Friday, September 22, 2017

Last night I took 2 sleeping pills at 10:30 and went to bed.  I fell asleep quickly and only got up once during the night, finally waking at 6am and getting up at 6:30.

I received 3 emails from Apple.  It appears someone used my account to find my home address using Find My iPhone so I changed my Apple Id password.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.  It’s been 6 months since my last weigh-in so I had another today.  I’m 76.6 kilos, down 3.4 kilos or 7 ½#.  Not bad.  I did all my exercises in an hour and 45 minutes.

On my way back to the apt I ran into Alan; long time no see.  While we chatted in the shade of the doorway of the new Claro office an old man came up to sell us something.  He touched my arm and I understood it was something to aid muscle growth.  I told him I drink protein powder.  He then opened a vial and had each of us sniff it.  It smelled like Vicks Vaporub.  I pointed at my private parts and asked him if I put it there.  At first he said “si” and then he laughed and gave me a fist bump and walked away.  Then a young Colombian man stopped and talked to us about tutoring him in English but I explained that we’re pensionados and not allowed to work in Colombia.  I invited him to sit and talk with us anytime he sees us in Parque Envigado.

Teresa is still a little under the weather so I walked down to Deli Hoy where I had lunch alone.

I took a nap from 3:30 to 4:15; Teresa spent most of the day in bed.
Among new US movie releases I would like to see Stronger (7.5) and The Tiger Hunter 5.3).

Locally, I would like to see American Made (7.3) playing at 5pm in Oviedo and It (8.0) playing at El Tesoro, Oviedo, and Santafe.

At 5:30 it started raining, not hard, just enough to inconvenience everyone.  About 6:30 it started coming down harder with thunder and lightning, finally lessening about 7:30.

Teresa got a call from Laura, who was helping take care of MT, that now she’s got stomach problems.

I finished Michael Connelly’s The Closers: Harry Bosch Series #11 and then downloaded James Essinger’s The Mating Game

At 9:30 Teresa sent me out to the pharmacy for 3 bottles of Pedialyte – I’m guessing to prevent dehydration.  The first 3 stores I tried were closed but I remembered seeing one open 24 hours across the street from the bus stop.

I took 2 sleeping pills and went to bed at 10:15.  It soon started raining again.

  1. Just curious, Terry... Why does it occasionally happen that there is a HUGE, long vertical gap in one of your blog posts?

    Today in the middle of paragraph 7 (the one about movies) we had to scroll way down-down-down, about six miles past an expanse of all white screen, to get to the second half of that paragraph and to the rest of the post?

    I only notice this happening once in a great while, so I'm wondering whether it's a glitch in the blog's programming, or ... ? Any clues?

    [Inquiring minds want to know...]

    Cheers!

    1. Again. Yes it happens once in awhile - rarely. If I could remember the Alt+ key combination to turn on the special/hidden characters i could probably see and then delete the one that's causing the problem. Any ideas?
