Last night we went to bed at 10pm, I just couldn’t fall asleep (I guess I needed my Diphenhydramine (HCI)), had an awful night, finally getting up at 7am, making a trip to the bathroom and explained my problem to Teresa, returned to bed, finally getting up at 9am.

We left the apt at 10:30 and had breakfast in Sunrise Grill on Touhy. When we entered I saw 6 ICE agents (1 woman and 5 men) having breakfast in a side room. Teresa had their avocado toast and I eggs with hash browns, bacon and pancakes.

I captured this over the shoulder photo as they were paying their bill:

I drove us to Fashion Outlet of Chicago and Teresa checked out all the stores. She didn’t buy anything but I bought a $20 t-shirt at Finish Line and a $10 t-shirt at Puma.

I drove us to Bakers Square where we had a less than memorable experience. Teresa had their chicken fried chicken plate and I had a slice of apple pie (they were out of banana cream and coconut cream) with a cup of decaf coffee for $32.08, including tip.

We drove past a church and I saw a couple ICE agents, one taking photos of something.

We stopped in a Walgreens where I purchased a new pill cutter (my old one broke a couple weeks before we left Colombia).

I heard on an oldies radio station that Chubby Checker will be appearing at the Des Plaines Theater this Sunday, a theater we pass about twice a day.

I stopped at a Chase Bank and withdrew $400 in cash. (Later USAA refunded $3 of my $3.50 ATM fee. I guess the limit must be $10 a month.

We stopped in Oberweis Dairy in Park Ridge (paid 30 cents for 30 minutes parking) and we each had a scoop of ice cream for about $11.

We returned to the apt for a rest but I wasn’t able to sleep. Heard some rain as I was getting up.

Wow, Marcos called and I caught him up on what we’ve been up to.

We left the apt at 7:15 and had soup again in Potbelly. We walked across the driveway to Shop n Save where I bought groceries so Teresa can soon make pasta. I also bought a $2 newspaper to read at breakfast tomorrow.

I took my usual Zopiclona at 9:15 but this time added a Diphenhydramine to ensure I get a good night’s sleep.
