About me and my life now
Any accidental visitor of my site might be
keen in learning my everyday life conditions, I guess. So let me tell
about the place I知 living in and about my family.
I live in Moscow, Russia. Some time ago I used to live in old-fashioned Stalin-time house - a highly ｫimperialｻ style that was. It was brought from Berlin after the Second World War.
The building looked great and the district was an old one - quiet and green. But... - oh, this forever Russian ｫButｻ! So, BUT our flat was located on the fourth floor and such a house had no elevator. Since I am not able to walk my-self, any voyage to be made required four persons to carry me down the stairs and up again. I知 not that heavy and two carriers would be normally be enough, but since it was usually to be a working day, there would be 2 shifts: one in the morning and another in the afternoon.
By last winter we all got too sick of this
system and were in need of money. So we moved to an outlying Moscow district,
to a two room apartment at the ground floor. Now we do not depend on an
elevator anymore and I can go outside on my own feet, with some help.
While moving we choose a district with more friends, so my classmate, for example, is living just across the road.
This flat has two rooms, but the buyers of our old flat bought it together with the huge ancient piano we had and with some books and furniture, so we succeeded in fitting all our remaining possessions into less space than the old three-room apartment.
Now all the stuff is arranged, mother lives in the smaller room, me together with my father, we occupy the bigger one. It is provided with new fashionable TV-set and an old cupboard that we brought from the old place (it was actually older than the previous flat itself was - originally it was brought from Germany in the 19th century).
Here are presented the pictures of the flat, of me together with my parents and of me together with the cupboard (I believe it to be animated).
But the biggest pleasure was that of our cat. Before this poor creature had to limit himself by observing occasional birds that one can notice from the fourth floor. So now he is very happy virtually to hunt them coming so close that it makes him miauing out loud! .. But the window is still closed.
So let me introduce you to our tom-cat that is actually called Theodor Bonifatievich ( Tisha for friends). A nice fellow he is, isn稚 him?
It is considered that a person in my state has to train a lot. To make it better possible, we have constructed a special training place with a so-called Swedish wall. That is an up-right wooden stair to assist me while doing some exercises.
Here you are welcome to see my ｫsport placeｻ
Beside that I知 walking along the flat with
side-walkers. Using these walkers I can even reach the bath-room by myself
with minimal help of my parents. Before they had to carry me there too.
Unfortunately the bathroom space is too small to go there everyday for
brushing teeth. Till now I知 doing it in my room with a bowl.
But .. again this ｫbutｻ! .. but soon I知 looking forward to moving to Israel.
Well, you may know a proverb that one moving is equal to two burning, so good training we had, haven稚 we?
