Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10:45, fell asleep rather quickly, finally waking/getting up at 4:30.

Teresa’s 1^st package of bracelet clasps has shipped.

After breakfast I returned to bed and slept for another hour.

I left the apt at 8am and stopped in Eduardo Madrid but no bagels. In Pasteur pharmacy I bought 2 bottles of Vitamin E for Teresa for 134,195 pesos ($34.25).

I was surprised to see, from a distance, that Los Portenos wasn’t open. I put a peanut in the tree and had a latte in Ganso y Castor. A guy at the next table had a dog that looked a little like a bloodhound.

I asked him and he said it’s a Fino Hound, a Colombian hunting dog so you don’t see many of them in the city. I left at 10:15 and found this note on the door of Los Portenos.

I continued on to Eduardo Madrid but they still didn’t have any bagels but was told they will have some later.

I returned to the apt but Teresa was out at her gym class. She returned at noon and started making lunch.

Another cold day; only 72 degrees at 1pm with cloudy skies that look like rain.

After lunch I returned to bed and slept another 30 minutes.

We left the apt at 3:30 and took a Didi to Clinica Medellin. I paid 241,800 pesos ($62) for her procedure (mammogram & echogram) and after about a 20 minute wait she was taken in back. She returned about 30 minutes later and complained that they squeezed each breast 4 times but all appears to be good. Downstairs at another office she was given her x-ray results.

We went across the street to Boulevard café but we arrived 10 minutes before their 6pm closing so we went next door to Il Capuccino where Teresa had a chicken pastry and I a banana nut muffin and we each had a small café con leche.

I went next door to Linea Estetica and bought a bottle of my Cetaphil Urea 20% skin cream for 91,200 pesos.

We went to the taxi area but there wasn’t the usual man calling for taxis. Teresa finally caught one on the street who was waiting for his daughter to get off work but he said he could take us to Envigado if we didn’t mind waiting a few minutes. Fifteen minutes later his daughter came out and we returned in heavy traffic to Envigado for 20mil.

I finished an episode of Designated Survivor before switching to my book.
