The Diary Game [01/05/2024] // Labour Day Celebration Declared Ghost Town.

Steem greetings all the way from the motherland-Cameroon to all friends on the Steemit platform, and welcome to my blog as I share my daily routine with you all. It was the international Labour day celebration and in all the other 8 regions of Cameroon, several activities were done by workers.

This day was a public holiday in Cameroon as Workers of all works of life convene for match pass at all grand stands. In my region it was declared ghost town by separatists fighters. It was an imposed lockdown and everyone was expected to seat back at home. I left the house early in the morning for a walk because I was really feeling body pains.

It was scary moving on the road on such days, you might ended up a victim of circumstance. Few persons could be spotted on the streets and military vehicles patrolling and some transporting some state officials in disguise with face masks on and face caps just to answer present at the grandstand.

^{Ghosted streets as every shop was locked.}

I walked towards a junction and at this junction, I could see some women braving all odds to sell and raise income for their families. You can imagine they risk they took to carry food items to come and seat at the junction to sell. In case of any confrontation between state armed forces and separatists fighters, these women will be saluted by bullets.

I was no longer comfortable taking the walk as I saw military vehicles patrolling. I know some people will say “police is your friend”, but in this case our police are not our friends because they can molest you to the extend that you will preferred to die. I returned back home feeling hungry already.

I walked back home and went to the kitchen, washed my hands and decided to cook fried rice. I took the ingredients and prepared and because I was feeling well, it took me longer time than expected. Instead of eating it as breakfast, we ended eating it as lunch.

When I had filled my stomach to the fullest, I took a warm bath and napped for about an hour. Then I woke up to Participate in the engagement challenge in the Steem kids & parents community. When I posted it, I was feeling chest pain and my husband asked me to get enough rest as requested by the doctor. I just hate it laying down on the bed and not sleeping for hours. My knees were also paining and my husband had to massage them using Deep heat rub.

The evening hours came and we were all geared up for the UFEA champions league semi final between PSG and Dotmund. We all were supporting PSG because our Cameroonian brother Mbappé.

^{Our African brothers in PSG though Mbappé nationalized as a French citizen but the roots can never be forgotten.}

Unfortunately the game ended in disappointment as PSG lost the game 1:0 in favour of Dotmund. Though it ended this way, there was still much consolation because of a retour game. We hope PSG correct all their mistakes and trash Dotmund to qualify for the finals.

After the game, I had to prepare my baby’s food and fed him. Temperatures were a-bit high and he was sweating. I had to bath him so that he can get a god night sleep. When I was done, I decided to call it a day as I went to bed. Until my next diary session, Happy International Labour Day to all Workers out there.
