Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 5:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:30.

I left the apt at 8:20 and met Marcos outside his apt complex. He said he had a medical lab near the park he had to visit for 5 minutes. We walked just short of Parque Envigado and he stopped in the same building where I sometimes picked up cash from World Remit. He talked to a receptionist and was told he needs to go to Monterrey mall for a Covid-19 test. (He leaves in March to visit his grandkids in Arizona.) He told me he heard that you can get a covid test in the airport and receive the results in 30 minutes but his flight leaves at 2am. I told him that could be his backup plan – go there the day before and get the test and he would know he’s prepared for the flight. When we left I noticed a tienda naturista that was open and it wasn’t even 9am. I think now I can start my 1^st of the month payment process earlier and not have to wait til 9:30 when the other store is open. We stopped for coffee at Parva and I was back at the apt by 9:30.

Teresa got off the phone with Esmeralda and told me she’s been thinking. (uh-oh!). Why don’t we open a small restaurant and make lots of money?

I blundered against a 1007 player and lost 17 points down to 1476. Sigh!

I beat Teresa in parcheesi 5 games to 2.

I spent another hour working on the jigsaw puzzle. I’d say I’m past the halfway point to completing it, now what’s left is the hard part, either all green trees or very dark green trees in shadow.

I finished reading the paperback Mr. Murder by Dean Koontz. I see per IMDB that there was a TV movie with that name so I’ll have to check it out.
