Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up once at 3am, finally getting up at 6:15.

I left the apt at 9am and walked to the mall. There were only 2 people ahead of me at Auros but I guess they had big jobs as it was about a 20-minute wait for my turn. I had some pages printed and my SS benefit letter scanned to my memory drive.

I had a café con leche for an hour and a half in Todo Fresa.

I picked up a number of things in Exito and returned to the apt by taxi. Teresa returned about 12:30.

Just before 1:30 the rain started and it lasted a little over 30 minutes.

I had a 2-hour chess lesson with Juan Carlos from 2-4pm.

Teresa beat me in parcheesi today 4 games to 1.

More rain in the evening.

Joke of the day

My three-year-old said she wanted to be an astronaut, and I said she had to study hard, go to college, learn a lot of science, and take a physical fitness test. She shrugged and said, “That’s just four things.”
