Lisa our third musketeer left us today to go back to PA!! PAP is not the same without her, we already miss her!!! The hospital in Passe Catabois is open, and Annemarie arrived in Passe Catabois this past week. So we have decided to head north on Tuesday March 9th! We have spent a month in PAP and are ready to head back to our real home in Haiti!! Excited to see everyone we know, and get settled back into our routine in northern Haiti. Not gonna lie I'm really excited to have my own toilet, adn shower, and bedroom! Though I love people and could talk pretty much 24/7 even I have reached the point of craving alone time and some privacy. Yesterday, a woman wanted to share a shower stall with me and that was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back! We take 3min showers! Could I have 3min to wash by MYSELF! I really don't think that is asking too much here! I've been here a month I need those 3min ALONE!! Plus that is just really weird, and sooooo unnecessary!!
But the truth is I think the devastation is really getting to me! Its frustrating and just really sad to be here! I know that I need a change of pace because I am not smiling thru the day's anymore! The last thing the Haitians need is a sad nurse! Its just that the hospitals and clinics are sooooo disorganized. And there are definitly some high maintenance volunteer groups who have started to get on my nerves! I've heard them complaining about the food etc when they are here for 6days and surrounded by people who have nothing!! Shut up people!!! My patience has grown thin!! Plus I just pass these houses that are flat as a pancake, and wonder what has happened to those families!! Why them, why that house? Even if they lived will they ever be the same?
On that note Passe Catabois here we come!!!
Thanks for all the notes of encouragment! I'm sorry my last blog was depressing! My blog is like a diary, and I do not filter it! But I am feeling better so nobody worry about me! Plus I have Ryna with me, and she kicks my butt when needed and cheers me up when I am sad!!
