Our cook left for good on Tuesday. She asked for the day off and never came back. Maria said we may never find out exactly why she left, nor should we have expected any warning signs. People here get upset about something, never say anything and instead retreat until they are completely gone. I asked Maria if there was ever a chance for reconciliation and she said, "it depends if the karma has ended." Well, I think the karma has ended for Buddhamaya and us. It's hard to carry the knowledge that she has left upset and without really knowing the reasons why she was upset. On the other hand, we struggled to get her to do chores and other things around the house, so maybe a new cook will be better able to run the household. In the meantime, the school has been ordering some delicious take-out food in the evenings and we fend for ourselves in the morning. I just wish I knew how to make Dal!
Darn! I just wrote the most amazing post and lost it...aaaaggghhhhhhhh i hate technology!!!! the funny thing is that it was about patience and trusting etc. Mark started a new blog and now I can't log in as myself...it keeps going automatically to HIM! i'll try to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteWell, I figured it out. but now I have to start my day...going canvassing in NH and its in the 20's this morning! better get the hats and gloves out. Miss and love you chris!
ReplyDeleteWow--Buddhamaya left! I can't say that I miss her cooking one little bit. Maybe the new cook will be slightly less generous with the oil. It is hard to understand the sudden departure.
ReplyDeleteMiss you all but not the food.
