Wha do you do when...?

What to do when ...

• you had a bad, long day at work wt endless meetings
• you are trying to teach smth and the kids don't get it
• you think you will enjoy a nice walk home, but every single man that passes you stares at you
• you think you will go home and relax but you won't because...
• you come home and the garbage is still in front of the door just like 3 days ago when you took it out, waiting to be collected
• you have people coming to you just to complain about smth, without coming up with a solution
• you realise that the new stove you just got is not working properly and you can't have baked potatoes tonight, just as you planned
• your cat is still wild and dirty (especially after you cleaned him the day before)
• the supermarket is closed at 5 pm, just because it is Ramadan and people need to go and eat, travelling for 1.5 hours home and then coming back (i wonder why they don't pack some food and stick it in the fridge)
• you have huge ants everywhere in your kitchen
• you are craving for some goodies/chocholate/sweeties/biscuits but you have nothing in the cupboard
• you can't help the tears coming out
• ... you don't know what to do...
• ........
• .................

Well, i guess i can't answer any of the questions above; as a friend would say, you just have to ignore everything and get on with ur life or whatever you're doing. This was my life in Egypt today .... I might agree with John and say i will end up hating the country and the people, thought i don't want to...

At this point, i am struggling to love them ... but it is a bit impossible... I need a break away from this place, away from Cairo, Maadi, expats ....

What i could do is to put on some nice music hoping that will calm me down and praying for peace to rule in my heart.
