Last night I went to bed at 10:30, forgot to take my sleeping pill early, took a little while to fall asleep, got up once at 3:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

I checkmated sseltimil in the endgame gaining 4 points to 1486.

Teresa left at 9:30, I understand she will be meeting with a girlfriend, they are going to pick up some medication in Poblado then they will do some shopping at Santafe mall. She’s not sure if she will be back in time for lunch – she will call me.

I finished The Dig (7.2) then started watching Below Zero (6.2).

I left the apt at 10:15 and walked to the mall and had coffee at Todo Fresa. Teresa called me at 11:15 to inform me that she would be having lunch with her friend at La Casita Parilla.

I waited until 12:15 then went upstairs where I had an individual Italiana pizza from Papa Johns.

I returned to the apt by 1:30 and started a lesson with Juan Castro but his internet was so unstable we eventually gave up. He’s now in his new apartment in Sabaneta.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi so easily in 2 games that I gave up for the day.

I finished the movie Below Zero but it wasn’t very good.

We started watching Braven (5.9) but 30 minutes in we apparently lost our internet connection.

At 7:30 someone set off some fireworks that seemed to be very closeby. I went out on the balcony and someone across the street was setting them off and they went up straight but only about 6’ from the other building. Afterward a moving van next to it left so I guess that was their way of saying goodbye.

Joke of the day

I know a guy who's addicted to drinking brake fluid, but he says he can stop any time.
