Last night I fell asleep quickly and woke up once during the night although I didn’t get up finally waking/getting up at 7am.

I had some dream about bathing at home then I’m at work wandering around trying to find my desk when I realize that I’m retired and why am I here anyway?  I leave and I’m looking for my car.  That’s it.  Is it because of my noise app that I’m now having/remembering dreams?

Teresa is meeting a woman at Aymará for breakfast.

I texted Chuck asking if he wanted to meet for coffee this afternoon.

I left the apt at 9:45 and completed all my exercises at the gym in an hour and 45 minutes.

Back at the apt Teresa called and asked me to meet her at the Chiclayo Cocina Peruana restaurant in Buena Mesa for lunch.

I received an answer from Chuck.  He has guests from Panama and they want to see downtown Medellin today.  I said we’ll make it another time.

On my way I noticed the menu del dia restaurant we have often gone to is closed.

Laura joined us just after our food was served.  She informed me that Jardin is about 3 hours by bus but I understand it’s HOT there.

Teresa told me she’s got another doctor’s appointment early tomorrow morning in Itagui.

After searching the internet for more medical information she tells me she believes she’ll need radiation therapy.  She asks me what I think.  I inform her that my medical license expired long ago.  (I don’t know why she expects me to support her conjectures.)

About 6:30 some fireworks went off.  Teresa said it’s for the end of Christmas.  I checked my list of holidays and today is Dia de Los Reyes Magos aka Epiphany.  For orthodox Christians today is considered Orthodox Christmas.

It was a cool day today; we only got a high of about 81 degrees.  I can even see people walking in the street in winter coats.  Lol.

For dinner tonight I made waffles.

Laura informs me that tomorrow we’ll go to the au pair agency and see if I can pay the program fee with my debit card.  (She thinks I have to use a credit card but I’m trying to tell her it’s basically the same thing.)

The ladies wanted to watch a Netflix movie.  Laura searched for awhile and then, to my horror, downloaded a free movie site called Popcorn Time.  (I’m always afraid that she’s going to allow some virus into my computer.)  After about 45 minutes searching both sites she finally settled on The Other Woman (6.0) on Popcorn Time.  (We watched it but I thought it was pretty stupid.)

Joke of the day

One day, Heaven became extremely full, and something had to be done.  So The Lord decided to have St. Peter wait at the gate and ask everyone how they died.  If it was a grisly story they told, they could go ahead into Heaven.  But if not, they had to go to Hell.

The first man walks up and St. Peter tells him what’s happening.  “You see, Heaven is quite full today, and we have to ask everyone how they died.  If it sounds good, you can go ahead.  But if not, you go to Hell.

“Ok,” the man says, “Well, for awhile I’ve been suspecting my wife of cheating on me.  So today I thought I would leave work early and catch her.  Sure enough, I got to my apartment and she was lying naked on the bed.  I ran all over the apartment searching for the man but couldn’t find him.

Then I remembered we live on the 25^th floor of an apartment building, and we have a balcony.  And there was the man, hanging off my balcony.  I beat at his hands and he just wouldn’t let go, so I ran and got a hammer and beat his hands until he fell into the bushes below.  I saw he was still alive so I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the edge on top of him.  But the strain of the effort gave me a heart attack and I died.

“Wow!” St. Peter said.  “That really is bad.  You can go ahead.”

The next man walked up and St. Peter gave his spiel about Heaven being full and the man would have to tell his story.

“Ok,” the second man said.  “So I live on the 26^th floor of an apartment building and everyday I do exercises on my balcony.  Well, today I fell over the edge, but luckily I caught the railing of the balcony below me.”

“Suddenly this man came out and started beating at my hands.  He ran back inside and I thought I was safe, but then he came back out with a hammer and beat my hands again.  I finally fell off, but luckily I landed in the bushes below and they saved my life.  But that wasn’t enough for the man because he pushed his refrigerator over the edge and it landed on me and killed me.  And now I’m here.

“Wow, that’s a good one too!  You can go ahead.”

The third man walked up and St. Peter again gave his spiel about Heaven being full and the man would have to tell his story about how he died.

“Ok,” the third man said.  “I don’t know what happened.  I was hiding naked inside this refrigerator…
