THE DIARY GAME - FRIDAY 30TH OCTOBER 2026 | FROM WEAK MORNING TO A SWEET POT OF RICE AND STEW

Hello my dear Steemians,
Good evening everyone and welcome to my diary for today Friday. Today started somehow weak for me but later turned to a very busy and fulfilling day. Let me take you through how my day went from morning till night.

MY WEAK MORNING AND MY MORNING PRAYER

I woke up this morning feeling so weak. My body was somehow heavy and I did not have strength. The first thing I did was to drink a glass of water to step down my body. After drinking water, I did my morning prayer. I prayed for some minutes and immediately after the prayer, I started feeling a little light. Prayer really does wonders, I felt stronger than how I woke up.

After praying, I stood up and went out to sweep inside my house and my compound small. After sweeping, I was tired again so I went out and sat down to rest and collect fresh morning air. I was just sitting down and breathing fresh air when something funny happened.

MY NEIGHBOR'S DAUGHTER AND THE HAIR

While I was resting, my neighbor's daughter came to me. She said she wants me to make her hair for her. At that same time, the lady that was making her hair was just around and was calling her to come and sit so she can make the hair for her. But this little girl refused. She insisted that she wants me to make it for her, not that other lady.

My neighbors daughter I making her hair

I smiled and said okay. Maybe she likes the way I make hair. So I carried her, brought comb and started making her hair. I made her hair gently and neatly. She was very happy and was smiling. After I finished making the hair, she looked at herself and was very happy and thanked me and ran back to her mother. That small thing made my morning sweet.

MY WATERMELON BREAKFAST

Watermelon breakfast

After making the hair, hunger started to catch me. I remembered I had watermelon in my fridge. I went inside, brought out the watermelon, cut it into two with a knife. I sat down and started eating it with my spoon. I like eating watermelon with spoon, it is very sweet and easy. The watermelon was very cold and sweet and it gave me energy. After eating, I rested a little and pressed my phone.

AFTERNOON - MY COOKING TIME

Sachets tomorrow for my stew

Later at noon, I decided to cook rice and stew. I wanted to eat something heavy. I am using sachet tomato for my stew today.

Rice

I brought out my cup and measured 3 cups of rice. I sat down and picked out the dirty and stones inside the rice. After picking it, I washed the rice very well with water. Then I put the rice on fire to parboil. After parboiling, I washed the rice again with clean water.

My eggs

Then I put clean water on fire, added salt to the water and poured the rice inside. At that time I remembered I had two eggs, I brought them out, rinsed them with water and put them inside the rice on fire to cook together. That is how I like it, the egg will cook inside the rice water and it is very sweet to eat with stew.

While the rice was on fire, I wanted to pound pepper for my stew. I checked my pepper and noticed my pepper was finished. Ah! So I quickly reduced my gas to low so that my rice will not burn and I ran out to buy pepper.

Where I bought the pepper from

When I got to the woman's shop where I normally buy pepper, she was not at her shop. I looked around and saw her at her neighbor's house gisting. I called her and she came to sell the pepper for me. I bought the pepper and ran back home quickly. Luckily when I got back, the water in the food was not much and my rice did not burn. I thanked God.

My okpeye

After my rice was done, I brought it down. Then I brought out my okpeye, pepper, crayfish and I pounded them together. It was smelling very nice. Then I sliced my onions. I put my pot on fire, added oil, fried my sachet tomatoes, added the pounded pepper and okpeye and crayfish, added my sliced onions and mixed everything together. My stew was smelling all over my house. I tasted it and it was very delicious.

EVENING AND MY FOOD

Food served

After cooking, my body was sweating and I was very tired, so I went to take my shower. I bathed very well with cold water and felt fresh again. Then I served myself the hot rice and stew plus egg I cooked. I sat down and ate with joy. After all the stress, the food was very sweet. I ate and drank water and then I went to sleep. I slept very well.

I woke up later in the evening around 7pm. I was feeling somehow hungry again, so I went to warm my remaining food and ate. After eating I sat outside small to receive fresh evening breeze.

That was how I spent my Friday. From a weak morning to a sweet ending with good food and rest. I thank God for the strength for today.
