I slept quite well last night although I felt that I didn't get really deep sleep. Nevertheless, I got up quite early and walked to the highway 12 kikar and back. I didn't go further than that because I felt a bit tired.

This morning, we had to go down to the Maccabi clinic in town to get David's blood drawn for the tests the doctor ordered.

I enjoyed chatting once again at this morning's English speakers' meeting at WIZO.

We went to Greg Café at Mercaz Big for lunch today. David had fritatta and I had French toast. Both we delicious.

I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today: 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 6:00-7:30.

My shoulder seems to be getting gradually better, but I still cannot raise my right arm above horizontal except very close to my body, and even that hurts a bit. If I use the other arm to help it, though, I can raise it without even any pain, including WAY above my head. However, we'll have to wait until I get the ultrasound done (on 12 October) to find out more about what the problem may be.

Monday, 29 September 2014

Again I slept quite well and got up in time to get to the gym. I even went briefly on the cross-trainer there.

I taught 12 units of Berlitz lessons today (although one 2-unit lesson turned out to be a late cancellation): 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00 (the cancellation), 12:00-1:30, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 5:45-7:15.

We ate a lunch of Buddha Burgers leftovers at home today.

Sunday, 28 September 2014

I fell asleep quite quickly last night and slept well most of the night. I did get up once to pee, and I opened a couple of windows (in the office and in our bedroom) while I was up. I woke up early and walked all the way to the gym and back.

I had scheduled back-to-back appointments for me and David with our doctor this morning, so we both went to see him. He gave me a prescription for more Arcoxia (in case I need more than I had), and he ordered some blood tests for David (which we'll have done on Tuesday morning).

Later in the morning, I did the weekly grocery shopping.

We had lunch at Buddha Burgers today. I had vegan shwarma with hummus, and David had a delicious Asian-style stir-fry.

After lunch, I went to the pharmacy to get my prescription filled.

In the afternoon, I finished my application for Algorithmic Thinking. I had a little problem because I had forgotten that our routines modify their parameters. Once I realized what it was, I proceeded very quickly to finish everything.

Shabbat, 27 September 2014

I had a lot of trouble falling asleep last night but finally slept fairly well though not long enough. I got up a little before 6:00 but didn't go out for a walk.

I spent most of the day working on my Algorithmic Thinking class. With a hint from some people on the forums, I was able to fix the running time problem with my fast algorithm code and get it all working correctly. Then I proceeded to write the 2 clustering algorithm codes that were required. So, my project for unit 3 is all done, and I have a perfect score for it. Now I'm working on the application, in which we use the results and the code we have written to do some carefully guided analysis. When this is complete, I'll turn it in, and it will be peer-graded during the first part of the next unit. It's turning out to be REALLY interesting!

For lunch, we ordered veggie burgers from Barbis delivered to the house.

Friday, 26 September 2014

I slept fairly well last night, but I didn't fall asleep easily, and I had quite a bit of pain when I woke in the middle of the night. I was finally able to get the pain to subside enough to fall back asleep by lying on my back for a while. The pain medicine is just NOT working as well as it did at first. I made another appointment with my doctor on Sunday so I can discuss it with him.

I spent almost the whole day working on my code for Algorithmic Thinking. For this part of the project, we implement 2 different algorithms for finding which 2 points out of a collection in the 2D plane are closest together. The first algorithm uses brute force -- i.e. it just simply compares every pair of points. The second is more sophisticated and complicated, but it is more efficient, at least theoretically. We were given pseudo-code for both of them -- we just need to translate it into Python. My problem is that my "fast" one is actually significantly SLOWER than the slow one, and I can NOT figure out why! Basically, I'm just giving up for now and going on to the rest of the project.

For lunch today, we ate more of the food we had brought home from Buddha Burgers' feast.

This morning I walked down to recycle the cardboard boxes, but I couldn't get challah, of course, because the bakery is closed for the holiday (2nd day of Rosh HaShana). I did stop at the candy store, though, and bought us a nice honey cake. After lighting candles, sipping wine, and eating a bit of bread (instead of challah) to welcome Shabbat, we each had a piece of the cake.

