The hustle is real

It's a new month. We need to start it with prayers and expections for the new month. We went to church around 6am for the start the month with Jesus.

We already knew we won't wake up early for the program because myself, my sister and my cousin were just on our phones exploring lots of funny things and having hot gists with ourselves, as a result of that we slept around 2am and we were to wake up 6am. To avoid lateness I decided to set an alarm to wake up 5:30am so as to prepare for church but unfortunately I didn't hear the alarm ring🤣 cuz we were fast asleep. It was my Dad that later came to wake us up.

After church we came back home around 7:30am so I prepared breakfast while my cousin did the house cores. I prepared pap and plantain, served my Dad in his room.There was no electricity throughout the day. We slept immediately after breakfast.

Then a visitor came to break our nap. My Dad attended to the visitor while I went to my work room to make some creative bags. I made some patterns of bags then cut out the materials unfortunately I had no wool to sew the bag.

My cousin came to meet me and was like what are we going to have for lunch I told her I had no idea. I continued my activity then the visitor informed she was leaving, the visitor gave me #3,000. My cousin came again that she suggests we make rice and beans with palmoil with lots of onions and locust beans(Yummy).

My cousin loves food and sleep, she can sleep on waters and can eat a whole lot of food together with the pot🙄. In my head as she was saying it I was already imagining myself on the floor devouring the food. My Dad already went outing.

I jumped from my bed with full force to look for charcoal and locust beans. We started looking for where they sell locust beans in the area because the main market is very far to the house. We saw a small shop where they sell foodstuffs. We couldn't imagine they them selling locust beans there so I asked if they had Locust beans then the seller said Yes....my cousin hugged me so tightly and was very happy. The seller was confused because of our happiness.

We hurriedly went back home, on getting to the house we remembered we didn't buy charcoal to cook🤣. We went out again hunting for charcoal, finally we got to a place they sell charcoal. And I like to buy things in bulk so that it can serve us for a long period to avoid stress so I told the seller to sell #2,000 charcoal cuz she said a bag is #3,000. Things are now getting very expensive in the country I pray God intervenes quickly.

The seller started dividing #2,000 charcoal for us, we didn't go with our sack so she can pour in the charcoal for us so she said we would leave a deposit so that we won't run away with her sack. We collected the half bag of charcoal we struggled to carry it home by passing through short cuts to the house. At last we climbed fence together with the charcoal and we were looking like charcoal itself. We were looking so black and dirty.

All because of Rice and beans we suffered this much...it was already looking like I have malaria because I was so famished and shaking. I got the shock of my life when we got home I met a full bag of charcoal at the boat that my Dad had already gotten from his outing.

I almost cried assuming I knew he had it on his mind we wouldn't bother stressing ourselves to buy the charcoal....that's bygone.

We started cooking. My cousin prepared the Coal pot now we are ready to cook our food. I started picking beans. It cooked for a while poured rice and all the needed ingredients. At the moment I was craving for chilled coke. I left what I was doing, rushed out to the area to look for Coke. The first shop I saw they had Coke but I wasn't chilled I ran again to the next shop then bought my chilled Coke.

Guess what I finished the Coke before I got home🤣🤣

Food is ready!!!

I don't like using small plates to eat I love using bigger bowls😊
