Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 11:30, again at 4:30 finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 4,109 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 5 hours and 29 minutes.

At 7am a drizzle started. ☹ At 7:15 I warned Jose I might have a problem getting a car. I didn’t but traffic was a little heavy and I arrived at Unicentro 5 minutes before opening for 26,000 pesos. I bought a banana at the fruit cart and had a short wait to enter the mall.

I went upstairs and took a short video showing Cine Colombia, Shake n Shack, Smartfit and Zonafit. The later is where i can purchase Creatine powder in the future.

Jose arrived a few minutes later and we ordered breakfast. I had my usual French toast with scrambled eggs and again today I remembered to bring my Canadian maple syrup. When it came time to pay, Jose couldn’t find his debit card. He had made an ATM withdrawal previously and must have left it in the machine. He hustled downstairs and luckily a security guard had turned it in to the Information desk.

I moved to our usual location but when Jose arrived he informed me the restroom was closed due to a burst pipe so we moved to our old location at the other end of the food court.

On our game days I’ve been buying a bottle of water in the restaurant to drink during my games but today the one they gave me was “con gas”, in other words, “carbonated”. After one sip I threw away the rest.

The first game ended in 37 moves with an absolute agreed up draw.

In the second game I made it very difficult for Jose to protect his king by castling and the computer later said I had a “decisive advantage” when on the 31^st move I blundered a rook and immediately resigned. ☹

It was 1:30 when I ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado for 18,600 pesos. The driver dropped me off at the main entrance and I went up to Pergamino and had the granola with yogurt and fruits. I think the couple next to me were speaking Russian.

I went down to the banking area and made an ATM withdrawal.

I went down to the main level and had a latte in Urbania.

With the help of ChatGPT, I figured out that the meaning of one of the Fitbit symbols is the number of flights of stairs I’ve climbed but I don’t believe the number they posted today – 24.

Teresa called and asked me to buy her green apples and dishwashing liquid in Exito.

I left at 4pm and bought what she requested plus a large carton of eggs and returned to the apt by taxi.

Kelly was supposed to come give Teresa a massage but she called and said she won’t be coming because she’s having some problem with her eyes.

With the help of ChatGPT I used Amazon’s Send to Kindle feature to transfer the 70-page Fitbit manual to my Kindle. 😊 I just have to be careful with the timing because once I exit a book I’ve borrowed that’s whose loan has expired, the book will no longer be available and I’d have to check it out again.
