The Countdown Winds up

A few hours till he arrives, ok they are some how many hours but then they are fewer than 24hrs. The whole team is in the air so they are almost home J Am I excited? Well right now yes!! Earlier this morning I woke up with so much to do but then most of the work was in the evening so I decided to come in a bit late to work. I watched a few series and before I knew it, it was time for me to leave. When I got to work everyone was teasing me reminding me that JN is arriving tonight? For some I told them it was nothing while for others I would scream and give them a dance, hahahha. Just to make them happy. When afternoon came I was running around all over the place so I met even more and more people teasing me and asking me when he was arriving.

Comments like “how many hours?” “why are you so happy today?”

I felt it was a bit too much! Yish. Then to top it off we had a shoot in JN’s Department and everyone was all teasing me endlessly, I almost failed to get the shoot done because people kept interrupting.

They ask if I am going to the airport and I told them I will be at a dinner by the time JN arrives and I have to be there. Besides what matters is that I agreed with JN that we would meet when he has properly rested after they have arrived and rested.
So right now am at the salon getting my hair done since this dinner cannot be taken lightly as I could meet the President since he will be there.

I am excited that I get to see my man after so long. So after three long months!!
My count down soon comes to a close.

Just Coz I say So.

Friends and Frienemies

I work in a relational environment. Here people mind the other person's business. Both in the good and bad ways. It also happens to be the same place where JN works so we are a well known couple in the organization. Now that it is a week till he returns, everyone (some with good and others with bad intentions) is teasing me and watching me as the excited other half who was left behind.

I know some are jealous that JN's team comes back earlier than the usual teams that go out. But well that's their tough luck. One thing I have learnt and grown up to deal with is gossip and the knowledge that not everyone who smiles at you wishes you well. I work with so many people as we are the Communication Department and so all messages advertised and events go through our office and in the process i work with so many people frequently we become work friends. And some things like your relationship status come up. Since it is something am proud of am not afraid to share the basic stuff of how we met.

Later word comes to me (probably from the grape vine or a conversation) about a twisted version or how they wonder when you would be breaking up. At first, it used to nag me, but then I decided that those are unhappy people who have nothing to do with their lives but bad mouth other's happiness. So i rose above that. Am sure that I will not be shaken and now if the news is not from the source then I wont believe it.

So do I have friends they are few and they are my real friends. There is o one else i call friend apart from a chosen few. They are less than 10 but they have been the best ever. Honestly i would rather have non than a whole bunch of unreal "friends". Dont get me wrong am not perfect either but these few made the cut for me. I can be myself, my true self not afraid that two days later some one down the street will be knowing my business.

what are your thoughts?
