants
but didn’t like the fact I had the corn plant in the bedroom; something about
it being able to breathe. As far as I
know it breathes what we exhale, carbon dioxide, so it seems like it would like
being close to people. Maybe she means
it needs more fresh air. From what I can
see on the internet it likes indirect light better than direct light. But it is very dry! I gave it another container of water.
At one point I heard a small crash as Olga dropped the cover
to the fan. But she washed all the parts
and put it back together again. I also
had her wash all the pots the plants are in.
I think my luck with the ladies is changing – for the
better!
I got an answer from Yuri (42); she tried to give me her
cell phone number but AFA blocked it.
They require her first to review my profile, accept my next email using
their virtual address system and then they will give me her real email address. At least I think that’s how it works.
I also got a letter from Luz Amparo (55) with 2 new photos. They are a little distant but she looks nice. She recently traveled to Italy, Germany,
and the US. She lives alone in an apartment in the heart
of Medellin, is
currently working in another city but comes back each month. She wants to know if I will be in town for
Holy Week. I’m in town every week! Lol.
At least this time she told me more about herself.
I also have interest now from two local ladies through Latin
American Cupid.
Marcela, 48, from Envigado, Masters degree, self employed, 2
children older than 18 that don’t live at home, some English; 5’3”; 148#,
pretty face.
Patricia, 54, Medellin, middle school education, occupation
unknown, no children, some English, 5’5”, 155#, pretty face, 37-27-36, big
boobs.
Olga left at 1:15.
At 2:30 I caught a Circular 302 bus to Dr. Rendon’s
office. I was there 5 minutes early for
my 3:30 appointment. He cleaned my teeth
himself and the charge was 130mil. I had
a 20mil balance I owed him from my crowns and I paid him 100mil today so my
remaining balance is 50mil.
We decided to proceed every 2 months, starting in May,
fixing my teeth that have receding gums for 90mil each.
On my way to the FFSS I found the building with the
Opthamologist. I took the elevator up to
the 13th floor. Would you
believe her office number is 1313? She
wasn’t in but I made an appointment for Wednesday, April 9th at
3:30pm.
At Flip Flop Sandwich Shop I tried their BBQ chicken
sandwich and like everything else I’ve had there it was really good. I had it with a Colombiana for 13mil. That’s when I found out Colombiana just comes
in two types regular and diet.
Traffic was awful on the way back so I got off the bus just
down the hill from Dario’s building so I would arrive on time.
We spent an hour going through Dario’s Rosetta Stone
software – they would make decisions in English and I would try to repeat what
was said in Spanish and they would correct me.
Then we took turns and each person asked the next person a question in
English and they would have to answer in English. Of course, for my turn it was in Spanish.
I just finished writing return letters to Yuri and Luz
Amparo.
Unfortunately, Marcela and Patricia were not online tonight.
