A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

Dearest Diary.

All what I can say is....... FUCK YOU Eskom, your leadership is retarded. Here we are in the mist of load shedding but our country is supplying non-payers and informal settlements with free electricity which does not get cut off when the grid is under pressure but the tax payers and the people that pay for the service have to compensate once again.....and we are helping Zimbabwe out too because........ Remind me again why we are helping out another country, when the leaders cannot even take care of their own???
The reason why I am so angry is that this is now the second time I have nearly had a near death experience whilst jogging on my treadmill - imagine it at pace 9.1, me minding my own business thinking about all the books I want to read, then the treadmill stops suddenly and I fall down forward like one of those break dancers - I think I perfected that funny worm dance move that they do - wiggle wiggle wiggle.......

Look it does not affect me that much, but it affects my sister who is oxygen dependent 24/7 and it has happened on previous occasions that the power went off in the middle of the night and we nearly lost her as everyone was asleep and no alarms sounded ( I live separately from the fam)...... I'd like to think that a powerful force woke my parents up before it was too late. It is scary, and there is no telling when the luck will run out.
We have the generator on now, but the tenants and I can only plug in a few appliances - kettle for coffee - check! TV for my boy - check!! That's about it. The cellphone towers are down too, so no reception. Had to unplug the kettle to post this rant.
I am off to go light a candle or start a fire (at least I can run away..... slowly because I am injured) and sing Kumbaya or The Lion Sleeps Tonight to whoozaaaaa and calm down.

Yours Sincerely,
A pyromanic misfit
