It’s New Years Eve! I wonder if there’s going to be a lot of noise at bedtime this evening.
Last night I went to bed at 10:45, fell asleep
quickly, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.
Well, at one point we thought we saw a bat flying through
the house but it was just a large butterfly or moth the size of your hand. It
settled on the living room drapes and after breakfast I went to check on it and
it flew out the balcony door. I went into my bedroom closet and I found another
mariposa there but it soon flew out the bedroom window.
I left the apt at 9:20 and walked to the bookstore
where I exchanged paperbacks for 2mil. I bought 5 more money envelopes at the copy
center then bought my monthly medicines at Todo Drogas. (I asked the
salesman for ibuprofen and he showed me Advil; I thought it would be called something
else here.) I bought a bottle of L-arginine
at the tienda naturista then walked to the mall.
On the 3rd floor I found Bancolombia
– closed. Sigh! I guess I should have checked their holiday hours when I was
here Tuesday.
I went down to Todo Fresa where I had a café con
leche. I’m winning my 3rd game against Michael. I waited a bit then
called Teresa and informed her that the bank is closed so I won’t be able to
pay for the apt as such until next Tuesday the 5th (unless they
change the pico y cedula days). She asked me to meet her at H&M where she
wants to exchange some clothes. It took me a little bit to figure out that she
was already there, not in the apt. I told her to meet me in Todo Fresa
when she is done shopping.
She arrived about 30 minutes later and she rested a
few minutes. We stopped nextdoor in Home Center where she looked for a
cover for our new sofa recliner. I guess she didn’t like the quality of color
of what they had available because we didn’t buy any.
Teresa told me she was hungry so we went up to Crepes
& Waffles where we each ordered the chicken, broccoli and cheese crepe
with a juice.
We bought a few things in Exito then returned
to the apt via taxi.
I received a challenge to play chess from someone with
a username of Howex. Probably a friend of Michael’s. His rating is 1645 to
compare to my 1060.
For supper Teresa made lasagna and I made garlic
bread. Next time I think it would be better if we just share one as that was
too much food.
We went to bed at 10:30 and the fireworks started. I closed
the bedroom window, drapes and turned on the fan to the lowest setting.

Joke of
the day
The Irish are always the first ones to come to the aid of
their fellow man.
Shortly after take-off on an outbound, evening
Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant nervously made
the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but it appears that there
has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service.
I don't know how this has happened, but we have
103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals. I
truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience."
When the muttering of the passengers had died
down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so
that someone else can eat, will receive free and unlimited drinks for the
duration of our 10-hour flight.”
Her next announcement came about 2 hours later:
"If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available."
