Monday, December 16, 2024

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 5:22am (it was pouring but seemed to stop soon after returning to bed), finally waking/getting up at 7am.

I forgot to mention 2 things from last night: 1) I heard some cheering but not enough for a win and after a google search I saw that Atletico Nacional drew Americas de Cali 0-0. 2) There was a lot of fireworks and they were still going on when I went to bed at 10pm.

I left the apt at 8:15, put a peanut in the tree next to the birdfeeder and proceeded on to the gym in weather between a mist and raindrops. Fortunately, it had stopped by the time I left the gym.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor before returning to the apt.

I found an unknown payment in my USAA account of $61.19. I called USAA and while they were checking for more information, I checked my blog and found was the payment for my cedula. Mea culpa!

Glenn has been having speed problems with his new Movistar fiber optic service but today a technician came out and he now is getting 700 Mbps.

And yesterday I showed him the new google lens feature that allows for live written translations from Spanish to English.

Teresa and I left at 3:45 and took a Didi to Arkadia mall. Our driver’s name was Aura and she was a young lady that drove very tentatively like she had just gotten her license. Oh, and her Didi photo was an older man, maybe her father?

As soon as we entered the mall Teresa there was a Mimo’s stand and we both got a soft serve ice cream cone with chocolate and peanuts.

We waited a couple minutes outside the elevator where we finished them before we went up to the 4th floor. It only took about 10 minutes for Teresa to pick up her mammogram results and get an appointment for next year.

We were sitting in Peregamino having a latte (cold) and we each had some type of pastry. I checked the .pdf they emailed me and the date for her next appointment was today’s date. I asked her why it doesn’t have the year 2025 on it so we returned to the clinic and Teresa talked to someone who convinced her that it was okay.

We walked across the street where we bought a bag of groceries for 392,700 pesos ($90.50). There were four families ahead of us for a taxi which turned out to be a 30-minute wait. We returned to the apt in heavy traffic which took about 35 minutes.

With a bag of salted-in-the-shell peanuts and a Coke, I watched the Minnesota Vikings pummeled my Bears 30-12 for their 8th loss in a row.

I went to bed right after at 11pm.

 

JUST FUNNY
