Thursday, October 30, 2025

Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 12:30, finally waking at 5am and getting up at 5:30 with Teresa.

I met Marcos in Los PorteƱos at 9:30. He put in an offer on an apt in La Frontera but then decided it was too far up a steep hill and at the age of 74 he didn’t want to have to walk it multiple times each day so he backed out of the deal. As a thought experiment we talked about moving back to the US and just living in a room somewhere but decided we wouldn’t be able to afford health care.

He left at 10:15 and I stuck around and continued reading my new book on my Kindle. I bought a few strawberries (shrink wrapped in plastic) from a wandering salesman for 10,000 pesos. (When I returned to the apt Teresa said I was crazy to pay that price but I feel I’m supporting the local economy.)

For lunch we made broccoli cheddar soup again. It was delicious even though we made it with skim milk.

I took inventory and I have 58 Butterfinger candy bars to give out tomorrow. I must have bought 2 bags of 30 each and Teresa and I each had eaten one. I hope to get some nice photos of trick-or-treaters tomorrow.

Teresa didn’t want me leaving the apt so I binge watched more episodes of Designated Survivor on Netflix.

 

FUNNY
