Last night I went to bed at 10pm, was still awake at midnight so I got up and read until 1am, fell asleep, finally waking/getting up at 6am.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 8,378 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 4 hours and 35 minutes for a sleep score of only 60.

I had a 41-minute nap after breakfast.

I opened the sliding balcony door and soon the 2 pigeons were entering and begging for food.

I left the apt at 9am and completed my workout in Smartfit.

Here you can see the preformed curbs they put in the street; now I can see they do put rebar in the holes to connect them.

I had a latte in Los Porteños for about 45 minutes – until my table got too warm.

I stopped in Ara and bought salt and tomatoes.

I had a 16-minute nap after lunch.

We left the apt at 2:30 and took a Didi to El Tesoro mall. I found a pair of jeans for 149,900 pesos ($49). Other styles they had were either baggy or had buttons on the crotch. (Is that still what they use in the US navy?)

We had frozen yogurt with blueberries and crushed peanuts in Percimon.

We went down to the 2^nd basement level (S2) to Dollar City where we bought a box of freezer bags. (We need them to carry the bags of coffee cleanly and freshly.)

When we came out Teresa noticed we were around the corner from the entrance to Torre Medica and the second spot to catch a taxi. We soon were in one and returned to Envigado for 23,500 pesos.

I watched another episode of La Brea. I finished reading James Patterson’s I, Alex Cross on my Kindle. (My 5^th book this month.)  I decided to reread Why we Sleep to find out more about REM, Deep Sleep and Light Sleep and read the first chapter.

I went to bed at 9:30.

JOKE OF THE DAY

 

Remember Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes?

 

1. Andy Rooney on answering machines.
Did you ever hear one of these corny positive messages on someone's answering machine? “Hi, it's a great day and I'm out enjoying it right now. I hope you are too. The thought for the day is: "Share the love." BEEP”
"Uh, yeah...this is the VD clinic calling....Speaking of being positive, your test results are back. Stop sharing the love."

2. Andy Rooney on Vegetarians.
Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning "lousy hunter".

3. Andy Rooney on Prisoners.
Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner?  For forty thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few prisoners into my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows. I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And, if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator.

4. Andy Rooney on Fabric Softeners.
My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me, sniffing, then saying under their breath, "Married!" and walking away. Fabric softeners are how our wives mark their territory. We can take off the ring but it's hard to get that April Fresh scent out of your clothes.

5. Andy Rooney on morning differences.
Men and women are different in the morning. We men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, "How can he want me the way I look in the morning?" It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve.

6. Andy Rooney on Grandma.
My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, 'Sexy Senior Citizen.' You don't want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Out entering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday.
