Can I be more active again?
"Your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger, and living a fulfilling, happier and healthier life".
I slept in my room last night and I felt great relief again. This is what I have been wanting for two weeks or more since I got to my Aunt's place but it seems the days were getting longer the more I keep counting down to when I would leave.
I complained of backache due to stress and draining of my body that made me inactive for those days and every night, I sleep with a sad mind that I didn't do much online and that alone was affecting my account too. Every night, I would use paracetamol just to keep strong for the next day's work again and it continued that way for two weeks.
I left her place yesterday on a journey back to my abode, as usual, it was a stressful journey but I am glad I am back to resuming activities online and getting more active.
When my aunt saw I would be leaving, she felt sad and already missed me but I just had to go. I was so affected in my body that standing for a few minutes became a problem as I developed pain around my legs and hips.
After working, I would still be the one to prepare the three meals in a day, I wasn't complaining about cooking, no I didn't but I need rest too but when it is getting to taking full rest at night only while the day would be to run up and down, go there, go here without sitting down, it becomes a big problem.
As I said, she is really a workaholic that doesn't rest. She took three tablets of paracetamol on Sunday night and I was shocked. I told her she should only take two tablets and that three was much. She replied saying she has been taking three and has been used to it, in fact, three is what works for her to be stronger for the next day. I reminded her to always take her rest but she would only nod her head in a positive way but she has in mind what to do.
My Aunt would be relocating soon back to our state, though she would rent a house somewhere not very far from our hometown so she could always see her mother too. She already told everyone she would stop dry-cleaning work but it baffled my sister to hear that she is still receiving clothes to wash till now.
The work she does all alone is too much for her age and only if she would consider her health too. She likes to work and one thing about her is that she never leaves anyone to do the work but wanting us to be like her is always my problem.
I like to work but when it's becoming something I have to sacrifice my health with, it's expensive and I can't do it.
When I left her home yesterday, I was relieved and happy too even though she wanted me to stay but she was happy also that I helped her to do the major work which she is satisfied with but why did she want me to stay more is help her prepare meals so it won't be like working all day and still go to the kitchen to make her meals but it is not possible to be with her forever even if I needed to stay some more time. The day I would leave will come and definitely, I will go. That is life. When you keep postponing your day of leaving a particular place and someday you still would leave, so nothing is permanent in this world except you live a holy life to live eternally with Christ.
I did a surprise for my friends here as I didn't inform anyone of my coming except the lady I call my bestie who has always been helping to take care of my room when I am not around.
I was even surprised they killed a big snake days ago and I was happy it didn't hurt anyone. According to my bestie, the snake was trying to enter her room when she was not around but couldn't and had to lie still on a table beside her room. Thank God it didn't enter because if it does, no one would know. She will never know she is living with a snake inside, only for the snake to keep coming out and going in whenever it likes. People came in at the right time and killed it.
Everyone was happy to see me as they were carrying and shaking me, Lol. When I got home, I had to take care of my room and did some things in there. Before I left some months ago, I had already done some work and that made it a little less easy for me yesterday.
By the time I finished after three hours, I took a nap and rested before coming online to do something.
This morning, I woke up feeling great and I know it would be an amazing week for me here without anyone disturbing me again.
I hope you enjoyed my rant this morning😁

I was enjoying your story before catching up on the part your Aunt took 3 paracetamol in one go. The use of paracetamol is associated with increased rates of death, heart attack, stomach bleeding and kidney failure. Overdose of Paracetamol is known to cause liver failure, but it also causes liver failure in people taking standard doses for pain relief. The risk is only about one in a million, but it is a risk. All these different risks stack up. Please do guide your aunty. 📌 📌 📌
