Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 2am, fell back asleep quickly, woke up again at 4:30, couldn’t fall back asleep, got up at 5:10, read until 5:50, went back to bed and woke up at 7:30. Kind of a mixed night, sleep wise.
According to my Fitbit, I got in 4,047 steps yesterday and
last night I slept for 7 hours and 20 minutes for a sleep score of 81.
Today is D-Day Remembrance Day!
I left the apt at 9am with my laptop in my backpack and at
Teresa’s insistence took a Didi to the mall for 5,800 pesos. As usual at this
early hour it was nearly empty, same with Urbania café where I set up my
computer. I’m at a table (my seat is 16-1) for 8 for coworking but today
there’s almost no one here.
Teresa told me she’s going to meet her mother here in the
mall later so maybe we’ll have lunch together.
I quickly realized I wasn’t getting a strong enough Wi-Fi
signal from Urbania to access Lichess.org and Chess.com. ☹ I could access the chess course but then it was
difficult to hear the instructor with all the background noise. ☹
I noticed this new standalone Greek Yogurt stand next to Urbania.
I won a game vs Troyclough when I was losing going into the
endgame, increasing my rating to 1503.
Glenn called and invited us to meet him today in his new
home. I told him I would first have to talk to Teresa.
I left the mall at 11am and returned to the apt by taxi.
We decided to visit Glenn after lunch if it’s not raining.
The rain started at 1:15 and was still coming down at 2pm so I contacted Glenn
and informed him we would visit tomorrow after breakfast – if it isn’t raining.
Since it was such a cool, rainy day I just hung out in the
apt.
Teresa opened the new box of Bisquick and with her own
recipe made a dozen little cakes using a muffin tin.
I got a draw vs chesswiz98, lowering my rating to 1502.
Expat: No, I don’t shop at Euro, so there has to be another
reason for those crazy transactions. I noticed some comment on Facebook about a
“card-processor batch event” last Monday so maybe that was the problem.
An interesting ad I noticed on Facebook.
I finished season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale then it
was time for my pre-sleep reading.

This is what a credit card processor batch event is - if one happened on Monday (source Gemini)
ReplyDeleteWhat may have happened last Monday wasn't a standard retail correction. It was a forced network-level override triggered by the Colombian card-processing grid (most likely Redeban or Credibanco).
When a massive local processor suffers a severe internal database crash or a reconciliation failure, they have the unique structural power to go to Visa and execute a blanket administrative correction. It looks and acts exactly like an unauthorized modification to you.
