Last night I went to bed at 10pm, took quite a while to fall asleep, got up once at 11:30, fell back asleep quickly, woke up at 5am and got up at 5:45.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 7,385 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 10 minutes for a sleep score of 71. (According to my Fitbit, it took me an hour and 54 minutes to fall asleep.)

Well, we leave for Chicago a month from today so I’d better get busy renting a car.

I had a 35-minute (per Fitbit) nap after breakfast.

I left the apt at 9am and found Smarfit very busy but soon realized most of the crowd was leaving. I completed my workout including 10 minutes on the treadmill with a final heartrate of 128 bpm. (I still have knee pain on the first rep of the Leg Extension machine. ☹)

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor for about 90 minutes and observed some flowers being delivered for Feria de los Flores.

I met a gringo named Randy, originally from Decatur, IL but most recently Sacramento. He’s 69 years old and is traveling the world looking for a place to retire. He does damage assessments for FEMA and he’s teaching ChatGPT Builder to do it so he can work as a private consultant in the near future. We exchanged phone numbers and he said he’ll return in December or January.

I left just after 11 and stopped in Eduardo Madrid and ordered English muffins for tomorrow, stopped in Ara and bought a pepino (cucumber) and returned to the apt.

I received an email from United Airlines of slight changes to our return from Chicago but no significant effect on us.

I ordered all 6 Step Method manuals and workbooks for $162.93 and had them sent to my ship forwarder in Florida.

I tried taking a nap after lunch but in the end just rested my eyes.

I left the apt at 2:15 and walked to Gardenia. I completed another page in my chess puzzles but got 6 wrong. ☹  I played a 15’+10” game on Chess.com and checkmated my opponent in 27 moves. It was getting a little dark and windy as I left at 4:30.

I stopped in Ara and bought a few things Teresa asked me to pick up.

Teresa got a massage from Kelly from 6:45 to 7:45.

In the end we didn’t have any rain today.

I watched another episode of Falling Skies, The Chris Hayes Show, then started my pre-sleep reading routine.
