The Diary Game: Back from time off work

I cannot deny that I experience certain difficulties with writing posts on Steemit. Still, if I decided that I would keep a blog, then I need to stick to that plan. For the past three weeks I did not work. I had mandatory time off work. It so happened that I didn’t really do anything special during this period, only took care of some household matters and helped my wife with her work, and therefore this period of time was rather boring and routine for me. So even if I had wanted to write something during this period, I would hardly have managed to come up with anythingh interesting. It is very difficult to start working after a long time off work. The body gets out of the habit of working in a certain rhythm, and it feels like you have to learn it all over again . But that’s okay, I’ll recover. I just needf to get through the first week.

In Israel summer has ended. To be honest, this boundary is not particularly noticeable, since the heat continues until the end of September. But there were even such years when it was hot until November. Today is September 1st, and the school year has started. Thisd day was marked by the heaviest traffic jam on the roads. There were severe traffic delays , and I was late for work, driving at my usual pace and at my usual speed . I definitely need to do something about this.

Yesterday evening I went out into the yard and nearly stepped on a small defenseless creature. It was a gecko. It managed to run one meter away from me and froze on the spot. Most likely, it thought I wouldn’t notice it. But it was wrong. I approached it very slowly and photographed it. When you move slowly, these animals do not perceive you as a threat and often remain motionless until you begin to do something — try to touch them. In Israel, there is a belief that if a gecko lives in your house or apartment, it brings good luck. I don’t know about luck, but it catches and eats small insects and arachnids with great pleasure. To getf rid of spiders in the house, I already consider that good luck. In fact geckos often sneak into living spaces and feel perfectly fine there. During the day they hide in secluded spots behind door frames, in closets, and at night they go out hunting for insectsd. I don’t see anything scary or disgusting in these cute animals . I like them very much.

Today’s post turned out not very informative, but I will make every effort to overcome this barrier and be more interesting in communication (or in reading… lol).

I wish everyone a successful week and a good mood!
