Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, woke up at 6am and got up at 6:45 with Teresa.

I forgot to mention our package arrived yesterday. Teresa got a small pack of bracelet clasps and I got a couple chess books I’d ordered and a Chess Life magazine.

We’re out of eggs so I only had an English muffin for breakfast.

I met Marcos outside Tostao at 9:30 where I told him about our trip to Chicago and he told me about life in Phoenix with temps of 110-115 degrees. He thinks the Arizona Cardinals can win 10-11 games this year. He asked me if I’ve seen any of the colorful birds called Guacamayo flying around; I told him I’ve only seen Macaws. I found out later it’s the same bird, just the Spanish word for them vs the English word.

Marcos left at 10:30 and I moved to Peccato where I had a latte while starting my new chess book on The Pirc defense. I left at 11:30 and returned to the apt.

It’s 1pm and its raining and I haven’t heard from Teresa about meeting for lunch.

Teresa called at 1:15 and asked me to meet her for lunch at Casita Parilla. I agreed but couldn’t find them on my Didi app. I checked google maps and found it’s called Mi Casita Parilla not La Casita Parilla as I originally thought. I found it on Didi and my ride was only 5 minutes away. When I arrived, Teresa was already eating her lunch. I had the chicken breast, same as Teresa and we both had Cokes. I don’t recall the total check as I didn’t understand so just handed Diego 2 50s and he gave me my change.

We walked down to MTs apartment and she handed me a little paper bag with her 3 passport photos. (I thought that was where we were headed next but she had already taken care of it.) I gave them to Teresa to hang onto. They headed to the little café named Perinto while I went across the street, printed the broccoli and cheese recipe in Spanish and bought a large carton of eggs in our favorite brand. I met them at the café and MT and I had lattes while Teresa had a granizado. We had another brief downpour while we were there.

We left at 4pm, walked MT back to her building and returned to the apt by taxi.

I managed to sign in to my Microsoft account 😊 and got Windows 11 set up. Still left is to make sure all my apps are on my new computer and how do I move my data from the c: and d: drives to my new computer?

While my new computer was getting setup, I finished watching the first 6 episodes of Critical on Netflix.

Dang, a couple lesions have returned.
