Diary Game: [16/06/26] A Very Boring Day at Home.

Woke up this morning and thought today would be different. No class, no errands, just me and the house. By 8am I was already tired of my own company. Opened the curtains, sunlight was pouring in like it was trying to guilt trip me into doing something productive. I just closed it back. Made garri and groundnuts for breakfast because cooking felt like too much stress. Ate it, licked the bowl like a small pikin, then went back to bed. Nothing to do, nobody to call. Even my phone battery was judging me - 94% by noon because I wasn’t even scrolling much.

Enjoying the breeze.

Been a while.

Afternoon came and boredom upgraded. I started having conversations with the ceiling fan. Counted how many times it made that “krrr krrr” sound before one full round. 7 times. Every. Single. Round. Tried to read a book but my brain kept wandering to the suya I didn’t buy yesterday. Mom called from work to ask if I ate. I said yes, then immediately felt guilty because garri isn’t exactly a meal-meal. I rearranged my wardrobe for like 10 minutes, got bored, put everything back anyhow. The house was so quiet I could hear my neighbor’s generator coughing from two compounds away.

Evening was the worst part. That time when the day is dying but night hasn’t fully come. I stood by the window and watched people pass, wondering if any of them felt this empty too. Tried to write something deep in my notes app but deleted it. What’s there to even say? “Today I existed”? I ended up washing plates that weren’t even dirty just to feel like I achieved something. The water was cold, my fingers were wrinkled, and I felt weirdly proud of myself for 3 seconds.

Now it’s night and I’m lying down, replaying the whole day in my head. Nothing happened. No gist, no drama, no breakthrough. Just me, the fan, and too much thinking. But you know what? Maybe boring days are God’s way of saying “rest, no be every day war.” Tomorrow will be better. Or maybe it won’t. But at least I have this diary to prove I was here, even on a day like this.
