I Feel Like Crying Because…- Sun 29th June 10.40pm

1. There is no power, I am writing this by the light of the labtop
2. Not just is there no power, but the generator is on the blink. It turns itself off after 30minutes
3. It is hot. The windows are open but I am still sweating
4. My pet mosquitos are gearing up
5. I feel like I am in Apocalypse Now
6. I was working all weekend. When I wasn’t working, I was thinking about work
7. Its Sunday night, and I thought I would spend it reading up on more work but I can’t cos of no light
8. I am lonely
9. My family is missing me. My 7 yr old daughter is now at the point of crying for her daddy
10. My family is flying out in 3 weeks and there is no generator, cooker or airconditioning in the new house
11. I wanted to live a nice easy life in Abuja not Lagos and I didn’t want to work for a bank because they want your soul, but I’m now working in Lagos with a bank that wants to eat me for dinner

To console myself and stop myself from crying I shall repeat the following to myself
1. God is in control
2. No condition is permanent (as found on the back of tipper trucks)
3. It shall be well
4. The massive kids road block party going on since afternoon till now in a massive house up the road with massive bouncy castles and Lekki yummie mummies in attendance and all kinds of exotic cars parked on both sides of the road is the kind of party I shall be going to with my kids and missus once I have settled in (I hope)

Dude,

Hang in there....just take it one step at a time. I'm not a banker but I know how it feels to have the powers that be wat to eat you for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

On the house front, take the most important things first, break them down into mini projects and tackle them one by one...

just hang in there
