I am not really in the mood to blog today, honestly. I slept on a very good note yesterday after watching Dwayne Johnson's heroes, and was very inspired by Charles' selflessness when he walked away from a whopping $610,000. That money could have changed his life but as he put it, "I am walking away from everything I have always wanted". I found that really thought-provoking and was deeply touched.
That was last night. Today is a different ballgame entirely.
This morning, I woke up to a phone call from my mum and I guess she basically wanted to tell me that she was going to her friend's daughter's graduation ceremony in another city. I didn't like that. It unsettles me anytime my mum tells me she is travelling to another part of Nigeria by road. Not trying to paint a bad picture of my country here but let's be honest, Nigeria, like many other places, is not the safest place on earth's surface. I prayed inwardly and committed her into the hands of God. She shall return home safe and sound by God's grace and no evil shall befall her.
I couldn't go back to bed after she called me so I picked up my iPhone to track my Visa application package via Canada Post. The Embassy has still not sent my visa. I am really beginning to get worried here. I sent them an email yesterday and they haven't replied. I hate more than anything else to be in limbo. To not know what's happening in regards to any issue that concerns me just bothers the hell out of me. I really want to go home this year but this whole embassy thing and their strike action is just stressing me out. I am hoping something changes soon. Or at least, let me hear back from them. I need to go home! I wanna see my mama!!!!!! Argh! lol.
Anyways, time to go and start getting ready to work. Hopefully, the rest of the day would be much better than the way I am feeling right now.
