I got up a little late this morning but still went out for a short walk. I also worked out a bit at the outdoor gym. When I went by the bakery on my way back, however, I saw that they had not received the challah yet (or much of anything else, for that matter), so I had to walk back up there after my second lesson, whereupon I successfully got my challah.

Just before arriving back home (from my early-morning walk), I paused by the kikar near my place to snap 3 photos of the sun rising. Today's pic of the day is one of them:

I was scheduled to teach 5 units of Berlitz lessons, but the last lesson (2 units) turned out to be a no-show (the 4th in a row, in fact, for this particular student): 9:00-9:45, 10:00-11:30, and 12:00-1:30.

For lunch, I had a large salad, to which I even added a chopped up beet (cooked, of course), and 2 veggie burger, cheese, and tomato sandwiches with mayonnaise and old-fashioned mustard.

I watched 2 episodes of "Modern Family" this afternoon.

I got all the weekly chores done except for washing the dishes.

I did some more tinkering with my week 4 project for my online class, "Pro Tools Basics", today, mostly playing with varying the reverb. It's a recording of me singing "Achat Sha'alti", together with electronic accompaniment (a treble aah-choir "singing" the melody an octave above me and a bass ooh-choir plus bass strings doing a bass line below me). It now sounds pretty good. I'll listen again tomorrow, and, if I still like it, I'll submit it (if not, I'll tinker some more).

In the evening, I lit candles, drank a little sweet red wine, and ate some challah to welcome Shabbat.

I walked a total of 2.8 kilometers today.
