Friday, 12 June 2015

I got to bed fairly early last night and slept in until late.

Before breakfast, I walked down to recycle cardboard and buy challah for Shabbat.

I taught 3 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-9:45 and 10:30-12:00.

For lunch, I ate my traditional whole-wheat spaghetti with Palermo sauce at Il Pentolino.

In the afternoon, I just relaxed at home. I have to force-feed Katom every few hours, and he doesn't like it, of course, but I'm hoping that it will help to save his life. He has enough strength to bat me with his front paws sometimes and to move around on the bed a very little, but he hasn't done anything else. I really hope that he'll start to get stronger and move more.

Meanwhile, Pascal is feeling more and more at home here again, after being afraid to even enter at first because he was afraid the dogs might still be here or return at any moment.

In the evening, I made Shabbat at at home with candle-lighting, sips of wine, and a little challah.

מזמור לדוד

יי רעי לא אחסר:
בנאות דשא ירביצני על-מי מנחות ינהלני:
נפשי ישובב ינחני במעגלי-צדק למנן שמו:
גם כי-אלך בגיא צלמות לא-אירא רע כי-אתה עמדי
שבטך ומשענתך המה ינחמני:
תערך לפני שלחן נגד צררי דשנת בשמן ראשי כוסי רויה:
אך טוב וחסד ירדפוני כל-ימי חיי ושבתי בבית-יי לארך ימים:
A Psalm by David

The Eternal is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.
God lays me down on a lush lawn and leads me beside quiet water.
My soul is restored, and I am led in circles of justice for the Divine Name's sake.
Even when I walk in a valley overshadowed by death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You arrange a table in front of me against my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
May only good and kindness pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the Divine home for many long days.
