Last night I went to bed at 10pm, took quite a while to fall asleep, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

I met with Marcos outside Tostao at 9:30. We discussed the NFL, dog training, my trip to Chicago, their upcoming (April 30^th) trip to Spain, and American politics.

He left just after 10am and I moved to Peccato where I had a latte while completing 12 more puzzles in my book, The Woodpecker Method.

I left at 11:15 and bought a carton of eggs and 2 plantains in Mercado Madrid before returning to the apt.

I spent quite some time deleting emails from my Hotmail account.

I left the apt at 1:45, left a peanut in the tree in the park, noticed Ganso & Castor is open again, saw Chris Cajoleas talking to a couple guys in the park, and had a latte in Los Portenos.

Brit came by and told me about a leather couch he’s having delivered tomorrow that won’t fit up the stairs.

I found when I paid for my large latte the price has gone up to 11,500 pesos so my 500-peso tip hasn’t been sufficient.

I left at 5pm and noticed the peanut was gone on my way back to the apt.

Teresa was finishing up with a massage from Kelly.

Correction: Workers aren’t putting the new Ara roof over the old one, they are replacing it.

I found this HP Pavilion 15.6” HD 1TB SSD laptop on Amazon for only $388.

I’m not concerned with the alleged poor battery performance but I am little concerned about the keyboard feel and I don’t know how I would check that without personally being there.

I finished reading Lee Child’s Worth Dying For (Jack Reacher #15) on my Kindle.
