Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Qiryat Shmona, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m heading down HaGalil Street, and I’m already late for my meeting. Classic me. I’m dodging people like I’m in some kind of obstacle course. You know how it is. Qiryat Shmona’s got that small-town vibe, but the streets can get packed, especially near the market. I swear, if I had a shekel for every time I bumped into someone, I’d be rich.
So, I finally get to the clinic, and guess what? The power’s out! Like, seriously? In the middle of a clinical trial? I’m fuming. I mean, come on! We’re trying to save lives here, not play hide and seek with the electricity. I’m pacing around, thinking about how I’m gonna explain this to my boss. Not fun.
Then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy, Eli. He’s like, “Yo, you gotta check out the new café on HaShomer Street!” I’m like, “Dude, I’m in crisis mode here!” But then I think, maybe a coffee will help. So, I sneak out during the power outage. Priorities, right?
I get to this café, and it’s packed! I mean, Qiryat Shmona is small, but this place is buzzing. I order a cappuccino, and while I’m waiting, I overhear this couple arguing. Like, full-on drama. I’m trying not to eavesdrop, but it’s hard when they’re practically shouting. Turns out, they’re fighting about where to go for dinner. I’m thinking, “Dude, just hit up the falafel joint on HaTzofim Street. Problem solved!”
Finally, I get my coffee, and it’s amazing. Like, I’m talking about a life-changing cup of joe. I take a sip, and it’s like the clouds parting. I’m feeling good again. But then, I remember the power outage. Ugh. Back to reality.
I rush back to the clinic, and guess what? The power’s back! Yay! But now, we’re behind schedule. I’m running around like a headless chicken, trying to get everything back on track. I’m talking to patients, trying to keep them calm. One lady, she’s super chill. She’s like, “It’s all good, just give me my meds.” I’m like, “You’re a rockstar!”
But then, there’s this one guy. He’s freaking out. I mean, I get it, but dude, chill! He’s pacing, sweating, and I’m just trying to keep it together. I’m thinking, “Why can’t everyone be like the lady?”
After a long day, I finally wrap things up. I’m exhausted, but I feel accomplished. I step outside, and the sunset over the Galilee is stunning. Like, seriously, Qiryat Shmona has some of the best views. I take a deep breath, and for a moment, everything feels right.
But then, I remember I still have to get home. And of course, the bus is late. I’m standing there, thinking about how I just want to crash on my couch. I’m scrolling through my phone, and I see Eli’s text again. “Café tomorrow?” I’m like, “You bet!”
So, yeah, that was my day in Qiryat Shmona. Full of ups and downs, but hey, that’s life, right? Can’t wait to do it all over again tomorrow!
