The Diary Game: [ 21/09/2026] A Slow but Productive Day — Chores, Cooking and Studying

Hello, Steemit Family! It's yours truly, @venusta, welcome to another episode of my Diary Game.

Today was one of the days that started with little activity but got busier as the hours went by. I woke up when someone was shouting at my little sister to stop toying with my phone. Apparently, she entered my room and was playing with my phone. As she saw me stir from my sleep, she dropped my phone and dashed out of the room.

I said my morning prayers and made my bed. I went ahead to take my bath. On a normal day, I take my bath after my morning chore. But today I just decided to take my bath first. I dressed up in simple, comfortable clothes and headed to the kitchen.

My morning chore is washing the dishes. I really don't enjoy doing it, but I have no choice. The dirty plates weren't really much. They were just the ones we used to prepare for yesterday's dinner. I started washing while doing some active recall of the things I read yesterday.

After I was done washing, I started rinsing them and this was where things got a bit stressful because I had to walk across the kitchen to place different utensils in their proper places. I cleaned up the places where water had spilled after I was done.

I had my breakfast of beans and bread. I really love the food combination. I actually preferred beans with bread to beans with rice. I had my main meal and still went ahead to eat some more.

I quickly cleaned the plates and utensils used for breakfast to prevent them from piling up. I started playing the Word Cookies game on my mom's phone afterward.

In the afternoon, I helped to wash the bitter leaf vegetable in preparation for lunch. I had to wash it thoroughly to remove some of its green juice and reduce its bitter taste. I washed it for some time and added a few drops of palm oil to it when it started foaming. The oil helped to dissolve the foam. I squeezed out the greenish liquid from it and rinsed the residue with clean water.

I steamed the vegetables and prepared the soup while my mom prepared the swallow. I ate a generous plate of semovita with vegetable soup. I was really satisfied. I was tired, so I didn't wash the utensils and plates used immediately after eating.

After resting for an hour, I started studying. I revised my previous notes and got busy with the things I had to learn today. I studied chemistry for two hours, then I answered past questions for 40 minutes.

^{Reading my books.}

In the evening, I went for a walk around my neighborhood and I took this picture of the moon through the branches of a tree.

I really had a great day and I'm happy with how I spent it.