Thursday, 25 September 2014 (Rosh HaShana 5775)

The feast at Buddha Burgers last night was very nice. Unfortunately, David was feeling tired and very sleepy, and he had a headache. So he wasn't able to enjoy things very much. We left a bit early, but they sent LOTS of food home with us, which was very nice of them, I think. This morning I wrote a short e-mail (in Hebrew) to the proprietors (Miri and Arnon), thanking them and their staff for all their hard work in creating such a lovely event.

I had some trouble getting to sleep last night, but I eventually slept quite well. I woke up too early, though. At about 5:15, I finally got up and went out for a morning walk, going as far as the highway 12 kikar. It was nice to be able to do that.

I double-checked all my homework/quiz answers for unit 3 of Algorithmic Thinking this morning, and then I submitted it. I was very happy to get 100% on my first try! I spent much of the rest of the day working on the project for this unit, which involves some pretty difficult programming. We have pseudo-code to go from, but the translation is not so straightforward, and it's been really stretching my abstract thinking capabilities (I guess my mathematical ability isn't quite as good as it used to be, alas!). Nevertheless, I'm making good progress. Tomorrow I've got to more thoroughly test the code I've written so far, and then I can proceed to write the rest of it.

For lunch today, we ate some of the delicious food that they sent home with us last night. Yum!

Wednesday, 24 September 2014

Last night, I made SURE that I actually took my Arcoxia pill, and it definitely helped with the pain. Although I didn't sleep quite as soundly as I might have wished, I got a decent night's sleep. I got up a bit late and didn't go out for a walk, but that's okay.

I did some last-minute grocery shopping today, and I also stopped by the pharmacy to pick up more Coldex, which I had forgotten to do yesterday.

We ate the rest of the pizza we had gotten a couple of days ago for lunch today.

I spent much of the day working on my homework/quiz for Algorithmic Thinking. I think I have it all done correctly, but I haven't submitted it yet -- I'm going to double-check it tomorrow.

In a few minutes, we'll be heading over to Buddha Burgers for a special spread that they're preparing to welcome the Jewish New Year.

I wish a good and sweet new year to everyone! שנה טובה ומתוקה לכולם

Tuesday, 23 September 2014

I'm not sure now what happened last night. I know that I got the Arcoxia pill out and put it with the other 3 pills that I take at bedtime. I THOUGHT that I took them all, but it seemed to have no effect. By the middle of the night, I was having quite a bit of pain, and it sure seemed like I had NOT taken the pill. I searched the kitchen floor for it but didn't find it. Of course, it's very small, so it still could be there somewhere. Anyway, I didn't think it would be wise to take another one, just in case I really HAD taken it. I was also afraid to take ibuprofen. The pharmacist had actually made me sign a piece of paper saying I wouldn't take them together, and one site I found on the internet even claimed that the combination could be lethal (pretty small probability, I'm sure)! Finally, 7 hours after I think I took the Arcoxia, I did take ibuprofen. By then, though, I had lost quite a bit of sleep, of course, and so I felt quite sleepy and tired all day. The ibuprofen did help some with the pain but not as much as I would have liked.

I enjoyed the English speakers' meeting at WIZO this morning. We had honey cake, apples and honey, and wine to toast Rosh HaShana (the Jewish new year, which begins tomorrow night at sundown).

David and I had lunch today at Buddha Burgers. We had a couple of their burgers that we had not previously tried, and they were good.

When we came home, both of us were very tired and sleepy. David went to bed first, and I soon joined him. I slept for a little over 2 hours. I virtually NEVER take naps because I generally feel so yucky when I get up, and this was really no exception. Nevertheless, I really did need the sleep, and I finally began to feel better after being up for a while.

I will make VERY SURE that I actually take the Arcoxia tonight, and I hope it will work much better. Today was mostly a lost day due to last night's failure (whatever it really was!). Luckily, I had decided weeks ago to take vacation time from Berlitz today and tomorrow.

Monday, 22 September 2014

I took the Arcoxia last night and slept better with less pain. I got up early enough to go for a short walk, up to the end of the green strip and back. I met a friendly yellow cat up near the corner, whom I petted and who followed me for a bit down our street. That was really nice!

I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 5:45-7:15.

I watched several of the video lectures for unit 3 of my Algorithmic Thinking class, which were just released today. The theme for this unit is sorting and searching, and the "divide and conquer" approach to algorithms.

I ordered pizza for us for lunch today.

