Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30am.

Teresa is going to a craft class this morning so she asked me to meet her in Mayorca at 12:30 for lunch. We need eggs so we can buy them in Exito.

Undecided about what to wear, I put on my shorts and sleeveless t-shirt.

I left the apt at 8am and took an Envigado bus to Calle 7. I walked up a short block to Cedimed Intermedica where I got the blood draw for my semi-annual PSA test. The cost was 99,500 pesos ($24) and I was out by 8:45.

I walked a few blocks north to a Dr. Scholl’s store. I checked out their gel heel pads but they seemed overkill for my need. They weren’t expensive at 60,000 pesos but I decided to wait for our trip to the states or I’ll buy new Minnitonka moccasins online.

Across the street I got on a Sabaneta bus back to Envigado. I got off at Calle 10 and stopped in Ganso y Castor for a latte. I left at 10:45 and returned to the apt.

At 11:45 I notice it’s drizzling outside. ☹ Time to switch to pants and regular t-shirt.

At noon I started the process of ordering a ride to Mayorca mall. I arrived at Crepes & Waffles right at 12:30 but there was a line so we went next door to Il Forno. Teresa had her usual salmon (she loved it) and I tried their Canelones. I liked mine although the bottom layer of pasta stuck to the pan.

The total, with tip, came to 137,012 pesos ($32.50).

We went down to Miniso where Teresa bought a few things, including a case for her thermos, for 112,400 pesos ($27).

Passing by Brissa we saw my pillow for sale but we decided to wait and buy it next week because with all our things we still needed to buy eggs.

We stopped in Exito but they didn’t have the large carton of eggs so I ended up with their medium size.

We returned to the apt by taxi for 14mil.

Kelly is supposed to come over about 5pm.

It was 3pm when I left for Anamaste for a latte. It was free because I gifted them my book, Paper Towns by John Green. It poured a few times while I was there.

I left at 4:30 in a light drizzle and returned to the apt. Teresa informed me that the weather was too bad so Kelly won’t be coming.

Teresa notified me that my urology appointment has been changed to 8:30 tomorrow morning. Only problem is I haven’t received my results yet. I’ve tried logging into their website and they will send me an email to confirm my identity but it never arrives.

I know I won’t be going to the gym tomorrow because I’ll be in El Tesoro mall.

I set an alarm for 6:30am tomorrow.
