My Glass is Full today ...
It's strange ..... how ...... year after year ...... flooding ...... and its inherent woes ...... always seem NEW to us ....... I mean ...... every year it happens ...... and every year we go into shock ...... and disbelief ....... and amazement ...... when really and truly ...... is de same shit ....... different year ..... we exclaim and gawk and complain and empathise and sympathise ...... and as my Inbox becomes flooded ....... with numerous pics ...... from yesterday's flooding ...... yes, ah get dem pics bout 10 times ahready! ....... I can't help but wonder ...... about the damage ....... to property ...... to cars ....... to roads ...... to people ..... but ....... again ...... altho the scenes are horrible ...... dey eh new ...... those pics could easily be saved and forwarded again next year ...... and I don't mean to sound ...... indifferent ...... its just that we all have problems ...... once you live in Trinidad or Tobago ..... you WILL at some point ....... have problems ..... of varying degrees and types ...... cuz while some gettin 'flood out' ...... someting I experienced as a child ...... but probably won't now ...... as I live on ah small hill ...... I STILL DOH HAVE NO WATER! ....... and tho the two situations cannot be compared ...... they are both very frustrating!!! ...... wit a kinda weird ironic twist too ...... cuz while some runnin from MORE WATER ...... some relishin de thought of MORE runnin WATER .....
- Saturday 23rd - No Water whole day (never came back)
- Sunday 24th - No Water whole day til 8:50 pm
- Monday 25th - No Water from around 8:00 pm
- Tuesday 26th - No Water whole day til 9:24 pm
- Wednesday 27th - No Water from some time in de night
- Thursday 28th - No Water whole day so far ..... it is now 6:19 pm
...... but ...... though I was super frustrated at first ...... at de water stories ...... I'm gradually boiling down tuh de realisation ...... that maybe this is my new reality ...... I'm also ...... thinking that ...... my cousin had brain surgery on Tuesday ..... due to suffering an aneurysm ..... and that maybe my water woes eh all dat of ah problem after all ...... so ...... once I got today's update (on cous) ..... which was very positive ..... WATER ....... put into context ..... and perspective ...... made my glass full today (wit juice not water 
) ...... maybe I'll just go buy an extra bucket!
There is always somebody who is "suffering" more than we are but that doesn't mean we should accept bad service or brown water. It is all these little things which add up to the big fiasco we call everyday life.
