Laptop...Trotro drama...where's a good bus when you need one???

After one of the most aggravating trips in the WORLD to Cape Coast I have picked up my Lap Top to get to work and found MY SCREEN IS BROKEN AGHHHHHHHH!!!!! So what do I do? What can I do? I can’t go back in time and try harder to get on the bus I originally wanted to get on…which I couldn’t find because no one could understand me or wouldn’t listen to what I was actually saying. After going round in circles trying to get to a bus station to take a coach I finally ended up at a bus station and after waiting for 30 minutes what finally rolls up is a flipping Trotro (minibus) type vehicle, by that time I was so fed up I was like whatever.

After overcharging me (and everyone else) for the use of this uncomfortable vehicle they took a further sum for my bag…which when I was getting down and they opened the boot I saw my bag squashed under the back seat. That is what I am sure led to my Laptop casualty!

Another happy little challenge that I will breathe through, be upset today and then just carry on as there is nothing I can do about it now…is there, maybe I’ll wait until I visit London and get it fixed at PC World. After all I am typing this on it so I better keep using it as it is before matters get worse…sigh.

IT is annoying as I am trying to regain my equilibrium but it seems that the universe is transpiring to make me learn something from giving me more and more to deal with. I think I will go for a run in the morning and try and get some peace…pound out my irritations and frustrations.

Right now I want to cry and I can’t help wondering am I being punished for something, what I don’t know but something is making things a little more challenging than it needs to be. Then again maybe I am being dramatic, it has been a very good week and productive…I just have been feeling a little out of sorts I guess. But I suppose that is to be expected I am adjusting to my new…everything.
So chin up old gal…or some such encouraging stuff. I will sit here and occupy myself stroking my mosquito bites and focusing on finding my happy place!!!

  1. Vina, I'm sure you are not being punished for past sins. When things get like that for me over there I look at it as a mortification of the flesh. You will triumph over the challenges of 'ogya krom'.
