Recovery Day #146!

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:45, fell back asleep, finally waking at 6:30 and getting up at 6:45.

I received a text message from Bob Sisler, who I haven’t heard from in a long time. He needs 3,500,000 pesos for his visa renewal and was asking if I know of any person or company that loans money with a 90-day payback. I recommended he use a credit card and I also informed him I just renewed my visa with Inter-Col and it cost less than 2,500,000 pesos.

I left the apt at 8:15 and walked to Parva where I had a café con leche and reviewed some chess notes. I left just before 9:30 and met Glenn at Los Porteños. We each ordered the same egg in croissant sandwich and we were both a little surprised it was a fried egg. It was delicious but a little messy to eat. Next time we’ll try to order it with scrambled eggs. At Glenn’s recommendation I texted a man named Diego who will come to my apt tomorrow morning and take a blood sample. (If Teresa complains about the cost I will inform her it’s 5mil cheaper than using Cedimed even with their discount card. I even arranged to meet him in the porteria so she won’t be inconvenienced.) With coffee the check came to a little less than 20mil each. Glenn left about 11am and I hung around a little longer. I bought 2 bags of milk before returning to the apt.

I accidentally erased all the songs from my iPod but quickly figured out how to sync them from my iTunes account.

Another close game but I’m up a pawn in the endgame vs Troyclough.

Even before the sun hit our thermometer this afternoon we reached 86 degrees. Maybe the rainy season is over. (Oops, sorry, I didn’t mean to jinx that.)

A new movie that just opened, Run Hide Fight (6.40), looks interesting but it’s only showtime in Viva Envigado is 9pm.

Tomorrow is the 2^nd Dia sin IVA (like no sales tax) so Teresa wants to go early to El Tesoro. I texted Diego and switched my blood draw to Saturday morning.

In my spare time I’ve been binge watching Seinfeld episodes.
