Among this week’s new movie releases I would like to see The Magnificent Seven (7.2), Queen of Katwe (6.7) and, I’m a little late choosing this one, Southside With You (6.7).  Locally, The Magnificent Seven (7.2) is playing at Oviedo (2pm) and Santafe (5:10pm).

At the health club I figured out it’s to my advantage to work on the weight machines while most of the ladies are in the noon exercise class and then 5 minutes before they finish switch to my favorite treadmill.  I was still there for more than 90 minutes today.

After lunch I took a 90 minute nap; I was exhausted.

I found the website for the Federal Benefits Unit of the US Embassy in Bogota, Colombia.  https://bogota.usembassy.gov/service/federal-benefits.html  I asked Teresa if her mother already has a SS card.  She called her and she came over.  I understand she has a card but doesn’t have her number memorized so she’ll have to look through some papers for it.  To be continued!

I received an email from Cook County Elections informing me how to vote in the General Election.  I have to mail my vote back postmarked by November 8^th and it must be received by November 22^nd.  I’d better get started on that!

The ladies accompanied mother Teresa back to her apartment and came back with 4 bags of clothes.  Most still had the price tags on them.  Teresa asked me why they were so inexpensive – like $10.  I told her that’s because no one else wanted to buy them so they lowered the price until they sold it.

They gave me an envelope with MT’s (mother Teresa) papers; hopefully I can find some SS information in there but I’m going to wait until tomorrow to go through it.

I finished Ken Follett’s Night over Water and downloaded Bill O’Reilly’s Killing the Rising Sun: How America Vanquished World War II Japan.

T-shirt of the day: The endless summer.
