You Know it’s January When…

It doesn’t matter how well thought out your January is. Sometimes life happens and things get out of control. These pointers sum up what January often means to many of us.

1. NANNY ISSUES

Waiting on your nanny to return. 

Your relief when she walks through the door.

Or the agony when you realise you just got played, after sending her fare and the next time you try to reach her, her phone is off.

Then comes the struggle of finding a new nanny.

2. MONEY ISSUES

This is how you check your ATM balance.

How you react when you see the balance

You finally clean out your stuff, hoping to find change.

Then you do.

3. HABITS CHANGE

You carry lunch to work. And you discover that Mathree fare is half price before 6am and sometimes walking to work is a healthy exercise.

It suddenly dawns on you that meat is very unhealthy. 5 eggs cost Sh55 in the kiosk and are better proteins than meat, more so they’re young chickens.

You avoid those friend meet-ups like the plague.

And when someone mentions the words wedding committee, baby or bridal shower…

4. DAYS SEEM TO DRAG

And today is only the 6th of January.

Until February. Aluta Continua!
