I go up fairly early this morning, but I only went out walking after breakfast because I had an 8:50 appointment with my doctor in Shakhamon. After that, I took a bus most of the way into town (number 5) and managed to get in to the phlebotomist's just before they closed so that they could draw blood for my PSA test. That saved me having to make a special trip in tomorrow morning.

After the blood test, I waited for a clerk in the office to get the form for my flights (a week from tomorrow) to Tel Aviv and back (to see my surgeon again). Then I went over to MaccabiPharm to get the ointment that my doctor prescribed for me.

I had planned to take a bus next, but it was quite pleasant out despite being mid-morning, so I walked over to the industrial area, where I bought a few things at both of the health food stores and also at the big Shufersal. Then I took the number 6 bus back home. I would have stopped to get a mouse at the pet store, but I called first and found out they had none.

I had a salad and weenies wrapped in whole-wheat tortillas for lunch.

In the afternoon, I got some work done on my projects ("BaShana HaBa'a" and "Esa Einai"). Only one will be my actual project for my class, but I'm still working on them in parallel.

I also napped a little in my chair and watched 2 episodes of "Friends" on TV (NOT at the same time!).

In the evening, I went to our weekly play-reading group, and we finished reading "As You Like It". We also read the introduction to a book of Pirandello plays that we will be reading next.

On my way out this evening, I snapped today's pic of the day, the view of my kikar with nearly the last of the direct sunlight on the Jordanian mountains in the background:

I walked a total of 5.4 kilometers today.
