This Past Week

I am making progress on my goals though not as much as i want but i want to celebrate my baby steps...

I have started to do my first assignment on the creative writing course i registered for since last year Ocotber and i hope to submit it very soon

Also now, i am finally settling sown to writing a book and i want it published before the end of the year, God helping me, so i have to make sure it is finished before the end of the year.

On the family side, my weekend was quite interesting. I had loads of fun, i even took some pictures for the first time this year with my husband, sister inlaw, her husband and son, this was on saturday, then we went out to an expensive restaurant to eat and have some ice cream. I was a bit reluctant to part with that mugh cash but my husband promptly reminded me that two years ago when i didn't have this much, i ate there, and life is meant to be enjoyed, so i mellowed! (Don't mind me, i am an ijebu (miser)). i actually really enjoyed myself that night...then i did some other things that i'm not going to share

Well, when people were going to church on Sunday, i got up to go to work for the first time in 8 days, i honestly haven't been finding it easy at work! Been under s much pressure and having to do a lo of talking, we have a lot of changes going on in the telecoms company where i work, new tariffs and a lot of other stuff taht are not working. Customers are finding it hard to grasp the whole thing...

Anyway, i think i am ready to move on to another challenge right now, i have aced my present job, i need to reach to higher heights. Maybe my writing will afford me the opportunity i need to scale other challenges, i am wondering.

....Most importantly,i am releasing myself to God and asking for His will in my life, he is the great sherperd who leads me.

Got a full Wardrobe!

Sometimes, to get what we want in life just needs a little bit of patience...I have been trying for months to change my wardrobe or at least spice it up and i keep putting it off, sometimes because more urgent things come up. My husband promised he was going to change my whole wardrobe and i almost forgot about this, I keep saying i'll do it next month and the next and the next...

Well, earlier on i mentioned he went to SA (he was there on training and had two days to shop), he actually came back with a bag full of clothes for me!!!!!! They were all so like the kind of things i wanted, might not need to shop for clothes again this year (lol). So now i got what i want without sweating though i was only supposed to get a few things from this trip, so now he has made me a babe!..). I'm so grateful, what he did was more thank thoughful, he hardly even shoped for himself.

Update

Here's an update on my life in the past few months....

In December i got married to my wonderful husband, it's almost four months already, how time flies....! Same December, my mother in law died just shortly after our wedding, same december, we buried this wonderful woman

January i went back to work and honestly things have changed for me since then, it's as if i want more out of life everyday and i want bigger challenges and greater goals!

Well this is March almost the end of it and i decided to get back to blogging but my life in the past week has been boring just full of sickness woes but i'm so glad to be alive and i thank God for my wonderful family(my sister in law and her husband) who took care of me while i was ill.. haven't been to work for almost a week now but i promise myself that once i am very well, i will write more..i promise! And thanks to my darling friend Detola who has been on my neck to update my blog.

My husband has just gone to abuja for work (he got back from SA on sunday night) and i decided to spend a few minutes doing this after walking him to the road at least to tka emy mind off the fact that he's gone for the week....

How did i get ill? Very funny, i was feeling tired and went to the hospital where i was tested for malatia parasite which came out positive ( i also did HIV screening same day and thankfully that was negative, the doctors wondered why i wasn't apprehensive). Well, the doc gave me malaria drugs - fansidar and artesunate and three days rest which i planned not to use, i was going to make work whatever the doc said...

By evening of that day i had fallen completely ill and had to be taken to another hospital since mine was too far, i was admitteed and given drips (this was the second time in my lifetime) since i wasn't able to take down any food....i felt very sick..!

Anyway thankfully i am ok now but not strong enough to go to work yet, to everyone who has called or taken time to visit or call me so far i'm very grateful, to all who thought i was pregnant, thanks for the good wishes (children are God's blessing), though i am still preparing my mind for that stage in my life...

I'm thankful to be a wife for now and will like to adapt to that phase of my life first...life is in phases! There's no reason to rush!

Ok i think i am gonna go ahead and do something else now but it's been nice pouring out even if in no sequence...
