Another work focused day. I worked from home in the morning and then headed over to the work space in the afternoon. On the way I got distracted, though, and had lunch at LUCIA in The Charlee. Pretty good Italian place, not overwhelming. Worked at the office for a while before gathering up my laundry for packing day tomorrow and heading back home. Started working when I got back home, forgot to eat dinner and called it a late but productive night.

Day 279 | March 1
Still feeling my deep-focus work vibe but now we are closing in on the end of our time in Medellin which means I have the usual changing city errands to run… much to my annoyance. This meant I felt rather harried even just getting out of the apartment to drop off laundry. I worked at the work space for a while and then went over to Alambique to continue working with the assistance of snacks and drinks. The time had finally come to replace some elements of my limited wardrobe so on the way home I had to pick up some clothes I had bought. Tangent, tailored apparel for $30 in Colombia, what? Headed home and continued with my head down working.
Day 278 | February 28
A little bit of a break in my streak of deep focus from yesterday. I went to Ganso and Castor with one of my roommates for breakfast and to work in the morning but then came right back home and continued to power through working until pretty late into the night.
Day 277 | February 27
Woke up, got coffee, sat down and started working. Didn’t stop until it was time to go to sleep. Very productive day.
Day 276 | February 26
Late start to the day and I headed up to Querido to investigate reports that they had chicken and waffles on the menu. They did and they were quite good but nothing to write home about. Meandered back home and worked for the afternoon. Met another Remote for dinner and drinks at Clandestino. We tried to head to a more local like live music place but after driving all the way out there we discovered it was closed so, sadly, the evening ended with drinks at some beer place in a mall. Which seems to be where everything is located in Colombia.
Day 275 | February 25
Mostly just lounged around the house and worked today. I’ve been meaning to update some elements of my wardrobe and being as I currently live across the street from a mall I finally bit the bullet and took care of that as well. In the evening some of us went to Trilogia Bar which is a neat place with live music on the weekends. Their house band has about ten members and plays on this rotating stage in the middle of the place, really cool.
Day 274 | February 24
Worked from home again today. In the evening went to Alambique to see some live music which included a harmonica. Loving harmonica as I do and not having heard any since I left The States I was pretty excited. Sadly it was a little underwhelming even despite the great setting.
Day 273 | February 23
I worked form home today, intending to be productive but that didn’t come to fruition. Basically just read all day and rested.
Day 272 | February 22
Uneventful day. Worked at home throughout the day and then went around to Tejo in the evening. For some reason I was unaccountably exhausted so I headed home after and went right to sleep.
Day 271 | February 21
Back in Medellin. Had a pretty low key day of catching up (trying) on work. Went to my favorite, Ganso & Castor, and then came and worked from home. In the evening all of us roommates sat around and had wine and pizza. The great thing about the rest of the world is it’s pretty easy to get alcohol delivered to your door within minutes. We had less luck with the pizza. Over the course of the evening I ordered… 11 pizzas. Five of them eventually made it so we successfully staved off starvation.
