Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up once at 4am, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

As I was leaving for my walk Teresa asked me to pick up 2 pan de quesos at Aymará. At the end of my usual walk I placed the order at Aymará and was told there would be a 7-minute wait. I sat down at a nearby table and soon realized I was getting chilled after my sweaty walk. At the appointed time they were ready and I returned to the apt.

Teresa left at 10:30 for the beauty parlor. She has a 3:30 appointment with her oncologist in El Tesoro.

I took a nap from about 11am to noon.

Teresa called at 12:15 to tell me to have lunch out on my own as she will probably be rushing when she’s done at the beauty parlor.

I left at 12:15 and walked the 5 minutes to Asados Rogelio where I had chicken breast, rice, frijoles, a small salad and a mango juice for 19mil.

Teresa returned 5 minutes after me. We left for her 3:30 oncology appointment at 2:30 in a light rain and, despite heavy traffic on Avenida Poblado, arrived 20 minutes early. Dr. Ossa now has an office in the new Tower 2 medical building of El Tesoro. When she came out she reported that the doctor said everything looks fine. She did some shopping then we went upstairs to J&C Delicias (downstairs was too cold as it was open to the elements) where she had a proper lunch (salmon) and I had a delicious slice of carrot cake with a large café con leche. We stopped in an H&M looking for a bathrobe for me but all they had was a small choice for ladies. She did some more shopping then we got in a long line for a taxi. A few people gave up and gave Teresa their numbers so we got out after about a 30-minute wait. I think it was about an hour for there to Viva Envigado where she did a little more shopping before we returned by taxi to the apt.

We went to bed at 10am during a steady rain.

Joke of the day

There’s going to be a point in my life when my son looks up to me and thinks, “Gee, my mom knows everything!” Then he’ll get to sixth-grade math class, and I’ll say, “Well, kid, this is where we part ways.
