Sick sick

There was a terrible sandstorm again yesterday. The sky was a dull yellow and the oppressive heat weighed like a blanket suffocating everything beneath. Sand everywhere. Awful.

Have been feeling very sick yesterday. Sprained my neck and shoulder yesterday because I was carrying a heavy backpack. Hurt so bad I still have a headache from it ... and vomited the whole night and morning. Rani the pharmacist gave me two strong medicines - a muscle relaxant and a pain-suppressant. What I really need is to sleep. And my right knee is giving me trouble - pain and weak, so I'm buckling over.

Tom & Jerry at Jacob's Pizza

On the bright side - just for laughs: Jacob's Pizzeria plays non-stop Tom and Jerry cartoons. People enjoy it very much! These guys who run the place are really something!  A group of catholic youths got together and started up this pizzeria - and a couple of these guys are deaf-mute as well. Hats off to them. They deserve good patronage not just because they create good pizzas, and have a real cool place to hangout ... but because they're willing to work hard for the money; and not just sponge off their parents or get into trouble.

And the price of tomatoes have doubled this week.  That would mean a rise of prices in pizza as well.  http://www.haaretz.com/business/price-of-tomatoes-doubles-in-two-weeks-1.427237   If this is any indication, we'd expect prices of other goods to also rise by early summer. Higher prices = more protests and boycotts. It's going to be a busy summer ......
