A Day Well Spent
I decided to stay away from my system yesterday to have my rest. I know it was the best thing I did to myself. I have always stressed myself too much just because I want to make money, but if I am not careful, I may end up using the money to buy drugs. So, what is the essence of working and paying on drugs again?
My birthday is coming up in six days and I have been preparing for the day. I wanted to make myself happy, I went to get some things to use like clothes, weavon to make a new hair, I already have a shoe and the good part is going to the studio at least this would be my first time in life taking picture at a studio but not my first time making up as I tried it first in February 14 last year.
I am someone who doesn´t fancy things like this but I just want to try it. I do make up but not as when a professional will do it for you, just a normal rubbing of powder and adding lipstick to make you look good in a small way.
I called few people to let them know of my plans and where to celebrate my birthday and thank God, it falls on a Friday where I don´t have lectures. I will definitely spend the day enjoying the moment. Okay, enough of the gist and let me wait for the day to unravel itself.
Remember I said I took my rest and intentionally didn’t come online; one needs rest at least but I was able to make myself some nice delicacies. I do this once in a while as I am not into cooking for myself that much. I only cook once in a day most times. This is why I try to make my first meal in the day as delicious because I won´t cook for the rest of the day. This is why I have snacks and fruits readily available all the time. I hope to change though 😆
I left read.cash and focused more on Hive after taking my rest and I was on the site for more than an hour. I would say that was the first time after many months of spending such hour on the site. I realized I have not been giving much time there than this place. So, I made up my mind not to come here.
There are interesting challenge topics that I can´t ignore especially the communities I am into. There was one I wrote about yesterday telling us to write on how we left home for the first time to be independent. Was I nervous or excited at first? How did I take control of my life? I left home first in my life at the age of 18 years old when I gained admission into a federal college of education. It was so hard at first especially doing things alone for the first time without your parent with you. I learned many lessons and I took decisions from then. Living alone then has given me the courage of who I am today and I can never be afraid of staying alone.
After writing my post, it was already getting late as it was around 6:45pm, I couldn´t prepare any meal again. I was just outside my room because the heat inside was much and I even sprayed my room with an insecticide. There were two ladies with me and as we were gisting, we were the only people in the building as others are yet to resume, I told them we should stroll out to the student market to see if we would see something to buy which we did.
I bought Suya (a Nigerian roasted meat) and when we got home, I made cold thick tea along with it and I made it as my dinner.
One of the ladies asked if that would be enough for me for dinner. I smiled and told her; I don´t eat much. She said my husband do not need to spend much on me because I don´t eat. That was funny though. The light came back at 9pm and we all went inside.
I thought I won´t be engaging online but my mind was here and I tried to visit many articles before retiring for the day.
It´s weekend and I have few things to do today. Firstly, I need to go to the supermarket to get my water and then when I return, I would make my food and then do whatever comes to my mind.
Did you read to the end? I do appreciate your time here. God bless you always.
