I got up leisurely but early this morning and so got in a lovely 45-minute walk. I wore socks and shoes, short pants, and a t-shirt, but by the end I was wishing a bit that I had worn a tank top instead of the t-shirt.
I was scheduled for 8 units of Berlitz lessons today, but the last 2-unit lesson turned out to be a late cancellation: 9:00-10:30, 10:30-11:15, 12:00-12:45, 3:30-5:00, and 7:00-8:30.
I had lunch at Buddha Burgers today, including a piece of their fabulous cheesecake. I think it's rather ironic that their vegan cheesecake is better than most cheesecakes I've had that contain real cheese!
In the late afternoon, I went to the Spring Bazaar at Fay's house, where I enjoyed several nice conversations with Anglo friends, including Fay herself, of course, and bought half a dozen homemade cupcakes.
I talked with the Maccabi nurse at Soroka Hospital several times today. They found out that the Bayit B'Lev facility here in Eilat won't accept David because he's too young. I refused the possibility of sending him to the one in Bat Yam because he's already been there, and it definitely was NOT a good experience for him for several reasons. At first, they were going to send him home, but because of low levels of oxygen in his blood (I think), they changed his status so that cannot be sent home yet. They were looking into sending him to another Bayit B'Lev facility, in Omer, a suburb of Be'er Sheva, but I haven't heard more about that yet. They may even have already sent him there, or there may have been no place for him, or perhaps they'll send him tomorrow. I'll have to phone before I leave tomorrow morning in order to know where to go, but I'll definitely be heading north to visit him -- I've already canceled the 3 units of Berlitz lessons that had been scheduled for me.
