Thursday, August 14, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:15, couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up and started working on my new laptop.

It rained overnight and it’s still raining.

Teresa has some rash in various locations on her body and is now using the old bottle of Caladryl I brought from the States.

I downloaded Teresa’s lab results from her Monday blood test and put it on my USB memory stick for printing. Everything looks good, at least to my untrained eye.

I balanced my USAA checking account.

I made some progress on downloading ChessBase 16 then got stuck and emailed them. I think I’ll return to bed (it’s 5:15) while I wait for a reply.

I got up again at 6:45, had breakfast and returned to bed for another hour.

I met Marcos outside Tostao at 9:30. He says Johana thinks she might have breast cancer so she’ll be having lots of tests in the near future. We talked about our respective football teams, tariffs, and the Reacher series. I mentioned Alan Richman and Marcos shared he used to hang out with the body builder Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk) when he lived in New York; Lou was deaf at the time.

He left just after 10 because it looked like rain and since Peccato hadn’t opened yet I just returned to the apt.

Teresa wasn’t back yet from her manicure appointment.

My Amazon order has shipped and should be here by next Friday the 22nd.

I get so many fraudulent calls each day I put my ringtone on vibrate only.

The guy who rents our parking spot stopped by and paid 270,000 pesos for July, August, and September.

The squab is fluffing his feathers so he’ll probably be out of here soon.

I had problems with getting iTunes to work that took me a few hours to fix but ChatGPT helped point me in the right direction. I had moved the songs to the wrong file folder, I hadn’t pointed iTunes to the songs’ location, and per Apple, “5 computers are authorized to play content with this Apple Account.” I had to release a computer (the old one) so I could authorize my new one to use the Apple Id.

Well, it’s 1:30 in the afternoon and it took me this long to get my iTunes files copied correctly to my new computer and then I had to figure out an old password to go with my Apple ID so all of my songs would be available.

 

I left the apt at 3pm, printed Teresa’s blood test results (all good) at the Bancolombia kiosk then had a latte in Los Portenos. The steakhouse next door has closed for good, they were open for what, a year? I left at 5pm and returned to the apt.

I copied the Downloads file to my new laptop.

I checked out the next Kindle book using my library card.

Now I’ve got a rash also. Teresa denied using anything different to wash our clothes so I have no idea what’s causing it.

 

FUNNY