David slept all day except for getting up to eat breakfast and lunch. Hopefully, he'll still sleep well tonight but NOT as much tomorrow.

I'm now off work for the rest of the week, a combination of vacation time and the Rosh HaShana holidays. I'm really looking forward to this break, too!

Sunday, 21 September 2014

I slept better last night and didn't have much pain when I woke in the middle of the night. By morning, however, it was a bit worse since I didn't take any ibuprofen during the night. Although I got up fairly early, I didn't go out for a walk.

I had scheduled an appointment with my doctor at 9:10, and I decided to walk over there and back. He gave me a prescription for Arcoxia. One pill a day is supposed to help with the pain, so we'll see how that goes tonight.

Later in the morning I did the weekly grocery shopping at Shufersal, and after lunch I got the prescription filled at the pharmacy.

For lunch, I ordered food from Buddha Burgers and picked it up there and brought it home.

In the afternoon, I continued watching videos for my Swift class and wrote another iPhone application, a stopwatch.

Shabbat, 20 September 2014

Last night I woke up feeling a lot of pain, but very unspecific, even though I had taken 800mg of ibuprofen before going to bed. I got up and took 800mg more and sat in my chair in the living room for a little while. Then I went back to bed, the pain subsided enough for me to fall asleep (I also felt VERY sleepy), and I managed to sleep until morning. I was too tire to go out for a walk, however. At least the pain was definitely not as bad. Nevertheless, I took 800mg in the morning and 800mg more in the middle of the day.

We ordered food delivered from Barbis for lunch today and ate it at home.

I spent most of the day learning more about Swift, Apple's new programming language, and programming for iOS (iPhone and iPad). It's really pretty cool stuff!

Friday, 19 September 2014

I slept pretty poorly last night. I got up fairly early because I couldn't go back to sleep, but I felt much too tired to go out for a walk at that point. Later, before breakfast, I did walk down to recycle the cardboard and buy challah for Shabbat.

I was scheduled to teach only 3 units of Berlitz lessons today, but I agreed 15 minutes before its start time to do an additional 2-unit class (the middle one in this chronological list): 9:00-9:45, 10:00-11:30, and 11:30-1:00.

We ate lunch at Buddha Burgers today, now that we have found it where it is and that it did NOT go out of business! It was so good to be able to do that again!

I spent almost all the afternoon watching videos for my Swift iOS programming class and trying out the exercises he showed. It's quite exciting, really!

In the evening, as the sun was about to disappear behind the Eilat Mountains, we lit candles, drank wine, and ate challah to welcome Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone! שבת שלום לכולם

Thursday, 18 September 2014

I slept a little better last night but still woke up much too late to go our for a walk and still feeling tired.

I taught 12 units of Berlitz lessons today, although one student had to leave after only half and hour of a one-and-a-half-hour lesson: 9:00-10:30, 11:00-11:45, 12:00-1:30 (actually done at 12:30), 2:30-4:00, 4:30-5:15, 5:15-6:45, and 7:00-8:30.

We ate lunch at home.

I'm a little worried about David today. He has slept the entire day, only getting up briefly to each breakfast and to eat lunch. And he was quite weak and unstable those times, as well. I hope there's nothing serious wrong with him.

Wednesday, 17 September 2014

I had difficulty getting to sleep last night (due to the persistent pain), but I eventually slept pretty well. I got up too late to go for any walk, though.

I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today (although one lesson was a no-show): 9:30-11:00, 12:00-1:30 (the no-show), 2:30-4:00, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30.

We ate lunch at home.

I signed up yesterday for a course on Udemy to learn Apple's new programming language, Swift, and to program for iOS (iPhones and iPads). Today, I watched enough of the class videos to get the necessary software loaded onto my computer and working. I think it's going to be a cool class. Unlike the Coursera classes, I can do this one completely at my own pace -- there's no timetable or deadlines.

Tuesday, 16 September 2014

I had trouble getting to sleep last night because of pain, but eventually I slept fairly well. I woke up a bit late, though, and quite tired, but I did still go out for a short walk only to the top of the green strip and back.

I enjoyed the weekly English speakers' meeting at WIZO this morning. I found out something interesting, too -- Buddha Burgers is not gone, it has just moved to a different location! So, now I'm very much looking forward to eating there again.

