Back again with a headache

Heatwave in Tel Aviv
The splitting headache has crippled me for the past few days. Moran my physio tells me it's due to a misalignment of my feet, legs or hips. We've been working on it the past few days. Hurts like hell. The headache has been slightly alleviated but not gone. And the heat is not much help either. 40 degrees of stifling humid air. While Tel Aviv looks beautiful, the heat and humidity has driven people away from the beach ... well, the invasion of jelly-fish also plays a big part. So my headaches lingers on .....

I guess stress is also a big element in my headache. Workers still appear and disappear ... and I spend the entire week waiting for nothing to happen, canceling appointments etc... waiting for workers that never come. It's an impossible situation. No wonder nothing ever developes in this part of the world ... we remain living in a desert. Only thing that will ever get the locals moving is a war. So let's hope one comes up soon. There's talk in the streets that after Ramadan, there'll be a major war in our region. I know of a few workers who would benefit from the war.

Dinner at Mandarin's
And in the evenings when I have some private time to rest and apply medication, there're social obligations. Friends come to visit, professors want to go out .... it's just one long day of running around because we're just down to 4 guys in this house (3 are over 70) ... everyone else has gone home for the summer. So it's work and headache. Chinese dinner with the guests sound pleasant ... ad it is, except when you have a headache that makes you nauseous.
