Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, a trip to the bathroom at 12:45, fell back asleep quickly, another trip to the bathroom at 5am, couldn’t fall back sleep, got up at 5:30, downloaded a new book and worked on my blog notes, returned to bed at 6am, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 4,968 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 35 minutes for a sleep score of 74. My sleep score seems to be gradually getting worse.

It took a while to balance my USAA checking account because of those 6 crazy transactions. I had the payments and credit reversed. Like others, I lost a few bucks on that error.

I finished season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale; two more seasons to go.

Teresa warned me that because this is a holiday weekend there will be a lot more people out. If it’s that bad we just won’t do that again.

We left the apt at 11am, pick up MT at her apt and continued on to Exposiciones station. A bus was about to leave but it was nearly full so we waited about 15 minutes for the next one and got our usual seats in the back.

The trip usually takes an hour to an hour fifteen minutes but today it was an hour and a half.

I spotted this Weber Grill store just outside El Retiro.

It was just before 2pm when we arrived at Lomo Fino and there was a short line.

When we finally got a table, both of the ladies had chicken and a glass of fresh juice while I had the solomito and a Coke for 183,000 pesos ($52.08).

We walked down to a busy El Retiro Café but got the last table, which was small with stools instead of chairs. We each had drinks and shared a slice of a not so fresh apple cake.

We left at 5pm, walked back down the hill to the bus station and soon were on a bus back to Medellin. An hour and 30 minutes later we were back at Exposiciones station. Taxis were waiting for us and we easily returned to Medellin.

I started reading James Patterson’s Cat and Mouse (Alex Cross #4) on my Kindle but it sure seemed like I had already read it. I did a search on my book list but didn’t get a hit. I searched my blog notes and found I read it May of last year. When I went back to my book list, I saw the title of a book was missing for that month, so that explains it. I’m glad it was free from Libby.
