Last night I went to bed at 10pm, didn’t fall asleep until maybe 2am, finally waking/getting up at 6am.

On nights like that I should get up after the first hour and take a Diphenhydramine, only as an emergency.

Wait, when I got up, I saw the package of Zopiclona still on the kitchen table, did I forget to take it? That would explain a lot.

After breakfast, I returned to bed and slept a little over 2 hours. I took half an Excedrin, took a shower and felt much better.

Teresa left at 10:30 to take her mother to the Envigado Cultural Center and we’re going to meet up at Mi Casita Parilla just before 1pm for lunch.

I did a few arm exercises with my 7# dumbbell.

I got caught up on my blog posts; I didn’t realize I was so far behind.

11:20 it started raining.

Both pigeon parents are cooing a lot, obviously trying to get the baby to move his ass out of the planter.

Because I deleted my OneDrive contents some months ago, I now have to copy the ChessBase 16 database files from the old computer to the new computer.

At 12:30 I ordered a Didi to take me to Mi Casita Parilla. The app said the wait would be 5 minutes but it was more like 25 minutes but when the car did arrive it was an easy trip down Ave Poblado to the restaurant.

I got the last table (it’s a small place with only 4-5 tables) and Teresa and MT arrived 5 minutes later.

They had the chicken breast while I had the ribs. Everything was good, ribs, fries, and salad.

Teresa told me she found a new café nearby so we went there and it was obviously a converted house and garage. A big place but I don’t know how they pay the rent with so few customers.

We left about 2:30, the Didi dropped off MT at her apt then took back streets to our complex because Ave Las Vegas was closed for some reason.

I ran next door to Ara and bought a bag of milk.

I finally got ChessBase 16 setup on my new computer. 😊

Next, I’ll try to tackle Rosetta Stone, now that I found the Activation IDs.

The rain continued most of the evening.

About 9pm some man out on the street was yelling for about 10 minutes, which got a couple neighborhood dogs barking and even after he stopped yelling they were still barking even as I was going to bed at 10pm.
