I got up quite early this morning, but I didn't go out for a walk. First, I had a lot of pain in my back, which was totally unexpected (I didn't feel it until I actually got up). Luckily, a couple of pills of Optalgin really got rid of almost all of it. Second, I had to eat breakfast early so that I could get down to Maccabi by 8:20 to get my Holter 24-hour heart monitor. I walked down, but I had to take a taxi back in order to arrive in time for my 9:00 lesson.

Today's pic of the day is of bougainvillea that I saw on my walk down to Maccabi:

I had another problem this morning. When I opened my freezer door, a whole bunch of ice that had been building up in there for some time suddenly fell out onto the floor, so it was apparent that my refrigerator wasn't really working properly. I had to take time right away to clean up some of the worst of the mess, but I didn't have time to contact my landlord until later in the morning. In the evening, he came to look at it but hasn't decided quite yet what exactly to do. It's still cold enough in the refrigerator part that I don't think my food will spoil, but nearly all the ice in the freezer has now melted.

I taught 5 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-9:45, 12:00-1:30, and 5:00-6:30.

I continued working on my final project for "Pro Tools Basics", and now it's really sounding quite nice. As I mentioned, it's me singing Avinu Malkenu with orchestra back-up. I haven't submitted it yet, because I want to listen to it after an elapse of some time to see if I still am pleased with it or if there are any more tweaks I want to make to it.

I had a large salad and 2 snhitzels for lunch.

I just relaxed for much of the afternoon. In the evening, I watched 2 episodes each of "Modern Family", "Friends", and "The Big Bang Theory".

I walked a total of 2 kilometers today.
