#ULOG 008, A VERY HECTIC DAY... 😢

You know those days when all you really wanted to do is cry but when people ask how you doing, you still managed a smile and say I'm fine 😢. That's how I feel today.

Today is one of the most hectic day of my life since this year began. There's more to come over the next couple of days.

Still in the mood for preparation for dad's burial ceremony, a lot of plans and logistics have been ongoing. After series of meetings with in-laws and relatives, progress has been made and conclusions reached. A family relative suggested that we come get cassava from his farm for processing into garri as his little contribution and support to the forth coming burial ceremony.

My sister didn't inform me that I'll be going with them to the farm last night. She woke me up very early this morning to go with them so we could finish the first phase quickly to enable her go prepare for work.

So we left for farm this morning. The farm road wasn't motorable. So, we had to stop by the road side and took the foot path leading to the farm. We got to the farm and had the cassava ready within an hour. Taking it home was the big deal. I used to be very strong but I just noticed I'm not as strong as I used to be 😢. The bag of cassava I carried was so heavy that I could collapse from the weight. It was like I had the world on my chest. To make matters worse, the road to the farm was so bad and it was a hill at some point, making the journey look like forever. #Deep sigh#.
Finally, we got to the major road where my sister parked her car.

Got home, had to prepare breakfast and lunch while my sister and a few other neighbors assisted in peeling the cassava. In no time, they were done. The seeming mountain was levelled. I was very happy. That's the power of synergy.

I rested a while and waited for evening when I'd have to take the cassava to the grinding mill. I had to use a wheel barrow haven waited for my sister to return from work so we could use her car and she wasn't forth coming.

I left the grinding mill for the house to go prepare for church. It's Annual Youth Program. I missed last year's as it Coincided with my service year. I'm home now and still can't participate because I have a lot on my plate. Not totally happy about that but I'm consoled by one thing; this too shall pass.

It's #ulogs. It doesn't have to be a perfect story. That's what makes you a celebrity and we your fans. Just know that whatever unpleasant situation you're going through will also pass. Stay strong and look forward to better days ahead.
