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...

I'm Thankful

It's been a while again...again it', been a while, this is because i don't have a computer of my own at home YET. I only get to this at work most of the time when i am doing the graveyard shift because i get to have some break and internet connection... I have had a very long night, between 8p.m and this time which is 7:21, i have only slept one and half hours, on a couch, i am not complaining though, i am actually thankful for everything...Ok i shall name the things i am thankful for one after the other ..I am thankful that i have the strength top work through the nightI am thankful that i am healthyI am thankful because i have found loveI am thankful for my family membersI am thankful that i have the greater one to rely onI am thankful that my life is in His handsI am thankful for people around meFor these and many more things i am thankful , so join me in saying THANK YOU to my father in heaven if you are reading this

My purpose

I have been thinking a lot lately, what am i going to do with my life other than going to work, waking up and going to work, does the cycle just continue like that? What exactly am i here to do? One major purpose that has come to mind and stayed is the fact that i am created for worship, you will notice i said some of that in my previous blog.But right now, my thoughts are what do i do with the talents God has given me? A, i going to die empty like Max Lucado puts it or will i take it all to the grave. God forbid! The world needs what i have. i have so many books inside to write, so many magazine articles to write and publish, so many to edit, i cannot afford to let it all go to waste. No i can't! A part of me just wants to drag along and take life as it comes but i have to be all God has made me to be. i have so many talents, i am scared.And i am so lazy sometimes or most...I need to wake upI have a book i have been writing for God knows how long but right now i have picked it up because it will neevr get written if i do nto write it, i am going to complete that book a page at a time, so help me God! I think i am going to also register for a course in Creative writing which will help me develop my skills...I believe i will get there, reach the height of my potential, so help me God!

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

Have you ever worked on night shift? It is hilarious! Especially when you do what i do, talking to best and dumbest brains in Nigeria, please permit my choice of words. What do i do you wonder? Have you ever called the customer care of any telecoms company? Ok, that lady who picks up your call and says her name and asks how she might help you is me...yeah ME and really i enjoy what i do...

It's just funny atimes but when you are staying up all night, talking to all the guys around with insomnia, it becomes "unfunny" atimes...some of them just want music, some want someone to chat with but amidst all these people is the genuine subscriber who needs my help and needs to me to be alert although my back aches and i feel like i need to sleep desperately. I need to be awake for these guys and put up my best behaviour because these guys are the KINGS...they pay my bills! Lol

It's the shift where you have 12 long hours to talk..two inbetween to snooze though, the first 2 days can be like heaven but the last day..man you just want it over!!!!!!!!! Because your body is crying for sleep! Yes good old sleep, who won't exchange sleep for a guy who calls at 3:30 a.m to say "i just called to say hello" or "please can i have your phone number"? Isn't it hilarious??? Do you agree with me?

Believe me, i'm not sure if what i am typing makes sense because i am dog tired..wait, is that a right word? And right now i just dozed off while talking to a subscriber, i just need to use my hand or is it my brain! Men i guess i'd better stop, i promise, some other day i will give you a full account of this GRAVEYARD SHIFT, the only thing is that my ears are not as quiet as a graveyard now!
