Hello beautiful people!!… Hope you guys enjoyed the Christmas break. It’s been a looong ass weekend and I never thought I would be the one to say that I cannot wait to get back to work. Or maybe not necessarily work work… maybe just the office. Anything to get out of the house. I went to church this morning and everyone kept asking where I’ve been, from the pastor to my group leader to the security men. I miss just one Sunday service and Christmas morning service and it’s like I was the one who turned Mary and Joe back…

Good morning beautiful people!!! I’m at work and I miss home. I had such a wonderful weekend… I didn’t want it to end. I stayed home from Friday evening when I got back from work, till Monday morning. I didn’t even go to church yesterday. The only time I left the house was Saturday evening and that was to buy a truck load of paw-paw and oranges just down my street. No trips to the market, no cooking, no church work… just some laundry, a bit of housework and lots of sleeping and Tv watching. It was some much needed…

My country people!! It’s only Wednesday and I’m exhausted… About two weeks ago, I made up my mind to be more independent in my transportation life.

My country people…                  How una dey? I’m ok. I’m back at work now. Not surprising, my two short weeks of annual leave flew by. I spent my days faffing around the house naked, eating popcorn and drinking Snapp. I can count the number of times on one hand that I had a proper bath. I saw a couple of movies and visited one friend, but nothing special happened the entire time. I’m happy I rested though.             I finally resumed at work and for the first three or four days back, I struggled to settle in. I was like…

My country people!! Good morning. How are you guys doing? For two nights in a row, I had nightmares… some Freddy Kruger type shit 🙁 The first night, I actually woke up in tears and fear did not allow me go back to sleep. I called my friend and told him about it and he kept assuring me that everything would be fine. It was 12:45am and my call had woken him up. I could tell he was tired, but he stayed on the phone for a while and even prayed with me. After that, I got my bible, brushed off…
