A very happy weekend to all in the community, our friend @galenkp with all the proposed topics has made me laugh and cry 🤣 not all that to my mind I can write it, especially the people I would put in the room with the bomb and believe me I am pacifist, but I liked to think that idea .
With everyone's permission I will focus my post on the first question, that will be my common thread, to be able to link some ideas that have a little to do with the rest of the topics, that is my intention, we will see if I succeed.
At this time not only my life but that of all my people is very difficult, I will not tire you describing all the shortages that we live, suffice it to say that the day to day in one way or another is to struggle to survive.
Categorically I can tell you that my people do not deserve what they live and the solution they have found is to emigrate because internally the options are not viable, scarce resources and repression.
I am writing in the wee hours of the morning because there has been no water for a week and now I have no strength to start the engine and fill the tanks that are connected to the hydraulic system of the house, so I leave you pictures of the early morning of today my husband and I in these labors .
The photos are not very good but they are real, this situation with the water supply is very serious, because sometimes it arrives with strength and there is no electricity, so this is becoming unbearable, I must do the household chores with water collected, I have no water in the faucets.
My husband is a doctor and doctor in physiological sciences, specializing in kidneys, I have a degree in Political Economy, we have worked hard all our lives, we created our savings for our old age, which we assumed would be relaxed, the government's financial institutions devalued our measures, money and sacrifice.
The problem of electricity hits me a lot, at this time we can say that we live practically without electricity, there are times with electricity, in which you must try to take advantage of it both at home and at work.
There were times when we had to cook at dawn because during the day we had no current and gas must be taken care of for times when the national electricity system is down, you do not know how long it takes to be restored or also for the hurricane season.
Obtaining gas is a real odyssey, as it can take more than four months to obtain it because there is no availability, which causes lines of days.
In the midst of all this chaos, you have to find a way to alleviate these problems and lower tensions.
Luckily gas is no longer a big problem because I can get it through my workplace without queuing and at a frequency of about 2 months.
Regarding electricity I have a fan and rechargeable lamps and also a charger for cell phones, I would like to buy a plant but at the moment this option is not within my reach, I have to prioritize other things.
It is very difficult for me to achieve a balanced diet, you have to go to the fairs and look for the best offers in the markets, in many occasions you can find what you need.
Although we try to be self-sustainable, we must recognize that without the remittances from abroad, both in money and with the famous food and medicine combos, life would be harder.
From a sentimental point of view it is very hard to have my children abroad, although we maintain very close ties, there are moments that I need to embrace them not only with my heart, I have missed valuable moments such as the birth of my grandchild.
I believe that those responsible for the difficulties in my life and in the lives of my fellow countrymen are the candidates who invite them into a room, not to throw a grenade, but to create a habitat like the one we live in today.
Life although difficult with all that I have told you, putting a little love and good will, we make it more bearable and we manage to make war on stress.
A few days ago in @ holos and lotus I was saying that when they take away the electricity we all get irritated, the little ones more, so we make games and competitions for them and we get infected with their joy so we have a better time.
I always try to do things that give me peace and joy, read, write, share with my friends and the community, walk, and above all enjoy my family.
The images are my own.
