Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:30, finally waking/getting up at 6:45 just as Teresa was leaving for the gym.

Teresa returned at 8:15 and made my breakfast.

I left the apt at 9:30 and found Smartfit busier than usual. After waiting my turn a couple times, I finished my workout in the usual order. Saw one 35ish woman who obviously has had breast and butt implants and liposuction.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor and corrected Anthony’s pen by adding an apostrophe between the ‘y’ and the ‘s’. I left at 11am and returned to the apt.

Teresa left at 2:15 for her craft class.

I left at 3pm and walking past Barrio Sur Chris Cojeleas called out to me. He asked me when I’m going to Chicago to see my granddaughter. I explained I’ve already been there and back and I showed him a photo of Annie James. I told him I’ll talk to him soon so he could get back to his Liverpool soccer match.

I stopped in Pasteur and purchased a container of vitamin D capsules for Teresa. I asked about Creatine capsules but all they have is powder. (Later I found them on Amazon and added them to my shopping cart.)

I had a latte in Los Porteños while reading some more of my Kindle book.

I left at 5pm and walked to Eduardo Madrid bakery.

I’ve read that A identifier of health (one of many) is your hangtime (how long you can hold on to a chin-up bar). I know I don’t have a strong grip and I was curious but didn’t want to embarrass myself in the gym.

I walked across the street to one of those outdoor gyms and lasted 10 seconds on a chin-up bar. Not surprising.

Back across the street in the bakery I waited half an hour for Teresa to arrive. She was hungry so she had a quiche and a latte while my stomach was a little queasy so I just had a glass of water. I gave her the bottle of vitamin D capsules and she said they aren’t the right ones. (Later she checked and they are the same as she’s had, just a different brand.)

We left at 6:30 and I stopped in Ara and bought a bag of milk on the way back to the apt.

I watched another episode of Designated Survivor.

I finished reading Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake on my Kindle.

It was interesting but not my type of novel (although it is part one of a series and it ended on a cliff hanger). She has quite an imagination; it would have been interesting to see her high school English essays.
