13 August 2012

Now that David is out of the hospital, I need to get back into the habit of posting here daily.

He actually got out last Thursday, but on Friday we went north on a long-weekend trip we had planned a number of weeks ago. We went to prayers at Emet V'Shalom, our synagogue in Nahariya, on Friday evening and stayed with our friends, the Loberants, on Friday and Saturday nights. On Shabbat, we took a drive across the Northern Road and then visited our former neighbors, the Har-Evens, in Tsfat. On Sunday, David had an appointment at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, after which we made a short visit to the Grand Canyon (a big mall in Haifa -- the word "kanyon" in Hebrew means "shopping center" or "mall") and then headed home.

Today, I was scheduled to teach a total of 5 units. However, the last 3 of those were 3 separate lessons with the same student, to be taught by phone (Skype for me). She didn't show for any of them, but luckily I still get paid.

We ate patai (Pad Thai) at the place in the food court of the local mall today. We hadn't had that in some time now, and it was as delicious as ever.

Since David still can't see (and no one really knows why), we've started researching support for the blind, especially on our computers and phones. There's still a lot to learn, but the great thing is that there is a LOT of it for Macintosh computers and iPhones. It's actually going to be fun learning more about them and using them. David has already started listening to and enjoying the tutorial about VoiceOver on his Mac.
