OK, so i am trying to be tolerant, really i am, but today has pushed me to new limits and i am about to explode!!!!
A) It is nearly 100 degrees out today, and i love the weather, but ummmmmmmm...yea, cant all be perfect i guess
B) Our housekeeper has not showed up in 3 days, no idea if some how we fired her and didn't know it, as she speaks no English
C) What is that smell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, ya know, it is very important to watch where the housekeeper puts random trash bags because if say she were to not show up to clean, oh i don't know, 3 days in a row....and had possibly placed a bag with some food under the staircase to collect later it might smell kinda scary after a few days...just a thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D) As i do enjoy this 4 bedroom 4 bathroom 3 story house, i not so much enjoy washing the marble floors on my hands and knees...i would like a broom with an actual handle (which they don't sell around here) and would dig a mop, but not how things are done here so whoo hoo, there goes my back, my knees are covered in bruises and then comes the icing on the proverbial cake....
E) Dripping in sweat, thoroughly used up i decide to start a load of laundry (as the laundry guy has been missing in action for 2 weeks now) and figure that gives me just enough time to work out before i have to hang it on the line to dry...so i get the water running, turn on the AC in the "exercise" room and throw the clothes in the water....and BAM....the power goes out yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now the clothes are soaking in water, the exercise room is over 100 degrees, i am filthy, sweaty and really pissed off! And wouldn't you know it.....
F) Remember the little dilemma about the backup battery 3 days ago...well the electrician came over and "fixed" it, even though we said we didn't want it...and i just walked into the living room to find it flashing red lights, saying over load.....whoo hoo!!!!!!!! Does that mean it is going to self destruct momentarily, because i think i possibly might!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G) Counting to 10, taking a deep breath, looking at the liquor cabinet thinking hey, that might be an idea.....
H) Ryan will be home near midnight tonight...Brett is in town, and Scott is in Pune....still flashing overload......what do i do now???????
I) I love my husband, but i could possibly love him far better all the way from the USA right now, because i think he is going to come home to a frazzled, raving lunatic of a wife....running around the house in utter disarray speaking some foreign language (swearology) and gone completely mad!!!!!!!!!!! For his sake i should possibly send him a warning text so he can come home prepared......or maybe i will hit the liquor cabinet after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J) Knowing that i may read this in a day or so and find it giggle worthy, because the motto around here is...."IT"S INDIA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K) Felling much calmer now, its 4pm so i think i will skip working out and have myself that drink after all!!!!!
(on a much more serious not, if we ever find our housekeeper again i am going to suggest a pay raise for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I know you wrote this a while ago but a superb post! I have just joined my partner in Prague in the Czech Republic from New Zealand. Not quite India but so many things here are confusing and you know would be soooooooo easy to sort in your own country. So much so that we have re-named Prague "Funky Town." And that song has become our Prague theme tune. When he is miles away where ever his job has taken him I do wonder if it would all be easier to love him from NZ!! Look forward to reading more of your posts!
