Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 5:30.

Thanks! Wanna move.

I left the apt at 8:20 and arrived in Olivenza early and had a latte while I waited for Glenn to arrive at 8:55.

I filled him in on my experience with my Internista, Dr. Ricardo Restrepo, and he might use him as his own. He told me about a step tracking app named Pacer which I downloaded to my cellphone. I asked him about using Rappi to order from Pricesmart but he said he’s so tired of Rappi’s incompetence (they owe him 200,000 pesos in undelivered orders) he doesn’t use them any longer. And Pricesmart changed their app and now you can’t tell which location their product inventory is referring to.

I had their calentao with scrambled eggs and another latte.

I left at 11am and walked back to the apt. I can see the app is tracking me but I suspect it’s using gps and calculating my steps based on my height. (I changed my mind on that later when I went down some stairs and the app counted my steps.)

Teresa left at 12:45 and took a Didi to Parque Sabaneta to meet with a girlfriend.

I finished the last of my peanuts with a Coke while watching the Bears eke out another victory 24-20 against the NY Giants. The Bears are 6-3 but now their schedule gets much more difficult. Not sure how many more wins they will get with all the injuries they have.

I left the apt at 4:45 and walked to Clap Burger where I had their Classic Cheese Burger combo which came with fries and a Coke for 36,900 pesos.

Next door I noticed a tienda called OXXO which I’ve seen before but never been inside.

This time I did and it’s like a 7-11 back in the States, mainly snacks and drinks.

I returned to the apt and watched 60 Minutes on Medellin TV then started my pre-sleep reading routine.

We had a rainstorm come through from 7:30 to 8:30 and it returned at 9:15 and was still raining when I went to bed at 9:15.

 

FUNNY
