Hello everyone!
It's orthodox Pentecost here today! I just realized that for catholics, it was on May 31st, so if anyone celebrates it,- happy belated Pentecost!
It's one of the main religious holidays here, and it's called just "The day of holy Trinity". I don't celebrate it though...
Unghshu is enjoying silence, as mom is at the country now. I called her (made a video call) 30 minutes ago, and we managed to fight!
Gala is at the country too, which i'm really happy about. Liza and David are permanently living at the country, because Liza is afraid of living in Koltushi (because of the increased number of infected). Elijah can't live next to mom 24/7, and he has to have rest from her occasionally (i can totally understand that!).
Yesterday night, Unghshu was feeling awkward, because my left lung hurt, and i didn't know where to put myself. I took everything i could (against COPD) and fell asleep, having asked Sumerian gods to fix it. And today i feel a lot better (still awkward though). I know i shouldn't lie on bed so much, but i can't sit for a very long time, and my evening walks is the best "treatment" i'm getting so far. I walk for about 2 hours without a single stop, and it's not what i could do twice a day. Maybe after Jun.15th, i'll go to the country. It has to become warm enough to be able to wash myself outside, with cold (cool) water, and it's not like that yet. But the main requirement - is that it has to be warm enough not to switch on the heater in my room on the second floor at night. It's not about being able to afford it,- the reason is that Liza and mom switch heaters and other electric device all the time, and our system won't withstand so many electric device, working at the same time.
Both times (before May 7-9 and May 27-29) i was warned by Sumerian gods about a possible danger for David, and both times there was real danger (thank god, everything is ok). I brainwashed mom, Liza and Elijah beforehand, but they acted cluelessly anyway. The first time it turned out that it was connected to electricity (Liza burnt our energy meter),- they even had to call an electrician from Tosno, who fixed it (Elijah was at our place here with me, so he spent a lot of time negotiating with that guy who took only $7.3 for his work); the second time - Liza let David climb tiny stairs to the small house (Gala's house), while she didn't look after him thoroughly, because he had done that before. But David stumbled and fell down from the stairs. He broke his tooth, but that's it. He's ok now, and he eats as usual.
I didn't tell you (because i was stressed out), but on Jun.1st, Unghshu went to work, to the city!!! Actually, the word "went" is not very appropriate, because Elijah took his time to drive me to work (and i was very lucky about that). I couldn't refuse to go to work, and it was freakin' scary. On Jun.1st, i woke up and saw in our "Choreography department group" (in Whatsapp messenger) that all employees had to go to work on Jun.2nd-5th and fill out their class journals and run other errands, if they had any. They made a schedule for each department. Choreography department should have come on Jun.5th at 10a.m.-1p.m. It wasn't an option for me. First of all, going there by 3 public transports is a pure suicide, plus, seeing so many people (who will definitely want to hug and chat with you, and simply will be breathing at you) is a suicide either. So i negotiated with our teacher in chief, Olga Sergeyevna, then with our security, and attained a permission to come on Jun.1st, at 5p.m. Elijah brought me there, i put on a mask and latex gloves, called the security, and she opened the door. I came inside, she checked my temperature with a forehead thermometer (she was in a mask too), and she made me "clean" my gloves with a hand sanitizer that was on the wall. It was stinky(!) inside, like if a toilet had got damaged! So i took my journal, went outside, sat on granite stairs and filled out my journal there. Then i realized there were no blanks for personal data there, because they were supposed to be only on Jun.2nd. I asked the security and she confirmed it. I got very upset, but then i suddenly met our 3rd deputy director Natalia Li (she's Chinese), and she was kind enough to promise to "mark" me as a person who complied with all demands. She even new my name/surname! (I didn't expect that!) After that, i ran out, as there was really stinky and humid inside, and Elijah took me home. In a nutshell, i met only 5 people: the security, the 3rd deputy director, the cleaner, and 2 teachers whom i'm not acquainted with. It's much less than i could have met and talked to, if i went there on Jun.5th, according to the schedule. I have to say, i felt very nostalgic when i saw our lyceum.
It's warm now and the sun is shining, not like yesterday evening when it was a storm. I'll have lunch, sleep some more and go for a walk. I'm happy that i still have 2 big heads of napa-cabbage. The new one (bought by mom a couple days ago) is green-ish (i've never eaten this cultivar), and it's yummy!
Unghshu's bragging, hehehe. New napa-cabbage floating in the bathtub:

I'm praying for those caucasians (they didn't deserve that).
