Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 2:15 (it was raining), finally waking by alarm at 6:30 and getting up. No rain.

4 days remaining.

This morning my shaver started blinking on and off indicating it needs to be recharged. The last time I charged it was April 1^st so after I recharge it today it will be good for the month we’re gone.

I was a few minutes late ordering my Didi so I didn’t arrive at Unicentro mall until 10 minutes after 8am and Jose was already sitting at our usual table.

They changed the menu and the usual French toast is now made with thicker bread.

I tried it but the inside is kind of raw and the honey can’t permeate inside of the bread so this is a no-no for me in the future.

I told Jose about my Movistar payment problem and he took me down to just inside Exito where I paid the bill at a kiosk that included the words, “Punto de Pago”, which is what I need to look for in the future.

He also volunteered to pay our July bill when it arrives and I’ll reimburse him when I return.

I saw this beautiful Corvette on display outside one of their entrances:

We moved to the food court where I had the Black pieces in the first game and I blundered on the 9^th move and resigned on the 18^th move.

It was just after 10am when we started our 2^nd game. I got an attack going against his king and he resigned on the 39^th move.

I left at 12:45 and took a Didi to Viva Envigado. I had my usual lunch in Pergamino, bought a box of large Ziploc bags in Dollar Store, then had a latte in Urbania. I left at 3pm and returned to the apt by taxi.

I resigned my game vs Chesswiz98, lowering my rating to 1579. ☹

I called T-Mobile and talked to Janel again. He quoted a price of $140 for the Samsung A52 5G cellphone but we have to wait until we’re in the store to order it.

The cellphone I found on Amazon is refurbished and I discovered I could have it sent General Delivery to the Des Plaines post office and pick it up there. But when I talked to Teresa, she didn’t want a “used” phone so we’ll order it when we arrive in the T-Mobile office on Sunday.

A little rain in the evening but it had stopped when I went to bed at 10pm.
