Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, finally/waking/getting up at 6:30.

Well, the US bombed Iran last night and supposedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khemeini.

Teresa wants to go to that store in Sabaneta this morning, then have lunch in Viejo John.

I suggested tomorrow we have lunch in Mama Panda in Laureles but Teresa wants to go to San Vicente with Rosemary tomorrow. She says its two hours north of Medellin and we’d have to leave at 7am. Count me out. I’ll get up early for 7am flights but not for bus trips.

I lost a long game (42 moves) with the White pieces to chesswiz98, lowering my rating to 1529. My accuracy was very poor.

I took a Didi to Daniel’s barbershop where I got my usual haircut. I walked to Todo Drogas where I purchased a couple medications for the month. I stopped at a tienda naturista and purchased magnesium tablets and creatine powder for 174,000 pesos. My debit card was declined but luckily, I had enough cash with me.

I walked to Ganso y Castor where I had a latte for about 30 minutes before returning to the apt.

The magnesium I purchased is called Chelated Magnesium. I wasn’t sure if that was a brand name for the magnesium or if it meant a word like “blended”. Google translate was no help but ChatGPT confirmed it was a blend of magnesium oxide and magnesium gluconate. Per the bottle, each tablet contains 100mg and it suggests taking three but ChatGPT suggested starting with one tablet for the first week and we’ll see how my body reacts to it. Later I’ll try to get just the magnesium gluconate.

At 11:30 we took a Didi to the Domino’s in Sabaneta for 11,900 pesos. Across the street is the little store where they have simple plain purses (more like beach bags) and Teresa bought one for 14,000 pesos.

We walked a few blocks away to Viejo Johns where we easily got a table. She ordered the posta (flank steak) and a Coke and I the chicken plate and a mango juice.

We walked three blocks away to a mall where they have a Dollar City and Teresa bought a bamboo cutting board for 18,000 pesos to use with her latest project, decorating purses.

Outside we quickly caught a taxi back to the apt for 22,000 pesos.

I had a 30-minute nap then watched the news.

About 3pm, after the second peal of thunder, I unplugged the surge protector connected to the TV and of course we didn’t have any more thunder after that. ☹

About 4:45 Teresa shared an idea with me. I should go to Eduardo Madrid and buy 2 kaiser rolls then stop in Ara for a package of chicken breasts. I did, in a few raindrops, and luckily the complex gate was open both ways and there was no line in Ara. Teresa was surprised how quickly I was back.

Teresa made delicious chicken sandwiches for supper.

I watched the news about our new war with Iran, read some from my Kindle and went to bed at 10pm.
