Retired

Ratisbon chapel

The weather continues to be relentless. And I read that it's all over the world ... the hottest July around the northern hemisphere. We don't know how long more will this heatwave last ... August has come and it might get even hotter. I can see how seriously hot it is ... my aquarium evaporates by one inch a day!!!! I've actually been measuring the water level and it is that drastic!

Tens of thousands around the country have protested in the 30th consecutive week against the changes to the law on justice and judges. It's been passed partially and it means ministers will be above the law, but not so for the rest of the country. It's a privilege for the privileged. Meanwhile newspapers say the govt is going to siphon 164 million shekels from other ministris to fund ultra-orthodox seminaries, because the govt depends on these ultra-orthodox groups to keep the coalition going. 

My feet are terribly swollen and makes walking difficult. And my left wrist continues to hurt. I've been told many times and I'm seriously considering getting a small transporter to get me going around. I am no longer very mobile. But others are saying if I rely on that, I'll only get worse. I must instead continue walking to keep the muscles and organs going. Well this heat and the amount of work stacking up is not helping. I've retired from one job as of last month as my health can no longer manage it. The Custos agreed and released me. Things should technically be easier on me. But that remains to be seen.
