Pity the poor immigrant

 Couldn't sleep last night, of course, because I needed to be up at 10 and my elbows were biting me. But it seemed I could hear knockings next door. Burglars? Limped downstairs to look. Lights shining throughout the house. New next doors renovating in the wee hours? But they specifically asked what time I go to bed. Oh well. Took muscle relaxant, stuffed ear plugs in ears, slept.

This evening as I stepped out to check the air (cooler than the weather page says: was freezing in my house),  older guy comes out from next door. It's the wallpaper guy, and he works evenings because he can't social distance from the guys who are redoing tne kitchen. 'I'd like to die a natural death.' Kawaisou. So I told him not to worry. I can sleep in the sideroom for a few nights.

*And* he has arthritis too, and had to stop working at 2 a.m. because the house was so cold he couldn't move anymore. Oh so glad I'm not an essential worker, oh so glad I have a money tree.

I've not been sleeping nights either - the last week has been insane warm and humid and just ugh! Ramadan ends on Sat evening. But it's kind of sad I can only visit my mum and look at her through the window.

On the upside - I don't have to visit other relatives! Ahahaha!

But this heat - ugh roll on August ... Which means a high chance we won't have our regular Japanese Natsu Matsuri this year. I hope we can still get some mooncakes ... *hugs*

Been baking and reading though - would like to add exercising and writing to that list - but no such luck.

Always look on the bright side.

I hope your weather will improve as much as it can in the current season and you can get some rest.
