The diary game 17/3/26; “Between Strength and Exhaustion: My Tuesday Story”

Dear dairy,

Some days come in more challenging than the other, some come in slower and some in quick succession having to make you stand on your toes all through. So was my Tuesday. Before I tell you all about it, let’s take a little dive backwards.

I woke up and joined my early morning prayers on YouTube, after which I had time to do my bible studies and my daily declaration. Somehow I have come to bring myself to that point where I speak what I want to see in my life and not what I am going through.

If the power of life and death lies in the tongue, why not I make a good use of it. After my confession came the majestic stroll to the kitchen. Well, my stomach needs the service. What else shall I have for breakfast?

Kitchen duties

breakfast is ready

Oats, oats, oats. That’s what we seem to have readily available this season and what shall a babe do except to help herself. I quickly made the oats and back to the room to enjoy it with a chocolate mix. Not my favorite though but since the milk is finished, I could make do with what’s available cos if the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable.

After eating breakfast, I went to work briefly on my laptop. I was making another statement compilation for dad but this time around it’s a personal Statement compilation unlike the other one that I did which was a work compilation.

I was on the statement till 12pm. Then we went online for our daily live stream on Facebook which happens 12-1pm Mondays to Fridays. After the live show, I had plans to go to the market to get the stuffs I would be using to create contents for the learning challenge for week 3.

After writing my list, the money was quite reasonable. Sometimes I spend so much just to participate in the learning challenge and it’s always encouraging when they get voted or supports or they get to be selected as top posts.

Market runs

cheap potatoes

The market was quick and soonest I was back to start the content creation. I was having this sickly and dizzy feeling when I came back from the market but I wasn’t going to let that deter me. I had already made up my mind to make the contents so that I could post them later.

For those of us who do steemit challenge often especially the ones that require cooking, we know that it can be a lot when you have to make the food and capture everything in the process.

I made the potato kebab first and ate from it and also shared with sis and then I proceeded to make the paise. My the time I was done, I was already getting tired and it was evening but I was determined to just finsh everything.

So I proceeded to make the vegetable momos too. This also took a large portion of time. I finished around 8pm which means that I took over 5 hours to make the three recipes. I was tired and my feet was hurting from standing for so long. I had to massage it a little and had a little relieve.

I honestly didn’t believe that it would take so much time just to make those three contents. So you see what we go through to be actively participating in the learning challenge. Remember we still have to work on the pictures and come to our blog to still do the writing.

I’ve just come to know that there’s nothing you do to make money that’s easy. Money is among thorns they say. After resting my feet a little while, I and sis went for a walk that night. We had to engage in the family bonding challenge too and it was really a great time of bonding for me and her as we gisted and made the night lighter.

fetching water to bath

It was therapeutic for me having the cool night breeze on my face. When we came back, there was no water to bath. The light issues has been lingering for sometime and I had to go get water from the first floor. I was already tired. Sis helped me carry the water to the room and I was able to have my bath and rest.

I couldn’t really eat anything reasonable as dinner because of all the plenty tasting here and there of the challenge recipes. I was hungry in the night but there was no strength left to cook anything. I had to drink water and retired for the night. Hopefully to eat when I wake up in the morning.

It was really a challenging day for me and I was glad that I could achieve that level of work I did. I am bent on growing my blogging experience and I do hope to get all the necessary support and help this period.

Thank you for coming through on my diary. See you next time.
