Last night I went to bed at 10pm, took a while to fall asleep, got up at midnight to pee, fell back asleep quickly, woke up at 5am to pee, couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 5:30. ☹

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,051 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 4 hours and 55 minutes for a sleep score of 65. ☹

I arrived 10 minutes early to Unicentro mall, enough time for one trip around the outside perimeter. When I completed it I was the guy with the fruit cart and bought a banana.

I met Jose in Parmessano where we had our usual egg breakfasts.

We adjourned to the food court where I had the Black pieces in the first game. My 17^th move was a bad and I resigned on the 28^th move.

I had the White pieces in the second game and got some good pressure against his king. On the 40^th move, early in the endgame, he allowed me to fork his king and bishop, not gaining a piece but getting his bishop out of the game. At that point I was more confident of a win but he kept on playing eventually resigning on the 62^nd move.

It was 2:15 when I ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado. As usual the driver took backroads for the first half of the trip then switched to the expressway to finish it.

I had teriyaki chicken in Sarku’s, made an ATM withdrawal (all 100s at Davivienda), then a trip to the restroom. I was about to exit the mall proper when I realized I didn’t have my chess bag with me. ☹ I retraced my steps to the restroom then Sarku’s where they were saving it for me. Whew! 😊

I stopped in Exito and bought 3 oranges, 2 were normal sized but the last I suspect was really a mandarin, they just filled the wrong bin. I also bought a large cartain of eggs and returned to the apt by taxi.

Netflix is still asking me to pay my bill but still allowing me to watch movies. I watched another episode of The Handmaid’s Tale.

I did my pre-sleep reading from 8 to 9pm then watched Colombia beat the DR of Congo 1-0. On Medellin TV I found channels on a World Cup 2026 folder but too much buffering. I switched to the Telemundo folder and still had some buffering but it was acceptable.

I went to bed at 11pm, wondering how I would sleep tonight.
