Bags are packed- Ready to travel

14th of January 2022

Today was a very stressful day, I had do a lot of arrangement since I’d be travelling tomorrow as mentioned in Day 12 of 365- Nothing but sound health; I intend to go to the federal Medical Centre at Ondo state so I can get my health checked properly since I haven’t been to my cardiologist in over 8 months which is a really risky move if I intend to live long. My health has been diminishing for some time now as mentioned in Day 10 of 365- difficulty in breathing, hence the need to travel. In preparation for my travel, I did a lot of washing, ironing, arrangement and so on, while ensuring I do not leave anything behind since I wouldn’t be coming back to Lagos in a very long time. I’ve got all clothes packed, books arranged (comic books and visual dictionaries for the Star Wars franchise), gadgets, and all things necessary including my hospital card. Forgetting this would be disadvantageous, getting another one would be a very long process which I do not intend to go through- I hate stress. This journey should be over already, in fact, I should be writing a post describing the journey and the quantity of stress I went through because I actually intended to travel today but eventually changed my mind yesterday afternoon due to something called procrastination and tiredness. It wasn’t exactly procrastination, I actually had a lot of things to do which took a lot of time, I didn’t get it done until late evening, hence I didn’t have time to make necessary arrangements which should include washing necessary clothes, packing my shoes, and arranging my stuffs ahead of the journey. Surprisingly, my glasses case which contains my GTB (Guarantee trust bank) and Zenith Bank debit card went missing- it miraculously disappeared from the house, and I have no idea who may be responsible for this. I haven’t had any reason to use it since the beginning of this year since I mostly do transfers at the POS stand (I’ve got the merchants account number so I do a transfer before leaving home, after which I’d simply tell them how much I transferred and cash will be received), hence I didn’t notice it was missing until yesterday morning when I intended to use it. I’ve got a particular spot where I place each time, and there’s no reason for it to go missing unless it has been taken or stolen by an insider. Last time I saw it was on the 2nd of January, which was on a Sunday, I intended to take it to church but totally forgot to take it as I was running late. I remember I left it behind after I had gone far from home hence couldn’t go back but simply ignored it. I’ve had no reason to use it ever since hence I didn’t notice someone had moved it from the usual position. I guess I’d have to go to both banks to get new ones, meanwhile I’ve blocked the cards already hence whoever must have taken it cannot have a piece of my money…lol. In fact, I mostly store my money in cryptocurrency BCH, and only convert the exact amount needed to fiat in the case of necessary spending hence whoever must have taken my debit cards is simply taking a hike.

Here I am fully exhausted from travel preparation, the arrangement was stressing and full of a lot of “divide and conquer”. Divide and conquer in the sense that I had to clear out some clothes which I do not intend to wear anymore, at the same time sorted out the necessary ones by folding them neatly into my travelling bag or box or whatever it is called. My books were sorted s well, while dropping some which I no longer need. I just remembered at the time of writing that the footwear I intend to wear tomorrow hasn’t been cleaned yet, hence I’d better go do that before I become too tired and drift off to dream land. I guess it’s time to end this article and say “good night”, toddles and yada yada.

Closing thoughts

Tomorrow’s journey is gonna be a very stressful one, it’s a 4-to-5-hour ride, hence my knees are gonna ache through most of the journey since I’ve got long legs. I sincerely wish I could take a flight over there as this would only take about 20 to 30 minutes and the journey would be over before I even know it, unfortunately I’m currently on a strict spending policy hence I can’t withdraw from my BCH savings due to the dip or it would be disadvantageous. I’d have to stick with the long and boring ride, I’d lose my mind somewhere between, but I’d be fine. I may not be able to interact tomorrow as much as I used to because I’m gonna be drained after the long journey- apologies in advance!
