 Today is the holiday Epiphany, which is why we are in this lockdown, to keep Colombians from literally partying themselves to death (from Covid-19).

Last night I went to bed at 11pm, fell asleep quickly, woke up about 1:30, catnapped until I got up at 3:45, read a little, returned to bed at 5am, was awakened by Teresa closing the bedroom door at 7:30 and I got up. It rained on and off all night.

9 more days of this presidency. I hope to god the US can survive until then.

Jose texted that he’s available for chess tomorrow.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 4 games to 1.

I have a 7# dumbbell which I use each day for my arms and shoulders. Hopefully, I’ll soon be able to get out walking today.

I watched another couple episodes of The Last Kingdom.

Wow, a day without rain.

Fox News: Don’t impeach Trump for the January 6 insurrection — you’ll just make his supporters angry again.

Impeachment won't be nearly as divisive as that insurrection they just attempted.
