hokey pokey

"That's what its all about"
what "its" all about eh? assuming "its" is life, then I think my life and this song are at odds...my life seems to be wrapped in work, chores, sleep cycle, stuck on repeat - but not in bad way really...
sleeping at least is a unique experience each night.. stupid malaria pills are giving me the most bizarre dreams... everything from fighting alien robots, to saving my little sisters from a house fire - it has been super intense ! Nope, not a dull moment for me :)
In other news, I feel super domesticated. Today I examined, planned and accomplished an  average goal - grocery shopping!
Now then don't get too excited, I have shopped before, but always for at least a small group. So work thoughts consisted of planning out meals for this next week, making multiple mental lists of items needed versus items wanted and constantly reminding myself not to buy too much cause I can only eat so much! I think my mission was accomplished fairly well, but time will be the true test... If by next week I am eating crumbs, or have mountains of food, I will be able to adjust  and try again - ah the joys of a new adventure... and worries/ difficulties of a 1st world culture (FAIL!) ... I miss Africa.
Well... I'm not quite sold on the idea that the hokey pokey is what its all about, at least my life seems to be a bit more interesting than a children's song. Life seems mundane to some, but its all about perspective, agreed?
