I'm back from seeing a friend and was all but chased out of her house at the end of the day after coming late (12:40 pm as opposed to our agreed time of 10:00 am) - my timing was off; I managed to stay for 4 hours plus, which was spent watching movies: Green Mile & 44 minutes - (she did tell me that she was expecting someone by 4:00 pm; on further reflection methinks that was the gentle "hint" I was too dumb to take and now I feel like shit!*#)
I was partially escorted to the gate and told goodbye...
The lesson: Boot yourself out before you are booted out...
I spent the return journey thinking... Did I make a mistake? Should I have kept my butt in my house an just played "Marooned on a Island"?
I am only beginning to learn that certain things in life are a constant. We keep and are kept in return on a scale of preference... Some people rate higher than you or you rate higher than others - the bottom line is you are either higher, lower or simply at par with the next fellow...
On to other matters...
I have become blessed with finance finally - I was given "aid for transportation"; as described by the doctor whom I did some work for yesterday... The "aid" turned out to be very generous indeed... (I am not quite "smiling all the way to the bank" but the distance is close enough and for me that is adequate for now...)
I suddenly feel somewhat better but I still plan to be careful in future...
My date of departure looms ahead, I should be back in Lagos (worst case scenario: 1st week of September...)
Will soon write more when I get my next wave of inspiration....
(I am planning to open another Blog site - I don't know what to base this one on but an idea should pop up pretty soon...)
Later folks - your intangible mist
