Last night, at 8:30, I mistakenly took my sleeping pill instead of my melatonin. I managed to stay awake and read until 9:30 when I gave up and went to bed. I fell asleep quickly but got up at 4am. About 5am I gave up getting back to sleep. I got up and took another sleeping pill, read for about 20 minutes and went back to bed. I fell asleep quickly and woke/got up just before 7am.

I left the apt at 8am and met Marcos outside his apt at 8:15. The osteoarthritis in my back is acting up today but it gradually went away on our walk. We walked to Parque Poblado, had coffee at a different café, and walked to Mercado Madrid where he picked up some groceries and I bought the teriyaki sauce Teresa asked for and a couple bags of milk. Teresa was just leaving for her gym class as I returned to the apt.

Teresa called me at 12:45 from Mayorca to tell me she’s on her way back to the apt to make chicken fajitas for lunch.

I took a nap from 2:30 to 3:30.

Teresa told me she wanted to check out the sales in Arkadia. (I wanted to look for a specific pair of shorts in H&M there anyway.) We left the apt at 4:30 and took a taxi to the mall. Teresa did some shopping and we each found a light t-shirt in Felabella. The mall has a Cinemark theatre that is open, an 11-lane bowling alley, and soon will have a Starbucks. She said she wanted something different to eat tonight but we still ended up getting sandwiches from Subway. Before we left I made a quick trip into H&M but didn’t find the shorts I was looking for. We returned to the apt by taxi in a light rain.

Joke of the day

Acupuncture is a jab well done.  That's the point of it.
