We spent most of the morning getting David's pain in his leg checked out. First, we went to our family doctor. He examined David and decided that the leg and hip should be x-rayed to check for breaks. So we next headed over to the Maccabi downtown office for that. The news was good: no sign of any breaks! Nevertheless, David was still in pretty bad pain, so we ate lunch at Il Pentolino because we can park right in front of the restaurant.

After lunch, I went looking for a new chair for my office. The back broke on my old chair. Luckily, it was pretty simple finding a good new one. I bought one of the floor models at Home Center because I liked its material (called "jeans", and actually a lot like soft jeans) and they didn't have any others like it in stock. Actually, that was also good because it meant I didn't have to put it together!

Later in the afternoon, I went to Shufersal and did the weekly grocery shopping. I was a little irritated to find the the entire cheese department (and also the deli and meat departments, though I NEVER buy anything in them anyway!) was closed. They were cleaning and kashering them for Pesach already. This is really WAY too much, if you ask me (but, obviously, no one did!). Unfortunately, the heavy-handed way that Pesach is enforced here in Israel has made both of us begin to HATE this holiday, which is SUPPOSED to be about celebrating freedom, of all things!

I spent most of the evening doing my assignment for the first week of the music production class that I am taking. I also took some time to get set up for my heavy schedule of Berlitz lessons tomorrow.
