Congratulations our Patrick

19/03/2022

I am poised to joyfully savour every moment i have in the land of the Living. Amen

Yesterday i had to visit the Pain Management Clinic of the Princess Medical Centre, what a novel idea to have a Clinic dedicated to Paun Management.

While there, trust me na, i asked so many questions because of what i saw as equipments, do you know that there is Pain Pyscology Management?

The number of people i saw there was humbling...there is so much going on that we are not aware of.

I did a video of my treatment and it will come in a bit....do have a fine weekend and seek the right medical facility when ill. There are answers to our health challenges in Port Harcourt, we just have to desire " value".

N/B...i called my Makeover artist to touch up my face, i needed to inspire myself,.

Ivy.

THE DIARY OF A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN

1.

Finding Love;

So here I was minding my business and this fine looking man asks that I kindly have a drink with him.

The conference we were attending was quite intense. Giving no space for me to gather my wits, I was hungry, tired , and my wits had been used up. My plan as I left the conference hall was to find something interesting to eat accompanied by a slightly strong but dark coloured drink.

This was my state of mind as I listened to this fine specimen of manhood. I wonder, which one be this again? Lol. Who is paying? How much do I have to spare? Is this invitation just for “company” or it is a date of a sort?......Ha . who wants to hang out with a “mama” ……

I quickly make a mental note of my spending power, hmmmmm, well, I can….i should be able to spare a few Nairas on a man, my taste and taste buds are high, I am very picky, this one does he know what he is asking for, I wondered.

My life has been uneventful for somwtime now , (3 years to be precise), matter of fact it could be described as DRAB! So I accepted his invitation, no harm seating with a fine man, I hope his mind is as powerful as his looks I wondered.

The Order is exotic. He had asked if he could order for me, and of course I said yes, abeg I don tire to think for myself I thought, meanwhile, I took note of the rates since in my head I will do the paying. Make small pikin no come take me play.

Our hangout and gist is severally interrupted by co conference delegates who stop by to say hello to my new found friend while extending curious stares and some acknowledgements accompanied by compliments which makes me begin to wonder if I was tipsy already. Somehow I didn’t feel that absent look men give you in the presence of another male, obviously my new friend commands quite some regard around here I thought.

Back to my date…. I am intrigued by the attention I am receiving, the care and attention to detail is exhilarating , I find Madonna’s "Whose that girl" playing in my heart on his behalf, lol. Our conversations center on nothing serious, but I note that we laugh a lot and his eyes light up as we laugh and I wonder what I am doing here, I sense danger, but I feel overwhelmed with a certain kind of joy.

Alas it is time to part ways, contact details are exchanged, and we say our goodbyes. Btw, no way was he going to allow me pick the bill, Infact the way his countenance darkened at the suggestion by me almost scared me. My heart smiles and my bank app rejoiced secretly. I could feel some joy juices spreading all-over me and my youth renewed, who no like dash of any sort? I just had good food, great company, laughed enough to serve me for six months…..my gait felt light as I left the conference venue.

So the morning after, I do my morning rituals and proceed to check my mails , behold a musical video "Fresh" by Kool and the Gang drops into my box from you know who…..

Diary of a Middle Aged Woman.

Page 3.

Dear Diary, it has been one week of Dates and Dates. Otumba Demola Sode, my new found friend has mesmerized the breath out of me with very very few words. Not that we have discussed the relationship in any way, but, my heart is warm with all this attention.

After that music Saturday, I got a phone call asking for lunch at this exotic restaurant that just opened, the restaurant was in my work and I had followed it’s progress and was green with envy on the opening as I passed by, I grabbed the offer without a second thought, na who posing help sef, besides I don’t have much food at home and the children are at my sister’s.

After that lunch, there were two more dates, within the week o! it was like Otumba has a peep into my heart, how does he manage to address the issues on my wish list? The venues for our Dates were well thought out, exotic and exclusive. And the conversations nko? We talked, no, not talk, we gist and gist like old friends, revealing our fears and disappointments on the journey of life to one another. Again we laughed a lot!!!!!! My intellect has been pricked by our conversations such that I found myself referring to him on two reports I had to write, hahahahahaha, my Boss even gave me a funny look this week…. as in my reports have never been this well articulated she said.

