Tuesday, December 23, 2025

Last night I took my Diphenhydramine and Zopiclona tablets and went to bed at 10:15. I got up once at 6am, and when I figured out it was almost time for my 6:30 alarm I decided to start my day.

I checkmated mekael965 in 71 moves, increasing my rating to 1510. I was up a queen and a knight but instead of resigning he fought to the end.

At 7:15 I started the process of ordering a Didi. I soon had a ride and it was only 4 minutes away. I arrived at Unicentro mall 20 minutes early for 18,100 pesos. I didn’t see Jose at the entrance so I walked around the little park for about 5 minutes. That quickly got boring so I crossed the street and walked around the mall which killed 10 more minutes. I only had another few minutes to wait before they opened the mall. I went up to Parmessano and Jose arrived 15 minutes later after he made a trip to the ATM. We ordered breakfast and I updated him on the latest Bears game.

We adjourned to the food court and he had the White pieces in the first game and soon got an advantage. I held out as long as I could but ended up losing on time on the 46th move. (I was in a lost position anyway.) I had the White pieces in the second game and I got strong pressure on his king and ended up mating him on the 51st move. (He said he didn’t see it coming. 😊)

It was 2pm when we said our goodbyes.

Teresa wanted me to pick up coco rejado but they were out of stock in Exito. Lucky me because the checkout lines were long.

I checked Didi and they wanted 38,000 pesos for a ride to Viva Envigado so traffic must have been horrible. I ended up getting a ride for 9,600 pesos to the Italian American Grill.


I had a cheeseburger and fries and a Coke for 47,000 pesos. I walked a block away to the Suramericana metro station where I took the metro to Ayura station and a taxi back to the apt.

I watched a couple more episodes of Mr. Mercedes on Netflix then watched the first 45 minutes of The Chris Hayes Show before starting my pre-sleep reading routine.

According to my step counter I walked 4,513 steps today, not bad for a Tuesday.

 

FUNNY
