Heyyyy sweet people… long time. 😂
It’s been a rollercoaster for me🥹
Of course, I’d share with y’all cos you guys are all I have🫢
…for now (until I get a husband😂…. *Laughs in chronic singlehood😂😂😂)
So i learnt a valuable lesson this weekend. I had a lot of jobs to do last week and I was sooo strained. Here was what my routine looked like:
I’d go to work. Attend to loads of patients. The few times I manage to catch a break, I’d be on my phone trying to take note of all the orders I have and all the ingredients I need to restock. Then, I’d head home after work, stop at the baking store, spend some good money on baking supplies😂, get home, start baking, sleep by 12pm or 1am, wake up by 5am, decorate my cakes (or round up my pastries), head to work by 8am.
Rinse and repeat 😂
After three days, I started to feel extremely lightheaded. I have an assistant who is so good at her job (love her so much 🥹❤️) yet the stress was still counting on me. Then the headaches started. I knew I needed to take a break.
But then again, I live with my family. 😂
I only have peace when I’m in my studio baking. Once I decide it’s time to have a nice, quiet rest, my youngest sister would also decide that that’s the perfect time for her to excercise her vocal chord by screaming my baby brother’s name at the top of her lungs at close distance to my room, intentionally ensuring that I am abruptly jolted back to the reality that you can never have peace in an african home 😂
Whenever she screams, I’d wake up, sit on my bed and think of my life for two hours straight.😂
Then I decided enough is enough!😂 I’m a career woman so I have right to sleep and rest 😂So I decided to go to my immediate younger sister’s house where I can have peace of mind and rest, since I didn’t have any jobs this weekend.
So I got to my sister’s place: nice, petite self contain. When I entered, I took a deep breath. Finally, some solitude 😂 I spread on the bed! Time for me to have my desired rest!!😌
Ironically, after a few hours, I started to feel bored and lonely😂😂 my sister wasn’t around so everywhere seemed so cold and quiet. No one to talk to. Nothing to do. I started missing the hustle and bustle of my family house 😂😂😂
Would you guys believe that the next day, I packed my things and went back home? Shamefully, if I may add, like the prodigal son😂😂
The lesson I learnt is; wherever you are, appreciate it. The place you think is better, also has downsides too!
