I got up fairly early this morning but did not go out for a walk. It was already quite warm. The official predicted high for today was 43ºC (about 111ºF), but I think it probably got even hotter than that. We were also having "sharav" conditions, so there was virtually NO breeze at all most of the day.

In the morning, I had an appointment at 9:20 with my family doctor, way over at the other side of Shakhamon. I definitely did NOT think it was be a good idea to walk in the heat, especially since I'd be in the sun a good bit of the time. I planned to take the bus, checked Moovit (an app on my phone) to see when the #6 would arrive, and went and waited, and waited, and waited for it. Finally, I ended up calling a taxi so I wouldn't be late, and I wasn't. In fact, the doctor, of course, was running late anyway. He'll order the MRI that the oncologist says I should have.

I took the #5 bus back home without any trouble at all. I also bought an all-day pass because I knew I'd be taking several more trips. It costs less than the price of 2 trips.

For the next trip, I took the #1 bus to MaccabiPharm to get my prescriptions filled. Then I caught the #2 back home.

I had a large salad and quesadillas for lunch at home today.

I watched all the videos for week 6 (the last week) of my regression class that were before the programming part and took the quiz based on them. I hope to do the programming part tomorrow and maybe even finish the course. It's not due until a week from tomorrow morning, though.

In the evening, I took the #2 bus most of the way to Fay's house for our weekly play-reading group. It was an enjoyable evening. We continued with "Spoon River Anthology", and the writing is really quite impressive and fun to read.

On the way down to Fay's, I took today's pic of the day inside the bus. Do you know what it says? Can you figure out why I took it at this particular part of the trip?

I managed to walk a total of 2.58 kilometers today, even with the heat.
