Hello beautiful women of @steemwomensclub, it is good to be here again. This is how my day went. Please read through my diary.

INTRODUCTION

I had troubles sleeping so I woke up by 2am to use the toilet and thereafter, I ate little rice and drink hot tea. I was so hungry that I did not mind eating by that time. After eating, I relax a little lying by the side hoping that the stomach upset will calm a little and it did after some time. My baby woke up almost the same time and he also had some tea and breast milk to compliment it. He slept off almost immediately and I also did. When it was few minutes past 6am, I got out to pee and remembered I was supposed to call someone the previous night and since she may not take my calls that early, I decided to send her a text message and I am glad I took that decision.

MORNING

After using the toilet and sending the text message, I went back to sleep. I was so weak and sleepy and needed to get some more sleep. I and baby slept and immediately I jumped out from bed, it was already few minutes before 9am. I rushed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for hubby but he reminded me of the 12days fasting and praying that commenced today in church. We were encouraged to fast as our strength could carry and everyday for the 12days, we would come to church to pray together as a family. Nursing mothers and those on drugs were exempted from fasting but should also pray.

We were given a booklet on what each day's prayer contain and the bible passages so that we could pray even at home, in offices or our shops before coming to church in the evening.

AFTERNOON

In the afternoon, I made a pot of delicious melon soup. Since I am free, I decided to prepare it before going to church so that we will eat as soon as we get back from church. These are my ingredients.

I have;

Melon
Crayfish, seasoning cubes and salt
Stockfish, dryfish and meat
Palm oil
Water leaf
Okazi leaf
Fresh pepper

How I Prepared my Soup

I boiled my meat, stockfish and dryfish
Chopped my water leaf
Grinded my crayfish and pepper.

After boiling my meat with the crayfish, salt, seasoning and pepper until it is soft, I added oil and allowed to boil very well. After this, I added melon, allowed it to boil and added my water leaf. I allowed my water leaf to bring out its water before adding my okazi leaf and my soup is ready. It is quite simple to make.

EVENING

As soon as we came back home from church, we ate and retired to bed. Best regards
