Last night I went to bed at 10am, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 4am, finally waking/getting up at 7am.
Another very overcast morning.
I took an Uber to El Tesoro for 10,760 pesos, arriving at
Dr. Castaño’s office in Torre Medico #1 just before 9am. I took a seat in his
small, crowded waiting room and was surprised others went before me; so much
for a 9am appointment. I was finally let into his office at 9:45.
I brought the doctor up to date on my condition, he had me
lie on his exam table and did an ultrasound and declared my gall bladder free
of stones, and my liver and kidneys healthy. 😊
I paid 290,000 pesos and my next appointment will be Thursday, November 21st
at 9:40am and he gave me a full blood work order for PSA, HDL, etc.
I took the stairs one floor down to Dr. Rendon’s office where
I asked them to call Teresa for an appointment.
I took the elevator down to the 3rd floor (which
is the 2nd floor of the mall, go figure) and went into Santa Leña
where I had an almond croissant with a latte. I need to start cutting back on
these snacks if I ever want to lose more of my belly.
I left at 11am and ordered an Uber to pick me up outside the
exit by the Mac Center. I was a couple minutes late getting there but
the driver said he was there. After walking up and down in front of the
entrance a couple time I ended up cancelling the ride defaulting 2,500 pesos
and took a taxi back to Envigado for 18,200 pesos. I exited the taxi in front
of Ara and bought 2 bags of milk before returning to the apt.
It’s after lunch and the skies have pretty much cleared.
I left the apt at 1:45 and walked to Mundo Huevo
where I bought a container of Badia Complete Seasoning that Teresa
requested. I went to Parva where I bought a palito de queso blanco to go
for her and ordered a latte for me.
I finished the 306 mate-in-one puzzles in my book.
We had showers on and off and finally at 5pm there was a
break in the rain and I returned to the apt.
I finally sprung the surprise on Teresa. I asked her if she
had any plans for lunch tomorrow. Her usual response, “where do you want to
invite me?” I asked her if she would like to go to a restaurant where I’ll eat fish.
That’s when the interrogation began:
What kind of fish? I don’t know.
Where is this restaurant? Sabaneta.
Have you been there before? Yes.
How many times? Twice.
Why did you go without me? I wanted to make sure it was fish
I would like.
So now we have a date to go to Big Boy tomorrow for
fish & chips.
I tried something different before going to sleep. I usually
read a novel for an hour or so but tonight I substituted studying for an hour
in my chess puzzle book.
