Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, waking/getting up at 6:15.

I left at 8am for Smartfit. I completed my workout but had to alter the order of the machines. Just bad timing.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor (another new waiter) but my photos of the squirrel taking the peanut were blurry. ☹

I won a game against Troyclough increasing my rating to 1567.

The battery on the new computer is completely dead. I have no idea how it could happen when I purposely didn’t turn it on. ☹ On the other hand, my new power cord is in Florida and I’ve released it for delivery. 😊

I received an email from Amazon that my package (Comet and plumber’s putty) is out for delivery.

I left the apt at 12:30 and took a Didi to the new side of Mayorca mall. Teresa soon joined me in Il Forno. She had the salmon and I tried their chicken Cesar salad. We each had fresh juices, mango for me and mandarin for Teresa and the check came to 117,126.

We went down two levels and to the other side to Louis Barton but when I took my two shirts out of the bag the receipt wasn’t there. It appeared they weren’t fazed and would allow me to make an exchange. I ended up trading my two large slim fit shirts for a size 40 and two large regular fit for an additional 30,000 pesos.

We returned to Envigado by taxi and Teresa got out just down the hill from the cultural center for her crafts class and I continued on to the apt so I could drop off some things.

As I entered the porteria the porter handed me a small box that contained my plumber’s putty and a container of Comet for Teresa. (Those were both things that, according to ChatGPT, I wouldn’t be able to bring on the plane from Chicago.)

I walked to Los Portenos where I had a latte and killed a couple hours going through one of my chess books. I saw this snack special sign on my table

Not bad, a dessert, a café, a bottle of water, and a 35% discount coupon for Americanino.

I left just after 5pm and found Teresa already sitting at a table in Eduardo Madrid bakery. She had a quiche and a Coke and I splurged and had a cinnamon roll and another latte.

We left at 5:45 and returned to the apt.

I watched another episode of Hostage then switched to the new and that’s when I learned some important conservative guy named Charlie Kirk had been assassinated in Utah. Well, until America resolves their 2^nd amendment issue there’s going to be a lot more assassinations and mass shootings because you can’t have armed guards protecting everyone.
