Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10pm. I quickly fell asleep, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6am. The street is wet so we must have had a little rain overnight.
Today is my daughter’s 37th birthday – Happy Birthday
Jeannie!
Uh-oh. I received an email from Capital One, “Capital One
is switching its debit card network, and a new card will be coming your
way in the next few weeks. Your card will be widely accepted, like it is
today. Keep an eye out for the Discover, PULSE® or Diners Club International®
logos.” This new card uses the Discover network that some gringos here have
complained about. ☹
I met Marcos outside Santa Teresa High School at 9am.
We walked to Docs Medical Coworking where he waited outside and I went
in to the reception desk. I handed over my test result hardcopies and got an
appointment for next Thursday at 2pm with Dr. Ricardo Restrepo.
We walked back to Sao Paulo and took a table in Olivenza.
I had a latte but he didn’t have anything because he’s had a stomach problem. His
older brother Marshall is coming for a visit next week for a goodbye tour
because he’s in bad shape and could die any minute. I told Marcos that’s quite a
responsibility to put on you as to dealing with his body. He left at 10:15 as
he wasn’t feeling very well. I left at 10:45 and checked in Carulla for
the jabon de coco liquido that Teresa requested. Agotado. I walked back to our
complex and checked in Tienda D1 and Ara and they didn’t have it
either.
I won a game in 35 moves vs chesswiz98 increasing my rating
to 1534.
I left the apt at 1:30 and stopped at the Gana kiosk
to pay the Movistar bill but their internet was down. I continued on to Los Porteños
where I ordered a latte with leche semidescremada. They brought it in a
different cup (glass rather than metal) and she said it was a new presentation.
It looked and was stronger than I liked – was that due my milk choice? I asked
the waitress to bring me sugar (something I don’t normally do) which kind of
defeats the purpose of not having whole milk. I was asked to move inside so
they could clean the canopy covering the patio. I left at 4pm and stopped at
the Gana kiosk but the lady wasn’t there. I stopped in Tienda D1
and bought a different brand of laundry soap and when I returned to the apt
Teresa showed me the small photo of a coconut on the front.
Teresa and I finished the apple pie; I suggested we buy one just
before Christmas and share half with MT and Wilson. I’ll ask Glenn about the
ordering details.
I watched another episode of Downton Abbey before switching
to The Chris Hayes Show.
This was a nice birthday present – Annie James has started getting vocal:
Today I recorded 6,185 steps – I hope my legs are getting used
to more exercise. We’ll see if I can complete my 16 minutes on the treadmill tomorrow.
A downpour started about 9pm and was still going strong when
I went to bed at 10pm.
FUNNY
