life is hard, sometimes

Sometimes life is hard, especially for animals

I waited for Alice today because we both needed to be at Legacy Schools this morning. As we walked out of her field we say a lamb laying in the ditch just off of the road. Well the poor little thing got hit by a car or truck and couldn’t walk. To make matters worse it was dying and there was nothing we could do for the poor little thing.  Alice called to her tenants and one of the men came out with a machette. We walked away then, so I don’t know exactly what happened. I can only guess.  Anyway Alice said that we needed to do something because the dogs would come and finish off the lamb and then leave the carcass to rot right there on the side of the road. So that was a great way to start my day. yippee

Well last night Alice and Edna asked me to check my money in my room, so I did. What I found was 1000 ksh missing. Without even being told I had a really good idea who took it, and I’m not happy about it.  OK to begin with I understand that 1000 shillings isn’t all that much money in American dollars. In reality I don’t really care about the 1000. But what really bugs me, oh shoot it just pisses me off, ok? But what bugs me is that the person whom I believe took the money professes to be my friend. I know he took it because Edna saw him go down the hall and then she heard my door shut.  So I know who it is. BUT get this, he had the gall to ask me yesterday if he could “borrow” some money because he wants to go see his girlfriend outside of Nairobi. Did I believe him, NO! Was I initially going to lend him the cash, honestly I was thinking on it. NOW, well I’m going to have to put the fear of God into him. AND NO, I’m not going to hit him, although it is a good idea. LOL.  What I’m going to do is tell him I’m going to seek God’s answer on who stole my money, and then we will see what happens. Somehow I knew I couldn’t trust the guy, don’t know why but it was my gut telling me not to trust him. (Thanks Gibbs)
