Tuesday, July 28, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

The street is wet so we must have had some rain overnight.

The plan for today is I’m going to work on the computer this morning then after lunch we will go to Alcala to sign the new apt rental contract then I will go across the street to use the ATM.

Some years ago, I purchased Microsoft Office Professional 2021 and I have the 25-character license code to prove it. I asked ChatGPT how to move it to my new laptop and it first suggested I uninstall it on my notebook. I guess I’ll hold off on that for now. Time to move ChessBase 16 to my new computer first. I sent an email asking them how to do that. I got Outlook and ChapGPT set up.

I found the all-inclusive resort Barcelo Bavaro Palace for a possible December 23rd to January 2nd trip to Dominican Republic.

Teresa returned at noon.

I left the apt at 2pm and walked to the mall. I printed a copy of my new laptop configuration, withdrew 2,000,000 pesos from the Servibanca ATM, and deposited 3,000,000 pesos into Alejandro’s bank account (a loan to Esmeralda to be paid back December 1st) and 100,000 pesos into Teresa’s bank account (to pay for Netflix).

I was having a latte in Urbania when Teresa called just after 3pm and asked me to meet here in Alcala at 4pm to sign the new apt contract.

I left at 3:30 and walked across the street and a couple blocks away to Alcala where Teresa was waiting for me,

A young man had her repeat into his cellphone her name and cedula number then a code. Then he took a photo of her. Then repeated the same with me. After he moved to another desk, I took Teresa’s phone and looked at the sim card and strangely it had a Movistar sim with a phone number I didn’t recognize. I told Teresa something doesn’t look right and I need to look at her phone when we return to the apt. It turned out to be the young man’s phone, he left it on the table and it was black with a red cover like Teresa’s. 😊 That sounds like it should have only taken 5 minutes but it was at least an hour.

We walked 2 blocks to Wilson’s Bocados Bar where MT was waiting for us. I went through my cellphone while Teresa chatted with her mother. I mentioned we might be able to find hash browns in Philly Steaks in Manila, Poblado. Eventually, Teresa and I had a chicken breast plate and a Coke while MT had soup and the check came to 84mil.

In response to Wanna Move’s comment: I don’t have allergies so my runny nose is probably just a cold coming. Other than Bendaryl (Diphenhydramine), what are the safer options? I mainly use it to stop my mind from working when it’s time to sleep.

 

FUNNY

  2. chlorpheniramine, promethazine, hydroxyzine, triprolidine. These all cause drowsiness, good hunting for one that helps. My doctor put me on a sleep med that Medicare covers the cost of. I go to sleep quickly and only wake up between 5:30 - 6:30 AM to urinate. I need more sleep than you. I usually fall back asleep fast.
