6 Days Till Umgidi
I'm sitting in the kitchen right now. I've finished making lunch for my brother, just waiting for the bread to finish baking. By the way, I bake about 2 loaves of bread a day, so by the end of this whole thing (on the day of the mgidi) I will definitely be a pro. My Mom just called and told me that she'll handle his supper. I am so happy I could cry; but I don't have enough energy, so I'll keep staring at the laptop blankly while my fingers move. I try not to complain a lot, but it's been really hard the past two weeks. No one told me that it's this much work. Plus, my Mom requested my 'energy' for this next week because it's going to get crazier than it already is. I'm so excited (someone really needs to look into inventing a sarcastic font).
My family and some friends know that I always look after my nails and hair, etc. Well, if they were to see the clouds on my fingers right now (chipped nail polish) they would be embarrassed for me. I use my hands so much I don't even know why I bother with the nail polish. It's hard though because I just bought a colour that I LOVE! I don't even want to talk about my hair. I have had the same hairstyle for the past 6 days. All I do is moisturise my hair, then plait it again. I don't care, it's going to look like this the whole of next week as well. If anyone has a problem (my Dad asked if this is my favourite hairstyle) then they can be busy with my head while I do everything else.
My sister's been gone, so I've been cooking 3 meals a day for the past 5 days. I have run out of ideas, and I know how my brother is. (He must not be crazy though.) So, I'm going to get one of my Mom's cookbooks and make something from there. My brain is fried, and if it were up to me, I'd bake everything- from the meat to the veggies. He can demand for stuff now, and all he has asked for is fruit. How cute, trying to be healthy while in the bush. So, I have to make sure that every meal is accompanied with fruit (I make him fruit salad every morning, because I love him :) )
I've neglected my blog so much, I was surprised to come back and find that I still have my followers :) I don't want to say, 'I'm going to change and I'm going to blog everyday' because I have no idea how hectic this week will be. [By the way, just had to run and fetch the charger because the battery's basically dead. I should have fetched my phone's one too. I'm not running again though. Well, today I'm going to give my phone an impromptu test. Let's see how long the battery will last :)]
My mind is everywhere.
Bread's done, let me take it out. Hope you're having a good day. If not, I pray it gets better.
Love x Light
