Coffee, Dinner and Drinks.

Today i have 2 dates..which i must attend to.

Afternoon coffee date with a dude i met 3 weeks ago. He works out of town and is around for a few days..then dinner, with an older man. Had dinner last wednesday with the same man, an old school gentleman who takes you out for an actual dinner in a nice restaurant and drinks afterwards and does not expect you to put out. Most of the younger men i have been out with think that buying you coffee or drinks equals a roll in the hay..and have no idea that asking a girl out after 7pm means dinner. I've had a few ask me whether am hungry..ofcourse am hungry; I just left the office, battled the evening traffic to meet you and now you're asking whether am hungry? No, my office serves lunch and dinner, you oaf. Not.

Am sold on dating older guys. They are more attentive, talk about things other than themselves, dont expect me to put out on a timeline, actually listen when i talk, have many interesting experiences to share and they feed you. Whats not to like?

And then there was love.

I have fallen in love. Yes, I have. And the best thing about it was that there was no dilly dallying (?), no second guesses, no hesitations. I just knew. How, you may ask. Well, read the prior sentences. Yeap. It was thunderbolt. It was magic. It was smoke in my eyes. But what really clinched the deal was the sudden urge to reproduce with the said person. I have never been a broody sort of girl. I was always the one among family and friends who was thought of as most likely to remain single and child-free. I have entertained the thought of baggage-free lifestyle right into my old age for the longest time. So when i suddenly realised that i could see my unborn children in his eyes, it could only be love. love. love. So, at the risk of nauseating everyone, I must sing a few praises of the object of my love and lust. A kind heart, love of family, loves his mum and sisters, is a bit of a feminist. And can cook,REALLY cook. Is easy on the eyes. He also totally gets that i have lupus. Its no...

sleep, where thou art?

My little girl as been unwell for the past 3 weeks. It started with a cold which we sort of hoped would heal on its own without any medical or doctor intervention. That was not to be. We rubbed vicks on her back, chest and even on her feet in a bid to ease the cold and it did ease for a short time, then it came back a week ago. In the meantime, i contracted the cold (or so i thought) it came with chills, aching joints and muscles, chest pain and a really, really sore throat. Two fridays ago, late in the evening, i ended up in the ER with the doctor diagnosing strep throat. Now, anyone who's ever had a strep throat can tell you its no walk in the park. Its like a hyper cold. There was no endless runny nose, simply a throat that is on fire coupled with serious malaise. Talking, eating and basically any other activity that involves the mouth (or any other body part, for that matter) is out of question. For someone with lupus, any simple infection sends your body into a frenzy, so i ...

Moving Sucks.

After a protracted and ardous search for new office space that has enough space and doesnt cost the earth, the universe obliged. The initial joy of finding a space has been quickly replaced by the terror of moving. Anyone who has moved, any size of house or office know one thing without a doubt:Moving sucks! Moving sucks energy, moving sucks time, moving sucks money. It would be a fair assessment to say that moving sucks living out of life. I am also quite sure that my planned weekend trip to the Maasai Mara will be sucked as well..Think about it for a moment: Am in khaki pants, black sleeveless top with a hermes scarf stylishly tied to my hat - No one said you have to dress down in the bush - sitting in a lounge chair at my (our? who knows a girl can get lucky)tent's balcony, a dry martini in hand, reading my latest book, watching the animals along the mara river as a beautiful african sun sets in the horizon..Then picture the most likely scenario this weekend..wearing overalls,...