Today, though, we had lunch at Greg Café at Mercaz Big. David had an omelet sandwich, and I had their delicious Fatoush salad.

I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today: 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 6:00-7:30.

Monday, 15 September 2014

I had quite a bit of trouble with pain in my shoulder last night despite taking 800mg of ibuprofen before going to bed and 800mg more in the middle of the night. It's not really strong pain, just persistent enough to keep me from falling asleep. The only way to avoid it pretty well is to lie on my back, a position I usually don't sleep in much normally. In the end, I got enough sleep, but I got up much too late to go for a walk.

I taught 12 units of Berlitz lessons today, although one 2-unit lesson was a late cancellation: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00 (the cancellation), 12:00-1:30, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 5:45-7:15.

We had a lunch of veggie weenies, wrapped in corn tortillas, and chips and salsa today.

Sunday, 14 September 2014

I didn't sleep too well last night due to a small but persistent amount of pain in my shoulder when I lay on either side, and I don't ever sleep very well on my back (and the stomach has always been completely impossible!). So, I didn't get up in time for a walk, but I had a good day otherwise.

My doctor took the stitches out above my eye this morning, and the wound has healed very well. After that, I did the weekly grocery shopping.

David slept almost the entire day today and wasn't even able to get up for lunch at all.

I went to the pharmacy in the early afternoon to pick up most of our monthly meds.

I spent almost all of the rest of the day doing the "application" for unit 2 of my Algorithmic Thinking class. It wasn't easy, but, in the end, it was quite fun and VERY cool! And I'm very thankful to have completed it successfully.

Shabbat, 13 September 2014

I got up at a good time this morning and so got in a nice, refreshing walk to the gym and a bit of working out there, as well. I still can't go on most of the machines because of my shoulder. But it is steadily healing.

After breakfast, I took bottles and containers to their respective recycling areas, and I also took out the trash.

Most of the day I spent working on my homework/quiz and project for Unit 2 of Algorithmic Thinking. I completed them both perfectly. Now, I have to work on my application, which will be submitted for peer grading when it's finished.

We had the rest of yesterday's pizza for lunch today, but, in the late afternoon, we drove down to Ice Park for frozen yogurt.

After we returned, we had a nice conversation with our dear friend, Sarah, in Los Angeles.

Friday, 12 September 2014

I actually woke up VERY early this morning and couldn't sleep any more. But I stayed in bed until about 5:15, and then I got up and walked to the gym and back. At the beginning of my walk, there was a lovely breeze, but then it died down, only to return sporadically, and so for much of the time it felt a bit warm and perhaps even humid (that's a relative term here in dry, dry Eilat, of course!). Later, I walked down to recycle cardboard and buy challah at the local bakery for Shabbat.

I taught 4 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30 and 11:30-1:00.

David was too sleepy to get up to go out for lunch, so I ordered pizza, and we ate it at home. We only ate half of the large one (פיצה משפחתית pitza mishpakhtit "family pizza") that I ordered, though, so we'll probably have the rest for lunch tomorrow.

This afternoon, I assessed the unit 1 assignments of 5 of my peers in Algorithmic Thinking, as required. Tomorrow I'll do the homework and the project and, hopefully, the application, as well, for unit 2.

As the sun was disappearing behind the Eilat mountains to the west, we lit candles, drank wine, and ate challah to welcome the Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone! שבת שלום לכולם

Thursday, 11 September 2014

I slept pretty well last night, but I did get up once to pee, at which time I turned of the A/C and opened all the windows. But in the morning, when I first woke up, I was still quite tired, and so I got up too late to go out for a walk.

I was scheduled to teach 12 units (9 hours) of Berlitz lessons today, but one student was a no-show, and another was a late cancellation: 9:30-11:00, 11:00-12:30, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30 (the no-show), 5:30-7:00 (the late cancellation), and 7:00-8:30.

We had lunch today at Barbis.

Wednesday, 10 September 2014

I woke up again last night and had trouble getting back to sleep, even after I took ibuprofen. Eventually, though, I did get back to sleep, but I slept late and so didn't get out for a walk in the morning.

I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today: 10:00-11:30, 12:00-1:30, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 7:00-8:30. One new student was very interesting. She's an ethnic Russian who's originally from Ukraine but now lives and works in Germany as a systems engineer for a company that builds nuclear power plants.

