I again slept well, got up early, and eased into the day fairly slowly.
I taught four 2-unit lessons today, although the last one turned out to be a late cancellation: 9:30-11:00, 12:00-1:30, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30.
Between the first and second lessons, I took a little walk around the Mitzpe Yam neighborhood (which begins just across the street from me). It's really a very pleasant area, including Ganei Kanada (Canada Gardens, so-called because Jews in Canada raised money for its infrastructure), which is really a nice park with many trees, play areas, curved sidewalks, and stairs.
After the second lesson, I quickly walked over to the old place because I was supposed to meet my old landlord there at 2:00. I was a couple of minutes late, but he never showed up at all! Finally, at 3:00, I just left and walked back home. At least I got in a nice walk.
In the evening, when I found out about the late cancellation, I made good use of the time by unpacking several boxes of books, mostly ones that had been in the office near my desk at the old place.
My landlord didn't get a longer internet cable in place for me yet, so I took a chance and taught over WiFi (a wireless connection, which we're not supposed to do). I also had to use my Mac, since my old PC that I normally teach on doesn't even HAVE WiFi. I did have a back-up plan, though, in case I ran into any trouble: I had David's laptop plugged into the existing cable in the bedroom. That way, if I had had any delays or other connection problems that might be attributable to working over WiFi, I could just switch to the laptop and work in the bedroom (on a smaller screen, of course). Luckily, I didn't have to do that.
