Not Coffee, but Tea last night worked
"Every sunrise gives you a new beginning and a new ending. Let this morning be a new beginning to a better relationship and a new ending to the bad memories. Its an opportunity to enjoy life, breathe freely, think and love. Be grateful for this beautiful day".
Do not feel so sad if you do not meet your target for the day when all you just do is to lazy around, sleep, lie down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, or just wandering about everywhere while you keep shutting your eyes off your laptop or phone and decides you don't feel like working online. Things like this are normal on some days because you can't control what happens each day but there is a way to balance them up and make up for the day you´d missed. I wouldn't blame those complaining for not trying to come online due to stress at work or whatever they are doing, we cannot deprive our bodies of the rest it needs.
I woke up yesterday morning feeling excited about attending our church and back home, ate my food and slept for a few hours. At that moment, I wasn't in the mood to do anything. I thought I should just give myself a break for the day while I resume work the next day, but I think my mood changed after taking enough rest even without putting off the clothes I wore to Church. Thank God for the light that made me put on the fan while I enjoyed the air from the ceiling fan.
No one disturbs me, unlike back in school, you can´t sleep peacefully in the afternoon, there will be noises everywhere to wake you up from that sleep and leave you alone to start hissing silently inside, but you do not have a choice.
At 6pm, I already ate the remaining rice that was in the kitchen while my siblings prepared a solid meal for themselves. I was already filled up. Grandma was surprised when I told her I am already okay for the night. I took my system to the sitting room as the network in my room was fluctuating. The network is actually bad here but at least I am trying my best. The funny part about this network is that 4G doesn't work, but 3G. Isn't 4G more powerful than 3G? Lol. My hometown is kinda funny.
I worked on my system from 6pm to 10pm without getting tired and I was able to cover many activities. Switching from Readcash to Hive, back to Blurt and it was so fun last night to me. I never failed to reply to chat on WhatsApp too.
At 10pm, I decided to take a shower and return back to work. I ordered my sister to prepare my Milo and Milk. I bought these beverages while coming here so I can have something to enjoy because Grandma wouldn't leave the one with her alone. She wants to consume all alone. If you have your money, you will drink tea except on days where everybody would want to take bread and tea for breakfast.
After taking my shower, I went back to the sitting room. My dad had just finished eating and slept on the long chair in the sitting room. He was actually resting before he finally retired to his room. I was busy with my work while sipping the tea slowly into my mouth and it felt like my activeness was activated into my system and I kept working like a machine not ready to stop anytime soon.
I continued my warm and thick tea while my eyes were opened to engage more on readcash as I already attended to the posts submitted in the Ecotrain community.
Thereafter, I took my phone and opened my light reader app to continue the book “Living well, spending less”. I am already in Chapter 6, part two of the book that talks about Spending less. I read for 25 mins which I closed and returned back to readcash since I have nothing else to do apart from read.
When it was 11:30pm, I switched to Netflix to watch a movie. It was a Korean movie I have watched before titled “Vincenzo”. I just can't stop watching the movie because of the action that was involved. I really enjoyed how Vincenzo Cassano played his role throughout the episodes and watching it over again makes it more interesting as I already forgot some parts of the episodes.
Then after an hour of watching an episode, I logged into my Discord app where a simple question I asked a user on Hive turned into a long conversation. I got to know more about him and we spent almost 2hours chatting and discussing Hive. When it was 2am, I excused myself to sleep because by 6am, Grandma would ring her bell again and yes, she did. Lol
I didn't have enough sleep at all. Perhaps, the tea I drank delayed my sleep. After the family´s prayer, I went inside for my personal prayer for 30mins, then started my exercise and went outside, took a walk round the house twice with jogging thrice. I am glad I came home because I wouldn't be able to have more time like this, especially having to jog and walk around the big house five times.
Now, I am ready for today as I am preparing my second song to be posted on hive this week. I actually did a song last week, so you can check it out if you are on hive.
Thanks for reading.

It sweet to give oneself a simple sweet treat after long work to relax. Simple things are interesting to enjoy...
