Another Sleepless Night

I don't have any energy these days and every night is the same. I can't sleep, or when I finally fall asleep I repeatedly wake up and have bad dreams. Regularly I dream that someone tries to rape me, I don't know where this comes from. Also, I don't know what to do to sleep, and get back my energy. Do anyone have some advice for me? I've tried different things. I have prayed, read Quran etc. but nothing seems to work. I don't want to take sleeping pills though.

My boyfriend will come today. Originally he was going to come on Wednesday, but in the airport they needed a paper about his military status, which he didn't possess, because the people in the consulate said he didn't need it, and since he is in college (and also has papers from his college), he shouldn't need the papers about the military. It's obvious that he doesn't have military service now! But the people in the airport didn't accept that, and gave him an address in Cairo to fix the paper. If he was quick, he could still catch the plane. He spent around 400 Egyptian pounds (around $66) on taxi to get that paper, but when he arrived they said that they needed the dates for his exams, and without this paper from the college he couldn't make the military paper. Thus, my boyfriend was prevented from taking the plane and he went disappointed and sad back to the bus, that uses 5 hours from Cairo to Alexandria. (Don't ask me how, it's supposed to only use like 2 or 2,5 hours).

He called his mother, and she went to the college to obtain this paper. Fortunately she had a copy of his ID card, and the day after my boyfriend went to the military to legalise the paper. For this he brought a policeman and a soldier, to make sure he would indeed get this paper. He spent all the day to fix this, in Egypt everything takes a lot of time and everyone says "make this, do that" before you reach the goal and finally get the papers you need. He also went to renew his flight ticket, which he had to pay another 1650 LE ($275) for, something that was not really his fault. First the consulate should have mentioned it, and second they should have told him at the travel agency when he bought the ticket.

Well, after all of this trouble (it has really been a long process to obtain the visa and fix all the required papers), he is finally in the airport now waiting for his plane that will depart at 10 am (GMT + 2). His transfer is in Copenhagen, Denmark and I will first go to the doctor today, and then I will go to the airport in Oslo to meet him. I can't wait. I've counted the days and been looking forward to this. Finally he will meet my family and spend time with them. Finally he will see my country and how we live in Norway. Finally he will experience snow, negative degrees, skiing, moose and trolls. Finally. Alhamdullilah. I pray that nothing bad will occur on his flights from Cairo - Copenhagen - Oslo, that the planes are not delayed, that the securities go smooth and that nobody will make any problem about his papers or belongings in any of the airports. InshaAllah. And I pray for the same for everyone else who is traveling today, whether it be by plane, ferry, train, bus or something else.

Thanks for reading my posts. Today I wrote a bit abnormal post, but I try to vary my writings. Any suggestions on what you want, let me know.

Jazakallahu khairan.
