Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once about 5am, finally waking/ getting up at 6:15.

I started the ride sharing process at 7:20 and my Didi encountered traffic so heavy we got off one exit further than usual but I still arrived at Unicentro by 8am. That cost me 11,500 pesos. Jose arrived a couple minutes later. I had their French toast and Jose had their egg casserole. We discussed a number of topics including doing our taxes.

We adjourned to the food court where I had the Black pieces in the first game. I had the advantage until the 41^st move when I blundered in time trouble and eventually resigned on the 77^th move. One of our longest games ever.

I had the White pieces in the 2^nd game and he quickly was up a pawn but undeveloped and I couldn’t take advantage of it and he checkmated me on the 34^th move. I was too tired for our usual game review.

It was only 2pm but I decided to “get out of dodge” before the heavy traffic hit. I paid a Didi 16,500 pesos to take me to Viva Envigado. I had lasagna and a fresh mango juice in Montelivio.

I made a 2,000,000-peso ATM withdrawal (the 1^st one I tried had no cash), paid our cellphone bills in Claro, paid the epm utility bill in Exito and bought a bag of dental flossers before returning to the apt by taxi.

Recognize this lady?

She’s Simone Biles winner of 23 Olympic gold medals in gymnastics. I mention her here because her husband, (Mr. Biles 😊), Johathan Owens just signed a 2-year contract to play safety for the Chicago Bears so I guess we’ll be seeing her in the stands game days.

I guess I watched the first 8 episodes of Masters of the Air too quickly because the 9^th and final episode isn’t until this Friday, the 15^th.

Laura decided to try sleeping on the recliner tonight since she has to sleep sitting up anyway.

I went to bed at 9pm.
