The diary game.Taking care of my ill mom, balancing Family Duties, Work, and a Long Day Out

Hello, dear friends! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and enjoying your time with your loved ones, no matter where you are. Today, I want to share another day of my life with you all. I hope you find some time to read my post and that you find it enjoyable enough to upvote.

Today, my mom had an appointment with the doctor, and for that reason I had already told her to get up very early in the morning, as we had to leave on time. Unfortunately, I had gone to sleep very late at night, so waking up early was quite difficult. I had not completed my sleep and felt very sleepy when I got up, but since I had to take my mother to the doctor, I could not sleep any longer. I got up, freshened myself, and started my day by offering the morning prayers. Meanwhile, my mom had already prepared breakfast, and it was time to eat. After finishing my breakfast, I started my car, but frost had already covered the front windshield, so I had to clean it before leaving.

Although I began driving on time, it still took me more than an hour to reach the clinic. This was because one of the bridges we normally use to cross the river had recently been declared unfit for traffic due to scouring near one of its piers. Because of this, we now have to take a longer route, moving around the town for about 1 km through narrow streets and then using another bridge, which is not very wide but is still helpful in this situation. I took a so-called shortcut to the clinic which actually passes through a residential area, but it helped us reach on time.

When we reached the clinic, we got our names registered among the people already waiting. My name was entered at number 30. Eighteen patients had already been examined, so I had to wait for eleven more before our turn. After the consultation and all necessary formalities were completed, we headed back home. I again needed to be quick because a technician had arrived at our place to shift the LPG cylinder from the kitchen cabinet to outside the house as a safety measure. Since I am usually involved in most of the household work, my brother asked me to reach home quickly so that I could help the technician with the required items.

After reaching home, I was asked to bring some items from a nearby village. It took longer than expected because the shopkeeper was not present, and I had to contact him over the phone and wait for him to return. Later, I had to fill the gaps in the concrete floor where a pipe had been laid, using plaster of Paris, which also took some time. By then, it was already evening.

After that, I went to the market to buy groceries and other items I had been asked to bring. I usually consider this an opportunity to spend some time outside because I do not go out very often. I also enjoy it because I get to meet my friends at my friend’s shop. Time always passes quickly when I am with them.

At around 8:30 PM, I returned home. Later, at around 9:30 PM, I had my dinner. After that, I did some office work, as I needed to update the portal, which took almost an hour. At around 11:30 PM, I finally went to bed and called it a day.

Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
