It all started with the insomnia. Perhaps sleeplessinpolokwane is manifesting literally in my body. I have not been able to sleep. I tried all the remedies I know; from the old wives tales to guided meditations. The consequence of course is that I am tired and grumpy during the day meaning I couldn't go about my business with the usual enthusiasm. I couldn't update the blog because I was being the blog...sleeplessinpolokwane.
Then I hit my car. Twice. On Tuesday I reversed into a wall and cracked the bumper. I got over it pretty quickly and decided to fix it as soon as possible. On Friday morning I went to the autobody shop where they removed the bumper and told me they'd give me a call once it was complete. So I went on my merry way and proceeded to scratch the side of my car at the garage at work. I didn't get over this one as quickly.
Between all of these things I had to return my brand new phone to the store because it could do everything but make calls. I made the mistake of washing my wanna-be-dreadlocks and now my hair has gone back to being an afro only with locked ends.I missed the Parkrun and the monthly Flea marketa and book launches and youth seminars. I even missed Empire.
However, I had some great moments during this series of unfortunate events. Which I will write about next time provided of course that I get some sleep tonight.

Superman lives on but no longer need the old telephone booth to change; he has all those smartphones we own, if only we could take our eyes off them for a minute.
