THE DIARY GAME: (15-12-2025) A Day Of Rest

Hello everyone, season's greetings to you all!! Time is 7:48pm (WAT) and I'm here once again on today's edition of The Diary Games!! As always, this is my favorite part of the day where I get to share with you all about how my day went. And trust me guys, today's edition promises to be the most interesting yet!! So guys, sit tight y'all as you read along. Thank you 🙂

So today, being Monday, the 15th day of December 2025 began In a very peaceful note. Usually, my Mondays are never easy, atleast not in the morning. But today was different 'cause I already knew since the weekend of last week that i wouldn't be going to work today. I am officially closing for the year!! It is not a company thing whatsoever, the decision to summarize the year at this point was purely personal. Firstly, I intend travelling to Calabar tomorrow, the Capital City of Cross River, the home of the famous Calabar Carnival which is the Biggest Street Party in Africa!! My whole family is based in Calabar and they've all been urging me not to miss the Xmas festivities this year. So with that, I had already decided I wouldn't be going to work today, atleast so I can take today off and fix things in order for tomorrow's movement

So I called my Boss who's the tiler man I have been working with for the past two weeks, informing him about my impending travel plan and asking him to forgive me for whatever inconvenience my absence will probably cause him. He understood the situation on ground and gave me the green light, even wishing me a safe trip tomorrow as well. So after the call, I went back to sleeping again, I slept until it was 9am!! I haven't slept that long in months!! atleast not on a Monday!! So after I finally got up the bed, I brushed my mouth and went outside looking for where I can charge my phone since I was running low on battery. Luckily, a laundry shop close by, owned by a friend called Jimmy was open and the laundry man was ironing a few clothes. So I went in and plugged my phone to charge. After plugging, I went back home since Jimmy's shop has some level of security I can trust. I know my phone is safe in his shop. So on getting back home, I soaked the few dirty clothes in water mixed with detergent, let it soak for some minutes while I did the dishes. After doing the dishes, I ordered for two 35cl bottles of soy milk from my neighbor who specializes in the production and sale of soy and tiger nuts drinks and did justice to the soy milk without delay!! 😅 I have come to the realization that my system is very much compatible with soy milk as it is usually very filling and helps me relax. After finishing the two bottles of soy milk drink, I noticed I was beginning to feel drowsy and so I spread one of my wrappers on the floor and laid down to rest. I couldn't sleep on the mattress 'cause I was feeling a bit hot and needed some sort of coldness. After some minutes resting, I got up and went back to the laundry shop to collect my phone.

By this time, the laundry man had already put off his generator. After picking up my phone, I went back home. It was barely 33% charged and so I knew I had to manage the battery until electricity comes on or until I go out to charge. On getting home, I got back to sleeping again. If I must confess, it's been a day of sleeping after sleeping!! At about 2pm in the afternoon, I got up and noticed I was feeling hungry. So I made garri swallow commonly called eba in Nigeria and ate in the soup I had prepared yesterday evening. After eating, I tried scrolling through my phone just to keep myself busy and updated with happenings around the world, but in no time, I'd dosed off again. After about an hour or so, at this point it was about 20mins past 3pm, I got up the floor where I was lying down, proceeded to wash out the clothes I had soaked earlier and then spread them on the clothes' line. After the laundry, I poured some water into my bathing bucket and went to the bathroom to have my bath. After the shower, I felt a bit hungry again and so I made a little swallow (eba) again, warmed the soup and ate. After eating, I took my charger and left the house to go see a friend who's a fashion designer. This was so I can charge my phone should he put ON his generator. While at this my fashionista friend's shop, I saw a guitar and I tried a few strokes as well ! 😅 It was quite a fun moment I must say!! During the time I was trying to play the guitar, electricity came on and so I plugged my phone to charge as I ordered for a bottle of chilled coca cola drink from a drinking joint close by. It was a really fulfilling evening. The light was on for almost an hour as I gulped on my glass of chilled coca cola drink. Few minutes later, I was done drinking and so I paid and left. I also unplugged my phone as well before leaving. Feeling fresh and not feeling like going back home at that point, I decided to take a walk along the road. I strolled for over 30 minutes before I started feeling tired. So with the little energy I had left in me, I was finding my way back home. At this point, it was almost 7pm already. I slowly walked home since I was in no rush. As I walked, I could see myself admiring the beauty of nature and people rushing and finding their way home from work, others from different commitments of the day. This made me give God even more glory for how wonderful and all powerful he is!! Eventually, I got home at last. Not feeling hungry whatsoever because it wasn't long I ate, I just peacefully laid on the bed scrolling through different websites on my phone. I do not feel sleepy at the moment though and I am not sure I have plans or any intention of going anywhere else tonight, except in the event of an emergency or if I later decide to go watch The English Premier League match scheduled for 9pm between Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth. But for now, I guess that's all on today's episode of how my day went. Should there be any more activities tonight, I promise to include such on the next episode. So, bye for now. See you all next time on another edition!! I love you all...😘🥰
