Could Visiting Grandma Become legal Again?

it is 9:00 a.m. in the holy city of safed.  i got up at 5:30 a.m. and walked the dogs.  it was a bit strange.  i saw men going to the synagogue.  i got back a half an hour later and went straight to bed.  i didn't go back to sleep.  i retrieved my reading glasses from the puppy's mouth and started to read a murder mystery that i began on Shabbat.   i just made my morning green tea with ginger, lemon and hot paprika.  i used a jasmin tea today.  i need to buy mint leaves for this elixir.  i used a mint tea yesterday.

 i ate way too many carbs yesterday and i noshed all day long.  i hit the peanut butter pretty hard, too.  i took a nap in the afternoon.  i do practically nothing everyday and yet i am always tired.  i watched the HBO flick, Bad Education.   it took me awhile to really get into it.  a friend came by at 4:00 p.m.  and we sat outside for an hour.  i walked her back to her home with the dogs.  i don't seem to have the patience with other people for more than an hour.  i can't be out of my home for long.  when i got home i rewound the film and watched til the end.  i kind of liked it.

i need to finish the mystery novel today because my neighbor will be returning it to the English library downtown tomorrow.  it reopened yesterday.  i do not usually go there.  i get quite claustrophobic inside.  i usually borrow books from my friend, who goes to the library.  right now, she is not so keen on going.  the entire country is opening up.  schools in major cities opened up.  in safed they will remain closed.  i believe, that clothing stores have opened here.  i am not rushing to get downtown.

i just read that the government is considering letting families visit their grandparents.  i haven't seen the kids in two months.  i read yesterday that children don't really pass on the virus to others.  they said that babies were breeders of the virus now; if their mothers had it.  swell!  i'm sort of waiting to hear from the kids that they will be coming up for Shabbat.  it always is a last minute request and i'm never truly prepared.  i have a couple of treats and little presents for the older grandchildren that i bought for pesach and some poulty and meat in the freezer.  i would just have to buy some veggies and beer; no big deal.

i am just predicting a call.  i really am not sure.  if they did come they could have dinner downstairs with the Sephardi grandparents.  she cooks and bakes every day.  she'd be up for cakes and challah and tons of food for Friday night.  i could swing a cholent for lunch and a salad.  let's just wait and see what truly transpires.  my friends and i are all going a bit nuts.  we don't fit into the herd immunity mentality and we are all still keeping our distance from the masses.  we are all confused and agitated and nervous about life, during corona.

i have an appointment with my gyn-oncologist tomorrow in tel aviv.  there is no way that i would risk the bus ride there.  i feel very frustrated.  i need to do an MRI brain scan soon, too.  i probably could do it in safed but if i do it once; they will never allow me to do it in tel aviv again.  what to do???  i get nervous just thinking about this.  i wonder what will do me in: the brain tumor, the microscopic lung tumor or the rona?  what a wonder!
