Monday, 27 May 2013

I had trouble getting to sleep last night, so I got up and took a Coldex pill and a pill against stomach acid. I then stayed up for a while, and, when I went back to bed, I fell asleep quickly and slept well all night. Of course, I woke up rather late and a bit tired, and so didn't go out for a walk.

I taught 9 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:45-10:30, 11:30-1:00, 3:30-5:00, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30.

We ate lunch at Kakao, at the Ice Park Mall. I had shakshuka, and David had pizza. Both were okay but nothing very special.

David went out by himself during one of my lessons and made the mistake of trying to go down the front steps. Luckily, he did NOT fall, but he did really scare himself. After that, he just went and sat on the bench by the back of our building. But the experience really discouraged him, and he just feels, not without some justification, that he has very little control left in his life. I am rather at a loss on what to do for him, as well. In particular, his cognitive difficulties make it very hard for him to learn anything, and this can only lead inevitably to a lot of boredom.
