Last night I went to bed at 10pm, took a little while to fall asleep, got up once during the night, finally waking/ getting up at 7:15.

Teresa returned from her gym class just as I got up.

I left the apt at 8:30 and found Smartfit less busy than usual but my first machine is the Butterfly and two couples were taking turns on both machines so I changed the usual order of my workout. When I was on the treadmill I noticed both Butterfly machines were finally available.

I completed my workout and moved to Ganso y Castor where I had a latte. I left at 10:45 and returned to the apt. Finally, blue skies today. 😊

I left the apt at 1:45 and stopped at the Servientrega office on Ave Las Vegas. I told the rep I never received my email (I’m pretty sure they spelled my last name Andersen, same problem I had in the States) so he sent it to me via Whatsapp.

I continued on to Peccato where I had a latte while reviewing some chess notes.

I saw this American style motorcycle parked nearby:

You don’t see many of those here. A few minutes later I saw the owner (a cigarette in his right hand)

After he finished his smoke, he drove away (not sure if you can hear how loud his motorcycle was):

About 3:30 it started getting a little dark so I paid for my latte and left. Just after I returned to our apt, I heard the thunder start but luckily it didn’t develop into anything. (Teresa occasionally tells me about flooding in Itagui or Sabaneta.)

Teresa waited a couple hours for Kelly but she didn’t show and I don’t know if she even called.

Teresa wants us to take her mother to El Retiro Sunday for Mother’s Day.

I got this great idea of downloading Movistar to my Firestick so we wouldn’t depend on DirecTV but even with the help of ChatGPT I couldn’t find the app.

I find it interesting, that “okay” or maybe “OK” is common in Colombia as in the US. The other day an “okey dokey” slipped out and Teresa reported hearing that from a doctor. So now occasionally I’ll say “okey dokey”.

Teresa informed me that the rainy season is over. Yeah, we’ll see.

I watched the news in the evening (no rain) and went to bed at 10pm.
