Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

Friday the 13^th!

I left the apt at 8am and completed my workout in Smartfit and after that I had a latte in Los Portenos.

Teresa called me at 11am and informed me she’d be having lunch with her mother so I would be having lunch “on the street”. She immediately asked me where I’m going to have lunch and I told her I don’t know as this is a surprise for me. I asked her where she’s going to have lunch and she had no idea. I asked her to call me when she knows and maybe I’d join them.

 I left at 11:30 and returned to the apt.

I hadn’t heard from Teresa (later she told me she forgot to call me) so I left at 1:30 and walked to La Buena Mesa. I saw what looked like a military man (like a marine) in a special uniform standing at the entrance. I went to Olivia restaurant and near the entrance were 2 motorcycles with police armed with semi-automatic weapons so something must have been going on in the park or someone very important was in the area.

I had their ground beef lasagna with a limonada de coco and for dessert a slice of pecan pie with a latte.

One nice thing about the pie was it wasn’t overly sweet like it normally is.

I went to Ganso y Castor in the park where I had a latte. This is the view of the park from my seat.

Teresa called and suggested we have supper in La Casita Parilla and I told her I’m fine with that. I left at 5:30 and returned to the apt.

I lost a game with the Black pieces to Troyclough dropping my rating 10 points to 1583. ☹

Teresa called at 6:45 to tell me she’s returning to the apt.

We took a Didi to La Casita Parilla and I, not being very hungry, ordered the chicken shish-kebab and a glass of water. Teresa ordered the same with a Coke. When they brought the opened Coke it was obvious they had it in the freezer because you could see the syrup had separated from the soda. We returned to the apt by Didi.

To head off any problems with SS’s biannual Proof of Life form, I had given Teresa instructions to give me any mail her mother receives from Social Security. Teresa gave me the form today. I checked off the applicable boxes, MT has to sign and date it and I’ll Fed-Ex it to SS in the US.

I reminded Teresa of her 9am facial appointment tomorrow.
