Hello! Yes I know I haven’t posted in a while Your girl has been having a rough few days.

The week didn’t start that way you know. So first weekend in February My big sister (my best friend’s big sister is my sisteršŸ˜‚ ok) invited me to her birthday weekend getaway in Limpopo. I was beyond excited I really needed to dance, I love dancing even when I know I can’t šŸ˜‚.

I had bikinis I got a while back that I haven’t worn so this weekend was the weekend, I didn’t care if it rained bikini must be worn.

So finally it is Friday and I had to drive to the lodge. I had requested for a half day at work so I could leave earlier and not drive late. LOL the the forces or darkness at work not decide to book more patients than anticipated so long story short I could not leave early. Damn! This meant I have to drive late to a place I don’t know late! God of Nebuchadnezzar save me 😭😭😭.

I hit the road as soon as I left work. Yes, I packed my things already. First stop was petrol stations For a quick petrol refill, tyre, oil and water checks I was driving alone so I could not afford drama. I hit the road with some lovely music and was driving smoothly 🄳.

Drove for an hour thirty minutes then the rain decided to start😭😭😭. I began to panic, I couldn’t see well and the gps kept telling me to turn left till I got to a dead end. Eh! I was close to tears. It was dark and in the middle of nowhere.

I called big sis cause my friend was hungover šŸ˜’. She asked I call her partner who was in his way as well for directions. She shared her location as well. I typed in the name of the lodge again and drove while saying a silent prayer because it’s enjoyment I can’t here for o not death šŸ’€.

I finally arrived at the Lodge happy thinking my struggle was overšŸ˜‚. It was still pouring heavily. Security guard was like ā€œhouse 108, just turn left left then rightā€ .If you know me you know I am beyond terrible with directions.I knew well I would get lost but I just went ahead.

Ah šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ this is a resort type of place so jungle basically and I was seeing animals. All cute till I found myself lost again 😭. This weekend was beginning to feel like a bad idea. Me thinking a lion better not come at me. I have a terrible vivid imagination šŸ˜‚.

I call big sis again almost in tears telling her I was lost and I can’t remember my way back to the gate. She got lost trying to find me till she said get yourself to the gate I will wait for you there. I took a chance and yay! I got there and finally got to my room 🄳😭😭. Now it’s time to party!

Had a shower and dolled up abit, the other guests were so lovely 🄰 and funny šŸ˜„. I love me some cool women ok!

But guess what I arrived at 8pm but I was asleep by 11pm because I was tired y’all don’t judge me šŸ˜‚šŸ’€. I am overly hyper but when I am tired I do not hesitate to find a bed. It was a long dramatic drive to the venue I needed that sleep.

Saturday is here! Awake, kids fed and now it was time for city moms to party 🄳. We danced, ate, danced, drank, changed for late dinner and prayer, ate, drank, changed, swam in the cold pool and dance some more🄳. This was absolutely fun 🤩.


This was a lovely fun weekend and it was back to work on Monday but unfortunately I had the flu which just seemed to get worse, not fun and made this week super long and depressing. But I made it, weekend is finally here hopefully I rest….hopefully because I am terrible at resting.
