Failed to meet up with my writing routine for the first time, but not without an effort

For the first time since I started blogging I failed to have an article published. As always with anything I put my heart and soul into my blog, and always make sure I have something new for my audience no matter how tight my schedule in real life become. Even when I am on a sick bed I still couldn't hold back to share something to my audience, but this time I couldn't make it to have an article published yesterday but not without an effort.

As an institutional official, the last week of every month is always a tight one for me, however, with my phone with me, I still try to steal some time from the tight schedule to chip in something here. My excuse is that some people could be looking forward to my article right now, and a good thought could make a big difference in their lives. For that, I write on schedule and out of schedule.

It was again a busy weekend as always, I have to travel to my home town to see some relatives, and then move to my institutional corporate headquarters in another town for a board meeting. And then to attend an all night church service before returning home on the evening of Saturday. All the driving, even the meetings, it has made my daily schedule so tight that I couldn't write anything here. So my thought was to do it as soon as I get home.

To be honest, I didn't think that there would be anything that can make it impossible for me to have an article published yesterday. I have the topic already built up inside and was eagerly looking forward to get home so I could pour out my heart to my followers on this blog. But I was wrong.

When I got to the home, I tried to answer some calls, make some other business, and finally found the moment to prepare for some writing. Hitting on my laptop, I started typing away, but just after the third paragraph my electricity supply went out and there was no fuel in the generator. However, I thought the laptop battery will be enough to power the computer for some time, until I can recharge the battery. So I kept going, until the inevitable happened.

I didn't remember that my data pack was due for a renewal until I received a message that my data has been finished. While the laptop battery was running out, I tried to refill my data pack through my bank account but I received a message that my order could not handle at the moment. I tried several times to no avail and have to give up. Meanwhile, the laptop battery ran out on me without having to save the few paragraphs I have already typed. This meant that I cannot post anything on my blog for Saturday.

It was really disappointing, I was looking forward to publish something interesting, but I could not do it. However, I am back now with a new plan and this time, I will no longer let that failure to be a weak point for me. I don't know how I couldn't even remember that my data pack was due for a renewal, and I even use two different network providers to avoid such situations. But this time I will do it right.

Every month, I try to keep my data usage under check on my phone from which I shared with the rest of other accessories I have . So I can replace the data packs in just the right time, and this time, I will keep it that way. So, waking up at midnight, I got to check if my bank will enable me to order a replacement plan right now and I succeeded, I ordered the data pack of 3.5gb for a month at $6 and have it activated immediately to allow me to publish something on my blog at least this early morning.

Since the electricity hasn't been returned I couldn't access my laptop to check if I could be able to restore the article I was working on before the suspense started yesterday. I hope I would be able to restore my work and post the article later today in the evening, I wouldn't want to forget about it because it was a topic well conceived and had several threads to be extended.

Why am I writing this at this particular time? As readers of my blog would know, i have never failed once to have an article published daily for as long as I could remember. And I know some of my eager readers must have noticed that I didn't have anything published and might feel bothered by that. If you are like me, I feel bothered when my favorite author failed to publish something for me to read and I always look forward to read them.

Moreover, I am sharing this hoping that it will help me forget about this failure and will get rid of this vague feeling of dissatisfaction that has been haunting me. Not sure if that's going to work but I still hope so, for the sake of my blog and my readers.

Anyways, since we are not in any hurry, let's wait for the electricity to return for us to try to restore the real deal of an article and get it out of the oven. In the meantime, let's take a rest and enjoy the beauty of the outcome.

I hope this little post wasn't so boring for you, here's to see your response. Thanks
