Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 2:45, took a little while to fall back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 7am.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,614 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 58 minutes for a sleep score of 80.

Teresa got up at 7:15, made my breakfast and returned to bed. (She said she woke up at 4am and couldn’t fall back asleep.)

Troyclough resigned our game increasing my rating to 1568.

I left the apt at 9am and found Smartfit as busy as usual. I completed my workout lowering the weight by 10# on half of the machines. I’ll keep them that way for the next 2 weeks then increase them by 5#. I completed 10 minutes on the treadmill with a final heartrate of 125bpm.

I see the roadwork has really progressed in the 3 weeks I’ve been gone.

Outside the old Ganso y Castor I saw this inside work going on.

I was having a latte outside Los Porteños when Brit came out. He informed me he heard the new establishment will be a hotdog or hamburger place. ☹ Hmm, maybe I’ll be able to get my coffee to go from Los Portenos then drink it outside the new restaurant if they put chairs out early enough.

I left the apt at 2:15 and walked to Gardenia where I noticed they poured a patio slab out back. I had a latte while doing another set of 12 chess puzzles, getting only 3 wrong this time. I played a 10’15” game, was way behind on time and barely won in the endgame when my opponent blundered his rook. I spent a little time going through my new chess book then left at 5:30 and returned to the apt.

I used FixIt to glue the master bedroom faucet back to the sink. Not knowing any better, I think Vicky probably loosed it when she was here for a visit. We’ll see if it holds.

I watched some news, got back to my 8pm pre-sleep reading routine and went to bed at 10pm.
