Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, again at 4:45am, eventually gave up falling back asleep and got up at 5:45.

Teresa made me breakfast, proclaimed she’s going to the 10:15 gym class and went back to bed.

At 7:30 I was ready to go to the gym but I thought it was too early so I set my alarm for an hour and went back to bed. I must have fallen asleep pretty quickly because the next thing I remember is my alarm going off.

Teresa asked me to meet her for lunch in Mayorca between 12:30 and 1pm. I told her that was fine but today I want to go to J&C Delicias instead of our usual Crepes & Waffles.

I got dressed and left for the gym at 8:30. Usually my first machine is the Butterfly but it was occupied so I tried the Back Extension for the first time. I set it to 70# and had no problem doing 20 reps. Next time I’ll try 80#, like a doctor, my main goal is “do no harm”. I completed my workout then moved to Ganso y Castor where I had a latte while doing some chess puzzles and people watching in the park. I saw workers taking down the last of the (large) Christmas decorations.

I left at 10:30 and returned to the apt.

At 12:30 I started the process of ordering a Didi and Maria took me to Mayorca mall. I found Teresa already in J&C Delicias on the 5^th floor. She had her usual salmon with a side of broccoli and I their penne carmela with a limonada de coco for a total of 122mil ($29).

We stopped in Dollar City where Teresa picked up a couple things and I bought a sheet of plastic stick-on hooks. I plan to put them in restrooms that I encounter that don’t have one (which are numerous). We’ll see if they stick well enough, but they only cost me 5,000 pesos ($1.25) so the risk versus reward isn’t huge.

We had lattes in Panaderia Chipre. They were pretty strong but the server took them away and made them weaker. We also shared a cookie but I only had one bite because it was too dry.

We left at 4pm and returned to the apt by taxi.

We had a little rain early in the evening.

ONEIPAMETATO1453 resigned our game on the 50^th move increasing my rating to 1565.

I watched season 2 episode 1 of The Night Agent on Netflix.
