Last night I went to bed at 10:15 (still raining), fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:15 (still raining), fell back asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 6:15 before my 6:30 alarm.

At first my Fitbit said, “NO DATA” but later I got my Bluetooth reconnected.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 5,237 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 24 minutes for a sleep score of 83.

I ordered a Didi to take me to Unicentro and I expected with the wet pavement today it would cost 30mil but it was only 12,300. (I didn’t realize I had ordered a ride to Viva Envigado not Unicentro.) When my Didi arrived, the driver mentioned Viva Envigado but I corrected him to Unicentro. It took a minute to get it worked out but in the end I paid the original 12,300 with my debit card plus another 20,000 pesos in cash. I arrived early enough to buy a banana using 20 50-peso coins and walked once around the mall. I met Jose upstairs in Parmessano where we had our usual breakfast of eggs and coffee.

We moved to the food court where I turned off my cellphone as usual so it wouldn’t distract me.

I lost two quick games, one in 25 moves and the other in 22 moves. I haven’t been playing good chess lately, not sure if its due to old age or sleep problems. Maybe both?

It was just past noon when I turned on my phone and ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado for 19,000 pesos.

I went up to the 3^rd floor where I had my usual chicken teriyaki in Sarku’s. I checked my messages and Glenn had called at 9:39 but didn’t leave a message. Juan, his guardian, called at 9:41 and left the following message: Juan noticed Glenn was drooping on his left side so Juan took him to the emergency room. They did some tests and Glenn’s cancer has metastasized to his brain so now he also has brain cancer. ☹

I was contacted by Dr. Castano’s office and they changed my appointment to tomorrow morning at 10am so I’ll be missing gym.

Later after checking in with Juan I learned Glenn’s in clinic IPS PAC INCODOL which ironically is near Unicentro mall. I asked Juan to keep me updated.

I checked in Cine Colombia but they didn’t know anything about showing World Cup games this year.

I had a latte in Urbania for about an hour. Strangely, as I left the woman at the next table was smiling and staring at me. It was only later I realized I was wearing my “GIRL GRANDPA” t-shirt. 😊

I bought a few things in Exito and returned to the apt by taxi just as a downpour was starting.

The rain finally lessened by 4pm and I stopped at the Bancolombia kiosk to print our chess games then stopped in Eduardo Madrid where I bought a 5-pak of sesame seed bagels and a slice of carrot cake and returned to the apt.

I notified Teresa my urologist appointment tomorrow is now at 10am. She said she’ll go to the gym early tomorrow; I’ll be skipping it.

I spent some time figuring out how to download my PSA blood test results to my USB drive.

I lost a game to chesswiz98 lowering my rating to 1494. ☹

I deiced the ice maker which I have to do every couple months to keep it from clogging.

I watched another episode of The Handmaid’s Tale, some news, then started my pre-sleep reading.

We had rain in the evening and was still raining when I went to bed at 10pm.