I wonder how we find what to laugh at, I am free spirited I know, but Otumba is, em, how do I put it now/ He is not just stern looking but he appears to be very reserved, did I tell you he always thanks me after every date for bringing laughter into his life? He said laughter is a rare commodity in his life.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Where did I get the feeling that this was going to be more than pure friendship by th way? Because our conversations have not gone that direction at all.

Hahahahaha, mtschew, the weekend is here again, I declined an invite to visit a golf turf, biko, lemme go and hang out with the girls, we have an emergency sef, we hear that Ruth’s husband who only moved out the other week got married traditionally by that weekend. I mean, who does that ? he left the house on Sunday on grounds of imcompartibility after Ruth has opned up her network for him to thrive in his business, only for him o to get married by Saturday. How can someone be this sneaky?, mean? And what other word can I use to describe this level of evil? The same story over and over again, what is a girl supposed to do? Watch her partner whine away is despondence? ...... you know a woman feels so robbed after investing so much and the man still leaves, little wonder some women go on and empower just themselves while society judges her.

Well, we will be sitting this out with our girl friend as a wounded soilder this weekend to help ease the pain of this irrepairable loss.

Wish us success.

The Diary of a Middle Aged Woman Page 2.

Finding Myself.

Dear Diary, as I listened to the lyrics of the song I find myself swept away by its intrinsic meanings…. Oludumare…. I felt wooed in the most attractive way…my heart was melting already.

Am I worth these words abi this is just a means to an end? From seat out yesterday to music this morning I have been wooed in the subtlest yet an undeniably strong way…. Who is this man? He’s got skills I must say.

You see, I have been separated for six years, in all that time I have lived a very private life, locking away my desires, fears and expectations. Yes, there have been admirers now and then but none have come on as strong as this my new found friend within such a short time using few words.

So this fine Saturday morning, alone in a hotel away from home, away from my domestic worries and business challenges, listening to the words of Kool and the Gang’s Fresh I mused on how life had deprived me of the happiness that comes from been appreciated by a man. `

Why has love eluded me? Dear Diary, is love real? What does it consist of? What did I do wrong in my marriage? I thought that was love, everything seemed nice while we were courting, but immediately we got home after our wedding reception trouble started with my mother in law insisting that she must go back with half of my wedding gifts …. If I had agreed with my in-laws perhaps my marriage experience would have been different, Dear Diary what do you think?

The idea had sounded too absurd to me at that time, especially when Philip took sides with her, I was just overwhelmed…. hmmmm story for another day dear diary.

I think love has failed me, I am not in search of her, not at my age btw, so why won’t these stomach butterflies leave me alone.

Philip and I brought ourselves to detangle after ten years of arguments, lol, we hardly could agree on anything, we looked picture perfect but our union was very soul wrenching in reality, we couldn’t be referred to as lovebirds though we so looked the part, for ten years I tried everything in and out of the book to make my marriage worth the effort, his cases of infidelity was mind blowing, domestic staff, relations, even the most bizarre case of our neighbor in the estate, married woman o, every day he had one explanation to make, that was the only time you could find his calm version, he was always entangled with one female or the other, and, btw, when caught he makes no effort to deny, hahahahaha, you will hear explanations like, it was just the tip, or it is you I really feel for, or it is because I do not get enough from you, I never knew men from Edo had such a high libido. one good day alone in the house without the clutter and chatter of a young family I finally spoke to myself and faced my truth.

Na so I jejely strolled out of the marriage in spirit and in truth resigned to be married to Jesus and now one of his sons is causing wetness in my down below.

But , come o, the man has not said anything to me o.....could this be conji of the heart?

Happy Mother's day dear Ivy.....this year i celebrate me on my Mothering journey.

( Growing up i did not see myself in the Mould of Mother. I had done a tonn of Mothering my younger siblings and a load of cousins and family friends...)
....because

We were reminded constantly of how painful child bearing was.

I had excused myself, but joyfully accompanying friends on their journeys....dem say know thyself no be curse.

But.....Time and Chance happened......

So 22 years in the business, with one case where i do not know who is Mother or Child i thought i should say welldone to myself and Thank you to the great Jehovah for the journey so far....it has not been easy, i didn't see it coming but hey! indeed there is a God who rules in the affairs of man all by himself.

So....
I salute you my co travellers, every woman who has so stood for others biological or surrogate. ..btw the surrogates are the real MVPs.

Girls....we don try abeg. Love yourself. Appreciate yourself. Stay beautiful. Stay joyful.

Happy 2021 Mother's Day.

Ivy.
