Finally, I got a good night’s sleep. I went to bed at 11pm, fell asleep quickly,
only got up once about 4 or 5am, fell back asleep quickly, woke up at 7am, fell
back asleep and woke/got up at 7:45.
I checked my 1099-Rs and found that the one missing is from
State Street (Sears) before they passed off the payment responsibility last
August to MetLife (Sears Holdings).
Hmmm! Maybe it’s at MBE.
I’ll
have to go there soon to see if they have an envelope for me.
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.
Jose informed me that he’s no longer available for his chess lesson
tomorrow. While I was finishing my
routine, an older man (not to mean older than me – lol) stopped by. His name is Glen or Glenn from Norway. He mentioned he’s thinking of retiring here
and he’s looking for a finca. I gave him
my “business card” and told him to email me and I would send him some
photos. Only thing is he said he would
want to put a swimming pool on the property.
I said with enough money you can do anything.
Back at the apt I updated Teresa on my plans for tomorrow
and my talk with Glen. Soon she received
a call from the guy interested in the finca.
At first it seemed he wanted Teresa to kick in a little more money
before swapping his apt for the finca.
When Teresa informed him she didn’t have any money he said he’s in love
with the finca and wants to go ahead with the trade anyway. Teresa said she’s going to go with Laura to
see the apt. I said I’m going too as I
can see the movie another day like tomorrow or Monday.
Among new US
Among local movies I would like to see Death Wish (6.7) playing at 3:20 at Santafe and Den of Thieves (7.1) playing at El
Tesoro at 2:10 and 5:30.
Well, it’s 7pm and we still haven’t left to see the
apartment. Obviously I could have gone
to the movies and gotten back in time.
Only now does Teresa tell me that all along we were going to visit the
apt in the evening.
Well, that never happened.
Laura returned from the gym at 9pm and we took a taxi to
Antica Pizza. This time I ordered
vegetarian pizza but asked to add chorizo Italiano (Italian sausage). What I got was salchicha (hot dog) slices. It was okay but Laura’s pizza with tocineta
(bacon) looked a lot better. Slices of pizza
for each of us and a drink came to about 42,000 pesos ($14). We quickly caught a taxi back to the apt and
were back by 10pm.
T-shirt of the day: Pop the bubbly. I’m getting a hobby.
