At the health club I increased my treadmill time to 16 minutes.  I weighed myself but I’m still 77.5 kilos.

Coming back from the health club I saw a guy in a wheelchair on the sidewalk across the street.  A girl was measuring the width of the sidewalk and he was writing it on a clipboard.  I guess he was checking out the sidewalks and how wide they are and need to be.

I left the apt at 12:30, stopped at the tourist bureau and found it closed (why did I even check, I knew it was closed from noon to 1pm) and then stopped in the Exito near the highway.  I heard a slow version of Jingle Bells as I walked down the aisle.  What?  In July?  I walked right past the shelf where I had seen jars and jars of dill pickle chips but now they had jars and jars of Safeway’s Sweet Relish.  I looked for a can of Planters Peanuts but they weren’t where I had seen them before either.  I asked a girl working there and eventually found that they don’t have either of them anymore.  Instead I bought a can of Colombian salted peanuts for 6,900.

I walked to the metro and took it to Hospital Station and walking to Dario’s store I bought 2 500ml bottles of slightly cool Coke.

Finally I won the right to start with the white pieces but he won the first game.  I won the 2^nd and we only had 20 minutes left so I put 10 minutes on each clock and I barely won the last game with seconds to spare.

Back at the Envigado Exito I heard Jingle Bells again.  I picked up a couple packages of presliced Cheddar cheese, another bag of nacho chips and a large bag of coconut granola.

Teresa and I finished the 1^st bottle of medium hot Salsa and once again couldn’t get the 2^nd bottle open.  One of my readers recommended we put it upside down with the top in some boiling water.  We tried that but it still wouldn’t open.  Finally, Teresa took a butter knife and pried the top up enough to pop up the button on top and we were able to open it easily.  I guess that releaved the vacuum pressure.

Teresa wants to go to Nueva eps early tomorrow to see if we can get our medical tests done cheaper so I set the alarm – her idea – for 7am.  I also have to pay the utility bills and buy my medicine for the month.

T-shirt of the day: I do not care at all.
