Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 11:30, finally waking/getting up at 5:30.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 5,170 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 57 minutes for a sleep score of 82.

I had a short nap after breakfast.

I left the apt at 9am and walked to the mall where I recycled a couple batteries and a plastic bottle. Upstairs Servibanca still wasn’t dispensing cash but I was able to withdraw 2 million pesos from a Davivienda ATM, luckily all 100s.

I had a latte in Urbania for about an hour. I completed another page of 11 puzzles, getting 3 wrong. I left at 11am and upstairs bought a little picture book for Annie James.

I walked back to the apt.

I tried taking a nap after lunch but couldn’t fall asleep.

I left the apt at 2:30 and had a latte in Otra Parte. Around 4pm it got busy and there was a short line so I paid and returned to the apt.

I watched another episode of La Brea on Netflix.

At 6pm I put on the Bears game on Fox 32 but got so much buffering I switched to DAZN. They had a little technical difficulty early on but it soon got better.

Mr_Blamo (Michael) challenged me to a game on Chess.com. He’s back in Prague but will be returning to Chicago this Wednesday. I invited him to join us on Saturday for pizza and the Bears last preseason game at the Countryside Saloon in Des Plaines.

I was on the recliner when this pigeon came into our apt

I watched the Bears lose to the Cincinnati Bengals 27-9. I did get my microwave popcorn and a Coke.

At 9:15 I started my pre-sleep routine, going to bed at my usual 10pm.

JOKE OF THE DAY

 

An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.   As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son; do your best, and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....
