Monday, October 27, 2025

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

It’s drizzling lightly and I certainly don’t want to go to the gym carrying an umbrella so we’ll see; I still have 30 minutes for my stomach to digest before I would be leaving.

Photos of AJ (and family) getting her 40-day blessing in Ascension of our Lord (Greek Orthodox church) in Lincolnshire, IL.







Teresa asked me to skip coffee this morning because she wants us to go to City Plaza to get a doctor’s appointment and we’ll have lunch there.

The rain had stopped the only risk now is a breeze that might knock raindrops off the leaves of the trees. I left the apt at 8am and walked to Smarfit where I found it a little less busy than usual. I completed my workout adding 5# to the Back Extension and 1-minute to the treadmill (now 12 minutes, 2% incline at 4mph).

I walked to Ganso y Castor for a latte (I’m sure I can stay for a little while – I don’t think we’ll be leaving for lunch at 10:30). Brit soon arrived and we discussed health and aging. He said guanabana leaves are good for gut health and he recommended Life Extension at lef.org. I left at 10am and returned to the apt.

Teresa informed me the metro is running again 😊 but she isn’t feeling well so we’ll go to City Plaza another day.

Google says, Guanabana leaves, derived from the soursop tree (Annona muricata), are known for their numerous health benefits, including anti-cancer properties, immune support, and anti-inflammatory effects.”

I got a 58-move draw by agreement vs Troyclough, lowering my rating 1 point to 1534.

Teresa seemed to feel better after lunch. Again, she didn’t want me to go for coffee so we napped for an hour instead.

Wow, chesswiz98 resigned our game after only 21 moves (because he thought he was going to lose a knight?) increasing my rating 8 points to 1542.

I finished season 2 of Designated Survivor, watched some news, the end of the first half of Monday Night Football, then switched to my pre sleep reading routing.

 

FUNNY
