Not always greener

While I agree that it's nice having someone to prepare meals, clean, and launder for me, all is not as it may seem. Some things to consider:

1. I flush the toilet with a bucket.
2. I bathe everyday in cold water.
3. I am slowly being eaten alive by some unseen, unknown creature.
4. I have been sick as a dog for the past 4 days in an attempt to adjust to the major food change.
5. I fear the malaria medicine I am taking is giving me nightmares.

I am not looking for pity, by all means, just providing a reality check. Sometimes, there really is no place like home.
