Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3am, finally waking up at 6:15 and getting up at 6:45.

I took an extra 25mil with me, 18,600 pesos for bagels and 5,000 pesos for a bag of milk.

I left the apt at 8:30 for Smartfit where I completed my workout but in a different order than usual as machines became available.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor but left early just after 10am.

I stopped in Eduardo Madrid, no bagels ☹ but I found 8 English muffins 😊. They were 20,000 pesos which is exactly what I had brought with me for bagels. I stopped in Ara and bought a bag of milk for 3,900 pesos.

Back at the apt Teresa was getting ready to leave.  She said MT might want to go to El Tesoro instead.

The chicks are exercising their muscles:

They create a real mess on the balcony (poop) so we probably won’t repeat this experiment.

Teresa left at 11am.

I tried signing in again to my Microsoft account with the same result. ☹

Teresa left me a voice message to meet outside Zara in El Tesoro at 1pm.

I left the apt at 12:30 and took a Didi to El Tesoro mall. I texted Teresa when I was seated outside Zara. She replied she was in H&M and to meet in Valentina’s café for lunch.

The ladies each had half a chicken sandwich and I had a whole one. MT and I had lattes and Teresa had a granizado. We were in no hurry to heave and the café wasn’t busy. At one point I went to the copy desk and printed a recipe for broccoli cheddar cheese soup, in English. I edited it and now its ready to translate to Spanish. I paid the check of 131,111 pesos ($32.25) with my Capital One card and we took seats outside H&M for a few minutes. That’s when MT asked about renewing her passport. The same one I asked her about last year and last January and she wasn’t interested.

We returned to Envigado by taxi and MT went in to get her passport. I see her expiration date is August 17^th so that gives her a few more days.

I renewed my passport 3 years ago and Inter-Col charged me $265. I passed this info on to Teresa and told her MT will need a new passport photo so she could start with that. I texted Inter-Col and asked how much they charge to renew passports.

I read that ChessMood has unlocked their courses again through July 31^st so I started doing a few exercises.

I translated the recipe to Spanish and it’s ready for printing.

Kelly was supposed to come give Teresa a massage which would give me an hour to finish setting up Teresa’s cellphone but she never showed up.

I watched another episode of Critical on Netflix.