We ate lunch at home today, eating leftover food that we brought home from Il Pentolino yesterday.

Tuesday, 9 September 2014

I woke up during the night last night and then had some trouble getting comfortable and sleeping well after that. So I got up quite late and didn't go out for a walk at all.

I watched most of the video lectures for the new unit of my class, Algorithmic Thinking, today. Professor Nakhleh (who is an Arab originally from Israel) is an excellent teacher. Much of the material was already somewhat familiar to me, but it was still nice to see it explained so clearly and in such good detail.

I enjoyed the weekly English-speakers' meeting at WIZO this morning. There was no special program -- we just all sat and enjoyed chatting.

David and I had lunch today at Il Pentolino, ordering our usual favorites there.

I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today: 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 6:00-7:30 -- all at level 6.

Monday, 8 September 2014

I slept well last night and woke up early enough to get in a good walk to the gym and a little time on a couple of the machines there (ones that wouldn't cause any problems with my shoulder).

I was scheduled to teach 12 units (9 hours) of Berlitz lessons today, but one 2-unit lesson turned out to be a no-show: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, 12:00-1:30, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30 (the no-show), and 5:45-7:15.

We ate lunch at home today.

My shoulder seems to gradually be getting better, but there are still some directions in which I can't lift it at all, and sharp pain reminds me if I try to do so. My cut that was stitched up is healing very nicely.

Sunday, 7 September 2014

I slept very well last night and with virtually no pain. I woke up rather late, though, and so didn't go out for a walk

I had a busy morning. First, I went to get my shoulder x-rayed, and the news was good: no fracture (which didn't surprise me at all). The gas company's office is very close to the downtown Maccabi branch, so I popped by there to pay the gas bill. Then, I went to the vet to get another sack of the special diet food for the cats. Next, it was on to the doctor's office. He was pleased to see the progress on the gash that he had stitched, and he put some disinfectant on it to make sure it continues not to get infected. He also checked my shoulder more carefully and is worried that I might have torn a tendon because of certain ways that I can't move it on its own. So, he's sending me in for ultrasound to have a look. However, the earliest appointment I could get it 5 weeks away, so we won't know for a long time. I'm not too worried, though, since it's now giving me very little pain. My final morning destination was Shufersal to do the weekly grocery shopping.

We went to Togarashi at Mercaz Big for lunch today and both had pad thai. David also had corn soup, and I had pickled Japanese vegetables.

In the afternoon, I went to the Maccabi pharmacy to pick up one med that they hadn't had when I was there last week. However, they STILL didn't have it, so I had to go to SuperPharm to get it. But MaccabiPharm called ahead to verify that it WAS there and reserved the final 2 boxes for me.

I added one more good capability to my Python program for tracking our meds. It now lists the medicine in the order of their projected run-out dates, so that the ones will run out of first are listed at the top. It was just a simple application of merge sort, and I copied the code from a website I found. I only had to make minor changes to 1 or 2 lines to make it work perfectly.

Shabbat, 6 September 2014

I slept well for about the first 3 hours last night but not so well after that despite getting up and taking more ibuprofen. I just couldn't get comfortable enough with a low enough level of pain to fall asleep most of the time. Nevertheless, I got up early and walked to the gym and back.

Mostly, I took it easy today, but I did finally decide my Python program was ready for our real med data, and so I entered it. The next step will be to add a sorting capability to the code so that the meds can be sorted in the order of the dates when they'll run out if not replenished. This actually will be quite easy to do, but I haven't done it yet.

We ate leftover pizza for lunch today. Then, in the late afternoon, we drove up the Arava to Yotvata, bought a couple of kilos of dates, and drove back.

Friday, 5 September 2014

Today started off just fine, with a good walk to the gym and back. I didn't take time to work out because I was planning to walk down later to recycle cardboard and buy challah. When I got back to our building, however, the elevator was not working. Now, I usually walk DOWN the stairs (all 72 of them) when I'm going out, but I prefer to go UP on the elevator. So, I was a little annoyed. I had picked up the mail from our mailbox and was carrying it in my hand as I went up. I don't know what happened, but for some reason I tripped and fell just after I passed the floor right below ours. When I landed, my glasses got twisted and cut me in 2 places: a BIG gash at the top of my right eyelid and a small cut on the bridge of my nose. I also apparently tore a ligament in my shoulder. Anyway, so there I was, bleeding like crazy and continuing up the stairs to get home, trying to catch the blood on the mail I was carrying.

