..What went down.

...Dont even know where to start from cos havent blogged in a while. o.k so let me just give highlights.
Now Friday was something else, was as if everyone who knew me or had something to do with me, chose dat day to call me or drop by the office. To say the day was C.R.A.Z.Y, is an understatement. From answering unending phone calls to attending to the 1001 client requests and having to send mails, whilst coughing and sneezing and sneezing all at once. in between, still found time to buy stuff from two different people (friends of mine) who'd brought clothes and shoes for sale. Can u imagine and urs truly found the time to still buy stuff in the midst of all the madness. (got to watch my spending cos hell my salary doesnt take me home and i've got a zillion and one bills to pay and need i mention i'm paying for a house as well). Didnt know how i survived it all and how i even got home that nite. All i know was i hit the snooze button and was off. Dozed the two hours it takes me to get home and was only woken up when i got to my bustop. when i hit the bed.... the rest, as they say, is history.

Saturday?! hmmm! woke up at noon with this blinding headache one gets from overindulgence in sleep (God knows i needed the rest). thankfully, i didnt need to think of having to fix breakfast cos that was waiting for me (thanx to a mum who knows how to care for her kids). When she eventually goes back, i'll resume my normal "spinster' lifestyle of just eating wat i can find in the fridge or making indomie. 'Got a brother who all he knows best is gobble up everything he sees with no thot to the next person (hey sometimes he tries sha, but only sometimes).
Good day, at least i rested except for the feverish condition.

Sunday..... Church and afterwards hurried home cos 'K' was coming to meet my mum. boy, from after church closed, visitor after visitor trooped in to see mummy after such a while of not seeing her. Had to play the perfect hostess while all the while i was thinking of the kind of reception' K' was going to get. Now over the years my mum's attitude to my boyfriends has been anything but encouraging. Her hostility to my male friends has cost me many a relationship and good friendships. so u can understand my anxiety at her meeting with someone i plan on marrying.
Had to involve Baba God here and ask that all wud go well, make she release me make i marry. (i don tire to dey pay house rent now)!
Finally, the ice was broken! Talk about a man's gift making way for him! He loaded gifts with him when coming and had on then most charming smile i had ever seen. (there is something about K's boyish, cute, ''youngish' & innocent looks that wud make u want to do anything for him).
He broke thru her and regaled her with tales of his country and everything under the sun they talked about.
Boy, was i in heaven!! didnt believe when afterhe left she kept asking that i call to find out if he was home alrite.( she was hooked on him already) !

Monday... Independence day! never had i ever felt so proud to be a citizen of this great nation. Was up early, had my bath and was out to be a part fo something that wud affect this nation. My church was distributing free copies of our daily devotional, over 2 million copies. We sang the national anthem, prayed for the country and here's the fun part... we were all dressed in the national colours green white green, had our faces painted the same and even down to the makeup, mascara and all...now how patriotic can u get?!
Had fun with the band giving it a carnival-like touch, us strutting , dancing down the streets and doling out these materials. Felt gud to be part of God's family doing all that stuff and i felt pretty sure God was smiling down at us all and enjoying Himself.
Tuesday.... was late to work cos didnt remember to put my alarm back on (the holiday was bliss, had to sleep without the annoying ring of alarm that woke you to go slave for another man)! And naturally, i ran into traffic and got to work late. thankfully, i wasnt the only guilty one; most of my colleagues turned in late.
Today?! woke up with this embarassing fever rash on my upper lip which i tried very hard to conceal with make up but at the end, i thot to myself, what the heck, it wont kill if anyone saw it, so i maintained.
Nothing interesting happened today (hence the "highlights").
so, there u have it, a lowdown on what went down. Peace!!
