Tuesday, August 26, 2025

Last night I took Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night to pee and put on a little more Caladryl for the itching, finally waking/ getting up at 6:15.

Well, it finally happened, I forgot to bring the chess set.

I took a Didi to Unicentro mall and arrived just a couple minutes before they opened. Jose texted me he would be stopping at the ATM before meeting me in the restaurant. I took out usual table and he arrived 5 minutes later. He ordered an egg casserole and I the French toast. Teresa left me a voice mail message that Jose understood right away; I had forgotten the chess set.

After we finished eating, he went to his apt to retrieve his set while I went to 2 pharmacies and Medipiel to complete our Dermatologist’s prescription.

His chess clock didn’t work but I had him remove and reset the batteries and it worked for both our games.

I had the Black pieces in the first game and he was beating me soundly being up two pawns. But he misplayed an exchange and I ended up a Bishop and he resigned on the 45th move.

I had the White pieces in the second game but I made an unsound sacrifice and lost in 33 moves.

It was just before 2pm and I knew traffic would be horrible so I deposited 125,000 pesos in Sindy’s Bancolombia account and took a Didi to Italian American Restaurant across the street from Estacion Suramericana.

I had their 11” pizza with Italian sausage and a Coke for 48mil.



It was very good, I ate 4 slices and got 2 slices to go. I figured the odds were 50-50 I would find someone to gift the leftovers to before I arrived at the metro station. Nope, I didn’t see anyone worthy.

It only costs something like $1 to take the metro from wherever you are to whatever station you want. I transferred at San Antonio and got off at Ayura and took a taxi back to the apt.

When I entered the apt Teresa explained her mother was getting an x-ray on her hand as it may have broken from her fall and we may need to go get her. (We never heard from her so supposedly she returned to the apt.)

Teresa told me a sob story about a man she met in the hospital waiting room whose daughter fell and broke her hip.




Supposedly, her surgery is tomorrow so we’re going to stop at the hospital and see if we can pay the bill of less than 200,000 pesos. We’re not sure if this is a scam or not but tomorrow, we’ll find out.

Much later, Laura sent us an article about a girl in the US that is in the hospital after consuming too much vodka. It’s the same girl/photo.

At 9pm Teresa informed me that MT is still at the clinic. I asked her if she’s going to be sleeping there and Teresa responded they haven’t even read her x-ray yet. So, I have no idea what’s going on.

I watched another episode of Reacher then read some more of my book.

 

FUNNY
