What Now?

It is 7:00 a.m. in the holy city of safed.  i shot out of bed at 6:00 a.m. and took the dogs out.  they didn't make but they sniffed around profusely.  there are a lot of creatures living in the green areas at the end of the street.  i haven't seen the jackal in weeks.  i am not sure if the humane society that i called; ever came to pick him up.  it is super quiet this morning. we were out for about 45 minutes.

i did hear the men down the street, praying outside of the synagogue.  i was glad.  i think we all let loose yesterday.  i guess we are back to the present situation again.  i kept the dogs inside for most of the day; yesterday.  there were just too many people coming and going and i know they would have barked all day.  i didn't want to disturb the neighbors and their families.

i looked in the mirror and was greatly surprised to see that i didn't look like a Cyclops.  i felt certain that my eyes and face would be swollen from all the nitrates i consumed yesterday.  i ate two corn tortilla wraps with salami before i went downstairs to the barbecue.  i didn't think that i could eat anything more, but i did.  i had a couple of hot dogs, two chicken wings, and a small schnitzel.  i also managed to wolf down a bunch of fries and a pita. 

i got to talk with young people and interact with a small child.  i discovered that even young people are struggling to remember what day it is.  it isn't just us seniors.  i realized that they were not my enemy and out to kill me with the rona.  they are my extended family.  these people had feelings for me.  i hope that i stay rona free and i will continue to do my part.  i am not rushing to go to the library or shop in town.  i think i have what i need for Shabbat and i don't need to go to the supermarket.  i am staying in today.

i have a slight cough and runny nose.  the change in weather is playing havoc on my head.  i have a constant headache.  i am going to drink my daily; lemon, honey, ginger and hot paprika elixir and then have a bit of breakfast.  i managed to skip taking the antibiotics yesterday and my tooth is ''quaking'.  i think my body needs to detox today.  i will stay away from heavy foods and maybe keep to drinking shakes.  it is warming up and we have been promised a few days of heat.  the house is still freezing. 

i took off my fleece winter robe and my arms are cold.  i am still wearing fleece tights.  i would put my sweats back on but thy are still wet and hanging outside.  i did some hand washing in the bathtub, yestertday.  i hot burning hot water so i am pleased at the results.  my washing machine is on its last legs and doesn't go through a rinse cycle.  most of the clothes are coated and streaked with detergent.  one of the dogs vomited on my sofa bed and i can't seem to get he smell out.  i have gone over it multi times with a schemata and shampoo.  oh well.......

5:00 p.m. correction:  i forgot to mention that you seep a bag of green tea in the elixir as well as some mint, which is an antihistamine.
