Today!

How things can turn sour in an instant!


Today, I thought was going to be a great day, Hmm! Let’s go back a few. I have been working at an internet cafe, been on this weight loss journey for a year and some and been having the same blackberry for the past two years, kinda turned my back on God and I am trying to play catch up. Okay, now that we have all that established. Today I thought was going to be a great day, I started back exercising about a month and a half ago because from 187 pounds, I went down to like 147 and went back up to 158 pounds, that’s not back you say? well for the girl who has been having self esteem issues for the better part of her life, this is bad. SO i made the decision to get back serious. Anywhoo, today was my rest day and here comes my dad sending me on errands. So instead of resting, I went to town, did his thing, bought a few items for me. Side Note: In about 12 days will be my birthday. I was told I was the “sexiest” girl in my community, highly doubt it blah blah blah. Any ways, that made me smile. I did what I had to do in town, came home, ate and went to work. It was going well, I helped some children with their work and you get that sense of accomplishment when you help people, well at least I do. While packing up to leave, a heavy shower of rain starts falling, placed the print out for my father in my bag, my water, my phone and the rest of my things. All of a sudden I notice the chair wet. Yes! the bottle of water was not closed properly, gushed water into my bag, messed up all the printouts for my dad and while trying to salvage the rest of my things, I completely forgot about my phone. I love my BB. It was my most expensive present to myself, I saved like seven months just to purchase it, so it has sentimental value. and it is my connection to the outside world, I don’t go out much nor do I have a lot of friends, so this was a comfort of sorts. By the time I remembered my phone, the damage was already done, complete white screen. Heavy rain, no phone = stranded and that I was, until I decided to open my tiny umbrella and walked in the rain all the way home. You know the devil is a liar. I still had a good day despite of what happened, Maybe God is going to bless me with a new phone! Who knows? I am trying to be optimistic about this, even if it sucks,


P.S I ruined my diet today, I ate 3 pieces of bakes, 1 slice of white bread with salt fish souse, grounded corn and sugar, 2 pkts of cheese snacks. I am an emotional eater but I am determined to be better!
