Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets, went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, woke up at 4am, finally getting up at 4:30.

I showered hoping by being ahead of schedule I might be able to sneak in a nap before I order my ride.

Last night the Eagles beat the Packers, now the Bears are in 1^st place tied with the Lions, and the Packers are a ½ game behind.

Wanna move: Where in Mexico will you be moving to?

I bought Lee Child’s next Jack Reacher book Past Tense (#23 in the series).

It cost me 16,500 pesos to take a Didi to Unicentro mall. I found Jose waiting outside the entrance and we went up to Santa Leña for breakfast. I had the same as last week – a slice of French toast, 2 scrambled eggs and a latte. I brought Jose up to date on Halloween, The Bears, my visit with the Internista, and showed him new photos of my granddaughter. Today she’s 8 weeks old and here’s a new photo:

We adjourned to the food court where he won two games, the first in 23 moves and the second in 43 moves.

It was only 1pm when I ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado for 18,500 pesos.

I stopped first at a Tossot kiosk on the 2^nd floor towards the metro and had new batteries put in my Timex Ironman watch and my step counter for 25,000 pesos.

I took the nearby elevator down and cut through Exito to Auros where I printed a few chess pages then next door bought a new bottle of Cetaphil Pro Urea skin cream for 115,100 pesos ($30.50) in Medipiel.

I went upstairs and had my usual lunch of granola with yogurt, acai berries and other fruits in Pergamino. While there, Brit stopped by and chided me for not being in Los Porteños, in his usual humorous way.

I went down to the first floor to Urbania where I had a latte. This is a cute pattern they made on top of the foam.

The price has gone up from 10,100 pesos to 10,900 pesos unless they added a tip without telling me. I left at 3:30 and returned to the apt by taxi.

I tried my old step counter but it doesn’t seem to work any longer. ☹

I watched the highlight version of last night’s game and again for the Chicago Bears.

I watched two more episodes of The Diplomat, only one episode remaining.
