The dairy game 22/3/25 - From rants to cake; the chronicles of an assistant birthday girl.

Dear dairy
How do you start off a day that started way before the day came? Well, you may be asking why I made the statement. What else could it be if not that I haven’t rested from the beginning of the week due to the emphasis about this day.

One may ask, what’s the fuss about? Well, it’s someone’s birthday and she wouldn’t let me rest all through the week because of her birthday. It was a week full of ranting. I couldn’t eat or sleep in peace.

Why are you eating without me she would ask? Don’t you know it’s my birthday week. Why are you sleeping when it’s my birthday week? Hahaha and so on it went. I couldn’t wait for the week to finish. I couldn’t wait for the day to finally come so I could rest and here’s the day finally.

service on going

With weary legs I got up from my bed to prepare for church service. Who knows the amount of drama that awaits me today. If I couldn’t rest from the week, how about today? We headed for church service. A quick and warm one it was with some fiery preaching to top it up.

We proceeded to have workers meeting which lingered for a while but soonest we were done. I sat by the corner waiting for the birthday girl to finsh up and join me. I had to munch on a meat pie from the store and just when she showed up, she said how are you eating meat pie on my birthday without me?

I couldn’t help but laugh. I had to buy her meat pie and some juice so we could have some peace. It’s her birthday after all. After buying the meat pie, we had to proceed to look for a good spot for birthday food take out. Sis said she wanted to eat roasted chicken and some good food. Roasted chicken off we went to look for.

Finally we found the place. They sold chicken, turkey, fish and some other type of food too. Their food was not too pricey though. We bought roasted chicken, Okoro soup and swallow for the celebrant and we headed home.

I was already tired and hungry but the business of the day was not yet done. I had to look for where to get a birthday cake for the celebrant and some drinks. I was able to see a small but sizeable cake and I also got some juice from the supermarket. I also branched to a nearby market to get some fresh tomatoes and pepper for the omelette I wanted to make.

hey cake

I gave sis a suprise for her birthday cake. She didn’t know I was going to buy cake. I just told her that I was going to buy tomatoes but I had extra plans. I got the cake and the drinks for her and she was really very happy. We cut the cake and had some time chatting.

Then it was time to eat. Well, I didn’t have strength to continue the cooking I had intended to do. Sis was generous to share her birthday food with me but not the chicken 🤣. And as the assistant birthday girl, I ate along.

food calls

The rest of the evening was spent on my phone watching movies and by 9pm, I prepared the bread, omelette and tea and had that for dinner. I also had a meeting which so attended my 9-10pm. After that it was time to call it quits for the day but now after another batch of film binging before I retired for the night.

Birthday was done and dusted and I was glad that I could now rest from all the birthday shenanigans from sis. I was glad she enjoyed her day and I was happy to play the assistant birthday girl card.
