Wednesday, November 5, 2025

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

Teresa quickly made me breakfast before leaving for the gym which allowed me to leave for my gym at 7am. I stepped outside and there was a light drizzle. (It’s one thing to come home in a drizzle but its another to go to the gym with its air conditioning and I’m all wet.) I returned to bed, set a timer for an hour and quickly fell asleep. The alarm woke me I dressed and headed out for the gym at 8am. As soon as I reached Ave Poblado a Colombian asked me where clinica Las Americas is. I told him (in Spanish) the next corner and across the street. I found Smartfit busier than usual and had to wait several times to use various weight machines. Today I completed 13 minutes on the treadmill, with no incline, and a maximum pulse rate of 127bpm. (Later when I discussed this with ChatGPT we decided we will continue this same workout on Friday.)

Breaking news: Annie James slept through the night for the first time.



Well, six hours at least. 😊

I had a latte for about 90 minutes in Ganso y Castor before returning to the apt.

Teresa informed me a compañera (companion?) died so there won’t be a crafts class today. I suggested we go to Exito and purchase a new washing machine but she wants to wait and see if there’s going to be a mass for her.

I lost a game to Troyclough lowering my rating to 1540. (Best not to play chess on no sleep!) More losses pending.

Teresa talked to Kelly and I it looks like she’s going to take our old washing machine and our ceramic planter that we used to keep on the balcony.

I read that Medellin TV will be moving to a different delivery system than the Amazon Firestick. I tried setting up an account with Walmart but got the error message, “Unfortunately, we can't create your account.” I tried using a VPN and also a different browser (chrome) with the same result. I’ll ask Marcos if he can bring back the new hardware I need.

Teresa told me Kelly will be coming at 4:30 to give her a massage.

We both had a short nap after lunch.

I left the apt at 2:30 and had a latte in Los Porteños. I stopped in Ara on the way back to the apt and bought 2 bottles of liquid laundry detergent and 2 containers of dish washing soap and a bag of milk. The total of those purchases was 20,000 pesos, about $5.25.

Teresa informed me that Kelly won’t be coming after all.

I started looking at the Simplified Chess Improvement System lesson that was an upgrade of Next Level Training that I haven’t addressed in some time.

We had a little rain in the evening.

I watched another episode of The Diplomat then switched to MSNBC news.

 

FUNNY
