 Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

Since I had to go to Viva Envigado anyway, I told Teresa to relax and I would have breakfast there.

I left the apt about 8am and walked to the mall. I recycled a couple plastic bottles upstairs and made a trip to the ATM. I had my usual breakfast at Habia Una Vez. In Bancolombia after a short wait I paid the city tax on the finca. At the pharmacy “inside” Exito I bought a thermometer and some Vitamin C capsules for Teresa. I had some pages printed at Auros then paid for the utility and wifi bill outside at Baloto.

Back inside the mall I paid the cellphone bills at Claro then had a café con leche in Todo Fresa. I stopped briefly in H&M looking for a robe and the salesman informed me I could find them in their El Tesoro location.

Now all the bills are paid for the month although I’m still waiting for a Direct TV bill.

In Exito bought a large bottle of Clorox and returned to the apt by noon.

I gave Teresa the Vitamin C capsules and she told me she wanted the kind the lozenges. I recall there were bags of them right in front of me at the counter. I told her I would take the capsules since I’m getting over a cold.

Rain started about 2:30 but only lasted about 20 minutes.

I understand MT got her first vaccination shot today.

Teresa got a hankering for a snack so she called the bakery whose sugar cookes Marcos recommended and they delivered 4 pastel de guayabas for 12mil.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 4 games to 3.

We had more rain in the evening.
