Today was a good day.
Just like I prophesied all of this week would be. I’m doing a lot of positive affirmation and positive speaking lately and so far, so good, it seems to be working. I woke up to this link from my brother- http://t.co/rtf1zDNEW1 and at 6am, for a non morning person, I laughed my ass off and this brightened my day. I left home a bit late because I realize that in Lagos when you set out early, you and the whole world will be on the road at the same time.
Work was alright. I’m a doctor and work as an anesthetist. It has its highs and its lows but mainly highs because it is a cool job and we get to decide whether or not the surgery will take place. I joke! But its really nice, my bosses are great and I’m learning a lot. A theatre nurse who was pregnant got into labor while on the job and eventually had to have an emergency C section. She got the VIP treatment as my most senior boss performed the anaesthesia herself. She had a pretty chubby 4kg kid.
As always, I had a social event lined up for the evening. A naming ceremony in Ikoyi. On the drive there, I got a call from him. That one to whom everyone else seems like a rebound. We shared a moment and laughed and for a few minutes, everything felt perfect. After the call, I remembered the bad times and that was enough to snap me out of my la la land. Got to the ceremony a little late. Most of the guests had already left, although, there were a few friends still around. Got to see my friend, the new mother. She looked very well, not at all like someone who just had a baby a week ago. She is a typical yummy mummy. She gave us the gory details of labor; we laughed, gisted and ate.
The drive back home was filled with usual Lagos traffic. But through it all, I was smiling and listening to music on the radio and happy with myself.
Ultimately, it was a good day.

Pamela Amy is piscean and somehow random. I love love, music, books, red wine, going out and generally having fun. In my head, I’m very romantic but I’ve been told that I’m not at all :( I try to write, scribble notes, poems usually as an outlet for the many thoughts in my head. I tweet deevagal
