Last night I went to bed at 10pm but got up at midnight to put medicine on my lesions that were itching so much. I got up at 3:30 to use the bathroom (it was pouring outside), finally waking/getting up at 6:15 (still a light drizzle).

Well, it’s finally here, today is NFL Draft Day. The Chicago Bears have pick #10 in the first round, plus #39 & #41 in the second round and #72 in the 3^rd round that they could use should they want to trade up in, or back into, the first round.

One of my readers, Expat, commented “If you are over 60 you will be exempt from any sort of vaccine requirement.” That’s good to know.

I met Marcos outside Tostao at 9:30. We talked about the NFL draft, uncertainty in this presidential administration, Yellow Fever vaccination (he says you only need it if you’re going to sea level areas), and Movistar fiber optics. I recommended he return to the gym so he can stress his bones.

They leave next Wednesday for Spain, returning Thursday, May 29^th so we’ll get to meet once or twice before we leave for Chicago.

I had a latte in Peccato while reading more of my Chess Life magazine.

I stopped in Mercado Madrid and bought lettuce and half a dozen tomatoes before returning to the apt. Aargh, I should have bought a carton of eggs.

Teresa said I had to be in the apt this afternoon, something about Movistar, 3pm, and a form.

Jeannie has her 20-week ultrasound tomorrow so we should have new photos. She said his month she’s starting to show but still doesn’t feel any movement.

About 3:30 a thunderstorm came through followed 30 minutes later by a downpour. I had to disconnect my laptop but hoping this will be over soon so I can watch the NFL Draft at 7pm.

I don’t usually answer unknown calls (those not in my contacts) but this time I did and it was a Movistar rep. He spoke a little English and I understand future calls will be to Teresa’s phone and they will come out tomorrow afternoon for the installation.

With Medellin TV I checked ABC but Green Bay and Chicago weren’t available but I did find it in Milwaukee but I would have to deal with the Packers slant. I also found it on DAZN, I see my subscription doesn’t expire until August 1^st. I also found it on ESPN 4 on DirecTV but the coverage would probably be in Spanish. I settled on DAZN but had to turn the volume all the way up to 100 to hear it without my headphones.

With the 10^th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected TE Colston Loveland from Michigan.

At 8:30 I turned everything off and started my pre sleep routine.
