To my close friends who worry about me. I have been writing things that interest me not telling what you want to know. Let me bring you up to date. I still sleep alone but I have friends who come in daily to check on me, except on weekends and then they usually want to text me to make sure I am ok.
I have been spending much of my time trying to complete my apartment and I am closing in on that. I have installed a island in the kitchen and painting on the wall and over the outside widow/doors that allows me to stay busy and have something to watch. I leave for Medelin Monday to get fingerprints so I can get a visa. Even had to pay the FBI for information about me. I can only stay in Colombia for 90 days with out a visa so I am working on that and after that I can apply for citizenship. I have learned enough Spanish that I can say all the necessary things like ordering a meal or buying a few groceries. My maid visits twice a week to handle laundry, clean the house, and prepare meals, often leaving salads or other dishes I request in the fridge. So, life is very good for me it is a little warmer than I am used to but I like the fact I can go set on my balcony any time day or night and not be cold. So far I think the hottest day was around 92 and the coldest is around 80. The grocery story is next to this building and I have a swimming pool one floor down when I want to swim I just go out my front door twenty steps get on the elevator drop one floor and step out the pool is right in front of me and a hot tub. Only it is not hot but that explains it better than I would be able to. I have been doing a lot of experimenting on fasting. I lost weight then I wanted to know the effects of food and mental wisdom. Thinking clearly and such so I have just finished gaining 15 lbs. on just over a week. Now I am back on the fast and doing different exercises mentally to see my own personal feelings of fasting.
I spend most of my time reading but still working on Book three of Great Eagle. I have a exercise bike in a spare bedroom even though down one floor is a gym.
I am doing good both mentally and physically so do not be worried about my care. After being checked out at the hospital with every test known to man they have assured me I am in good health. So, with my experience with doctors, I know I can count on twenty more minutes to live. Other than that, my friends feel better even though I tell them I paid over a thousand dollars to make them happy and I would rather have a beer and a new cigar than that assurance. Even though my lungs are in good shape so I donβt have to hear that anymore. Pedro, who is here daily, has a daughter who lives with him and is a medical doctor and he tells on me when I. well forget that I am doing good. Funny I had a cancer removed from my chest and when I went back to get the stiches out she was in the back seat and Emanual said donβt worry about being late Verl remember your doctor your appointment is with is right here.
