I taught only 3 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-9:45 and 11:00-12:30. I had cheese and a nice salad for lunch at home today.
I had an appointment with my psychiatrist at 2:00 today. I walked over there early, and he was available, so I actually FINISHED seeing him at about 2:00. Then I took a long walk clear over to the intersection of Sheshet HaYamim ("The Six Days") and Y'rushalayim HaShlemah ("All of Jerusalem") streets, a little beyond where I will be living in a few weeks. It was a very pleasant walk, with enough sun to make it quite warm but enough wind to keep it almost chilly, too. I wore socks and shoes, jeans, an a t-shirt, and felt very comfortable.
I walked a total of almost 13 kilometers today.
As the last light of day was illuminating the craggy mountains of Edom across the valley, I lit candles, drank a bit of sweet red wine, and ate some challah to welcome the Shabbat. After that, I did my own little Kabbalat Shabbat prayers, sitting comfortably in my favorite chair and singing some of my favorite melodies.
ישמחו במלכותך שומרי שבת וקוראי עונג שבת
They will rejoice in Your realm, those who guard Shabbat and call it a delight.
