Naked Mole Rats in the Bible?

I actually thought today was Monday, because I literally don't remember anything that happened on Sunday.

On Monday, we once again had very little to do at work. We worked on a table of data for fundraising or something, and we were only there for about two hours. When I got back, a few people were going to the zoo. After changing my mind about three times, I decided to join them. It's a biblical zoo, so it has animals that were in the bible. But as they m,made quite clear, they did NOT have a pig; just an animal that looks like one (I forget what it's called). Some highlights include some playful bears, climbing monkeys, a bunch of young ibexes, a pelican that nearly bit Ben (it was sitting very close to the railing), and what we think were naked mole rats giving birth. That is, we know they were naked mole rats, and we're pretty sure they were giving birth right there in the exhibit. I can't decide if the little baby ones were cute or gross (the adults are the latter). In another part of the exhibit, one of the naked mole rats was continuously trying and failing to climb up something. He's probably still trying.

Today was another very short work day. After an hour of work we had the ulpan, during which I showed off my inability to read maps well, and that's about it. Maybe I'll do something fun tonight. I slept on the couch the last two nights, and I probably will again.
