10 minutes

Being "home" can best be described as a bitter-sweet experience at best!!!
Its so good to see all the familiar smiling faces and receive all the warm hugs from genuine friends and family, however, the most simple or should I say basic tasks are major chores! Imagine a 10 minute drive taking 3 hours, why!!!! It is almost impossible to do more than one thing a day. You wake up in the morning and say "today, I'm going to the bank" thats your assignment for the day O!! nothing else is feasible after you get through the mad traffic, get the poorest customer service and have a flat (tyre)..., all that is left is, go home....full stop. Well that sums up my day today!! I'm tired as hell and all I set out to do this morning was go to the bank!! lol!! I guess this is the stress we call Lagos!!!

AWAY FROM HOME

I have a friend who has always said that "home is wherever you are most comfortable." Its amazing that after moving to the States for barely 3 months, I already feel so much at home. Of course it hasn't all been easy peezy but I love the peace, and there's nothing like having your man in bed with you every single night!!! 

Unfortunately for me this luxury is on  hold for at least a month cuz I'm on my way to Naija O!!!
It seems crazy to me that I feel that I'm going to Naija as opposed to I'm going "home"!!! 
Well I guess thats life, We adapt to every situation we find ourselves in!!

Wish me a safe trip and if anything completely outrageous happens, you can be sure I'll be here to vent it off!!
