The dairy game 4/3/26; Between daily Runs, Silent Pains and panic.

Early to bed and early to rise and vice-Versa but what happens when you go to bed late and try to rise early. Well, that was my ordeal today.

After binging on a movie I had seen the previous day again and having to write my diary game before retiring for the day, I obviously went to bed late at past 12am. I knew I was going to bed late and also knew the possible repercussions with that.

Knowing I was already late to sleep and yet sleep didn’t seem to be coming soon. I lay in bed tossing from one side to the other. Finally I think I drifted off to a not too deep sleep fraught with a bit of restlessness as there was no light and not much air seem to be coming in through the window. I was hot but had to still be under the net for fear of mosquitoes even though I had fleeted the room the other day. I’d rather endure the heat than be bitten by mosquitoes.

I thought I had just fallen asleep only to have my alarm go off by 5am. What? How did the time fly so much? I had barely slept, I thought to myself. I lay on my bed torn in-between Standing up and continuing to sleep. After all I slept late but whose fault was that? I had decided to be waking up early these days and doing something meaningful with my life before the world awakes.

buying tigernuts and dates

The other day I had gone for a walk and was supposed to do the same today but no strength. I closed my eyes again and drifted off for another fifteen minutes. You can’t do this, I told myself. Stand up girl. I did sit up on the bed and muttered my prayers with the little strength I could find. I sat up praying a while and also had time to do my Bible reading.

Then I proceeded to do a little learning about real estate till 7am and then joined my online NSPPD prayers. I had a time battling sleep. The disadvantage of sleeping late and waking up early and funny enough the same repeated itself today. Cos it’s almost 11pm and here I am and one funny thing is that sleep is far away from me as I tell you dear reader of my diary game.

I slept earlier in the afternoon, so how do I possibly get me to sleep early tonight. Well, let me continue telling you about my day. After the prayers, I had to sleep in a little, say for like another two hours and had to force myself awake by past 10am. I did my daily confession and attended to some things online and then had my bath and brushed my teeth.

It was time to fix brunch. It was past breakfast time. I told my friend I wanted to go to the market to buy plantain cos that was what I was craving. She wanted me to buy something for her and I ended up making her go with me. She literally ended up dragging us through the market in search of a board and stand for her content creation.

market here I go

We visited two stationary shops looking for what she wanted and comparing prices. And at the end of the day she didn’t see what she was looking for. We had to go buy some tiger nuts and dates and also bought the plantain. While we walked home, she wanted to go look at another shop for the board and stand and I headed home to cook brunch.

While in the market, I felt a sharp pain at my back. I had to manage to get home and fix the brunch but the pain became intense. I asked my friend to help press my back but she didn’t seem to be getting the tender spot. I managed to finish eating and laid down.

Just then the weather changed and it wanted to rain. I remember I had some clothes at home that I hadn’t brought in after washing since two days ago. I went to bring in the clothes and just at that instance, the pain on the right side of by chest returned. I was in severe pain and thought I was going to die.

my heap of washed clothes

I hurried up and put the clothes on the bed and laid down on the ground and had difficulty breathing down. The only thing I could say was I will not die. I couldn’t call for help cos my phone was with my friend who was using my hot spot as WiFi. I couldn’t stand up to go to her. I just laid down there praying and confessing that I won’t die.

I drifted off to sleep after a while and woke up two hours later. I didn’t tell my friend what happened to me. I didn’t know how to explain that experience. I am most grateful to be alive. The pain continued after I woke up. It intensifies when I sit or stand. I had to lie on my back for a while.

I had to take a pain reliever to feel better. The pain is still there but not as much. I may need to visit a clinic if it continues but I am hoping it doesn’t cos I am very rich now. After taking the pain reliever, my friend asked me to escort her to where she would get some clothes.

Into the night for shopping

The clothes shop

We strolled into the night and after some minutes walk, we arrived at the woman’s shop where we also met some ladies shopping. It’s a second hand clothes shop. The clothes are good and quite affordable. I sat by the corner as I watched them shop while I was blogging on my phone. We spent two hours there.

Beans and plantain for dinner

Then it was almost 10pm, we headed home and had to fix a late night dinner for two of us. We had beans and plantain as dinner and then I retired here to tell us about my day. I still feel pains on my back and inside my chest. I hope I feel better tomorrow else I may have to seek a medical opinion.

Do have a good night rest and don’t let the bed bug bite.
