The Diary Game // [31-03-2025] // Starting the day off right with a scrumptious breakfast treat

Designed with canva

Happy new month to my beloved Steemian friends all over here and across the globe! I'm delighted to share my daily routine with you, and I kindly request your permission to do so. Yesterday was the last day of March, and it happened to be a wonderful day for me. I had some great experiences, and I believe those experiences have already set the tone for the new month of April.

I started my day at around 6:00 am, although I had already woken up at 5:30 am. After saying a brief prayer to God, I lay in bed for a few minutes to reflect on my life. Then, I got up and headed to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast.

I had decided to cut back on bread this week, as it was consuming a significant portion of my budget. So, I opted to prepare something different to have with my tea instead.

I had sweet potatoes, fresh eggs, and fresh tomatoes at home. I decided to use them by frying them, and I'll be walking you through the process below:

My ingredients

HmAfter peeling the sweet potatoes, I washed and sliced them into small shapes that I liked, and sprinkled a little salt on them. Next, I sliced the fresh tomatoes and onions. I also whisked the eggs in a plate.

So, I started frying the sweet potatoes, and when I was done, I also fried the eggs.

Frying process

I prepared everything well and set it aside. I noticed that the meal was too much for breakfast, so I reserved some to take to work later.

Then, I quickly took a shower before settling down to enjoy my meal in a relaxed mood. While I was busy preparing my meal, I lost track of time and realized that my work hours were approaching.

Before I started eating, I picked up my phone and sent a message to my supervisor, apologizing for the expected delay and asking for her pardon when I arrived late. I knew that by the time I finished eating and got dressed, time would have slipped away quickly.

Tea, fried potatoes and fried egg sauce

I took exactly 20 minutes to finish my breakfast, savoring each bite without rushing as I usually do. Then, I grabbed my work bag and headed out the door.

When I arrived at the office, it was 25 minutes past my scheduled start time. Thankfully, I had already requested permission to be late, so I could sign in at the usual time without worrying about a salary deduction.

Next, I spent about two hours cleaning my workstation and rearranging the goods to make them visually appealing for our customers. After completing the cleaning task, I changed into my work uniform and took a short break to rest and recharge.

Before I knew it, I had dozed off. Luckily, God was on my side, as we don't usually get many customers in the morning. Mondays are always particularly challenging for us, as we spend most of the day cleaning the store and restocking shelves after the weekend. By the time we finish these tasks, we're usually exhausted and drained.

A few minutes later, customers began arriving to make purchases. Over the course of two hours, we served a total of three customers. Once they had all left, I took a break to have my lunch.

After that, we had another customer who came with her daughter to buy an Easter dress. However, the little girl seemed unimpressed with our selection, and despite her mother's best efforts to please her, she remained stubborn and refused to choose anything.

We showed her various dresses and shoes from different sections, but after trying them on, she would simply say she didn't want them. In the end, the mother left without making a purchase.

At 6:00 pm, our closing time, we packed up the goods and stored them in the warehouse, locked up the shop, and headed home. I stopped by the market to buy some food items, since I was out of food at home. When I arrived home, I was frustrated to find that our area was experiencing a total blackout. As a result, I had to prepare dinner from start to finish in the dark, relying on my phone's flashlight. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos of the process 😭.

Fufu and soup for dinner

After dinner, I went to the bathroom and took a refreshing bath before retiring to bed, as it was already quite late.

Thanks for reading my post
Good luck to you.
I wish you well in this new month of April

One Love 💕
