I got up early this morning, feeling very good. I headed off for the gym, and my ankle gave me very little trouble. I did avoid the knee extension machine because it would require to much flexing of the ankle. There was a somewhat unreliable breeze, but it blew enough of the time to keep me from overheating. The flies (we have LOTS of them here, and they are quite annoying) were fascinated with the scab on my knee. I guess they were probably eating bits of the dried blood, although none really seemed to be gone. I've observed this behavior before, as well.
The one class that had been scheduled for me to teach today (2 units) was canceled yesterday evening. Because of the time, it was considered a "late cancellation" which means that I get paid for the lesson anyway (and the students simply lose those 2 units).
Since I had nothing scheduled for today, we decided to drive up to Be'er Sheva. We left around 9:30 and got there around 12:30. We went to the mall, ate pizza, and looked around a bit. David was tired and feeling a bit unstable on his feet, so eventually he just sat on a bench while I continued exploring the mall. We had been in it before 2 or 3 times, but we had never really checked it out thoroughly. It's a fairly typical Israeli mall (and not that much different from U.S. malls, either) with the usual chain stores. I did find a little kiosk where I got my watch band replaced.
A bit after 2:00 p.m., we got back in the car and headed home, getting here just after 5:00. It was nice to get out, but the mall, although larger than the one here in Eilat, is really not much better.
