The Fire Has Been Ceased.
Let’s start with how relieved I am that a ceasefire took place because I would have been sooo bothered if yesterday was my last day on earth.
It was a horrible day on all aspects! When I woke up yesterday and wrote the “I hope you find love” article, I knew that packers are coming to pick up the sofa and few other stuff…I didn’t know that within a span of 6 hours my entire home will be empty minus few things!
And because everything happened so quick! I ended up with all of my items on the floor, my shoes my clothes my books everything! The house currently is a minefield.
And selling things on Dubizzle and FB marketplace has been Hell! Like proper hell! Which made me make the decision that i’d rather give away those things for free for my friends/family over selling them for that cheap, and thats what happened.
I just sold the bed and dining..etc for a total of 1,000 aed…yup’ you have no idea how many people are panic selling their brand new items that its close to impossible to sell for a decent price, thats why i decided I’ll give them away instead as I love my things so much and I spent on them my hard earned money, not to go give it to a stranger for 200 dirhams.
So! I’ve arranged to split almost 75% of everything I own between my sister’s new home (the guest room will look like a miniature version of my home haha) and between my friend who her furniture does need a change, and because I don’t have kids and my furniture was light colors, I used to not allow anyone to eat, stain or do anything irratic (but i did 😂) as the supreme leader of my home, i do whatever i want, but others no.
So literally my furniture looks brand new! To the extent when the lady that came to buy the house, she was sooo impressed that she decided to buy it on spot because of how well maintained it was! A well deserved pat on my back 🙏
So yeah I’m not feeling sad or any guilt because it went to people i love as a gift and not wasted, as for the bed….i barely slept on that bed. Literally maybe 20 times since it was bought 2 years ago, not exaggerating.
Even though i made it soo comfy like hotel level, but i always preferred sleeping on my sofa instead 🤷🏽♀️ donno maybe because bed makes me feel lonely. So yeah it was literally braaaand new! And sold for 500 total :( sigh!
Anyways enough furniture talk, so what happened is in a matter of hours movers and packers invaded my place and I’m left with a mess and only this chaise lounge that is also brand new which I’ll be sleeping on it for the next few days till I finish the other stuff and travel.
Also i unconvered how much Justlife were doing half assed job! You do not want to see the state of the floor behind my sofa and under my bed 😭 its a health hazard lets leave it at that.
Add to the above, i fell sick! And i rarely get sick but the universe decided yesterday was the perfect timing, so i have my nose dripping the entire day and then when I went down in the evening it was the remaining of a sand storm so some sand entered my eyes and were itchy for the rest of the evening.
Also! You can congratulate me on managing to cut my Du connection, which if anyone tried before you know how its impossible! They literally make it impossible! But i got it done in a record 45 minute on a phone call with them.
I’ve lived a life time yesterday literally, and then decided to do the sensible thing because i dont trust no govs and went to the atm to take out my money, first atm doesnt work :)
Second atm doesnt work too :)
Third atm which was there for years, i drove to it and its gone.
For a minute I panicked because I’m a conspiracy theorist, but then went to a fourth location and it worked lol! Thank god!
Then went to my sister the “la la land family” bro in law panicking thinking that trump deadline is 8 pm ( Dubai time) and his running around! And i’m like bro! Thats eastern time….its 4 am here -_-. And my sister clueless ya alla now that i’m replaying yesterday its actually hilarious!
My sister is a true testament to what living in the state of:
Ignorance is a bliss
Is like!
And to be honest I envy her for that! But at the same time it adds pressure to my life because I feel even more responsible for their survival! And i didn’t sign up for this role!
Anyways gave them the brief, take cash, fill up the fuel tanks, prep the bag of passports and necessities….etc.
No no let me shock you, i literally gasped! If you follow along my stories you’d know that a month ago i bought them the nuclear survival stuff and gave it all in a box, and the only thing they needed to do was just leave that box in the room that they will shelter in.
Yesterday, I hear my sister calling her maid asking:
Where did you put the medicine?
Where did you put the masks?
And my jaw dropped! Sis actually put each in its own place, like yeah the KI pills need to be in the medicine cabinet, the masks in I don’t know which drawers, the battery light in the storage….lord have mercy on us.
I haven’t met anyone like my family honestly….my family is why I believe in the existence of god, because there is surely something protecting their humans from causing their own demise.
Anyways i stayed there only half an hour and then felt like I can’t i need to go back home to monitor the situation, obvs sis was nagging for me to sleep over, and let me tell you, with no exaggeration,
I think id rather be nuked actually 🤣 the above is just half an hour! Can you imagine needing to stay there locked in for days? Yeah we would kill each other surely.
I said no no…my house, my kingdom! She said what kingdom you idiot you don’t even have furniture anymore haha…valid! But still I bounced.
Then i reach home, and btw I said in a previous article my final meal would be Albaik! But i felt soo put off chicken in the last few days, that i keep on ordering chicken and not even eating more than a bite then it all goes to waste, i have those vegetarianism phases that get triggered randomly, so! Guess what i craved!
Watermelon feta salad
And it was sooooooo gooooood!!! Anyways i tried to stay awake but then by 11 pm it became impossible and you know it reached impossible levels when my phone falls on my nose and cause me life altering pain. So i went to sleep and set an alarm for 2 am, 2 hours before the deadline just to wake up and see what they decided on, as alooot of analysts online were saying its just market manipulation TACO Tuesday as they call it, while others they guarantee we are getting nuked, so i just needed to wake up and see what they decided on.
But do I sleep peacefully? Ofcourse not! A damned mosquito bites me not once, not twice i literally woke up pre alarm, with all of my arms filled of mosquito bites, over 15 bites! Like how much blood does that lil bitch need!
Horror! Whenever this happens it reminds me of Bali, they used to eat me alive the mosquitos there 24/7 wherever I go….so yeah I woke up so angry, and then what happens :)
I go to check the news, nothing loads! My virgin mobile data decided to run out, and even though my package resets on the 8th and it was already the 8th but nope! (Mind you I cancelled my wifi in the morning)
And if you have virgin connection you know that they are an absolute pain in the ass to try and recharge when you have no data, it took me over half an hour of attempts while i’m half asleep and yet cant sleep as i need to know what went on the world and i have no whatsapp working nothing!
Anyways eventually it managed to topup and I got access and saw that they are discussing a two weeks ceasefire but nothing confirmed.
So i went back to sleep and woke up actually way later than normal, 6ish but because i didnt sleep did i? It was hell on all aspects.
Woke up and saw messages from dad saying ceasefire for 2 weeks confirmed.
And the relief that i felt! I can’t even tell you! Not because of anything’ but because i refuse my last day on earth to be as disgusting as yesterday.
It was hell! And I’m glad its over but today and even tomorrow will be just as hectic but at least now i can pack my things in peace.
But let me tell you something, i don’t trust them :) israel never commits to a ceasefire they’ll do some stupid shit and it will escalate again.
So! I will not wait till 18th when actually my flight is booked.
I will leave waaaaay sooner.
Next time i write here, I would have already left.
Until then, got so much shit to dooooooooo.
So i’mma peace out!✌🏽
