Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, woke up once at 12:30 but quickly fell back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 5:30.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 6,074 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 51 minutes for a sleep score of 75 and a sleep efficiency of 93%.

Wow, I slept through the night. Maybe I can attribute this to the fact I skipped having a latte (caffeine) in the afternoon?

Well, today completes my 81^st trip around the sun. 😊

Still no progress on getting the ice maker to work again. Before I left the apt I turned it off, removed the tray, replaced it and turned it on again so we’ll see.

I arrived at Unicentro early enough to walk 4 times around the mall. A new world record!

Jose and I had our usual breakfast in Parmessano. He informed me he hasn’t been feeling well lately so he’ll probably be skipping the chess tournament.

We adjourned to the food court where I had the Black pieces in the first game. We each had our chances with attacks but I ended up losing on the 36^th move. It was now 11:30 the typical length for a game – 2 ½ hours.

I had the White pieces in the second game and he was up a pawn with a strong attack but I held on for 67 moves and the draw. We finished just before 2pm.

I ordered a Didi to take me to Pricesmart.

I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and a Coke in their food court for 16,800 pesos.

I bought 3 turkey breasts, a package of ground beef, a package of Johnsonville breakfast sausages, 2 jars of Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves, a package of walnuts, and a bag of fun size candy bars for Halloween for 448,736 pesos ($137).

I returned to the apt by taxi for 23,400 pesos.

We have ice again! Yay!

I watched another episode of Seal Team, then some news before starting my pre-sleep reading.

JOKE OF THE DAY

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.  Walking through the mall the surprised wife looked up, noticed her husband was nowhere around and was very upset because they had so much to do.  She used her cell phone to call her husband to ask him where he was.

The husband in a calm voice said, “honey remember the jewelry store we went into 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we couldn’t afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day”.

His wife said, crying, “Yes I remember that jewelry store”.

He said, “Well I'm in the bar next door”.
