Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm. I quickly fell asleep, slept through the night, finally waking/getting up at 5am.

With ChatGPT’s help I re paired my JBL headphones to my LG television.

We left the apt just after 8am and Teresa went to her Pilates class in Otra Parte and I continued on to Sao Paulo. (The red light was on my iPod so I thought the battery was dead but it worked both ways and then died.) I arrived early and ordered a latte and texted Glenn I was early. He arrived a few minutes later. I invited him for a 1pm Thanksgiving dinner at our place and he accepted.

I had the American Breakfast which was pretty good

He’s looking for a nutritionist so I told him I would ask my Internista next time I see him. I recommended he get the book Outlive by Dr. Peter Attea, MD.

I stopped in Carulla and purchased 4 imported oranges for 15,000 pesos (about $1 each).

I walked back to the apt and Teresa returned about 12:15.

I logged into ChessMood and continued Tactics Ninja with Section 23 – Destroying.

I found my abdomen ultrasound “photos” on Cedimed but I can’t figure out how to copy or download them.

We had another visit from our pigeon friends.

I think my old 8GB JAL TECH USB drive is failing because every time I put it in the port it tells me it has to be formatted first.

We had a short rainstorm early in the afternoon.

I had told Teresa that the Bears game doesn’t start until 4:25 our time so we have time to go out for lunch.

We left the apt at 2:30 and walked to Palogrande. The place is much larger than it looks from the front. We took a seat and Teresa ordered their chicken and a beer. The waiter suggested their rib eye steak (maybe because it was so expensive?) but I ordered the beef brisket and a mango juice.

My meat was delicious and so large I ate half and got half to go. There was also something on my plate that tasted like apple pie 😊 but the salad was almost all onion so I only had a taste. I checked NFL scores on my cellphone and was shocked to see the Bears were in the 4^th quarter, leading 31-28. I thought the game had been moved from 1pm to 4:25pm. ☹ The check came to 139,743 pesos ($37.50).

We returned to the apt and I put the game on DAZN and watched it from the beginning, only skipping halftime.

Another visit from our pigeon friends – they must think we’re family now

31-28 ended up being the final score so finally the Bears beat a team with a winning record but Friday at 3pm they play the 8-3 Philadelphia Eagles ☹ so that will be quite a challenge – especially with all their injured players.

I won a game vs chesswiz98 in 29 moves, increasing my rating to 1538.

In the evening we had a downpour but it only lasted about 20 minutes.

I watched another episode of Downton Abbey on Netflix.

My step count for today was 3,873. Not good.
