48 hours After Quitting Smoking

I am still craving cigarettes. In fact craving is an understatement. I would practically rob anyone I saw with one.... I keep my sanity by drinking glasses of water and reading about Lebanon. I don’t know why but the Middle East sure does make life in Africa seem so serene and worth living...

Gosh but Nairobi has been really cold this year. I can not remember the last time I felt the warm sun on my skin... KPLC slapped me with an 8,000 bill most of which I blame on those cheap little heaters from Nakumat! I feel like a small industry when I look at my electricity bills in this town. Almost makes me miss my little shanty where all connections were illegal!

Anyone know a bookshop that sells second hand books in Nairobi? The last one I knew was all the way down coast in Mombasa but I checked last month and it had decided to go the retail shop route.

I have 3 dates this evening and I don't know which one to let down...

I still have a high libido,

There is no jam out there so I can head out about now. I hope when I have kids they never read this hahaha.....

Today I spent my first 24 hours without smoking while at the same time attempting Atkins Diet. In Nairobi, no diet works like Atkins because Nyama Choma is just around every kiosk (and I mean that literally). Not smoking for 24 hours is like winning the Tour de France on low testosterone!!!!! I can already feel my libido rising and my breath clearing. Now to dash home and check out whether the weight has gone an itsy bitsy teensy weensy down....

If that's on course, I guess I will sort out the libido next...

Well so now I have my own little rant and rave space. Why the heck did I sign up for this... Firstly because the traffic jam in Nairobi is so frustrating during the rainy season so other than surf the same old web sites and laugh at all those whose photos appear in the personals, I have decided to jump onto the wagon. yada yada yada....

Mainly because I hope this helps me understand the people of Nairobi because real life hasnt helped me understand a few things; Like how every 3rd or 4th person I know is a single mother but I have not yet met a single father.... Like how I can be asked to become a CFA and why my neighbour drinks more than half the alky in MY house.

And of course if I have writers block, I can return to those personals and have a good old laugh!
