Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up just after 6am.

Teresa was already gone to nueve eps to for a doctor’s appointment. She returned at 7am and made breakfast. I went for my usual nap but didn’t sleep well. I left the apt just before 9am for Smartfit. I reduced the weights on the machines by 10# and was happy I didn’t have any problem on the leg extension. I was doing my 18 minutes on the treadmill when Michael stopped by. Something about it would cost $1,000 for a Colombian Visa so he’s just going to use up his remaining visitor stamp time this year. Btw, Stacy is in Santa Domingo, DR and Michael is thinking about sharing an Airbnb with him later. I told him about the e-ticket he will have to fill out for the DR.

I completed my workout then moved to Ganso y Castor for a latte. I brought ChatGPT up-to-date on my exercise and treadmill progress and it recommended I stick to the -10# for 2-3 weeks.

I texted Innovation Corp and it appears Fed-Ex handed off the package to USPS on December 15^th. ☹ The lady says USPS sometimes delivers packages up to 2 months late. Not sure whether to file a claim with them or wait a little longer to see if the packages still get delivered.

Teresa sent me a voicemail asking me to pick up a cucumber and tomatoes. I left at 10:45 and stopped in Ara on my way back to the apt.

The guy who rents our parking spot came by and gave me 300,000 pesos for January, February, and March.

After lunch, I left the apt at 1:30 and walked to the mall. I went up to the banking area and tried my new Capital One debit card in a Davivienda ATM. Each step was slower than usual and in the end it timed out. ☹ At the next Davivienda ATM I received a, “Transaccion con problemas. Intente luego.”. Another bank’s ATMs were out of order. If my debit card won’t work in stores or ATMs it’s useless to me. I will try again later.

I bought a cinnabon in Cinnabon (where else) and got it to go for Urbania. When I was opening it, I noticed these directions on how to reheat it.

Maybe it’s because I ordered it “to go”. Besides being huge I had no problem cutting it up with the knife and fork they included.

I’ve won my last 5 games and they’ve all been in 26 moves or less. 😊

I left at 4pm, and made a stop in Exito. I found imported oranges 😊 and bought 4 for 20,000 pesos so they were approximately $1 each. I bought a couple other things and returned to the apt by taxi.

Teresa cut up one of the oranges right away to share and I was a little disappointed it wasn’t sweet at all.

Teresa is frustrated with her mother and I understand she will be taking her to a doctor or audiologist tomorrow to get hearing aids.

Workers are making good progress on the new sidewalk.,

About 8:30 a downpour started.

I spent the rest of the evening watching the news, ending with the 9-10pm The Rachel Maddow Show, finally getting to bed at 10:30. It was still raining.
