I woke up early today. Yaaayyyyy!!! This already feels like it’ll be a great week🤭.

Yesterday I met a cute guy. My journal has all the gist, already. I didn’t get his name so I kept referring to him as ‘this guy’😂. Wow Makena!

Speaking of my journal, I finally found one. Let me use it for a while longer, then when I am sure of how I feel about it, I’ll write about it hapa tu.
Meeting this guy and waking up early on the 1st day of the week has me in my feels. Let’s bag this week baaaiiibbbyyyy!!!

It’s already March. How did we get here so fast?
Last night, I randomly remembered an instance that happened while in highschool. Normally, we used to have opening assemblies at the beginning of every term. The year was 2016. We all assembled for the routine opening assembly, at the auditorium. While preaching, the chaplain mentioned that it was a leap year. She emphasized that it was a special year, for anyone born on 29th February. She went ahead to ask that anyone that was born on 29/02 to stand so that we could celebrate her. Who is Makena! I stood😂. The chaplain said that she’d organize something for my birthday.
A few days or weeks later, over Open Day, my biology teacher referred to me as the girl that was born on 29th. I was with my dad, guys😭. He looked a bit confused. He was confused not because he knew my birth date was not 29th, but because he didn’t understand why the teacher was talking about something as random as my birthday. Dad just knows I was born in June, he doesn’t know the date😏. At times he even ain’t sure of the month. I’m sure you also relate🤣.
As 29th was approaching, guilt started eating me up. I was thinking ‘gai I’ve lied to a woman of God. Sasa nitapigwa na  radi because of smol smol lies.’ I finally decided to approach the chaplain and tell her that I wasn’t born in February and that it had started as a joke with my classmates, the previous year.
Surprisingly, she didn’t bash me or anything of the sort. She laughed it off and told me she was even organizing for a cake to celebrate my birthday. She was happy that I’d come to her, early enough. As I type this, I’m on the floor because what was that, babe?!?🤣It’s younger Makena’s odocity for me.

PS: I even couldn’t type past that🤣. Thursdays are becoming hectic to live through, please!

I have Saturday morning classes and I’ve made peace with the fact that I won’t get to those classes on time😭. I’ve tried as much as I can and imagine si kila saa we’ll get what we want.

I already have birthday fever you guys. This year’s birthday would have doubled up as my grad day as well. However, I tripped. Despite that, I’m so committed to making this my best birthday yet. Right now, I have a whole plan, it’s just waiting for execution. Save up for your birthdays, please!

Not me coming back here 16 days later🤣. What’s been happening in those days is better placed in my journal, so don’t even ask about it.

On Saturday morning during my devotion, I made a prayer. In response, God said “Hold my glass” and answered the prayer just how I requested for it to be answered. But guys I wasn’t ready😭. Now I’ve spent the whole weekend asking God ‘kwani hujui jokes?’😂
Moral of the story, be careful what you ask God for. Are you really sure that you are well prepared for what you are asking Him for?

To clown or not to clown. I’m at a place where I really need closure, and the only way I’ll get the closure is if I clown. Lakini sasa mi ni gojias gal and we don’t do these things. Anyway, I have nothing to lose and I won’t sit here having headaches I can easily prevent. So, hold my wine please!

I’ve been doing my attachment for a while now. I’ve never experienced as much dismissal, as I have in the past few weeks, and this morning was the height of that dismissal.
This guy, let’s call him Bin, walks in. He has some documents that I need to check and hand over  to the relevant person. He probably has not seen me before and so quickly concludes that I’m new around here and he can therefore rush me as he wants. I’m guessing he even thinks that I don’t know how things run around here🙄.
There’s a lot I tolerate but I don’t tolerate being harakishwad to do things, especially when I’m not the one that delayed in playing my part. Bin actually stood next to me, just to ensure I work on his documents fast. I honestly would not mind if anyone else stood to ensure I worked on their documents, but the ego this man had, heh!
Anyway, in the midst of all that dismissal I’ve actually had very amazing colleagues. People that are willing to teach me and are patient with me. Those ones have a special spot in heaven, reserved for them!

Friday mornings are becoming my favorite time of the week. I wake up feeling so happy that I’ve bagged the week. I’m actually happier on Fridays, than I am over the weekend🤣.

Here’s to a beautiful weekend friends. Also, I want some wine this weekend, are you willing to be my wine buyer?!? DM me for my home address.
Red wine, thanks!😌
