Stressing isn't made for me

Anyways, it's the weekend and let me do a little bit of ranting which could actually take less than 5 mins for today. You might take with you something though, but I still do not know how, but I trust my reader to go home with something here. Thank God it's Saturday and the next day would be another week. Always looking for a new week as it keeps going just that way.

I woke up yesterday as usual at 6pm, observed my morning devotion and some exercises since my goal is to have a flat tummy, and I am glad it's bringing me good results. I will have a flat tummy soon and my Sister will stop making fun of me. In fact, because of this, I had to skip dinner and stop eating once it's 6pm and also started "No mineral week" on Monday.

Even though I was tempted to buy one as I am used to it, I had to discipline myself but I wouldn't believe it if someone were to tell me I won't take minerals for a whole week. Like, seriously? Most times, I take two bottles of Malt daily and a week won't go without taking more than 5 minerals. It's part of what is contributing to my tummy and since I have disciplined myself, which will continue next week, I am good to go. This means I can actually live without taking minerals.

If you can live without a particular thing, then you can do anything you desire.

Okay, I thought the day would go smoothly just as I had imagined. A friend came to stay with me pending the time she would finish her project as she already told me before, but I couldn't turn her down because I don't know what will happen in future. Do what you can for people if it's in your capacity and even if you aren't doing it, don't make it a fight. Remember I said we need to build bridges and not burn them.

She was staying with us before but didn't plan everything well. Immediately after she finished her last paper, she packed everything and went home, not thinking about her project, all because her rent was due and couldn't pay again. At least paying for a month isn't bad but since she has packed everything, she decided to stay with me till she is through. Even when the room isn't convenient for me with her, I couldn't disallow her. I would have to be patient.

Alright, I got up and quickly prepared a meal for both of us which she ate and went her way dealing with her project. I was inside playing my interesting game when I saw a notification on WhatsApp from my supervisor. She told me to send a soft copy of my front page, references and other content in Chapter 5. Immediately I saw it, I jumped out of bed and started working on them.

After two hours, I sent everything to her and within 3 minutes, she replied back with corrections. I had to use all my time to work on the corrections which I forwarded again to her and by the time I checked the time, it was 5pm and I was so stressed.

"Once I have overworked myself, I don't like myself at that moment especially when it has come to something in a hurry".

I never thought she would attend to us online as the school has gone for a break giving all lecturers a 2 weeks holiday which started this Monday. So, I was thinking when they resume, they will attend to us. Seeing her message yesterday surprised me.

I took an hour's nap because I couldn't do anything online. When I woke up, I washed my plates, took my shower and I was energized to work online.

Firstly, there is an ongoing weekly challenge by Dreemport on Hive in which we need to write a post to report our progress. I jumped on my laptop and wrote my article which I submitted to the Dreemport site, coupled with visiting 5 articles on the site which are among the tasks.

I am already a moderator on hive and given 2-3 hours daily to work, I had to check all latest articles for the challenge in the community and by the time I was through attending to all, I was so tired that I opened ReadCash to see if I would have the strength to even reply all comments on my posts. I closed the tab back because I couldn't do anything.

It was getting to 10pm and I switched off my laptop and watched a 2 hours movie but I fell asleep while watching it. I woke up feeling so weak but had to get up at 7:30am when I started writing this article.

That is all for now and how my day went yesterday. I hope I am already pardoned?

Thanks for reading.
