Monday, May 19, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night (it was raining), finally waking/getting up at 6:15am (still a light drizzle).

I left the apt at 8am and when I entered Smartfit, Daniel yelled my name and said, “tranquillo”; maybe that means he’s in no hurry to finish our game on Chess.com. I saw all the instructors get together for a group photo. I’ve noticed the young ladies tend to work on the leg machines, so I often have to ask for a turn. I completed my usual workout and moved to Ganso y Castor. I had a latte then left at 10:15 and returned to the apt.

The elevator is under monthly maintenance so I had to walk up 4 flights of stairs.

Teresa returned at 11:45 with a few groceries.

I left the apt at 2:15 and stopped at the Gana kiosk to pay our last Tigo/Une Wi-Fi bill. I handed the lady my cellphone displaying the bill and 110,000 pesos. She handed them back and I have no idea what she said. I’ll see if Jose can help me tomorrow.

I continued on to Los Portenos where I had a latte. I heard loud thunder starting about 4pm. Half an hour later, no thunder, but a serious drizzle which lasted 45 minutes. I google translated something then showed this to my waiter, “Debo estar maldito, dondequiera que voy llueve”, and he laughed. A muchacho came by and I bought a 20mil bag of strawberries. I took advantage of the lull in the rain and returned to the apt.

Teresa told me I paid too much for the strawberries and I told her to consider it a contribution to the local economy.

I finished watching Bodyguard and one of the last scenes realized I must have seen the series before. I watched, then only listened to, the Rachel Maddow show before starting my pre-sleep routine.
