The last few days/ My Sick Uncle

At Friday I went to the police department right after I went to a buro that filled some documents for me in order to apply for a passport that allows me to travel abroad out of the European Union (foreign id). At Thursday I heard I'll need that because we're going to pass through Jugoslavia with the bus when traveling towards the Netherlands. Later the same day I had to go to pay for a few months of healthy insurances which I haven't paid for because it was required that I had paid for the last 15 months in order to give me a document that assures I'm healthy insured otherwise I can't apply for an European Healhycare ID. Luckily thanks God everything went fine with this too so after 2 weeks the ID should be ready. Yesterday I woke up at the morning after a really disturbing night. I went to my father's grandma's home after visiting the Church. I was expecting that she would be at the garage where she usually sells vegetables but this time it was he sister, she said my grandma and grandpa are to the gardens in (Kozloduici), the village where they're growing the vegetables they sell. I stayed there for 20 or 30 minutes talking with my grandma's sister and then my grandma and granpa arrived. I helped them a bit unloading the tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and the other vegetables they bringed from the village and then helped them classify the vegetables by size and clear them from the dirt. After 3 hours or so my grandma gave me one Melon because I went to my very sick uncle's home. It's painy to see him because he is so sick that it's hard for him even to speak, he is so much tormented from the sickness that his legs had the size of my arms :(. I spend 2 hours or a bit more there and I set off to home. At the way home I met (chicho Plamen) who is a Christian and a faithfully buddy who prayed a lot for me and gave me a lot of precious advices and general spiritual guidance over the last few years. He said he is celebrating his 25 years of his marriage so he wanted to give me a tip on his behalf. We had a nice talk and I drinked a natural juice plus a nice traditional meal (pepper with tomatoes souce). An hour later I went out with my Aunt Maria and we had a really nice talk about general life stuff etc. etc. At night I went to see my grandma Stefka. After which I made myself a nice salad �f (tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers, garlic and onion after which I went to bed. I have to mention that yesterday and I understood that it's fasting time again. It's the so called orthodox (Bogorodichen post). It starts from 1st of Aug and lastes until 13-n of Aug.
