Sunday, 12 February 2017

I slept well and woke up early this morning. I still had to wait quite a while before I could walk down to Maccabi for my blood test. My weekly one does NOT require fasting, but this time I was also getting the ones in preparation for my follow-up appointment with the surgeon, and at least one of them DOES require fasting.

After my blood tests, I walked over to Uga Chaga for breakfast. When I got there, they were only open for hot drinks, so I ordered some coffee and sat there until 8:00, when the kitchen opened. Then I had shakshuka and bread for breakfast. The shakshuka actually wasn't very good, but it was nourishing, and I ate it all.

Next, I walked back over to Maccabi to make arrangements for my trip a week from tomorrow to Tel Aviv for my follow-up appointment with the surgeon. I also needed to see a doctor to get a new prescription for Coumadin, since I had run out and I couldn't get an appointment with my regular doctor.

Then I headed down to the pet store, pausing for some time to talk on the phone with David in Tel Aviv. They still didn't have any mice there, but I needed to get cat litter and cat food anyway. I decided to have them delivered, since the bag of cat litter is VERY heavy, of course.

I was feeling quite energetic by them, so I walked home to get rid of my jacket and my bag of medical record. I snapped today's pic of the day on the way back, a view that includes a cloud just blocking the sun, palm trees, and a couple of Israeli flags:

I then walked back down to Maccabi for my appointment at 12:30, got my prescription, and went over to the pharmacy to get it filled. That was enough walking, though, so I took the bus back home.

I had a cucumber, a couple of beets, and weenies wrapped in tortillas for lunch at home. I also ate some more of my baklava for dessert.

In the evening, I went to our weekly play-reading group, which I enjoyed as always. I again got a ride both ways with Jud. She's an Israeli who just recently joined the group.

I walked a total of 7 kilometers this morning.
