Not the plan I had for Wednesday

Hey People!

I bring greetings from my hood this moment to you. I hope Wednesday went well for you over there? Mine was very sweet, I didn't go to work today and I planned to use half of the day to deal with sleep but unfortunately I didn't closed my eyes a bit.

I woke up at my exact time to go and hunt for water and luckily I met the tap running. Surprisingly we entered queue today to get the water because other people that don't have tap in their compound came. I only fetched two buckets and left them, that's because I don't have big empty bucket or drum to store water in my house.

After that I went back to my bed because the day has not brightened up. I wanted to catch some sleeps but no, I have notifications to clear, so I login, read some articles and commented. The early morning on bed like that time is usually my fastest time to read and reply faster without disturbance. I was able to read up to 10articles at a stretch and I was happy for that.

I SWEPT TOTAY

When it comes to sanitation or maintaining the compound, it's a big zero for me because I don't stay at home. So today I decided to be good tenant, I took a broom and swept the compound. I should be shy while doing that, right? Naaaa! Since it's my first time of sweeping the compound, you need to see that way neighbors were thanking me as if I just paid for their house rents. Lol😂

In the process of sweeping I found N500($1 or so) on the ground. I asked the people to know if their money was missing but they said No. They suggested I should keep it and wait maybe someone would come and ask for the money and if no one asks for it that means the Money is a pay for me kind work . Lol. I knew no one would come looking for the money because a lot of people enters our compound at night and beside, that amount is too small for someone to come back for, so I kept the money.

FINANCIAL CALL

Just some hours later while I was grinding here, I received a call from one of my cousins asking for financial help with any capacity. This is someone that we seldom talk, so before he called I know he must have thought a lot about it. I was not having enough with me so I took the cash with me, joined the $1 I picked from the ground while sweeping and sent to him (I used POS center to send the money to him). Maybe th reason I saw the money on ground was to help someone today. Thank God for that also.

I WANTED TO SLEEP BY ALL MEANS

After so many hours of reading, I decided to launch the body into the realm of sleep but did it worked? No.

I have a target to get two or three subscribers added to my list today, so this kept bugging my soft mind. The few times I closed my eyes, I got chased back from Dreamland to come and read more. Do you normally have this effect in your system too? When you have a task to accomplish and suddenly fall asleep at that point, you'd see your self being reminded to go back from the Dreamland to go and complete your task. That was the exact thing that happened to me today.

Also, the hellfire-like heat contributed alot to this, even when I wanted to take a nap when I was done with achieving the goal for the day, the hotness of the environment did not allowed me. I don't know if this current heat is only in my region or it's general. The heat has been on its peak level for some months and it's causing me sleeplessness.

Normally, I'm the type that loves cold environment and doesn't like a hot environment. Sometimes I do say that I'm not supposed to be born into this country, I'm supposed to be in a freezing country with snow. Lol🤣. The shocking part is that I suffer form catarrh often and I love being under Air conditioner, taking iced water. I've been warned severally to stay off iced water because of the frequent catarrh but my kokonut head(stubborn head) has refused.

I saw sweat dropping dripping on my body as if I poured water on my body, i couldn't sleep in such condition and outside also was very hot with the blazing Sunshine. I decided to take my bathe but that only suppressed it a little (for some few minutes).

I know one day things will be fine that when there's too much heat, just a button on the Generator and AC would solve the problem.

I ATTENDED CHURCH

Time was around 4:50pm when I dressed up for church. My battery was low, so I took charger along to plug it somewhere on my way to church, to take it when coming back. I'm supposed to plug it at church but it's very risky. I didn't want to take that risk because once the phone is gone, it's gone forever. You gerrit?

Church closed and i trekked down to where I plugged the phone, it was 55% charged and I was happy because that will carry me for the night.

That's how I spent my day with with no single sleep, even though I planned to use half of the day to sleep.

Some days are like that, you end up not following how you planned the day.

Hope you enjoyed your day as well?

Thank you for reading
