The diary game: [14/05/2026] market and work day

Me today.

Today I felt like everyone could see right through me. It started at 3 AM was wide awake, staring at the ceiling while my brain ran through every “what if” for the day ahead. Sleep was gone, and stress was in charge. By 6 AM, I gave up, did my devotion, and started my morning chores.

While I was busy with the chores, my mind was still stuck on the long day ahead. I had my bath, got dressed, and ate bread and egg for breakfast quick and light, because I was running late.

Breakfast.

I’m a fashion designer, and today was market day,fabrics to check and designs to start working on.

Fabrics.

The market felt a bit different today. So many colors, so many patterns. In fact, I almost bought double what I needed because everything was pretty. At 12 PM, I finally dragged myself out, sweating and carrying bags. The sun wasn’t friendly at all. On my way to the shop, I grabbed something chilled just to stay alive.

If you know me, you’ll know I don’t joke with food. It was already 1 PM, and I was starving and exhausted, so I stopped at a local spot for lunch.

After eating, it was straight to work. I had just finished cutting two shirts and was about to start sewing when I got a call from an unknown number. Apparently, she’d gotten my number from my TikTok, and she wanted me to make an aso-ebi dress for her sister’s wedding next month. I was happy I’d gotten a client from my TikTok page. I liked the way she talked, and we bonded immediately. We chatted like we’d known each other for a while. She picked her style and made payment within an hour of our conversation. This was the first time I’d experienced that, and I was happy. I almost forgot I had a lot of jobs to finish. I got carried away by the conversation. For the first time today, the stress didn’t feel heavy. I managed to finish one of the shirts I’d cut earlier, but by then it was late and time to head home for dinner. I was dreading cooking, and the thought of it made me nauseous. Then I walked in and saw my mum handling it. In that moment, I was the happiest person alive. I took the win, rested, and watched an interesting movie.

I scrolled through social media for hot gists and trending news. I bathed, and it was time for dinner. I had hot eba and delicious ogbono soup that my mum made it was really delicious, and I enjoyed it.

I got a bit bored after eating and decided to share how my day went. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I needed to write it. I love you all here on steemit.
