Waiting to get to counter, I felt sweaty. I asked the guy behind me to go ahead, I sat down, heart beating fast....

I remove my hoodie, headscarf and inner t-shirt all come off. I put back the T-shirt and act normal. Panic on top of panic..

Hello Mr Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

I saw your post on facebook outlining what you and your team have done so far.

I shared it and I wrote that you have accomplished excellent work in a short time and that haraka haraka haina baraka.

And that kahora, kahora kari indo.  And Rome was not built in a day.

Pole pole ndio mwendo.

And facebook and Twitter was pasting my copied stuff from before:...

The stuff was a summary of all times I have been admitted to the mental hospital.  Here is the stuff.

1. I was watching the wizard of oz when the green witch came out of the TV and started pressing on my chest and I was shouting to Jesus while everyone thought I was swearing. I asked that 911 be called. 1999

2. I went to somebody's home at 6.00am and they called the cops 2000

3. I told the dog to get out of my clean kitchen and the cops were called.2000

4. I was wanting to jump off the balcony on the 7th floor. I ran outside to the ground level and was speaking Kiswahili and Gikuyu and the cops arrived. 2004

5. Robbers came to my work place and I ended up in hospital. Ryan and I turned me into hospital. 2006

6. I told Ryan to take me to the police station and the police decided I was ill enough to go to the hospital. 2006 

7.  I had not slept for 5 days and five nights and was admitted to hospital on August 3, 2010 to September 21, 2010.

...And would not let me post that you are cleaning up well after Mr Harper!!  (Immigration, I mean, last half of my incredible journey with immigration, he was in power..................)

I better go.

Thanks Blogger.  You saved the day.

Happy Labour Day, where applicable.
