Today is Laura’s 20th birthday!
Happy Labor Day to those of you back in the States.
Last night I took 2 sleeping pills and went to bed at
10:45. I fell asleep quickly, got up
once during the night, fell back asleep quickly, woke up at 5am feeling good,
heard Laura leave at 5:30, Teresa got up a few minutes later and I finally got
up at 6:30.
Teresa left at 7:30.
She has to go to Caldas to buy “paper” for the roof, have it delivered
and monitor the work that’s being done.
I think she’ll be going to the finca every day for this week and most of
next to observe the work on the roof.
I finally got around to trying to fix the light switch in
the guest bathroom. I removed the switch
in the 3rd bathroom that we just use for storage and found a little
piece of plastic that’s missing in the other so I just switched switches. Got that?
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and then left for the gym. For the second time I saw a blind guy working
out there. Someone would guide him to a
machine; he would put his hands on their shoulders and walk in step behind
them. Nice looking guy. I did all my exercises in an hour and 55
minutes.
Chuck came over at 12:30 and we went down the hill to Deli Hoy. He really liked the lunch, so much that he plans
to bring his wife there.
After a nice lunch we walked over to Exito where Chuck bought a couple plastic storage boxes, a package
of low wattage light bulbs and a small umbrella. I suddenly felt like my eyes were going to
fall out of my head so I took half of an Excedrin Migraine and they quickly
felt better.
We walked up to the park and stopped at Bartollo’s Bar where he had a tinto and I tried their limonada de
coco. It was pretty good – I gave it a 7
compared to Ay Caramba’s 10.
I mentioned to Chuck that we’re fixing up the finca and then
Teresa wants to sell it. He mentioned
that his British friend John, that I met last Saturday, has been actively
looking for a finca. I gave Chuck one of
my “business” cards to give him next time he sees him.
In a day or 2 Chuck’s wife will be going to Cali
Unless I hear otherwise we’re going to meet at my apartment
tomorrow (with his wife) at 12:30 and go down the hill to Deli Hoy for lunch. We’ll
include Laura if she gets back in time.
I received an email (surprisingly in near perfect English)
from the “new” MBE location that I have a document waiting for pickup. I’ll wait until the 2nd one
appears which should be in a few days.
Teresa left at 7pm for a 7:15 class at the gym and returned
at 8:30. Laura came home a little later
as I understand she was celebrating her birthday with her friends.
T-shirt of the day: The more people I meet the more I like
my dog.
