Day 124 (what internet?)

We had wireless issues all of yesterday, and they continue today. It makes job-searching rather challenging, let me tell you. (It also makes blogging Just Not Worth the effort.)

Other than wireless drama, we had what was to be our last driving lesson before our test. However, when the instructor asked how we were getting to Beit Shean for the test, and I told him we'd hitchhike--or take a shuttle from the kibbutz, I added belatedly--he suggested he'd pick us up and we'd squeeze in one more (half) lesson for each of us. I do not want to pay 70NIS for a ride into Beit Shean, but I am convinced that the instructor can tell the tester to fail you, and if you refuse lesson/s, the instructor will tell the tester to fail you. So 15 more minutes of driving lessons for each of us, and then the test. This whole thing is ridiculous, but it is what it is.

I took the baby to the pool again, and unlike last time, when he just tolerated the experience, BSM actually enjoyed the water today. Bringing the playpen ball to fetch may have helped. Incidentally, if you hold a buoyant object underwater (if it doesn't have too much surface area), when you let go of it suddenly, it will jump above the surface. And then your baby will laugh and laugh. Speaking of laughing babies, BSM really is developing his sense of humor very well: When I read Blue Hat, Green Hat to him, he laughs at every "oops." What a great audience!
