Last night I went to bed at 10pm, the rain woke up at 1:30, quickly fell back asleep, finally waking at 4:30 and getting up at 5:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 7,046 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 4 hours and 7 minutes.

Teresa got up soon after me and left at 6am for her gym class.

I watched Anna Cramling win a game against an 1800-rated kid. She now has a record of 2 ½ in 5 games and her next game is 10am our time tomorrow.

I captured this screenshot of Annie James from a Facebook post.

Teresa returned just before 7:30 and made breakfast.

I had a 30-minute nap after breakfast then walked to Tostao where Marcos soon joined me. His toes are still painful and they leave April 22^nd for Madrid so hopefully they’re better by then. I won’t see him again until mid-May.

Following google maps I walked 8-minutes away to the address Teresa had given me. It’s a daycare center. At the corner though was an Ophthalmology clinic but they have never heard of this doctor.

I was back at the Las Vegas strip mall by 10:30 so I had a latte in Peccato for 8,900 pesos. Teresa called at 10:45 and added a couple things to my shopping list. I left at 11:15 and stopped in Mercado Madrid and purchased a few groceries before returning to the apt.

When I told Teresa the clinic didn’t know this doctor she told me I’m supposed to google him not go to the address she gave me. ☹

I see Operation Hail Mary (8.4) is playing in Viva Envigado at 2:20pm, so I should be out about 5:30. Teresa is busy finishing a purse and she doesn’t like long movies (2 hours 36 minutes) so she won’t be joining me.

I read about a Super El Nino that may be coming and ChatGPT says that should mean hotter, drier weather for Medellin.

I left the apt at 1:15 and walked to Viva Envigado. (I had only gone a block when I realized I left my cellphone recharging on my desk. ☹)  I recycled 2 batteries and 2 pill containers then went up to Cine Colombia. I thought they might take my Platinum card away because I didn’t see 30 movies last year, but they didn’t. I added 100,000 pesos thinking I only had a few left but then found I had a 180,950 pesos balance. I purchased a preferred seat to the 2:20 showing of Operation Hail Mary for 10,000 pesos. I went into Claro and paid my cellphone bill of about 81,000 pesos but Teresa’s balance is still zero.

I made an ATM withdrawal (all 100’s) then took a seat in Cine Colombia’s lobby for a few minutes until closer to the start of the movie. At 2pm I made my last trip to the restroom, bought a small popcorn and large soda for 24,900 pesos and took my seat in the theater. Coming attractions showed a trailer of a Michael Jackson movie coming out in July that might be good.

The movie wasn’t as great as I thought it would be but it was interesting. I was happy I didn’t have any trouble hearing the dialogue and I made it through the 2-hour 3-minute movie without having to make a trip to the restroom.

It was just after 5pm when I exited the theater and since I didn’t have anything to carry, I walked back to the apt.

I watched another episode of The End of Us on Stremio, a little news then it was time to start my pre-sleep routine.
