The Diary Game 3: BetterLife with Steem (09/10/2022)

Hello friends on the steemit platform, we got up from bed with early morning rain 🌧. The weather was cold but I was feeling warm maybe because I’m still not feeling well. I got up from bed sluggishly and was not in the mode to go out to church. Everyone was still asleep and I decided to transcribe my diary of the previous day.

When I was done posting, the rain had stopped but the sky was cloudy 🌥. I went outdoor to relax a bit before doing my house chores. I did not stay for long because my kids were up from sleep. I had to heat water to bath them and made them breakfast. When they were done eating, I started doing my house chores.

My husband assisted to clean the house while I washed dirty dishes and pots in the kitchen. I had to prepare our lunch that early. I removed fresh fish from the refrigerator for my husband to help me to cut it into desirable sizes. I had to prepare other ingredients like peeling the garlic, onion and removed fresh tomatoes to blend for the sauce. I wanted to prepare tomatoes sauce with white yam and spaghetti for my kids.

Little did I know that electricity has gone off. Oh my goodness!! this was frustrating because I did not know how I will managed to blend the tomatoes. The quantity was much for me to even think of slicing it. I waited for about 2 hours and there was no sign that electricity will be back.

I had to reduce the quantity of the tomatoes and used the chopping board to sliced the tomatoes and prepare the sauce. I boiled rice and white yams separately to eat with the sauce as our lunch.

When I was done cooking, my sister called me to remind me of her daughter’s birthday. Her daughter was anxiously waiting that we should sing her happy birthday songs😂🤣. I sang the song and wish her well on her day. She was so happy and started eating her own cake.

Later during the day, I went to a nearby store to buy some items to bake my daughter’s snacks for school. I had some of the ingredients already at home, so I went to purchase part of the ingredients. But I will do the baking the next day because there was no electricity to do it.

In the evening hours, there was no hope of electricity coming back. It shows that we might spend the night in darkness. I took some fruits from the fridge to eat. After eating, I went to my neighbor to use his solar energy to recharge my phone.

My night ended prematurely because of no electricity as I went to bed early. Thank you for reading.
