The diary game: Friday 22/08/2025 A day I claimed to have started sad but ended up with brightness

Hi friends and community members, I hope your day was great and you all enjoyed the day? Mine is wonderful as usual . So I'm here again to write about my Friday 22/08/2025, it was a mixture of sad and great day for me Firstly from the report I got from my daughter on Thursday about her holiday lessons classmates, how they bullied her again. I was so furious, all and well prepared to go fetch the person that doesn't have good upbringing or maybe he has the good upbringing but he just want to destroy the parents reputation outside. So early in the morning, I got up and prepared meals which they will eat and go for lessons.

My first sad moment began when I realized there was no groundnut oil.
After whisking egg, pepper and onions with a taste of salt.

After preparing the meal and discovered there's no groundnut oil, I had no choice than to improvise. I had red oil so I brought it out from the cupboard and poured it to the pot and ignite fire for it to steam for a while.
When the red color changed to almost yellow, I poured the whisked mixture into the oil and made something out of it.
I so much enjoyed it ,I don't know about my kids if it was ok by them .
I made pap and got bread with akara, it was a delicious meal for me.

	the palm oil fried egg with bread ,very sumptuous

	the full break fast diet

I did that mixture because the diet is balanced whether I will return sooner or later, it would sustain me till whatever time I will return.
The pap was deliciously prepared by me with the mixture of yellow corn, guinea corn, millet . I soaked it for three good days and was always changing water every day till the day I grinded it, sieve or wash it to separate the chaff from the starch.
Milk or press out the excess water.
When it was dried, I stored it in the fridge and I am always serving my children with it every day. It has really been helpful to us .

My second sad moment was when I noticed my pap changed color, then it was done on me that power failure has made my fridge not to be cold anymore so I quickly turned them in a bowl and stored it outside the refrigerator. It was annoying because I had spent almost nine thousand naira preparing that pap, but no problem we will manage it in the water and be changing it everyday.
I finally left the house for the school only to realize there was no lesson on Friday. So all my anger , all the boiling, all the strength I took to the school was thwarted and it made me sad again.

But that could not stop me from being myself, I decided to move to the farm because it was noon already and check the hatchery if fertilization has occurred.

I noticed the eggs were white, it escaped my memory to have snapped. We were so happy that fertilization has taken place only for the lecturer to come and tell us that hatching was only 30% successful. So we lost out, it was devastating and discouraging but he said we could continue with the little hatched ones. That was my third sad moments of the day.

My mind went home to the gametes I took home, because he told us if we have lost this ones, so those ones might not survive it too.
I just likened this situation to humans that tries to plant babies outside the natural way and how sad and emotional they will be when it fails. Especially IVF that is so expensive.

Some of my colleagues came together to repeat the process which I believe will work this time for their favor.
So I got home to check mine, it has truly died.

In the evening, when I got home . I got a call from one of my customers which gladdened my day and made me forget every stress and pains I encountered in the morning and afternoon. The customer ordered for goods I never expected, I was so happy that my day was made. After the customer left, I prepared and left for evening service in church. It was an impactful session that different countries and states presented their creativities. Like Akwa Ibom state, we participated in songs and drawings. The service was really a great moment of praise also, it lasted for about 5 hours and we dismissed around 8:30pm with some prophetic declarations from our Daddy in the Lord. So my day was almost messed up but God said no, it can't be and decided to put smiles on my face. I slept and ate at night as a baby very peaceful and happy. I would like to tell us that, no matter how your day starts rough, always stay calm because there's light at every end of the tunnel. THANK YOU.
