The Diary Game [28/03/2025] // My Day in Reflection

Steem greetings @everyone from the motherland-Cameroon and welcome to my blog as I share my day in reflection. There are some days that you plan on accomplishing a task and it happens that you fail to consider unforeseen circumstances before saying “… I must accomplish this task today”. That was me with my full chest planning on rounding off my work tasks for the month before travelling out of town hehehehe.

My day started at about 2:30 AM as the SC06 account was fully charged for use. I got up from sleep and cleaned my face to clear off the sleep in my eyes. I search across the platform from one community to another and also check personal blogs and curate till 6:00 AM.

I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my kids while my husband assisted in the bath and dressing them up. I had to peel some potatoes to fry with an omelette as breakfast for the kids. I always feed them myself in the morning to ensure they are properly fed well before leaving the house.

Today it happens that I had to take my toddler son to work. I often do that especially when I do not have any fieldwork to do. I was supposed to work onseat the whole day. Guess what, it was a bad idea this time around as it happened that he could not allow me to do anything. He was just all over me, does not want me to work but to carry him and sit and watch places. After several hours wasted, I finally got him to sleep. Notwithstanding, immediately I placed him on the crib I put in the office, my baby refused and got up crying. All through I had to carry him on me to sleep.

^{That moment you get frustrated as a mother🤦‍♀️}

My day was further ruined by the unannounced blackout. I had no other choice but to end work prematurely and return home. My plans to travel were cancelled and I had to work overnight when the blackout was over.

While at home, I took the opportunity to prepare dinner for the family. My kids were already back from school. I prepare Coki and plantains for our dinner. It was easy for me to prepare because I already had washed blended beans in the freezer and I just forcefully defrosted it and cooked it.

In the evening hour, the blackout was over, I washed all the dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I engaged in my unaccomplished tasks in the office. While doing the work, I felt sleepy and tired. I had to pop some corn to eat while working. I thought it would help to distract me from sleeping.

^{Popcorn to distract me from sleeping.}

Gosh, I got it all wrong that I cannot cheat nature. I ate all the corn and it still did not help in any way. I gave up and decided to sleep for some hours and wake up at night to complete the work. Guys, I only woke up at 11:45 PM and boom no electricity. I gave up and had a good night's sleep. Until my next diary session, happy weekend to you all. May our day be blessed.
