Late to work

I woke up on time this morning. When I walked into the bathroom to jump in the shower I looked at the mirror and saw the bags under my eyes and immediately turned around and went back to bed. I did not wake up again until 8:30am. At that time I decided I can still go and work a couple of hours. As I showered I kept thinking "is this life?" I graduated this past May. I wanted to take sometime out and travel, have fun, pretty much chill before I jump back into 4 more years of school. That worked for the first 6 months after graduation. But of course in order to travel the country I had to leave my contract work that is not consistent and get a full time job that pays consistent cash. The job happened to be in my field of study so I was content. Then the long hours started to hit me. No more waking up AROUND 9am getting to work AROUND 10am leaving AROUND 4pm. I am tired all the time, I don't have the energy to go out. When I complain to my friends they tell me that I will get use to it. Well here it is 6 months on the job and I have not gotten use to it. I know this type of structure will help me in the long run but is it by force to work 40+ hours per week to survive. I reject it o, especially at a job which is not my ultimate career. I have my side hustle going on that brings in cash but this full-time has benefits, 401k, stock options, insurance(The AMERICAN DREAM). What to do? I am tempted to quit next month and enjoy my last couple of months before school starts..... I look like I work long hours, and that is not good:(

Concert

Am I the only one who wants to go to the Jay Z and May J. Blige Concert? None of my friends were interested. Well maybe they were but the steep ticket price was holding us all back... I like Jay Z, but I really want to hear Mary sing: "Like sweet morning dew/ I took one look at you/ And it was plain to see/ You were my destiny/ With you I'll spend my time/ I'll dedicate my life/ I'll sacrifice for you/ Dedicate my life for you,"
Unfortunately, I didn't buy a ticket and the concert is today. (:

Any of my loyal friends want to buy me a last minute ticket?:-)

Speaking of loyal friends, I have over extended myself again. One of my newer friends who I met recently.... just moved out of her live in arrangement with her man. SO now that she is on her own she cannot sleep a full night. She is always on the edge and very sensitive about all comments. Lately she sent me a text at 2am. The good is that I keep my phone far from me when I sleep, but the worst is that she is textn me bull crap. Last night I got a text about how she needs to feel more appreciated by her friends( indirectly me?) . What are you talking about?!? When I saw the text this morning, I was disappointed with her. So being the direct person I am I had to call her and address it. I told her that if she is feeling that bad then she needs to move back in with the guy and stop disturbing other people( I know a bit on the mean side, but she pushed me there) I then called back and was a little nicer, I need to understand that she is going through emotional withdrawal and this is when you need your friends( even if we have not known each other that long) So when you are reading this, know that I am your girl no man is worth the amount of tears that are being spilled nor the sleepless nights.

Getting in on the Buyers market

I have been looking for a house for about 7 months. Not as my primary residence but as an investment property( because you know a good Nigerian girl cannot leave her fathers house until she is married:) ) Since it is a buyers market, I thought that it would be a good time to get in. The bad thing is a lot of other investors were thinking the same thing. So the process has taken longer thn expected. I have seen over 50 foreclosure properties, and let me tell you some have been a great buy and others have been a nightmare. Can you imagine, people who are not paying there mortgage will get a foreclosure notice, and instead of packing there things up nicely and moving out they will rip out the bathtub, punch holes in the walls, pour oil on the carpet to name the least.!. What type of nonsense is that? I guess they feel if they cannot have it then the bank will have to spend a lot of money to fix it.

Then there are the properties that have been marked down 30k less than there comparable. The amount of work that needs to be done in the house doesn't even equal 5k. These are the great buys, but since I am a little fish in the buyers market my offers are hardly even answered. So this process has has made me tired. I will see a house that I really like, but cannot reach an agreement with the seller then I feel disappointed. Honestly I am ready to give up. Does not look like my aspirations to get rich like Donald Trump is going to work out.......

Monday morn

Can anyone tell me how I can avoid leaning on my elbow!!?!! They are getting so dark. My left elbow is 10 times darker then my right. I need to take action. This is not cute at all.

Monday morn....

I am starting this blog from inspiration of one of my close friends. She knows that I am writing a book and this will give me an outlet to express some of my day to day thoughts as well as sharpen my writing skills. So if you see some grammatical errors, understand I probably did not proofread it:) I do have a college degree(lol). That being said it is Monday... early Monday morning to be exact.
On my way to work this morning the gossip I heard this weekend was bothering me. I heard through the grapevine that an older woman in my community does not come out and support my events because she thinks I know to many men to be such a young chic. I was highly pissed when I heard this because this is the same woman that looks me up and down every time I see her like she is envious of me. I see that killing her with kindness has not worked. The hag does not realize that I am a business woman and in order for my business to flourish I have to network. Men and women!! The mentality of some of our older generation can be very primitive. I hope our new generation does not hold on to these traits.
