Today was a bit of a bust.
I woke up a little late and just couldn't quite drag myself out for even a walk.
Our refrigerator was acting up again. The freezer part was working, but not as well, and the refrigerator part wasn't cooling significantly at all. Our landlord, whose business is A/C and cooling, had come 2 or 3 weeks ago when it did the same thing before, had done a temporary fix, and had ordered parts. But he had never returned. This morning I called him, and he said he'd come "after 3:00". He didn't actually GET here until after 8:00, and even that was after a couple more calls to see what was happening. He did replace the faulty part, and it SEEMS to be working okay now, but only time will really tell. In the mean time, we have spoiled cottage cheese and probably spoiled milk, as well.
I made an appointment with our doctor for 11:00 this morning because the pharmacy was only giving David 2 boxes of strips a month for his glucometer, and he really needs to have 3 so that he can test frequently and keep his blood sugar under control. It was very busy at the clinic, so we didn't get in to see the doctor until more than an hour after our appointment. But it was fine anyway, and we got the prescription for 3 boxes. The more times we meet this doctor, then better we like him. We found out today that he was originally from Paris! I had thought he was native Israeli! In fact, there are MANY French people living here in Eilat, and I've overheard more conversations in French since I've been here than in my whole life before, I think (and I studied French in school, too!).
For lunch, we had Pad Thai (or "patai", as they call it here) in the mall. There were a LOT of people there today, but we found a place to sit with no problem and enjoyed our lunch.
