1284 day of war

Hello, friends!

Thank you from Nastya for the greetings!
Yesterday was her birthday and we went for a walk in the park. I gave her a shirt I made myself, and in the evening we had cake.
I was also lucky to get another shirt order, so work is moving a little and things feel more or less okay, even though the last few days have been tough.

The last two nights were tough and we hardly slept because of the shelling. We haven’t had such heavy attacks for months and it’s clear there is no sign of this war stopping. We’re not surprised, because from the very first months of the invasion it felt like Putin would never just leave us alone and would fight as long as he can. The hardest part now is the exhaustion, both from the situation itself and from the feeling that we can’t influence it in any way.

Summer isn’t even over yet and there are already many strikes on energy infrastructure. It feels like a vicious circle, because then the cold will come and we’ll face more power outages across the city, the same thing almost every year. Our country hits oil refineries to slow down the enemy’s advance, while here after every attack we’re left with destroyed apartment buildings and damaged electricity and gas stations. All of this creates a deep sense of fatigue. The news says there will be shelling again tonight, so we are already preparing a place to sleep in the hallway.

Still, I hope for better days and for this to finally end. Whatever happens, we are preparing for everything and I believe we will get through it.

Thank you so much for your support and for helping through BuyMeACoffee. It really makes a difference and I appreciate it a lot.
