A day with wife and kid: My diary on 22.12.2020

I woke up at around 6 am in the morning, then performed my Fajr prayer. Following the prayer I did some dua and Dhikr. I also recited a few verses of Surah Yasin with English translation. It is a beautiful surah. If we are able to, we should memorise this Surah In Sha Allah.

Then I drank warm water with honey, ate cumin seeds and 3 almond seeds as well. Afterwards, I walked on the treadmill for more than half an hour. I try to walk daily and make at least 10000 steps per day. Because, according to the health experts, to remain healthy, one person should have 10k steps in a day. Sedentary lifestyle contributes to a lot of major health issues e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypertension, lipid disorders, obesity. To tackle these, we need to move, we need to exercise. Walking is a good form of exercise.

Come back to my diary. After the walk, I sat on the laptop and started browsing the internet. Some times later, my son woke up and then my work-day started. Today was not a clinic job, rather I took charge to take care and spend time with my kid. This way, my wife can get some relaxation time at home and do what she loves doing; cooking.

After having breakfast, we (me and son) went to the front-yard and played for more than half an hour. Although it was sunny, there was little wind and cold outside. So, we came back home after half an hour. Then I swiped the flood and mopped it. Everyday my wife used to do the swiping and mopping. Today I did. Then I cleaned our toilet floor. Afterwards, I took a bath. It was Zuhr time already. So, after the bath, I performed my Zuhr prayer. Then made my son take his afternoon nap.

We had our lunch with rice and chicken curry after 1 pm. Then I sat on the laptop for an hour and browsed various sites. Then I took my afternoon nap as well. Today the full family took the afternoon nap. I woke up after 4:30 pm. Quickly took preparation and performed my Asr prayer. Then took my son out for play again. We played till the Maghrib adhan. After returning home, I performed my Maghrib prayer. Following the prayer, I talked with my father and mother over Facebook Messenger. When Isha time arrived, I performed the prayer. All of the daily prayers were at home, as the mosques are still closed in Oman.

In the meantime, my wife made a sweet food item. I enjoyed it very much. That was also my dinner, except I ate one apple before sleep. After a full day of play, my son fell asleep just before midnight. I was too tired to sit on the laptop. So, I decided to accompany my son in his sleep as well. Shortly after 12 am, I slept.

This was my diary on 22th December, Tuesday. Hope that you have enjoyed it. If you have any questions and/or suggestions, please let me know in the comment section.

Have a blissful day.
Until Next Time
