Dear diary, Last Friday I woke by the nightmare, a nightmare that actually happened for real. I didn’t even want to wish that this week would have to be great. It’s because I trust my self too much, and I thought I know. I’m sorry I forgot about you Deitys my gods and goddesses, I’m sorry that I loved my wife so much, but then I forgot about you. Diary... I guess he gave me the best life anyone could possibly have. I know I should think that I deserve this, I can’t take care of my wife alone, what happens when there’s another person I need to take care of. My own child is going to suffer, my family would not be a faithful one. But why did he have to give me such a sudden time to think, is it just me?


Today I went to my workshop and made a small building of my wife when she just got 7 months of pregnancy. I bathed near the Nile, admiring my building carves, her long linen clothes fitted beautifully. Until the afternoon, a guard came looking for me. The guard said he was messenger sent by king Khufu, the king wanted me to make him a small dimensional idol of himself. “You a new worker?” I asked. The messenger said ‘‘Umm... Yes sir.” then added “Here are pieces of pure gold the king wanted you to use.’’ I laughed, and I showed him my building, ‘‘You see this? Sorry what’s your name?’’ He seemed confused and said ‘‘My name , I’m sorry, I’m only here to tell you what I need to say. I will come back here the day after tommorow, good afternoon sir.’’ Aapehty left, then I put my clothes back on. I thought of going to get some food, walking around many small food shops were closing. Suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder, I was so shocked! I was daydreaming for so long today. It was my buddy Djao, he said sorry about our lost, we talked for quite a while. He said his son is starting to become an painter, his whole family is fantastic hieroglyphs painters, it seems like he could call his family an art dynasty in the future. Djao’s family is actually how I and Ammenenshi wanted ours to be. Then Djao asks to go buy some bread for his family in the market before it closes. I also went buy some bread for I have absolutely nothing to eat at house. We drooled over the foods in the market, but we decided to eat our favorite dried fish small food-shop beside the Nile. I haven’t ate since the day before, it was really delicious. Even the cook giggled “How many years have you not eaten boy?’’ he said. My buddy laughed and added that I just been trough a hard time. After some delicious dinner. Oh my, I was so full I felt like throwing up. Djao decided he wanted to walkme home, and we chatted on the way there. When we arrived, we were just shocked, my house was so filthy. Not only the dirt and little spider net strings, but the mud bricks are falling apart. Djao help to clean up a bit, and I told him to go home before it’s darker. I said goodbye and he left, it was really lonely without Ammenenshi around anymore, I went up the roof. I look at the stars and just enjoy the night breeze. I slept through the night up on the roof, that day I didn’t have any nightmares. I thank Djao who really made my day, I felt much calmer, and I know I have someone to depend on. On Sunday, I remembered that the Messenger from king is going to come again and take me to the King’s place to work his idol there. I dressed up casually as I always did. I wore one of my favorite white tunic t-shirt I bought with my wife. And I wore my leather sandals to show respect and be politer. When I just arrived to my workshop, Aapehty was already there waiting for me. He told me to get ready with the materials, I told him to relax and being proud said I’ve been working with him for a long time. I got ready and we headed to the boat waiting in the Nile. Suddenly the rain falls, and soon after that inundation appeared just about meters from my workshop. We ran and ran, heading to the boat. My slippery sandals made me slipped and I almost fell into the river water.



On April 16th I woke up early and took a walk by the Nile river just before I was going to look at that temple drawing that I did for the Pharaoh Isis. When I got to my shop I sat done at my new table and chair and started to look at what I have drew last week. Today is actually a day that I'm not suppose to work on. I had looked at it for a while and i fixed some of the details and then i got up and walked out of the shop and did whatever I wanted for the rest of the day. When I came to the market I stood there for a while and thought about what I should do today. I thought first I might go to one of the temples that held Dramatizations in it. Then I should take my son and take him out to do some fishing, in the river. After that I have to go and be with my friends and have some fun with them too. Then I said to my self that I was going to think about what I was going to do after all of those things. I went to the temple Deir al-Hagar temple and there was all sort of different people. There was a lot of dramatizations and there were incredible! I stat there about for one hour and I was entertained because they were so amazing. Then after 25 minutes I meat my friend and he came to watch them too. We sat there and talked about a lot of random stuff. After there performers every one left and all of them were talking about it. Then I said goodbye to my friend and walked home. I called after my son which was playing a game with his friends. When he came I told him that we were going out to fish and got very glad about it. We got on our boat and then we sailed out to the ocean. We were gone for a while and came back for about 2:30pm. I caout five fishes and my son caut four fishes. We got on land and he ran off to show his mommy what he had caut. I felt good when he was so happy and full of energy. Then he ran to me and gave me a hug and said thank you then he ran off to his friends again and play there game. I saw my friends inside a restaurant and I walked to them and sat down with them. We sat there and talked for a long time about for two hours. I had something to eat and drink while I was there. We talked about what we are doing on are job right now and then it came to me, I said I was drawing a temple that the Pharaoh Isis wanted to build and its going to be big.
