It’s been raining non-stop for the past few days. I’m irritable and yearning for comfort food. A plate of fried plantain would really hit the spot.Unfortunately, I’ve run out of stock of my frozen seasoned plantain.Life here is such that whenever I come across a bounty of plantain, I need to save a few. But […]
Random sorrowness of life
I have previously blogged my growing dissatisfaction with my life as it is here, here, and here. It all started here. This year has been an intensive exercise in attitude adjustment. It’s been a real struggle to stay positive. In any case, I want to talk about physicians today. I’m truly disappointed with my lot. […]
24 hours in Pittsburgh
Headquarters of Heinz (click for museum) Given a rare synchrony of our work schedules, a few of us single lady physicians decided to head out to the big city…Pittsburgh, to be exact (sarcasm is all mine) on a day off. We arrived into town just at the end of the work week and commented first […]
Venus, Jupiter, Mars light up my sky
Venus over Jupiter…& Mars I’m so excited right now. I just saw Venus, Jupiter, and Mars in the night sky today. I’m pumped and humbled! Whenever I’m shown the glory of this universe I realize how lucky I am to be afforded the opportunity to share in it. Imagine that someone else somewhere else on […]
Recuperating in Boston
Afternoon Tea @ the Taj The last several months have not been going according to schedule at all. There was supposed to be a light at the end of the tunnel – a blueprint of sorts for the grand escape and so far all I have is disappointment. To make matters worse, the work-place is […]
Sometimes traveling is a real bear!
My Continental flight was cancelled an hour prior to departure. You know, minutes away from boarding time. Apparently, the plane that was to come get us had mechanical issues and no one saw the need to send a replacement. Sorry, you are just going to have to book on the 5am flight tomorrow. Do the […]
Miserable
So it’s the end of my trip to las Vegas and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. My mom was absolutely floored by the grandeur and trust me it is difficult to impress this woman. But as I make my way back to the village I call home I can’t help but […]
Hurrah for Summer
Flowers on path to work The calendar may not say June 21, but hurrah, it is finally summer! Yes, I’m ignoring the fact that the first 80F-plus weather day was followed by a 50F one. It’s summer because I can finally walk to work without getting rained on and without my ears freezing off. It’s […]
Woah! I’m going to Barbados!
This year I have decided to tolerate the cold and snow by enjoying it. Im taking snowboarding lessons and whilst i have fallen on my bum and gnashed my teeth more often than I can count, I’ve had fun. I’ve even indulged in bison burgers in my bid to try new things. However, I refuse […]
Literary Adventures II
About a year ago I vowed to pick up reading books for leisure again. I have a library card and have actually checked out a few books. I registered for PaperBack Swap, an online community where one can trade books for the price of postage. I now have about 30 exciting books to be read […]
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
