Day 12 of 365- Nothing but sound health

12th of January 2022

For the first time in a very long time, I’m staring at my laptop screen without having any idea about what I wanna write, I’m doing the usual technique of tapping on my keyboard until something comes through, but all seems to be a waste. I apologise in advance if all you’re about to read doesn’t make a strand of sense, but you can’t exactly blame me. I’ve been struggling with my health for days, thus making it difficult for me to take time to write my articles based on research like I always do. I’ve been drained lately, my body requires a lot of rest, tightness of chest and difficulty in breathing isn’t something I can simply ignore if I intend to not drop dead suddenly, hence I had to ground myself on bed all through yesterday. I barely interacted like I used to, couldn’t follow up with a lot of phone calls and texts as well. In fact, I ignored most calls that came through and simply slept through most part of the day, woke up late evening feeling better, which made me realise that rest is a major factor for sound health. I’m not perfectly fine, I still feel a bit weird in my chest, but I no longer have difficulty in breathing, all thanks to God, my medications and my decision to relax. In the end I realise that we sometimes need to make tough decisions if we want things to get better, in my case- my heath. Speaking of tough decisions, as mentioned yesterday I have a lot of projects at hand which I’m currently working on but had to suspend them till my health is back. I don’t see any point in rushing after all there’s no such thing as a deadline since it’s a personal project, hence I had to make the necessary sacrifice of postponing since my health is more important. If I suddenly drop dead, the [project will be abandoned forever hence I’d better attain sound health first so I can have enough strength to do it the way I want.

I intend to ground myself on bed all day long as well, but I think I’d have to step out of the house for a few hours- the person to make the estimate of the quantity of blocks and cement required for the project will be available today hence I want to seize the opportunity to see him before he travels once more. This estimate will give me an idea on how much I’d be spending in total, though a little bit of miscellaneous expenses may come through, but I’d keep that in mind as well. I’d have to make sure I see him today so the estimate can be made, after which I’d come back home immediately. Everything shouldn’t take more than an hour or so, I wouldn’t be doing anything but will simply watch while he’s doing his thing since he is the professional, after which the estimate will be given to me, and I’d return home without going through stress of any form. As soon as I get home, I’d sleep for a few hours, take ice-cream once I’m awake, then continue tomorrow’s article from where I stopped. I’m writing an article as suggested by @codename_chikakiku- an article titled “Ten creepiest places on earth”. He suggested this article under the comment section of Ten scariest places you shouldn’t visit, and I already began compiling the list before sickness struck on Sunday. I’d try everything within my power to finish the article tonight so tomorrow’s article wouldn’t be a beat around the bush. I sincerely hope @codename_chikakiku would be impressed by this list since I’m doing it specially for him.

Closing Remark

It's been a real struggle since Sunday, but at the time of writing I feel as though nothing has been happening for the past few days, my health is getting better, I feel as healthy as a horse (whatever that means), and I’m glad to be alive! I’ve begun packing my things already, latest by Friday I’d be out of Lagos State, off to Ondo state I go so I can get proper medical care at the Federal Medical Centre, as mentioned yesterday, I may be feeling better already, yet I wouldn’t want to take chances by ignoring what needs to be done. My health is important, and I will take care of it since I intend to live a long life!
