Hello Steemians! Welcome to my diary for today, 18th August 2026.Today was one of those "home days" for me. I cleaned, cooked, rested, helped a friend and I really enjoyed my afternoon sleep. Let me gist you through how my day went

Morning and First Things

I went to bed really tired last night. I think it’s because I just got back from my auntie’s place. I’d been spending a few days there, but honestly I couldn’t sleep well. Home is always home sha

So this morning I woke up and slept like a baby. First thing I did was say my prayers. After that I just lay down and was scrolling through my phone.

I remembered there’s a course I registered for yesterday. I had started watching it yesterday but sleep caught me 😂 So I decided to check it again this morning.

I chatted a bit, then I got up to make something to eat. I was thinking garri and cold water, but I ended up preparing Indomie and custard instead. That’s what filled me up this morning.

After eating I still felt like resting small, so I lay down and was watching reels on Facebook.

Arranging and Cleaning

Next thing I checked the time and it was already past 10. I told myself “nah, you need to start your day.” I have that course I need to finish.

So first, I arranged the room because the place was scattered. I made the bed properly.

Then I went to my trolley, the things inside were scattered, not the trolley itself. So I arranged everything inside properly to fit.

After that I went to the kitchen to cook rice and stew. I noticed the pot was dirty so I just washed the pot. I boiled rice, about two and a half cups, using that medium-size tin tomato.

After i was done cooking the rice, I went out and got stew ingredients; i bought two cups of crayfish, fresh tomatoes, onions, and one big sachet of tomato paste. Came back and made the stew.

Chai, it came out really delicious. I had to blend the tomatoes and onions first before cooking.
After cooking, I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen top. Made sure everywhere was neat.

Then I came back to the room. I swept the whole room and mopped everywhere since I had only made the bed earlier.

Afternoon, Food and Rest

After cleaning, I wasn’t even hungry at first. I just sat on the bed and was surfing the internet. Next thing I knew, hunger hit me hard 😂 So I went to dish my food. I made sure to dish only the portion I could finish because I don’t like keeping leftovers. God, the food was so yummy. I have to give myself credit.

I ate everything. No single grain of rice was left on that plate. When I was done I dropped the plate and took my water.

It’s been a while since I watched a movie, so I remembered there’s this trending one on YouTube “One Chances.” I went ahead and downloaded it.

Oh, and during the day one of my friends called me. She needed me to lend her money. You know how it is with true friends, you always come through for each other. So I lent her the money. I’m just glad I had it at that moment when she needed it.

After all that, I told myself let me be serious and take that course first before watching the movie. It’s a recorded session on Telegram, so I planned to watch it on my laptop and use my phone for the practice at the same time.

But guess what? Sleep caught me again 😂 I couldn’t even fight it. I dropped everything and slept. Omo, I had a very good sleep. Like really good. It’s been a long while since I slept in the afternoon like that and I really enjoyed it.

By the time I woke up, it was already late and hunger was too much. I was so hungry that I didn’t even go to bath first. I just went straight to dish my dinner and eat. After eating, that was when I planned to go take my bath.

And that’s how I spent my whole day today. Thank you for reading through my diary 😊❤️
