The Diary Game: Beans, Boredom, and No NEPA From Dawn to Dusk 😂 (28/04/2026)

Hello everyone! This is @gideonova and welcome back to another session of my diary. Today did not go quite the way I expected but it still had its moments. Let's get into it!

I woke up late in the morning — as those who follow my diary regularly will already know, midnight activities have a way of pushing my wake up time further and further. When I finally got up I went straight to help my mom with some cooking, fed my dog, and then joined the family for breakfast. We had rice and beans — warm, filling, and exactly right for starting the day even if the morning was already half gone. 🍚

After eating my brother dressed up and headed out for his exam. I settled into watching some AI story videos on Facebook — the kind of content that pulls you in and keeps you watching one after another. After a while the sleepiness crept in and I tried to take a nap but my body simply would not cooperate. Sleep refused to come no matter how long I lay there. So I gave up, got out of bed, and went straight to gaming with my friends instead. Sometimes that is the only cure for restless energy. 🎮

In the afternoon a mild hunger showed up and I went for beans and garri to deal with it — quick, simple, and always reliable. After eating I switched to TikTok for a while. Then the sleepiness came back, and this time it actually worked. I laid down and drifted off properly. When I woke up it was almost evening and my brother had already arrived home from his exam. 😴

In the evening we shifted into dinner preparation mode. My mom got everything moving — beans on the coal pot, vegetables and swallow on the gas cooker, and leftover warming happening alongside both. I jumped in and helped with the vegetables and swallow, moving between tasks to keep things progressing quickly. Running the coal pot and gas cooker at the same time was a smart move and it paid off — everything came together faster than it would have otherwise. 🔥

When cooking was done we cleaned up the entire compound, went inside, and I fed my dog. Then we all sat down together for dinner. 🍲

And here is the thing that genuinely bothered me — NEPA did not bring light even once throughout the entire day. Not a flicker. Not a second. The whole day came and went without a single moment of electricity from the grid. That is genuinely painful to deal with but honestly at this point I have accepted it. You cannot let NEPA control your emotions every day. I just hope they do better going forward. 💛

How was your day? I hope you enjoyed today's session. See you next time! 💕

Thank you so much for reading my diary! 💕
