The Diary Game: 18th July 2026. Cravings satisfied.

Hi, besties! It’s your girl Naomi here again🥰
Welcome back to another diary of my day. How are you all doing? I hope you’re all doing great because, as for me, I’m doing just fine.

So today, I want to share with you how my day went.

This morning, I woke up, said my prayers, and then sat on my bed for a little while to meditate and gather my thoughts before starting the day. After that, I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up.

Lately, I’ve been using a herbal toothbrush and herbal toothpaste because I’ve been battling a really bad toothache. Honestly, this tooth pain has been dealing with me for quite some time now. I barely use that side of my mouth to eat anymore. In fact, I don’t use it at all. Even if the tiniest piece of food or just a drop of water touches that side, I feel this sharp, unbearable pain that literally makes me pause for a few minutes before I can recover. I really hope it goes away soon because it’s becoming so frustrating. And if any of you know a remedy or something that has worked for toothache, please let me know in the comments. I would really appreciate it.

After brushing my teeth, I went back to the room, swept and mopped the house, and tidied up a few things. Once I was done, I started feeling hungry, so I went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I made some noodles and paired them with a chilled bottle of Coke. It was a simple breakfast, but I really enjoyed it.

After eating, I took my morning bath so I could feel fresh and ready for the day. I changed into something casual and then settled in the sitting room with my phone. Since I didn’t have anywhere to go, I just relaxed, scrolled through my phone, and enjoyed the quietness of the day.

By afternoon, I started craving porridge yam. You all know that this is the season when yam is at its sweetest because it has fully matured. The texture is firmer, the taste is sweeter, and it just hits differently. I had seen a delicious-looking porridge yam online, and ever since then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I decided to make mine.

I went out to get everything I needed because I wanted it to come out exactly the way I imagined. Once I got back, I prepped all my ingredients first. I wasn’t ready to cook immediately, so I left everything prepared and relaxed for a while until I got a little hungrier.

A little later, I returned to the kitchen and started cooking. Since everything was already prepped, the cooking process was so much easier. All I had to do was peel the yam, put it on the fire, and add the ingredients one after another.

Not too long after, my porridge was ready.

You guys… it came out so delicious! It tasted even better than I imagined. The sweetness of the fresh yam combined with all the ingredients made it absolutely perfect. Every spoonful was so satisfying, and I was honestly proud of myself. Sometimes homemade food just tastes the best.

After enjoying my meal, I cleaned up the kitchen and poured some water on my body because the weather was getting warm. Then I went back to my room and took a nap for about an hour.

Towards evening, I woke up and realized my phone had gone off because the battery had completely died. Luckily, electricity was restored not long after. Both my phone and power bank were low, so I plugged them in immediately. Once my phone came back on, I spent some time scrolling through social media, replying to messages, and just keeping myself entertained.

By nighttime, I wasn’t too hungry, but I still had a little porridge left. Since porridge isn’t something I like leaving till the next day, I warmed the remaining portion and finished it for dinner. Thankfully, I didn’t cook too much, so nothing went to waste.

After dinner, I took another shower, drank plenty of water—as you all know, I absolutely love drinking water—and then climbed into bed. I spent the rest of the night on my phone, scrolling through social media, chatting, and just relaxing before calling it a day.

“Today’s diary reminded me that not every day has to be busy to be meaningful. Sometimes, staying indoors, eating good food, resting, and taking care of yourself is more than enough.”

Overall, today was one of those peaceful, stress-free days. I didn’t go anywhere or do anything stressful. It was simply a day of staying indoors, eating good food, resting, and enjoying my own company. And honestly, sometimes those are the best kinds of days.

Thank you so much for spending another day with me and for being part of my little daily diary. I truly appreciate every one of you.

I hope you enjoyed today’s diary, and I’ll see you all in the next one.

I love you, besties. Bye-bye!🥰
