Idle week looming...

 

I will be interested in audiobooks this period, please recommend some to me. Thank you. (Photo credit: Lindiwe)

Guess who is here today without any aid? Your guess is as good as mine but while I’m grateful for a successful procedure, I’m going to be wise enough not to strain the eyes.

I won’t talk about yesterday right now and it’s even a short post. It’s also not a gloomy post as all I have on my lips is thanksgiving as I have found favor before God. Here’s me marking register again today with a huge sense of gratitude because God is good and kind to me.

It’s been a crazy week as always and it’s only normal that my surgery of yesterday would be the highlight but like I said earlier, this post isn’t about that. I think I should make this about my new week and the fact that I’m not looking forward to being at home as situations warrant.

Close allies call me restless, while I like to differ, I guess I’m not the type that likes to stay in one place LOL and I have to find a way to cope during this healing process. I will not be able to see movies on Netflix as I need a few days to be able to stare at screens again but I’ll read books.

I’ll let it rest here but again, suggest books and I won’t mind audio versions. Happy weekend folks and I hope y’all enjoy every bit of it. Affliction will not rise ever again. Amen.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
