The diary game: (11/06/26) Making Chicken Pepper Soup because of the Cold weather And working From Home

Hi guys good day and welcome to another episode of my diary game with mjeelifestyle. How was your day y'all? Mine was pretty good and here is a full recap of how my day went.
So I woke up late today since I was going to work from home, I had to sleep late the night before because I was seeing a movie, I slept by 1am. When I woke up I called my team leader to take permission to work from home and it was granted while he urged me to make sure I reach out to some clients. So let's begin the day, don't worry I'll take you guys along.
I woke up by 9am, said my prayers and brushed my teeth. I called my brother to check up on him and find out how prepared he was because today was his project proposal defense, we spoke for a brief minutes and I wished him good luck.

My fine brother

While I was on the phone the other day with my friend, I had told him that it is really cold and he said he would send me some funds to get catfish pepper soup from any restaurant and he did send the money. When I woke up today and the weather was still very cold from yesterday's rain I decided to make pepper soup by myself which will be better than going to a restaurant because I like home cooked meals a lot. So I had to head to the market to get what was needed for the pepper soup. One can seldomly see catfish here in our local market so I decided to buy chicken instead, I got a good size of chicken for #7500, then got some fresh peppers and scent leaves and some pepper soup spices. The cost of pepper of late is really alarming same with tomatoes, one would have to bargain and bargain, it is well sha ooo.
I bought an apple and washed there at the market before eating, I just couldn't wait to eat it at home.

Buying the chicken

I got home and went straight into cooking, pepper soup doesn't take long to be ready. I washed up my chicken properly and spiced it up then went ahead to steam it for like 15 minutes without water just the juice from the chicken. When it had steam for a while I added water and adjusted with seasoning and scent leaves was the last thing I added and brought the pot down. Trust me.....it was really delicious and I had no regrets for choosing not to go to a restaurant. I paired that with rice.

I went straight into work after eating and by then it was already 12pm or thereabouts, I reached out to clients and when I was done I decided to do some personal jobs too.
By 2pm I was done and decided to nap for a while.

Woke up around to 4pm and just decided to stroll, make my eyes clear small. Where was I strolling to? To the junction at our street to get anything light for dinner. I got some fruit mix from a vendor after asking her repeatedly if it's still fresh, normally I do like my fruit salad to be cut just at the point of purchase but I just had to settle for this one as the only option. I got the fruit mix for 1000 naira tho.
I got home from the stroll, had my bath and ate the fruit mix. Did I eat only that? Of course not, I still had some chicken pepper soup and rice left so I had that too and the chicken still remained and I packed it up into the refrigerator for some other time.
