Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, again at 5:15, finally waking/getting up just after 7am.

Microsoft Hotmail still says, “You’re out of storage. You can’t send email and won’t be able to receive in 1 day.”

I click on “Manage Storage” and it still says, “Total Used 30.3GB/5GB 606% used” but this time the “Free up space” button isn’t highlighted. ☹

If I click the bottom of the screen I get “0.9GB/15GB 6% Used” and then it shows the names of my email folders and says they are all Empty.

Now I can’t find/get to all the photos I was busy deleting yesterday. ☹

Now I see, there’s Microsoft Storage and there’s Email Storage.

I signed in to my Microsoft Account and it says my Microsoft Storage (OneDrive) used is only 0.9GB/5GB, 18% used, so what’s the problem?

Now I see “If your Microsoft 365 subscription has expired (it has), you’ll need to renew to get the same amount of storage again.”

And I see Microsoft 365 Basic is $1.99 a month which gives me OneDrive and Outlook (for $9.99 a month I get that plus Word, Excel, etc.)

Okay, I renewed MS 365 Basic for $1.99 a month.

I received this text message from my daughter yesterday, “Had a 16 week appt today! No ultrasound, sadly. But we heard her heartbeat and it sounded strong. In 1 month we will get a level 2 ultrasound which is really in depth and done at a hospital/not at our clinic.” So all is well!

Teresa returned at 8:15 from her gym class so now I’ll have breakfast then wait an hour before heading to the gym.

I completed my workout in Smartfit without incident.

I was having coffee in Ganso y Castor when Michael stopped by to ask me if I’ve every eaten at El Trifasico the nearby restaurant.  I told him “no” because I’m not sure if it was that restaurant or the one next to it and its been at least 6 years since we’ve eaten there.

I noticed the peanut I put in the tree is gone. I did see the squirrel return a couple minutes later to see if there might be another one.

I left at 10:30 and bought a bag of milk in Ara on my way back to the apt.

It started raining at 11:25 but lasted only a minute. 😊

Now, Microsoft says I’m using 0.9GB of 100GB (1%) so I guess I also bought myself more storage. And it’s allowing me to go to the same place I was yesterday so I can continue to delete photos.

I understand that 62,000 pesos is a Movistar package for both WiFi and television.

More rain in the afternoon.

I’ve got my storage down to 0.8 GB.

I just figured out how to make the photos smaller so I can delete 45 at a time.

I just saw Anna Cramling’s mother Tia, lots of photos of her, so I guess I’m in the C’s.

Then I saw Fabiano Caruana, Magnus Carlson, Robert Byrne.

When I go to empty the Recycle Bin part of the file address is ChessBase so they must have come from there somehow.

At 2:30 Teresa finally decided the rain was over and we could go visit her friend whose husband is in Clininca Las Americas. I got dressed and tried to order a Didi for their suggested price of 12mil. I’m guessing because of the rain cars are in short supply. I cancelled and upped the offer to 20mil and still waited. When I mentioned this to Teresa she thought that was too expensive and we’ll go another time so I cancelled the request.

The Nov 28, 2020 set of photos ended with Jacob Aargaard and now I’m in the Nov 20, 2020 set of photos.

Now I’m in photos of game positions.

My best guess is all this came from online ChessBase Magazine issues 195-198.

Well, now I’m at 0.7GB of 100GB.

I’m down to 0.5GB.

Some of the files are large .mp4 (video) files which take up more space.

I stopped at 5pm for the evening.

Tomorrow it’s time to visit the mall to pay the bills that are due the first of the month.
