it is 5:30 p.m. in the holy city of safed. i did virtually nothing today besides sleep and eat. i made some oatmeal this morning and ate it again in the afternoon. i caught up on some much needed sleep; having pulled an all nighter on Saturday night. it is quite hot outside. i wore my fleece pajamas in the house and slept under a heavy comforter. yes, the house is still cold. i didn't hear from a soul today.
a neighbor told me that she saw pigeons entering my veranda upstairs. i just got back downstairs from tightening the mesh and closing up little gaps. i was out of thumb tacks and good twine. i used the roll of package wrapping ribbon. it will hold off those suckers for a littlewhile, longer. i swept up the mounds of pigeon poop, which is always messy and toxic. i wore my mask. score one for the seniors.
i have no desire to get on a bus and go to town. the younger population are out and about today. i am staying close to home. i can't think of a thing i need to do nor a place i have to go. i still have enough food to cook. who knows? maybe the veggie truck will roll by tomorrow. the yeshiva called yesterday to see if i was ready to return to work. there are ten guys who are; more or less; stranded there. i would be willing to cook at home if someone would pick up the food but i know that is not a realistic approach to the situation. i am simply; not going to enter the general population any time soon. they will have to find a new cook.
tonight is the start of holocaust remembrance day. that means only holocaust films on t.v. until tomorrow night. my family lost quite a few members during the holocaust and i don't need a random day to remember. it is part of our DNA. i guess i'll be online all night. i am getting hungry. i made shakshuka last night. that is basically, poached eggs in a tomato sauce. i didn't bother to sauté onions or red peppers. i dumped a can of tomatoes into a pan and added a bit of salt and black pepper. i am keeping it simple these days.
i have a tooth ache today. i will keep rinsing it with salt water. hopefully, it will just go away. there is no going to dentists now. it's always something! i don't do well in the heat. i prefer the cold. i always feel feverish in the summer. i get dizzy, too. the dogs weren't all that thrilled with being outside today, either. i am in the mood for a matzah brie. i guess that's my next move. i have one friend who is writing a play and i have another who is posting music on her Yamaha forum. my sister is online with a torah study group and my brother is writhing psychological essays on the torah portion. i am going to make supper.
