Ashura

Today was another lazy day. It was the Day of Ashura, which is an Islamic religious holiday. None of our usual contacts with the local authorities were on duty because of this holiday, so we didn't do much. We haven't been especially busy recently, but I suppose that another day off can't harm anyone. I certainly felt very tired in the morning, but still I somehow managed to put on my CBA and go walking on the treadmill. I walked for one hour with the speed 6.5 km/h and the inclination 6 degrees. That means that i climbed 390 metres with the CBA on, which weighs 14,5 kilograms. It sounds like much, but it didn't feel that bad, actually. In the afternoon I finished some paperwork. Then it was time for some medical training. The topics of the day were protecting of the airway and intraosseous infusion. Today I also bought a carpet for my mother and some scarves for my cousin.
