Last night I went to bed at 10, got up once at 3:10 (it had stopped raining), waking/getting up at 7am.

It was still raining lightly; I guess we’re officially in the rainy season.

I left the apt at 9:45 and took a Didi to Unicentro mall. On the way Jose notified me he was already there and that Parmessano is open for breakfast at 8am. I spent about 2 hours telling him about our vacation and then a little more time catching him up on my chess adventures. He’s been staying pretty close to home of late but if feeling well enough to get out more. We’re going to meet here next Tuesday for breakfast and then go to the food court to play chess. When he’s feeling more confident, we will move back to Viva Envigado.

It was 1pm and Teresa was supposed to call me soon to meet at Arkadia mall for lunch. I hadn’t heard from her but I took a slow taxi to the mall and had another latte in Santa Leña expecting Teresa to call soon. About an hour later I needed to go to the restroom so I paid for my latte and made said trip. I went upstairs to their food court and took a table and started doing the test at the back of Part 5 of my chess book. I didn’t do very well so I’m going to review that section again. Teresa finally contacted me at 3:30 and I met her at Crepes & Waffles where we had a LATE lunch. We went across the street to Pricesmart mainly for eggs but since we were there I looked for Knotts Berry Farms Strawberry Preserves but didn’t find them. While Teresa was in line with our cart, I stopped at the information desk and asked and a girl went and got them for me. 😊 (Now besides the 2 12-oz jars I bought recently I now have 2 32-oz jars.) Downstairs, we had a 10-minute wait for a taxi and traffic was fairly heavy returning to the apt. We were back almost exactly at 6pm.

Teresa just informed me that as of January she won’t have to take the chemotherapy pill any longer as she will be 5-years cancer free. 😊 Hopefully, she won’t feel so tired in the afternoons any longer.

I watched another episode of the TV series Succession. (I checked my blog notes to see where I gave up on this series the first time but I just wrote that I got tired of it but didn’t note which season which episode.)

Well, no rain today but it was quite cool.

 

BRILLIANT COMEBACKS
