Wednesday, July 30, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 1am, seemed like I never fell back asleep, finally getting up at 7am.

I left the apt at 8:30 and completed my workout in Smartfit. I had a latte in Ganso y Castor before returning to the apt at 10:45.

Once again, I tried ordering that chess book from ThriftBooks.com, this time to be sent to my son, but again got a billing error for some unknown reason. I found it on Amazon and added it to my cart.

I see on July13th there was a Budget.com prepayment to my USAA credit card of $758.22.

I see Microsoft is charging me $1.99 a month for an MS Office Basic subscription but I purchased MS Office 2021 back on November 17, 2022 so I cancelled the subscription. From my MS account I can see it is aware of the existence of my new HP laptop.

Teresa returned just after noon and I think she’s going to try to make broccoli cheddar soup later.

Since my Capital One card hasn’t worked I’ve been forced to use my USAA debit card but I now see USAA refunds up to $10 of my ATM fees. 😊 I’m tempted to switch my cards and use my USAA debit card as my primary and my Capital One debit card as my savings/backup. Naw, I’m not going to change anything right now.

Teresa finished making the soup and we had it for lunch with some croutons on top. It wasn’t exactly the same as Potbelly’s but it was still very good, and very filling. I couldn’t find sharp cheddar cheese in Exito the other day so I got mild and Teresa substituted whole milk with 2% so there’s that difference. Next, she wants to try to make creamy chicken rice soup.

I can’t believe the 2nd rate plumbing they have in this country. In our master bathroom the outlet hose/pipe from the sink isn’t attached to the wall. I think some plumber’s putty might do the job, at last until it dries out, which should be years. While we were under the sink, I also found the tube of Vanos topical cream that’s been missing for years.

Teresa approved Barcelo Bavaro Palace for our end of the year vacation in the Dominican Republic, but for 10 nights, Booking.com wants $4,654 and the hotel wants $4,282. Wow!

I reminded Teresa she needs to have her breast implants changed so we’re going to do that in lieu of going on a nice holiday vacation.

Yahoo says, “Your email storage is full.” In fact, it’s at 142.4%. I spent some time deleting emails but once I got below 80% Yahoo stopped making it easier. I finally got it down to 15.9 GB used of 20 GB.

I finished reading Ken Follett’s The Man from St. Petersburg on my Kindle.

Tonight I only took ½ of a Diphenhydramine with my Zopiclona.

 

FUNNY
