THE DIARY GAME| BETTER LIFE|(2021.06.07) Today was effective than past few days.

Sri Lanka is still on a lockdown because of this prevailing COVID19 situation. People in here can go out only for essential services like health and those who are engaged in jobs in health and security fields are also allowed to go out. So, rest of us are stucked at our homes for more than a month and now our lives have become monotonous.

But today my daily routine changed for a little bit and now I am about to tell you how.

Normally I start my day with a cup of tea but today I drank 'Samahan' which is a medicinal drink instead as I have cold. That drink actually cured my illness for some extend. There was this really bad ache in my ears and that was reduced thanks to Samahan. I feel energized and that is why I thought I shoud do something effective today.

I was planing to do gardening by weeding since so many grasses have grown tall but things didn't happen as the way I expected. After having breakfast, the little daughter of my cousin who is also our nearest neighbour came to our house to play and spend some time.First I had a little chat with her. Then I drew some pictures on a paper for her to colour with her platinums and she eagerly did it. She is 3 years old and loves coloring.

After colouring she felt boared and we decided to go outside and play. She normally can't stay in a same place or do a same thing for more than 30 minutes. She is active. So we began to play with a ball there is a lime tree with full of limes near the place we played in our garden. Little girl plucked and gave a riped lime fruit to me. Then I made a lime juice for her as she loves it. She insisted to add pepper. Yes, pepper enhance the taste of lemonade.

While she drinks, I helped my mother to prepare lunch and here is the potato curry made by me. It wasn't that delicious though. Something was lacking in the taste. I am not clever in cooking that much. I still have lot to learn. So, these days with this free time I engaged in cooking with my mother.

Little girl went to her home after drinking and I read a great story book after having lunch. It was at about 8pm when I finished reading it. That book was so interesting that I didn't feel the time passing. Reading actually is my favorite hobby and I specialy love to read horro stories. This story was about a boy ghost who helps his siblings in hard times.

Our exams are postponed but I didn't forget to study for a few time as my habbit of studying has gone completely and I wanted to brush up it again. But I studied only 3 pages because it was boaring. I know I must dedicate to study more but I have become so lazy because of this long free time.

I spent earlier days by looking at the phone or TV most of the time. So, thanks to the little kid and the story book, today was different a little bit than past few days with lockdown. And I am happy that I could study at least 3 pages today.
