Chicken pox Woes and other stories.

Yes you read right, I caught chicken pox.
At my big age πŸ˜‚
And yes it caught me totally by surprise, despite being a medical student and all of that.πŸ™Ž
So lemme tell you how it happened.

A couple of weeks ago I got excited when I saw a pawpaw (or Papaya for the rest of you in the western world πŸ˜‰) in Food Lovers market and had to have it. I also picked up a bag of locally grown Zambian coffee and headed out. The next morning guess who had pawpaw for breakfast? This girl! Note that it wasn't fully ripe but since when has something like that stopped me?πŸ˜… Fast forward to nine pm that night and guess who had an "allergic reaction"? This same girl πŸ˜‚ tjo guys, was I not worried that I would become ugly?!😩 You should've seen me panic when I realised I didn't have my allergy pills (everyone with a ton of allergies has them, if you know you know), I then proceeded to wake up my mum and bother my sisters for antihistamine cream.
Fortunately I found some, lathered that stuff on like lotion and BAM! Crisis averted.πŸ’ͺπŸ˜„

Or so I thought.πŸ˜‚

Out of Christ

Happy Sunday!😁

I know I've been gone for a hot minute 😫 (on YouTube tooπŸ™ˆ), but the hiatus was definitely needed. It helped me gain perspective, learn a few truths and adjust my mindset. It also reminded me why I love to write and share my stories in the first place.

A little while ago during a very interesting interrogation πŸ˜‚ (inside joke) I was asked what my favourite hymn was. Being someone who doesn't like to be put on the spot😩, I asked my questioner to tell me theirs and why that was their particular one.
I've never been so appreciative of someone sharing something like that with me, (maybe one day I'll get them to share) and I don't think I'll ever forget it. So much so that it made me comfortable enough to open up and talk about mine.

Yes, contrary to popular belief I'm not completely extroverted. 😭 I actually have quite introverted tendencies, especially when it comes to talking about myself.

But that's a story for another day.πŸ˜
