Welcome to my hidden world!

Получила имэил :
 Мгновенное улучшение слуха.

 Когда вы находитесь в шумном месте – в гостях, на вечеринке, на концерте – на фоне громких звуков вам необходимо расслышать тихую мелодию, играющую, например, на мобильнике у стоящего неподалеку человека, попробуйте повернуться к нему левым ухом. Из-за особенностей обработки звуковых сигналов в нашем мозгу именно левое ухо более чувствительно к музыкальным и мелодичным звукам.

 Больно? Кашляй!

 Как показали опыты, при необходимости быстро уменьшить болевые ощущения, например, при уколе, надо хорошо покашлять. Во время кашля происходит мгновенное увеличение давления в грудной клетке и спинномозговом канале, что уменьшает активность болевых рецепторов.

 Избавиться от насморка за 20 секунд.

Happy Sukkot!

Today we are invited over Masha’s sukkah to celebrate beginning of Sukkot.  It is a happy holiday.  I am still sick and contemplating if I will go or not.  I really want to but on the other hand don’t want to spread the germs.

I still have an hour to think about it and take medication, spray my nose with decongestant and just go. 
Tired of being sick and sick of being tired!

Happy Holidays nevertheless!

Update:
I ended up going over Masha's with my family.  We started traditional meal in the sukkah on time and it started to rain.  At first it was a light rain that we ignored and then it continued for the next night and day non stop.  When the water started coming down hard we took all the food into the house and were finishing the party inside.

Boris took kids home earlier and I ended up staying with Masha and Lena later.  We had a nice talk and finished with Masha saying a long prayer in the sukkah while Lena and I were listening and getting wet even though we wore rain jackets.  Masha was upset that it was raining.  Well, it is Minnesota, not Jerusalem.  I remember that every sukkot it is raining here.  I have been to Vita and Garik's sukkah and it was also raining.

I don’t like long weekends when we have no plans.  This one was one of them.  It was real labor day for me.  I have been laboring alas working most of the time.  When I am at home, there is no end to home work and taking care of kids:  cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, laundry, changing diapers, entertaining kids, cleaning, etc.... 
I was trying to take a break and hide a few times to read a book, but it didn’t work for long.  Michelle got really independent now and just quietly wonders around the house in search of mommy.

This morning I dropped kids at my mom and went to meet and listen to Rav Polonsky pinchas It was somewhat short lecture and the first part was a little over my head.  I will write about it separately.  I bought one of his books and got his autograph.  I like that he is looking for new ways and new understandings of Torah and traditions.  He also appreciates all information that is given rather then opposing it right away as many do.  I was even questioning if he is considered a trivial persona amongst traditional religious Jews because of his accepting views. 

After the lecture I went to pick up kids and got stock at my parents house as usually.  I also had a flat tire.  Eventually, Mishka talked me into taking him to the pool at our community center.  I agreed to do it only without Michelle.  I had about 1.5 hr to read my book while he was playing in the water.  I am somewhat frustrated because I am reading 4 books at the same time and absolutely have no time to finish at least one of them.

I am getting rusty and started seriously feeling my developing over the year’s arthritis.  My right wrist is in pain since Friday.  I tried to stay away from computer all weekend, just spent some time each evening.  No matter what I do, I need to use my right arm.  It is pretty annoying.  I put some warming cream and put on a wristband, I hope it will go away.     

 Can’t wait to go to work tomorrow and get some rest.  

I got this e-mail from a friend about importance of right timing to drink water.  I looked on the internet to see where it is coming from and did not find any official health/medical or research sites.  It was mostly people like I am posting it in their blogs and on some weird looking pages with a lot of ads.

The idea sounds reasonable, so I am posting it here for myself to remember and for others who didn’t know.

Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:
