As I lay in bed this morning it hit me... 20 days before Christmas Day... oops I haven't even done any Christmas Shopping. I guess Effective Dec1st I stopped counting Calories... my gosh the holidays always bring with them good cheer and lotsa treats... all the good stuff, all the parties etc. I love this season.. pple are friendlier - forget the cold weather... pple just have warm hearts and it's just awesome!.Lots of money to be spent and lots to be made... hey I will be working on Christmas day, Boxing day, New Year's day and the day after new year. The first 3 are all holidays and our company is giving us Holiday pay for Jan 2nd - that will be much needed paper to deal with the blues of the dreaded January disease- umjombo. i've always opted to work on Christmas day... neva is the same as those Xmas Days we spent in Zim.
i will be packing all the weight I lost and even more , then as I count down towards New year one of resolutions will be lose weight...ask me 2 weeks into January what i would have done about that and i will tell you ... absolutely nothing!
I have been doing a lot of thinkingtons.... first to deal with my Xmas shopping issue here's what I will do... and trust me you will admire me for my brilliance...lol. Well every Christmas I go out crack my head, and go insane trying to get a gift for each of my bhururus. This is a task usually left for the last minute... me and my last minute fame, then I finally get them something ...question is do they really need that stuff, methinks no but they will just smile and say thanks or you shouldn't have. So I have decided this year to sponsor a needy family for Xmas on behalf of my Bhururus and myself... i still need to go and shop for the kids but the neat part about it all is I have been given a list- how easy is that.
Work has been crazy busy... year end.. budgets for the upcoming year need to be done, lots of reports due. lots of training in preparation for the upcoming year...been a fun experience ...lots of learning.
The other day my GM asked if we could make some goals for the New Year - one personal one and 4 work related objectives....mina blank. not to gloat but I do wat is expected of me emsebenzini...well not all the time. i guess for starters I could start reporting to work on time and stop being itshom' yemara(thon) everyday in the morning. I guess I could be a bit more organized. Haa okunye am clueless.
Do I really have to make resolutions for the new year.... quite frankly I choose not to... methinks its a waste of time. I never get to them.. I forget , and something always comes up or I am trying to do too much at once.. Yeah I have hopes for the new year... will see if those will become a reality.
2007 has been a great year ... ngibonga umlim' for seeing me through. I put my life in his hands to take charge once again in 2008. Enjoy your holdays...remember all the grub is calorie free, stay warm spread some cheer, and all the best for 2008.
