Saturday, May 17, 2025

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

It’s still drizzling.

I checked Google Flights and for the first time the price is under $1000 at $986. When I asked google months before, it replied the cheapest international flights should be from about May 18th to 29th, so we’ll see.

It’s still drizzling slightly so I put on my hiking pants (my new name for my thin convertible pants), a t-shirt, my jacket and took our large umbrella.

I left the apt at 8:15 and walked to the mall. I recycled a plastic bottle, printed a chess note page in Auros, bought a large carton of eggs in Exito, bought a blueberry muffin in Starbucks, then took a seat in Urbania, 15 minutes before their 9am open.

I studied a particular line of The English Opening so I would be prepared for it.

Teresa called me several times with things to pick up at Ara on my way back. I left at 11am and returned to the apt by taxi.

I dropped off the eggs, the umbrella, and my book. I walked down to Mercado Madrid where I bought apples, blueberries, and two plantains and returned to the apt.

I left the apt at 2:15, left a peanut in the crook of the tree in the park and continued on to Los Portenos where I had a latte. The restaurant was busy but not so bad like I was taking someone’s table. A TALL American couple three tables away ordered a bottle of water but were confused by the waitress’ question of “con or sin gas?” so I helped them out.

I left at 5pm and returned to the apt.

I watched a couple more episodes of Bodyguard, just one more to go.

I found a couple of new lesions. At least they are coming less often.
