Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10pm, got up several times during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.
Wanna move: Your birthday is on Halloween?
Teresa wants to have lunch out, specifically requesting La Tasca Campestre in Envigado. Once again, its located in Loma Del Escobero which means it’s up in the mountains with the challenge of getting there and returning. Not to mention it’s mainly seafood.
I was about to walk out the door when it dawned on me it’s
the first of the month when I usually go to Viva Envigado to pay the first of
the month bills. Oh well, it can wait until Tuesday.
I left the apt at 8:45 and walked the 7 blocks or so to Mundo
Huevo where I purchased a large bottle of seasoning and a package of Brazil
nut pieces.
I stopped in Ganso y Castor and had a latte and once
again the squirrel got to my peanut without me noticing although I did see it
when it returned looking for another.
I left at 10:45 and returned to the apt and Teresa announced
we have no running water. ☹ Not
sure how that affects our lunch plans. She also informed me the guy who rents
our parking spot stopped by and paid 270,000 pesos for October, November and
December.
Well, Teresa finally gave me the go ahead to repair our
Maytag washing machine. Step one was easy, removing the fabric softener
dispenser. It took a while to figure out that step 2, removing the inner cap,
was actually attached to the dispenser so I completed steps 1 and 2 at the same
time. Step 3 is unscrewing the bolt that holds the agitator in place. Checking
the socket wrench set I bought, the manual wrench only works on the larger
sizes and there’s just a hand wrench for the small sizes. I found an 11mm
socket that seemed to fit perfectly but with just my hand I couldn’t get a
strong enough grip on the handle. I got my vice grips from the basement and
using that to turn it I broke the handle into pieces. Well, that’s the end of
my DIY attempt.
I suggested Donde Albiero again for lunch. Well,
Teresa wants to wait until the water is back on - 1pm? 2pm? Then take a shower
before we head up to Donde Albiero, calle 36D sur #9-250. Sounds like
it’s going to be a very late lunch.
We left the apt at 1pm and took a Didi to El Correo
in Provenza for 14,900 pesos. I had the mixed plate with a piece of pork,
chicken, and steak with a baked potato. (The beef was tasty but a little chewy,
the chicken was good but the pork not so much.) Teresa had their chicken and we
shared a bottle of water.
For dessert we shared a slice of carrot cake (maybe the best
I’ve had in Medellin)
with a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream for a total of
232,613 pesos ($60), including tip. We weren’t in any hurry to leave but it got
a little cloudy and cooler and Teresa thought it might start raining soon so we
returned to the apt by Didi for 18,700 pesos.
The water came back on at 5pm and we both immediately
brushed our teeth.
I finished watching season 3 of Designated Survivor. I
often check on details of actors and I stumbled on the fact that the actor that
plays guapo Aaron Shore, Adan Canto, died 18 months ago at the age of 42 from
cancer of the appendix.
We haven’t had rain in a few days, maybe the rainy season is
over?
I watched the movie A House of Dynamite (6.5) on
Netflix.
Some nights I’ve been putting generic Neosporin on my shin
wound and finally I asked google about it with this response
I put some Vaseline on it instead.
FUNNY
