JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS ONE GAL GOES THRU

This is one of those feel-good days for me, Its the days when you know there is plenty you could be fussing about but you just choose not to. Took a while for me to learn this skill. I say skill because if I called it Art I'm afraid I would be taking liberties with the language.

Nothing is fazing me today, not even that black chicken that crossed my path today morning. I refuse to Google and find out what kind of an omen a black chicken crossing your path symbolizes. Albeit it was very determined to....nah, nothing will faze me today.
It is just one of those days

Not even my suspicious colleagues asking why I'm eating groundnuts early in the morning. Making me feel like I had just pulled out a bag of coke and was snorting it. By the way they turned out to be the worst groundnuts I had ever tasted but because I had metaphorically given the finger to their suggestive claims, I will slowly soldier on down to the last nut... Note to self: Must Learn To Swallow Pride.
Today is just one of those days

Not even the rude makanga in the morning matatu could ruin the mood. Lord only knows what crept up his pants because he was voicing opinions that were not needed, commenting on each and every conversation he overheard...clearly someone raised him up with the impression that rude interjections make great conversations. ..
Not even the falling trajectory my favourite black underwear took as it slipped from the clothes line of my fifth floor balcony straight into the open door of the apartment two floors down. I had the quickest brainstorming session in my head and decided to follow it down. Nay, it was not a walk of shame...more like a determined no-man-left-behind kind of walk. It just had to be done...when you love something that means going the extra mile. I'm not sure whether the guy who came to the door was just amused or he thought it was a not-so-subtle come hither message. Did his expression pique my curiosity? It did. Did it really matter? Not in the least bit. I said thanks and went on my way..today is just one of those days :)

I'm humming a tune I don't know
I'm smiling to people I've never met
Skipping over puddles of water on the road

Its just...one of those days

One Love.
