Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm. I quickly fell asleep, got up once at 12:45am, finally waking at 5:30 and getting up at 6am.

Teresa had already left for her gym class.

Teresa returned at 8:30, made me breakfast and since I have to wait about an hour after eating I went back to bed for 45 minutes, only sleeping a little.

Teresa explained she has a Christmas party tonight at the cultural center and do I want to come? If it’s the same as last time I just hung around trying to get a Wi-Fi signal, so no. I told her I could wait for her at the new café we found between there and Mi Casita Parilla. I checked my blog but I couldn’t see where I wrote down its name. I couldn’t find it on google maps either. ☹

I left the apt at 9:15 and found Smartfit about at busy as usual but still had to change the order of my routine a couple times. Their wall clock had been missing for a few weeks but today it’s back although it’s still 10 minutes fast, so it’s probably intentional. I completed 16 minutes on the treadmill at 6km/hr with a high pulse rate of 128 bpm. 😊

When I arrived at Ganso y Castor I was surprised to see all the outside tables were taken. I sat down at the nearest concrete table but 5 minutes later one of the customers came over to inform me there was now a table available.

I left at 10:45 and returned to the apt.

Teresa suggested we could now be in summer because we’ve had a couple days without rain.

I finished season 2 of Downton Abbey.

We left the apt at 6:30 and walked to what was the location of Mi Casita Parilla. 

Teresa informed me they had a 10-year lease so I guess it expired. We went around the corner and down the block to the new café which I now see is named Café Fika and is at Carrera 45A #34sur-24.

Teresa had a palito de queso and a sip of my latte then went to her party. I finished a small cheese croissant and my latte then left at their official closing time of 8pm even though there were still 2 couples still hanging around.

I walked to the edge of downtown and took this photo of some Christmas lights then continued on and through La Buena Mesa to our apt.

My step count for today was a much better 6,801.

I was slightly concerned I might have trouble sleeping because of my late night caffeine.

Teresa returned at 10:15 and I went to bed.