I got into the bathroom and got the bleeding stopped, for the most part. Then I could see exactly what had happened, in the mirror. I had to sit down at my desk for a while and just whimper a bit. In fact, I was beginning to feel a bit faint and feared that I might pass out, but I didn't. I was also worried that I wouldn't be able to wear even my other pair of glasses because of the nose scratch, but when I tried them on, I found that they ride at a slightly different place on my nose. This was a big relief, because I can't do ANYTHING without my glasses!

I took 800 mg of ibuprofen for the pain and was feeling a little better by breakfast. Of course, I abandoned my plan of walking down to recycle cardboard and buy challah. I decided somewhat reluctantly that I had better call Berlitz and cancel my lessons for the day (two 2-unit classes: 9:00-10:30 and 11:00-12:30). I was able to drive over to the Maccabi clinic in town, only to find out that they were closed. So, I drove BACK to the one here in our neighborhood (where our family doctor is) and was relieved to find that they were open. Of course, I had to wait a bit, but they got me in to see Dr. Vaknin, our family doctor, and he sewed up the gash with 3 stitches. He also checked my shoulder and agreed with me that it's almost certainly NOT broken. He IS sending me in for an x-ray on Sunday, though, just to be sure. I also have to go back to see him after getting the x-ray so that he can check that everything is okay.

After I got back home, I decided to walk down after all and recycle the cardboard and buy challah. By then, of course, it was very hot, and there wasn't much shade. But I managed without any problems and didn't even feel that overheated.

David didn't feel like going out for lunch today, so I ordered food from Chooka -- classic noodles for him and sushi for me (although I ended up eating more of his noodles than he did!).

I've continue taking ibuprofen throughout the day to control the pain, so I don't feel too bad now. It difficult to avoid scratching the stitches, though, since they tend to itch just a bit. I'm doing pretty well, though.

Just as the sunlight was fading, we lit candles, drank sweet wine, and ate challah to welcome Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone! שבת שלום לכולם

Thursday, 4 September 2014

I got up early this morning and got in a nice work-out. I didn't feel highly energetic, though.

This morning it was cool enough to open up the house for a while. I opened all the windows when I got up (at about 5:15) and left them open until about 10:15, when it was beginning to warm up a bit too much outside.

I taught 7 units of Berlitz lesson today: 9:30-11:00, 11:00-12:15, 2:30-4:00, and 5:00-6:30. For lunch, I ordered pizza for us to eat at home since David was too sleepy to get up and go out.

My Python programming for tracking our med inventory is almost done now. I want to do a bit more testing, and I still need to change it so that it will write the data out to a file when I click "Save" or quit. I actually already have the code in place and tested to do that, but it's not enabled yet.

Wednesday, 3 September 2014

I got up much to late to go out for a walk this morning.

I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today: 10:00-11:30, 11:30-1:00, 2:30-4:00, 5:00-6:30, 7:00-8:30.

We ate lunch today at Rachel. David had his usual toasted cheese sandwich, and I once again had their Balkan Platter.

David went to the blind club meeting today. I took him over to the place where they meet, but I had had some trouble finding it. Luckily, I succeeded. Somebody else brought him home because I was in a lesson at the time the meeting ended.

Tuesday, 2 September 2014

I got up early enough this morning to walk over to the gym and back. I didn't work out any, though, more for lack of energy than lack of time.

I made some more progress on my Python program for tracking our inventory of meds today, but it's still not done, and it seems to me like it's been quite a bit more difficult than it should have been.

I enjoyed the WIZO English-speakers' meeting this morning. Various ones of us got up and told interesting anecdotes from our lives.

We ate lunch again at home today because David was too sleepy to get up and go out.

I taught 6 units of Berlitz lessons today: 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 6:00-7:30.

Monday, 1 September 2014

I got up fairly early this morning and got in a good work-out.

I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, 2:30-4:00, 4:00-5:30, and 5:45-7:15.

We had lunch at home today because David was very sleepy and didn't feel like getting up in time to go out.

I managed to find the problem with my med inventory program that I was complaining about yesterday. The program is still not finished, but I'm again making decent progress on it and am no longer stymied.
