Mid-Week Malaria

Disclaimer: this post was thought up whilst stuck in jam, left to stare for long periods at smoking bonnets/hood.

Now moving on swiftly,Words, that should be in the dictionary:-
Customer Service; the tout who covered me as i folded my umbrella and made sure that the driver came as close as possible.
Bliss; me plus hot cup of Bournvita as i type this.
Funny; in hindsight, me at GPO, with a blown umbrella screaming a few unprintables.
Kung fu; the sight of me suspended below the hand drier.
Si heri you=dislike;; anybody still in bed at the time of going to press that includes you A.
Malaria; my boys define this as mood swings, tantrums etc. Used in the context where one minute your girl is fine the next she is sulking and no one can explain why.
Miracle; hoping to walk on water without getting wet.
Malice; when the rain starts at 6am to 9am and again at 4pm to 7pm.
Mockery;freezing cold under a billboard with a picture of hot tea being poured.
Not-So-Bright; anyone who insists on using an umbrella while walking under building and even worse wearing a sleeveless shirt then shivering, rubbing frantically to generate heat.
Revenge; me buying a family size umbrella.
Science; the exact positioning of the umbrella when its raining so that both my derrière and the twins are covered sufficiently.
Stoopid; any driver who splashes water at a pedestrian. You wait until i get my magic shoes(see below).

I told A, what i wish for and she thinks i just might be a few letters short of the alphabet.Allow me to explain,there used to be this story book called magic shoes. Now that is exactly what i want; magic shoes that when worn make me invisible. Can you imagine the things i could do if i was invisible *sighs*?Al i can say i would do my best to do good where good is relative, no guarantees.

Then its rainy and cold in Nairobi. Its so cold that i have reverted to sleeping in a sweater, socks and tracks, at least in the event of a fire am set. A while back, someone suggested that to create jobs how about starting an agency where you can hire someone to sleep next to you and keep you warm no strings attached. Am sure that would sell if only now i could guarantee that some customers wont ask for extras *smh, maybe a contract would do, Shiroh, any ideas?

With mingi love to W,what more can a girl ask for,thanks.

Easter blessings

what does the cross of Jesus mean?
it's more than songs we sing
much more than the emblem on your chain
but it means i am free
from the chains of slavery
and the blood he shed won't let my sins remain

upon the cross my savior died
the lamb was crucified
showed us love that this world has never known
oh what love divine
truer love you'll never find
o that we might live
love came and died alone

for the cross will always represent the love God has for me
when the Lord of glory heaven-sent gave all on calvary
(he did it) just for me, just for me
Jesus came and did it just for me

just for me, just for me
Jesus came and did it just for me
just for me, just for me
Jesus came and did it just for me
by Donnie Mcclurkin

God's blessings to you and yours this Easter and everyday.
