Last night I went to bed at 9pm, took at least an hour to fall asleep, got up at 3:30 to pee, couldn’t fall back asleep, got up at 4:30 and read until 5:30, returned to bed, fell asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 7:30. 😊

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,487 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 36 minutes for a sleep score of only 75. ☹ Well, I hope that makes it easier to get to sleep tonight.

The street is a little wet so we must have had a shower overnight but I didn’t hear anything.

I left the apt just before 9am for Smartfit. I completed my usual workout including 10 minutes on the treadmill with a final heartrate of 120bpm. I did have some discomfort in my right knee.

A little work was going on outside Ganso y Castor, but nothing extensive.

I had a latte for about 45 minutes outside Los Porteños before returning to the apt.

I put on my sandals and left the apt at 2pm and stopped at the Bancolombia kiosk where I printed our Budget car confirmation.

I stopped at the Gana store to pay the Movistar (Wi-Fi) bill but the lady said I couldn’t and something about “10 days”. She recommended I return to the Bancolombia kiosk but there they wanted to send me back to Gana. I asked where else I could pay and was told, “$efecty”.

I stopped in Eduardo Madrid and purchased 2 kaiser rolls for Teresa to make sandwiches for the airport tomorrow.

I stopped in the Pasteur pharmacy to buy Hidroxicina Chlorhidrato for colds but was told, “agotado’.

I stopped at another pharmacy, Cruz Verde, but they didn’t have them either. I continued on to Gardenia where I had a cold latte and a glass of ice water. I completed another page of puzzles, getting 3 wrong. I played an online game and won that.

I left at 4:15 and walked down the hill to Centro Commercial Las Vegas where I asked at the Servientrega store but they don’t take Movistar payments either. The guy could only recommend Parque Envigado so I guess it will have to wait until we return from Chicago because I didn’t feel like running around any longer.

I stopped at 2 nearby pharmacies and finally found the cold medicine. 😊

I returned to the apt.

Today was another hot day around 88 degrees.

I watched another episode of La Brea on Netflix and went to bed at 9:30.

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

JOKE OF THE DAY

 

A man is on his Harley riding along a California beach when suddenly the clouds cleared above his head and, in a booming voice, God said, 'because you have been faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.'
The biker pulled over and said, 'I would like you to build a bridge to Colombia so I can ride over and visit my girlfriend anytime I want.' 
God replied, 'Your request is very materialistic; think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports require reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take!  I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for such a worldly thing.   Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly be of some help to mankind.'

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, ‘God, I wish that I, and all men, could understand women.  I want to know what she’s thinking when she won’t talk to me, why she cries for no reason, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, why she gets mad at me and complains when I try to help, and how I can make a woman truly happy.’

God replied: 'You want two lanes for that bridge or four?"
