In my observation and opinion, patriotism is food, drug and, eventually, the creator of all wars.

So... it's moving, but it's moving quite slowly, because the thought has occurred to me that without a car and a driver's license it will be an extremely difficult challenge: to leave my country. Not even because of clothes, a computer, yarn or other things that I like to have. But because of my cat. She is a very nervous girl, and a few days on a bus will be torture for everyone. And even when I leave... I don't expect an easy life. I don't even know where we will go and decide to stay. But with a car it will be much easier for her.
The medical examination was exhausting, a lot of useless actions for a lot of money, but I did it.
Now I am preparing for the traffic rules exam. It is easy. But it is difficult to pass, because I have to go to another city. And wait many, many, many endless hours for my turn. However, I can do some knitting there.
The main thing is that there is no air raid alarm and we are not thrown out into the street.

I have to admit. My mind is my prison. Not the country, whose border is close. Not my social status, which does not give the opportunity to make real changes. Not my body, not my native language and not the official language of the country in which I live, not politics, health, relatives... just me.

Sometimes I feel so lonely. I want so desperately some kind of community, but I feel like a stranger everywhere. There is no place in the world where people like me can feel accepted. How easy it was to just listen to propaganda or gurus, how nice it was to know that somewhere there are people who believe in the same things you do. And how hard it is to wake up and think your own thoughts, to feel your own heart. Because from now on, there is only one thing I can be sure of: I will never find a single living being who will truly understand me.

I have been working on a silk shirt for the last few days. Tussah silk is a very interesting material, it looks and feels very similar to wool. I hope the other characteristics will be like silk, otherwise I will have to buy more yarn and make long sleeves.

Finished home socks from a very unusual yarn. It was very interesting and fast.

These socks are done. I'm happy to move the tutorial file to the "Done" folder. I bought it almost a year ago and started to think I'd never make them.
