On my way to work!!

Hi I know it has been a while since my last blog. Well at lot has happened and I have so much to share. But for now I just want to tell you all about what happened to me today on my way to work. Ok so I wake up at 5:45 and I struggle to get out of bed as usual. I run a bath and open my fridge to entice myself with some breakfast options. I end up closing the fridge and smiling to myself. I don`t remember the last time I had breakfast at 6:00 am and I remember ooh I don`t eat breakfast it makes me slow. I want to pause here and say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So please try and eat breakfast.

Anyways I am running late as usual so I rush out of the house and into my car. I get into the car and spark it and brakes are not working properly. I sigh and think I hope I am able to drive it into town without any incidents. So I get in. I am kind of partially dressed and my kinky hair is flying all over the place.

The plan is that since it takes a whole hour to get to work and I need to leave early to get to work on time, I finish dressing up in my car. So I am driving and my car is behaving itself. I am very happy at this point because I think ok I will make it to work in one piece.
I start driving slowing because I am approaching a traffic jam. I actually don`t mind the traffic jam since I can fix my hair. I try combing out my hair and I look like an electrocuted prisoner. This is because my hair is very curly.

I then remember that yester night I saw Charlie Thereon on E!, with a very classic and striking up do. So I reach for my hair pin and then try to recreate the look in traffic.

I am not sure if I was successful or not I guess I will find out when I get to work. If someone goes like aaah what is going on with your hair then I know I failed to recreate the look.

So I am putting the final pin in my hair then I am interrupted by a street hawker trying to sell my tissues. I roll down my window and then think do I need a box of tissues. Well I think every woman needs a box of tissues. I remember the past couple of months I couldn`t live without my box of tissues because I had a horrible month. I lost something very special to me and it took me a while to get over it. I am not sure I am fully over it but I decided that I had to pick myself up and continue with my life since I am not getting any younger and life is too short to spend it crying every day.

Anyways I am in a good place in my life now but a girl always need a box of tissues cos you must always be prepared to clean up any mess.

So I buy the box of tissues and then continue to finish my up do. The final pin goes in and then I think well at least I got all my hair in one place.

So now the traffic starts to move and then I start to concentrate on driving again.
Well I meet another traffic jam I then stop my car and proceed to look around after all what is one to do.
I notice that a man in the car ahead calls a street hawker selling shaving sticks and then buys one. No this is nothing special but since we are in traffic and I have nothing else to do, I keep looking at the car. To my astonishment the guy starts shaving his beard right in the car. I rub my eyes to be sure I am seeing right. Well I certainly am. This is new shaving in traffic and I thought I was weird.

This reminds of me of the time I was parked opposite a monumental circle with a statue of a prominent statesman called JB Danquah. So I am parked opposite the circle and since the circle is in my line of sight I just sit there starting at the statue. I then see a figure rise from under the statue. I think well this must be a homeless man who decided to rest under the statue. I am thinking this is a really strange place to sleep.

The circle is in the center of town and there so many people and cars around. I assume the man must have been very tired to be able to sleep in such a public place. The circle has a lot of flowers so no one can tell that anyone is sleeping under the statue. Well the man seems to dusting himself no wait he is dressing up. Yes he is buttoning his shirt and pulling up his zipper. Ok now I sit up in my seat and pay more attention. Just as I suspected a few seconds later a young lady also gets up and she starts fixing her skirt.

Oh my goodness I can`t believe what I am seeing. Now it is 8:00pm so it relatively dark so I can`t see their faces clearly but I can see that the man has a pot belly and looks old and the young girl is a teenager probably 16 years old. Then the man does something I would not have predicted. He hands the girl some money. Then he leaves the circle and then 5 minutes late the girl also leaves the circle counting the money in her hands as she leaves. Ooh my goodness I am so shocked.

They had just had sex under the statue of JB Danquah in the center of town. Wow I think what is Ghana coming too. I decided to investigate, ok ok so investigate is a better term than snoop around. Anyways I drive around the circle to see if I will see any more odd couples pleasuring themselves. It seems clean. If I was bold enough I would have parked my car and actually walked around. I guess I have to leave that kind of investigating to the experts. I drive off astonished.

I hear a car honking behind me and I snap out of my little memory lane trip. The cars are moving and I quickly start to move. I finally get to work in one piece. I am quite happy since I can start my morning stress free.
