Heat

Iconic umbrellas

 With summer vacation underway, working parents are searching for activities that can occupy their kids while the parents are at work. But of course such activities that double as daycare will cost quite a sum of money. Remember meals are included. As mentioned in previous blogs, agencies and schools prefer to organize day excursions as it costs less, is more educational and students get to choose which days to participate, and which days not. With almost two years of war, cancellation of outdoor activities and restriction of movement, students are frustrated feeling cramped physically and psychologically. Excursions compensate for this.

Temp rise between 32 - 36 degrees every day. It's stiflingly hot. And the iconic umbrellas are strung on many streets to provide shade, colour and a holiday vibe. A few of us are sick because of dehydration and exhaustion. With many priests on vacation, the few of us remaining must substitute them. That means traveling to other cities often with difficulties because Sabbat does not allow public transport. Without a private car, you're hostage to the taxis that work on Sabbat, and the prices go up triple.

The heat is giving me a headache right now. I'll have to rest more. July 1st is another medical examination and possibly an MRI.
