Last night I went to bed at 10:30, quickly fell asleep and woke up at 5am. I had a sip of water and went back to bed but couldn’t fall asleep so I got up at 5:30.

I met Glenn and Bianca at the Ave Pobaldo bus stop at 8:15. We walked 2 blocks north to the La Frontera mall where he introduced me to DeLolita. We each had a cinnamon roll with coffee then eggs – mine scrambled with tomato and basil. From there he showed me Parque Lineal La Frontera where he walks Bianca which reminded me a little of our forest preserves back in Chicago.

I returned to the apt by 10:30 and Teresa and I left at 11:15. We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointments with Dr. Rendon. I was taken first and he performed phase one of my root canal. The root is obviously dead because I didn’t feel a thing.

While it was Teresa’s turn I went down to O’Cake where I had a small café con leche.

She called me an hour later and I paid 150mil for her and 450mil towards my root canal. My next appointment is Monday at 2pm.

We had lunch at the upstairs J&C Delicias location because it was raining and this is a warmer location as they can close their windows.

Teresa did some shopping then went on a serious search for pajamas for her Santa Elena trip next month. She finally asked someone and was sent to Clonhadas. She was checking out pajamas when suddenly it occurred to me that I’m often cold sitting in the apt. I looked also and we both ended up with identical cotton Made in USA plaid flannel pajamas. She also chose a pair of warm slippers.

We picked up a few things in Carulla (I found Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce which I’m going to give a try) then caught a taxi back to the apt.

I tried on my pajamas and they are slightly large but if they were more form fitting they would probably be too warm.

Joke of the day

A lady tried to cash a check at a supermarket in Florida. The clerk asked to see her real estate license. She said, “don’t you mean my driver’s license?” The clerk replied, “No, not everyone has a driver’s license.”
