I got up early but didn't go out for a walk because there's some kind of small bruise on my left foot that's been bothering me just a little, and I didn't want to chance making it worse. I'm actually pretty confident that it will heal on its own, but it might need a little time.
Katom, my American cat who made aliyah with us, was able to move about a bit on his own today, but it became painfully apparent that he could not move the back part of his body or control his bladder. So I was not really surprised when the vet told me his condition was unlikely to improve. It was really quite clear that the only humane thing to do would be to have him put down, and I also knew that it wouldn't get any easier. So, sometime around noon today the vet put him under general anesthesia as I and the vet's assistant gently petted him. Then the vet gave him an IV drug that stopped his heart, and he passed away peacefully, on his 14th birthday. I'll miss you, Katom! Rest in peace.
I taught 8 units of Berlitz lessons today (although one 2-unit lesson was a no-show): 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00 (the no-show), 3:30-5:00, and 5:00-6:30.
I had a Japanese salad, pad thai, and a Coke Zero for lunch today at Togarashi (at Mercaz Big).
