19:37 – AN AMBULANCE SCREECHED ACROSS THE STREET AND A SIREN SOUNDED VERY LOUD AND I CALLED “WILLIE” AND DID NOT HEAR HIM ANSWER AS THE HEADPHONES WERE ON MY HEAD WHILE I LISTENED TO A SHORT FILM AND I PANICKED “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU WILLIE?”

19:38 MY WHATSAPP LIT UP GREEN WITH AT LEAST 10 CALLS, “ARE YOU GUYS OK? NAHARIYA HAD SIRENS?” SOME OF THESE WERE FROM THE USA, OTHER CITIES IN ISRAEL, NONE FROM NAHARIYA. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN IN SHOCK HEARING THAT SOUND. I CALLED MY 86 YEARS OLD FRIEND UPSTAIRS,

“ARE YOU OK RAYA?”

YES, ALL IS WELL.

“ARE YOU ALONE?”

NO, GOD IS HERE, WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE.

Key sera sera.... GOES THE SONG, AND MY DEAR FRIEND HAS NO PROBLEM LIVING IT DAILY. WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE SHE IS TO ME.

IT TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO CALM DOWN. THANK YOU GOD, FOR DIRECTING OUR CITY LEADERS TO KEEP THOSE SIRENS QUIET. I DOUBT ANYONE EVER GETS USED TO THAT HORRIBLE NOISE. I UNDERSTAND TOTALLY WHY THE CITY LEADERS ARE KEEPING THE SIRENS AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE. ONE CAN GET A HEART ATTACK, OR AT LEAST ELEVATED BP FROM THE NOISE ALONE.

ROCKETS SHOT TOWARD THE NORTH OF NAHARIYAS. NONE FELL WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THE SOUNDS WE HEAR NOW ARE THE IDF ANSWERING. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE MORE ROCKET FIRES COMING OUR WAY.

ACROSS THE STREET A MAN WHO WALKED TOWARD THE AMBULANCE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS. IT SEEMED HE WAS WALKING SLOWLY DOWN THE STAIRS, THE SIRENS SOUNDED AND HE JUST GOT SCARED AND STARTED A HEART ATTACK. NOW THAT'S ALL HEAR SAY. WE HEARD THE PARAMEDICS SHOUTING ORDERS AND EXPLANATIONS AFTER THE SIREN QUIETED DOWN.

IT IS ALMOST AN HOUR LATER. WE WILL BE GOING TO SLEEP EARLY, JUST IN CASE WE WILL NEED TO GET UP LATER.

I COMPLAINED EARLIER TO WILLIE THAT SINCE I HAD TO QUIT MY VOLUNTEER SPOTS BECAUSE OF MY EYES, I HAD BEEN BORED.

SORRY GOD, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR COMPLAINING, I RATHER BE BORED.
