Ring ring... 6:30 am, my alarm clock rings. I still hang out in my double bed in Baldaquin before motivating myself to get up...
Finally, I'm there, I go to the shower just enough time to do a quick toilet and go down to do my daily walk before going to work.

I slowly go down the stairs of my duplex when, as soon as I arrived in my garden, I immediately joined by my two babies "Fifi" and Gipsy...
- How are you my loves?
- Wouf, wouf
you could hear their barking
These are my two dogs, Rottweilers that I brought back during my last stay in France.
With a slow step, I continue to walk along the garden while launching one: "Hello José"
- Hello Madam
This is Josephine whom I affectionately call José, my governess. Who, like every morning, brings me my bottle of water, prepares my dogs for walking.
A little further, a man becomes curious towards the pool...
- Ousmane, how are you? And business? I was questioning
- Yes Madam, it can be fine, "morning there" is cleaning the water basin, like "tomorrow is there is a week".
- Ok, I'm counting on you to do a good job. Can you open the portal to me please?
Ousmane is a domestic worker who takes care of outdoor maintenance. He is illiterate, so he has difficulty expressing himself correctly.
A bun rolled up on the fly, my pair of Prada glasses, shorts and a Nike T-shirt, a pink black lace bsket pastry on my foot, I trot in the streets of 2 trays, a chic area of Abidjan that I love and where I have always dreamed of living.
Dream that will eventually become a reality. Indeed, my layout was the result of a well-organized surprise by Mohamed Zainoun. He is a wealthy Lebanese entrepreneur. He gave me this gift on the date of celebration of our 5 months of relationships.
After my 30 minutes walk, back home.
José took the time to run my bath in my absence. So I relax inside while consulting my phone. Barely 8:00 am and already 5 calls in absences!!
2 calls from Mohamed that I affectionately named Momo in my mobile phone; 2 others from Caroline my best friend and one last from my Mother,
"The old".
In Ivorian jargon, this name is often used to designate an elderly person or a parent
.
- Oh, what does she still want from me this one!! Today is Friday, that she is not counting on me to go and pay her money in this ghetto in Adjamé... Tchips, I exclaimed.
"Adjamé" a suburb of Abidjan where I spent my entire childhood. A place that I hastened to leave by the age of majority because I did not feel comfortable there.
