no , I’m not slacking ….!
So, you might be wondering why I haven’t posted, well … I guess the good’ole saying, no news is good news applies here.
For the past couple of days, I’ve been in contact with my parents over the phone just about every morning, and they are almost living a normal life, at least from a safety standpoint. Unfortunately, resources are starting to lack more and more in the country, here’s the an excerpt of an email I received from my dad this morning regarding this situation:
As for our status as of today… we had a calm night, and we started getting used to the situation especially us who are living in the relatively calmer areas… though it cannot last for long as many things started to run short… yesterday I went to buy some feed for the chicken and rabbits, and the man said probably this is the last time you find feed for them as there is no supply anymore, and if things stop now, it will take at least a month to re-stock again!! And this applies to many other materials including fuel for cars, generators etc.., wheat for bread, … raw materials for food industry etc… and talking about industry, many factories have closed because of the shortage in raw materials as well as the foreign labor (Mainly Syrians and Egyptians) who fled away back to their countries as it is the case with Aahed our worker.. and now I have to do all the work myself…
By the way, I think you remember my friend Ali… he lives in Dahyeh, though he left to the mountains some time ago… but yesterday he visited his home, and found out that though it was not directly hit, but all the windows and doors were wide open because of the pressure of the explosives which are at least few hundred meters far !
That is all for today, but keep an eye for some more updates. I will try to update a little more often than I have in the past couple of days.
Fortunately, in this case, not having updates is probably a good thing.
And by the way, what is up with this crazy heat? I’m melting!
