Last night I went to bed at 9:30, fell asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 6am. 😊

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,529 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 31 minutes for a sleep score of only 84. A new high! 😊 But ChatGPT then reminded me I once had a high of 86.

Pigeons came by crying for food and I fed them sesame seeds from my hand. The points of their claws are pretty sharp.

I got my usual haircut from Daniel and took a Didi to Viva Envigado.

I quickly paid for the apt (no line) and other payments at the ATM (no line). I stopped in Jagi and picked up my hat that says, ANNIE JAMES’ GRANDPA.

 I bought a pull toy for Rebel in a pet store.

By then it was 10am and H&M had just opened. I found 3 different colors of the regular fit jeans but they didn’t have my 36/32 size in black. I bought another pair of blue and a gray pair for 300,100 pesos ($98.50).

Downstairs I had a latte in Urbania for about an hour. I stopped in Exito and bought pads, milk, hamburger buns before returning to the apt by taxi.

I exchanged a few things and quickly ordered another Didi to take me to Santafe mall.

We had a nice lunch in Crepes & Waffles for 74,200 pesos ($26).

Teresa bought a birthday dress for Laura for 359,900 pesos ($118) which we plan on mailing to her from Chicago.

We went down to Valentina’s and had coffee and shared a slice of cheesecake. We left about 5pm and returned in heavy traffic to Envigado.

This is a bird nest with young birds not yet able to fly. You can see it by looking out and down from the kitchen window.

I fed the same 2 pigeons some sesame seeds & a dry cookie that Teresa crumbled up in my hand. I noticed 2 small doves nearby observing the process.

I started my pre-sleep routine at 7:30 and went to bed at 9pm.

JOKE OF THE DAY

 

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year-old son.  They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are those, Dad?"
To which the father matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex."
"Oh I see," replied the boy pensively.  "Yes, I heard about that in health class at school."  He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?"
The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys; one for Friday, one for Saturday and one for Sunday."
"Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6-pack and asks, "Then who are these for?"
"Those are for college men," the dad answers, TWO for Friday, TWO for Saturday and TWO for Sunday."
"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12-pack.
With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied, "Those are for married men.  One for January, one for February, one for March......."
