Sitting in the Jacuzzi
I know, I know I'm supposed to be a tour guide. So, what about a tour?
Well, today, I didn't have a tour group. I had other things to occupy my time. The thermostat on my waterbed broke. That's bad! So, I've been sleeping in the guest bedroom. Nice bed there but I like the waterbed. Now, you may not know that I am diabetic. Hopefully, it doesn't make any difference. I've been trying an experiment for the past three years. I quit taking insulin. So far, so good. But, the blood tests I took last month were a little scary. I need to visit the doctor.
Are you noticing a build-up in items for my day's itinerary? I'm not through. I got the van inspected last week and renewed the insurance. When I talked to the insurance company they told me that they needed to require an additional security device. The van already has automatic locks, electronic ignition lockout, a siren system, GPS tracking, an ignition lock and door locks. The security devices weigh nearly as much as the engine. Anyway, I made a visit to Dror, the gadget guy who installs security devices in my van. Oh, one more thing. I have made it a practice to walk for at least an hour every day.
No, I'm not done yet. Two more items. I spend at least a half hour with Spanish lessons while I am walking and I also decided to update my health insurance. Now we have a plan for a day, don't you think? Too bad it doesn't include any time for a job!
So, since I didn't have time to work at a real job, I walked all over town doing stuff that I couldn't have gotten done otherwise. I'd make a lousy housewife.
My feet are tired though.
So, for my next trick, I think I'll go sit in the Jacuzzi.
Another tour group will arrive soon enough.

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong but can't yu really damage yourself without insulin, blindness for example? I hope you feel better soon, and don't hold off to long on going to the doctors!
That is a curious picture you have there. What is the architechure around the hot tub called? It looks really really nice.
Amanda,
I am under constant care by a leading expert in endocrine disorders. I am involved in an experimental program than may have come to the end of it's capabilities. I had a conversation with my doctor yesterday as a matter of fact. He informed me that we will have to make a decision in two month about returning to insulin.

The hot tub is sitting in my garden. The walls are earth retaining walls. The one on the left is the foundation for my neighbors apartment and the one straight ahead is the street. Since I took that picture I mounted a blue tarp that slants from the wall on the left to the fence on the right.
Apartments in Jerusalem are usually small and jammed together. There are very few single story or single family buildings. I am fortunate to have a garden area.
