Monday, December 22, 2025

Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 9pm. I got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

Teresa got up at 7:30 and made breakfast. I returned to bed for a 45-minute nap, finally leaving for the gym at 9am. I arrived at a Smartfit a little busier than usual. I saw Stacey again and confirmed his name and he’s from Canada. There was a man at a machine next to mine with a Chicago t-shirt. I pointed to it and said, “soy de Chicago” and he replied in English, “you’re from Chicago?”. 😊 Today I added 5# to the Abdominal Crunch, Lat Pulldown, and Back Extension machines. I increased the treadmill to 17 minutes and recorded a high pulse rate of 126bpm.

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

I left the apt at 2;30 and had a latte in Gardenia while going through some chess notes.

I played poorly and lost a game to certain_letter, dropping my rating to 1506.

I left at 5:30 and returned to the apt.

I watched the first two episodes of Mr. Mercedez (7.7) on Netflix; the pilot episode got me hooked.

I watched the first 45 minutes of The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW then read a little from my new book, Lisa Jackson’s If She Only Knew on my Kindle.

Teresa happened to mention that MT is going to Caldas so we won’t be having Christmas dinner at her house after all. I confessed to her that I ordered an apple pie to be sent to abuela’s apt on that day. I was preparing a text to cancel or switch the order to our house when Teresa mentioned that Wilson will be home. I asked Teresa to be sure he saves a piece of pie for his mom.

I went to bed at 10:15.

 

According to my step counter I walked 4,581 steps today. I’m hoping that someday that will be my minimum every day.

 

FUNNY
