Crowds

Soaking in the sun today
 The weather has been warming up this weekend. Up to 18 degrees. But the nights continue to be chilly. I caught a cold this morning at 4am despite having the heater aimed at my bed all night. Runny nose all days.

But the sun was very welcomed by the crowds and lots of people came out to the streets and parks to soak in the sun. Crowds were stacked at the cavea seats of Damascus Gate. Yesterday evening while coming home, I also found huge crowds at the cavea. People were just sitting and chatting and enjoying the warm weather instead of being stuck inside the house. You won't know that the pandemia is still around, Hardly anyone wore masks and distancing doesn't exist. The police were there but nothing was enforced. We've reached a stage whree everyone believes we just have to live with the virus and deal with it. Shops cannot continue to close as families have suffered financially and psychologically for the past 2 years.

Night time crowds
The Spring break is over and school has restarted. The libraries are getting crowded again and our schedule is back to normal. My problem is my body can't catch up. I've slowed down alot and no longer have the energy. Just walking to work is an ordeal. But I'll have to continue so the students get their books and references needed for their studies.

Meantime I might be due to meet my doc again. Overall I'm not feeling good and something is wrong. I'm keeping all the rules of Covid prevention but there's still other health problems to be addressed.
