A terrible affliction of being very hard on myself.

I'm a natural stress bunny and am wearing my shoulders as earrings. Sigh.
This is not a good sign... I'm supposed to be resting in these last days of peace. So why are we moving house on Saturday? And buying a car (Nairobi-life essential with a baby). And taking French classes? And talking about taking on part-time work between now and the birth? And stressing about money? And anything else I can invent/ think of?
Serenity now.

Why is the room you're in arranged the way it is?

Increasing flow and light with the furniture we have is top priority!

It's been a long, long time. My poor, poor internet connection, power cuts and a very horrible frame of mind have conspired to prevent me from being here.
Despite my expat experiences, I'm not settling into life in Nairobi at all. I've been unhappy from the first day, and events have only compounded it - at least, my attention is focused on the negative aspects of life here.
Good news is that we're expecting our first baby - yay!
I'll stop there before my 'and we're having him/ her in Kenya' worries begin...

Silence...

Sorry for the silence!
Hopefully, I'm back... I've been finishing my MBA final project and am now at the heavy procrastination stage of writing my report for the university. I've started a new internship that offers no money and am stressing myself out about being in a new country with no close friends, no family, no job, no money...
Serenity now...

The rain has stopped and the sun is coming out to play!
And I'm getting somewhere with my report. Hurrah!

Power cuts. Stomach bugs. Intermittent and slow internet.
The joys of Nairobi do not include these things.
We're slowly getting there. (I think I might have said that before)
I'm rediscovering meditation (phew) and really need to kick start my yoga. Motivation is evading me at the moment.

I've just moved to a new place and have a whole new world in front of me...
I don't think I'm taking advantage of this opportunity at all though: too anxious, too insecure. I feel like there is an enormous hurdle before me (that I've put there myself). Except I don't know how to get rid of it. Hm...
Watch this space.
