Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm, took quite a while to fall asleep, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

Teresa said it was too cold today and didn’t go with me to meet Glenn in Olivenza. We discussed many things and he gave me an email address I could use to contact executive support in Amazon: Jeff@Amazon.com.

I started looking at the Cancun resorts:

Flamingo (4*; $2,270pp): too crowded at buffets, poor WiFi.

Crown Paradise (5*; $2,890pp): oriented towards families with children.

Emporio Cancun (5*; $3,063pp): most positive reviews.

 

Seadust (5*; $3,100pp): Slightly oriented to families with children.

But, in review, it’s going to cost $600 a night which is too much but maybe that’s because I’m including airfare in the total price.

I found the Hotel Riu Republica - Adults only - All Inclusive in Punta Cana for $1963pp but Laura told me she was there last year and “it was all right”.

I opened my large bag of salted-in-the-shell peanuts and divided into four smaller bags. I ate one bag of peanuts with a Coke while watching the Bears sneak out a victory against the Las Vegas Raiders 25-24. We needed that, now we’re 2-2 going into the bye week.

I watched another episode of True Detective on Stremio.

Teresa returned at 7:30 and declared she was hungry. She suggested Chiclayo but luckily I checked online and they closed at 6pm. She then suggested Kusi again but they closed at 5pm. She suggested the Argentinian restaurant but neither of us know its name and if the others closed early on Sunday I’m pretty sure that one does also.

We walked down to McDonald’s so Teresa could get a burger. She grabbed a table while I got in line. There was a teenage couple right in front of me and the kid kissed his girlfriend every 30 seconds. Nothing sexy, just a peck on the lips. It was only interrupted once when he kissed her fingertips. I placed an order for a McNifica combo with Coke and got in the line to receive the food and the guy was still going at it. I felt like telling him, “Well, it’s obvious she’s not your sister”. 😊

Teresa ate half her burger and I finished it and also had a lot of the fries.

I told Teresa my idea of going to San Andres for the holidays and she suggested Panama. That might work, but I’m getting tired of all the options.

I forgot to mention a few days ago I was lying on the recliner and when you get up you have to snap the foot platform part with your feet and when I did that I got a cramp in my thigh, first time for that location. I think it was because I missed the gym for a week and when I came back I didn’t drop the weight down for a while like I usually do.

So, when I went to bed my left thigh still felt tight. I’m hoping I don’t get a cramp in it during the night.
