Last night I went to bed at 10pm, don’t recall making a trip to the bathroom, waking/getting up at 5:45am.

Teresa had already left for her gym class.

I ate my last ripe banana.

I checked the FL warehouse and saw that a package arrived with tracking number 9505517071166057111046. (Later Jose confirmed that was his book with a debit card inside.) I sent a text message asking to release everything in my locker.

At 7:15 I started ordering a Didi and traffic was good and I arrived at Unicentro mall almost 20 minutes early for 18,700 pesos. The fruit stand was there and I purchased another ripe banana for 1,000 pesos. I quickly ate it then walked twice around the mall and still had a five-minute wait for the 8am opening. I went up to Shake and Shack and it’s a gym café with lots of things to eat/drink before/after your workout. (A Smartfit is right across the hall. They have waffles!)

I met Jose in Parmessano and we had our usual breakfast. Today I remembered to bring maple syrup but the French toast is so thick it’s a stretch to say it’s toasted. I also had 2 scrambled eggs and a latte for 55,000 pesos.

Innovation Corp sent me a photo of the contents of my locker and we tried to decode it:

These are US government mandated letters that have to be sent by my pension companies:

This says it’s from “Tribe Lacrosse”. This happened once before, an Indian tribe sent me some small gift asking for a donation.

Jose confirmed that zip code 82823 is from his son’s town in Utah so it must be the book with his debit card inside.

This package is from zip code 60035 which I googled and is Highland Park so it must be our Christmas presents have finally arrived. (Jeannie mailed them out on December 1^st.)

We adjourned to the food court and I had the Black pieces in the first game. Even though he had the advantage most of the game I managed to hold on for a draw.

I had the White pieces in the second game and it was even until I trapped his queen for a rook on the 30^th move but he kept fighting and finally resigned on move 56.

It was now 1:30 and I said goodbye and ordered my Didi to take me to Viva Envigado for 20,700 pesos.

Sarku’s wasn’t very busy and I found a table that wasn’t directly under their ceiling fans (which dries out my eyes). I ordered their chicken teriyaki with rice and a Pepsi for 37,700 pesos.

I stopped in Claro to pay our cellphone bills and my bill was ready but Teresa’s only had 4,000 pesos on it. ☹

I stopped at an ATM and withdrew 2,000,000 pesos.

Downstairs I had a latte in Urbania. Teresa texted me several times to inform me it was raining, then it wasn’t. I stopped in Exito and picked up a few things and got in a modestly long line but there were only two cashiers.

Outside I got in line for a taxi and there were still a few raindrops.

The power went out in our apt several times over the next couple hours but only for a couple minutes.

I watched the news, The Chris Hayes Show, read a little and went to bed at my regular 10pm.

 

RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW!
