A lazy Friday afternoon; Valentines.

My boss is not in, there are so many things that flashed through my mind when she said she will not be in; eating roast maize with my legs on my desk, ordering lunch from mama Njeri (she is the lady who makes those matumbos I treat my self to every end month). Taking the boss’ tea and mandazis ; I hate waste. If I don’t eat those things, they will just be wasted.  Calling all my friends to pass by and we catch up in the big office……..all those not to mention working on the report I have been working on for the whole week. It’s demonic, this report. It gives me dizziness the minute I think about it. Let me not talk about it now.

I did none of the above. (Including the report kwisha!!) The office has ethics, I am well educated.  But it is Valentines, the mid month day that people behave like its not mid month yet we all know we dint save for this unnecessary holiday. Ok if its even a holiday in the first place.

I am among the people punishing their pockets in the name of love. I bought myself Mokimo and turkey meat. What better thing can a woman do to herself? Am not quite sure if it was turkey or quail meat. I have not consumed either before.  But it was a foreign taste and it was white meat. Am safe!!

 I already sent flowers to my love. I mean my 8-5pm marriage partner. She is not in as I had earlier mentioned.  Diseases know not holidays, how can one be unwell on Valentines? Ok am well, am happy. I totally do not know what do to with myself this afternoon. Partly because am not sure of how my stomach will react to the foreign white meat, and partly because I am not used to so much freedom. No files on my desk!! I am wearing a D&G designer ring on my left wedding finger. Like a lost wife, married with a wrong ring. That is how I look on this day of unnecessary love.

 Oh plus am I corporate wear and red shoes. The red shoes were not one bit intentional but having to explain that makes me feel guilty so Il let it pass. Am in red shoes on a lazy Friday afternoon that happens to be Valentines.

I am a P.A whose boss in not in.

I have decided what to do……..let me go and do it now.
