Last night I went to bed at 10pm (2^nd straight night with a blanket), fell asleep quickly, got up once at 1am, fell back asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 5:45am with Teresa.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 4,980 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 22 minutes for a sleep score of 84 and a sleep efficiency of 93%. 😊

Finally, a clear sunny day!

I sent US Chess an email asking why I haven’t been received their Chess Life magazine.

I left the apt just before 9am and found Smartfit as busy as usual. I completed my workout with minor changes to the order of my routine, including 10 minutes on the treadmill with a final heartrate of 121 bpm.

I had a latte outside Los Porteños for an hour before returning to the apt.

Carrera 44A used to be northbound only but they changed it to southbound only because of the construction on Avenida Poblado but I don’t see many cars taking advantage of it, maybe they’ll be detouring them in the near future.

At noon I got dressed and walked to the San Marcos Church bus stop to catch a bus to Sabaneta. I only had a 5-minute wait and paid the 3,800-peso fare. They have a large traffic circle now by Porci Carnes. I remembered where to get off just before the bus turned west and it was a 2-block walk to the park and another block to Viejo John.

Teresa already had a table in the back near the toilets. She ordered the posta (flank steak) and I the solomito and we each had a Coke. My steak was tender and delicious, same as last time I ordered it here. I couldn’t even it all of it, and got the remainder to go. I paid the waiter 112,600 pesos ($35) and gave him a 5mil tip. (Teresa reminded me it’s voluntary here and I guess a lot of Colombians don’t tip the waiters.)

We walked a couple blocks toward Exito, took seats outside a casino and after a 10-minute wait caught a bus back to Envigado, getting off across the street from Aymara. Teresa headed to her craft class and I stopped at the Bancolombia kiosk and printed my chess games from yesterday and my updated list of daily medications. I went to Los Porteños and tried their malteada alfajore 

but it’s too sweet for me. (I’m just trying to find something without caffeine to help me sleep at night. I guess I’ll keep on searching.)

I paid the check of 19,900 pesos and returned to the apt. (I left early because I was dressed too warm; It looks like we’re back in our usual 78-82 degrees stage.)

I finished reading Harlan Coben’s The Best American Mystery Stories on my Kindle and had to log back on to my laptop to download something new.

I went to bed at my usual 10pm.
