The Diary Game: Not Your Kind Of Sunday(14-09-2025)

Hi, I'm Blessing Isong known here on Steemit as @blezisong. Today isn't one of the Sundays I go to church, i woke up quite late and going to church by that time was a No for me. I find pleasure in giving myself enough rest because I've laboured so hard and it's time for rest. I got up late, the rain that fell last night made me feel very cold that I found it difficult to leave the bed this morning.

^{Hi, I'm Blessing}

I wished to connect to a church service online but my phone was critically low and it won't have taken me an inch, I looked out yo know if my neighbor was still around so I could send her kids on an errand but too bad, she wasn't. She had gone to church with the kids, I guess not everybody is a.....like me who goes to church once in a blue moon. I laid back on bed quietly and an urge to have breakfast came but then, I only had swallow at home and no shop will be opened by that time because all vendors will be in the church. A beggar has no choice, I ate the soup and swallow and I somehow liked it and even ate extra.

In the afternoon when my neighbor's kids came around, I sent the eldest in an errand. I took out the dirty plates I had at home and asked her to help me wash them. It was a bit sunny in the afternoon and I ceased that opportunity to take my bath, I went into gisting with my neighbor and the first topic I raised was about light. It's been some days of not having light and from the information on ground, it seems like a general issue in my area and this has been happening consistently for some weeks now. Why can't this issue be resolved once and for all?

It's already looking like a child's play that almost every week there'll be fault in our electricity supply, I really ranted alot to them hoping there will be improvement since the husband is a Nepa official maybe she will tell her husband of my disappointment in their service and some hours after our discussion about the light issue, light was flashed and it gave me a little hope that maybe we might have light this night. My neighbor now has a cat and I was just getting to know about it, well it's a welcomed development because it will help in chasing out all the rats that had been disturbing me and destroying my foodstuffs.

In the evening my friend visited and brought something I'm just seeing for the first time, he mentioned a name and said it's like suya. I know I like suya but I haven't been able to bring myself to taste this just yet. My friend ate some to prove it's nothing harmful but how can I taste this? Ah, village girl like me. Well, I didn't eat it because I couldn't and my friend had no other option than to buy me the real suya, guys did you know what this is?

^{more like suya, do you know it's name?}

I'm not supposed to bring in my diary this late but forgive me guys, it's not entirely my fault but my friend's. This man didn't want me to blog but then he doesn't know, I've built this connection with my Steemit friends that if I don't blog, I'll feel heavy like I've committed a sin. Does anyone feel like this too or is it just me?? its nice having you read my blog, I do not take it for granted.
