Saturday, June 13, 2026

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, a trip to the bathroom at midnight, fell back asleep quickly, another trip to the bathroom at 5am, couldn’t fall back sleep, got up at 6:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,747 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 41 minutes for a sleep score of 76.

The final score last night was USA 4, Paraguay 1.

Teresa got up at 7:30 and made pancakes. After breakfast I went back to bed and finally slept for about another 30 minutes.

Teresa wanted to go with me to Mayorista where I buy my Badia tea so she can buy a piece (not sure what term I should use here) of salmon.

We left the apt at 12:30 and took a Didi to the restaurant Amazonia for 11,400 pesos. The restaurant was crowded but I spied a small table inside. A waitress explained there was a line but when we walked to the corner the 4 people sitting on the curb weren’t alone, around the corner were at least a dozen more.

We went down the block to the Badia location but it was now Makeina and when I googled Badia, their Medellin store is permanently closed. It looks like they have domicilios (delivery to your home) if I could figure out how to use the app and pay for my tea.






Teresa bought some things in the store then I took her inside the mall and up to the 3rd floor to the food court where she chose a restaurant with traditional Colombian food. She also got a couple containers of frijoles to go and the total check was 70mil.

We quickly caught a taxi back to the apt for 15,000 pesos.

Still no internet so I packed up my laptop and went to a not busy Gardenia. I updated my blog and completed another chess lesson. This time I won 2 games, finally the last player was strong enough that we actually played a book opening. I left at 5pm and returned to the apt.

Still no internet but I finally figured out the problem…I didn’t pay the bill I received last Saturday so I guess they only give you a 4-5 days grace period then they cut you off.

I went to the Gana kiosk and after waiting about 20 minutes for an old lady to buy all her lottery tickets I finally paid the bill. I took a walk through the park to check out the crowd and see how many restaurants were showing the current World Cup match. Now until mid-July there will probably be a game on all the time.

I talked to Juan and Glenn is in isolation with a bad virus that’s causing his coughing and they’re only allowing one visitor at a time and they have to wear a mask and robe to prevent the virus from infecting others. Tuesday or Wednesday he’s going to be discharged and they are moving him into a hospice care home in Laureles as he certainly doesn’t need a place with a gym and pool.

I see the Scottish team qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years and they beat Haiti 1-0.

I finished reading Target Alex Cross by James Patterson.
