A Few Days of My Life

You may remember that I previously published WORLD OF XPILAR Community Blogosphere Magazine. I would like to return to this work, but I can not. The preparation of the magazine takes a lot of time, most of which goes to reading other people's posts. Therefore, the publication of the journal is postponed again.

The war has changed our lives and so far nothing can return to normal.

By the way, at the top you can see a picture of my daughter :)

When the war broke out, my first task at work was to make anti-tank hedgehogs. I don't know how to translate it into English, but it looks like this:

Then I, together with the territorial defense fighters, guarded our chemical plants. Now I am involved in the manufacture of plates for body armor. My task is to inspect all the stocks in our warehouses and identify the remnants of titanium sheets. Then transport these sheets of titanium to the place of manufacture of plates for body armor.

Titanium is a corrosion-resistant metal. Therefore, it is widely used in the chemical industry. I found a lot of titanium sheets in our warehouses. As of today, we have used up all our supplies and stopped producing the plates.

Nowadays, most people ignore air alarms and do not go down to the shelter. I do the same, although I'm not proud of it. However, on Friday, I was assigned 10 workers and had the task of doing the necessary restoration work at the bomb shelter.

Most of this work had to be done earlier, but better late than never. That's why we have established such indicators:

We also cleaned the bomb shelter of foreign objects, brought a few bottles of water, a microwave oven, a first aid kit, and restored firefighting equipment.

We also brought old tables and chairs to the bomb shelter so that people could sit and even do some work.

In general, I am satisfied with the result. Today, about 300 people had the opportunity to evaluate our work during the next air alarm.

Despite the fact that I supplied material for the production of plates for body armor, from time to time I went around all our factories, checking for any interference. During one such tour, I finally discovered a sabotage and reconnaissance group that consisted of five wonderful puppies.

I couldn't leave them hungry there, so I called the local animal shelter. I wanted someone to come, catch them and take them to the shelter. A lady from the shelter told me that I must have watched Discovery too much, that they had no one to come for the animals, and if I wanted to save them, I had to catch them myself and bring them to the shelter.

Well, it turned out that the liquidation of this sabotage and reconnaissance group fell to me. I vigorously undertook this mission. First I found a cage where I could put the members of the group, then I started hunting. It turned out that the fighters of the sabotage and reconnaissance group were very well trained, apparently it was special forces. For the first 40 minutes I was able to catch only 2 puppies. I had to call for help.

When help arrived, we set out on a hunt. Another hour and we caught the whole group.

After work, we can now often see the following picture:

Or like this:

But this is only in some retail chains. In most stores you can buy everything you need.

My daughter, seeing the empty shelves in the store, asked, "What is this?" She had never seen such a thing before. I saw this when I was 5 years old. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, shops were completely empty, and when goods were imported, endless queues formed.

Meanwhile, fewer and fewer refugees are coming to our region. If earlier in my city 250-300 refugees a day were registered, now 60-80. At the moment, they are provided with the most necessary things thanks to caring people from Ukraine and around the world.

Thank you all for your help. Together to victory!
