Super Makoti

It has been 50 days and 2 kilos since my last post. Those are kilos gained, by the way. Herbex "hlasela mafutha (attack the fat) and my new found affinity for salticrax have set me back considerably. The only fat being attacked during my month on herbex was that which was on my plate.

In the 50 days since my last post I have also thrown myself into my new role at work and moved house. All this whilst trying to be a respectful and respectable makoti. In the past 50 days I have become so busy that my makoti is on autopilot. In the past 50 days, I have learnt how to make Spice's favorite meal in under 45 minutes without blinking,  converse with mom on the phone, pack boxes, prepare financial year end reports, watch Isibaya, and Pinterest wedding ideas - all at the same time. In the past 50 days, whilst I was lifting my makoti to super-makoti status, the strangest question became regularly asked of me. A significant sample of my nearest and dearest, God Bless them all- family, friends and colleagues alike, asked me with the most heartfelt concern "when are you having kids, and when you do, how will you cope?"

Of course I want kids. Always have. But my dearly beloved, there is a time and a place for everything. I will cross that Huggies when I get there. Don't count my eggs before they've hatched. Allow me to be Super Makoti just a little while, and enjoy it. Asseblief tog!!!!

I wish herbex could design some sort of potion for such comments. Maybe Herbex "attack the baby comments", it hlasela ama-baby-comments from eeeeeeveryone"!!!

Now where are my salticrax....
