Last night I tried something different, I only took ½ a Zopiclona sleeping pill before I went to bed at 10:45.

I think it worked pretty well.  Maybe I didn’t fall asleep quite as quickly or deeply but at least well enough to try it again.

Again I woke up with no back pain for weakness.  I know its not a cure but I’m hopeful I found permanent relief.  We’ll see how I feel after I finish the 8-day regimen of Ibuprofen.

I went to post yesterday’s blog and found we have no internet.  We have electricity so I unplugged the router, waited 15 seconds and plugged it back in but still no internet.

I left the apt at 9:20 and took a back street which still led past the side entrance to Otra Parte.  At Avenida Poblado I turned south for a change and walked past downtown Envigado.  I turned around at Parque Recreativo  - the children’s recreation park.  On my way back I checked out the new copy center and as expected it was closed.  I stopped for awhile at Aymara where I had café con leche and checked out my cellphone.  On my way back to the apt I stopped in Exito and found that they do carry the ActII microwave popcorn.  I’ll probably buy one for tomorrow night’s game.  I returned to the apt at 10:40 – still no internet.  It better be working by tomorrow night or I’ll be going to Patrick’s Irish Sports Pub to watch the game.

On 2^nd thought since it’s the Monday night game I’ll probably watch it on Direct TV with the Spanish broadcast.

Teresa left about 4:30 to meet MT and they are going to Caldas to visit someone.

She called me at 7:30 and told me she will be back soon and she’s bringing me some chicken.

She came back at 8:15 with leftover roasted chicken and baked potatoes.

About 10pm it started raining.

6,164 steps today.

Joke of the day

Married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25 year old blonde. 

Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50 year old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25 year old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, and sleeping on a sofa bed.
