The Diary Game: A Long Night Shift and Market Stress - 15th June 2026

Greetings everyone here on steemit and welcome to another diary session with @kingfavourite77. Today I would be sharing on how my day and activities went today.

I woke up around 8am but my eyes were still heavy. I just closed from night shift at a bottle water factory , so sleep was fighting me. My body felt like I carried cement all night. I took my bath, drank water, and forced myself to stay awake because I had a few things to handle.

We resumed work by 10pm yesterday. My main task was to count and arrange cartons of bottled water that a truck delivered. There were about 300 packs and the supervisor kept reminding us to be careful. The cold from the water kept touching my hands, and every 30 minutes I had to yawn. By 6am we finished counting and arranging everything. I collected my transport fare and headed home to rest.

Before 12pm, my friend Emeka called me. He sells bags and ear ring. He said I should come over so we could gist a bit. When I got there, he was busy with a customer . We talked about the stress of night shift and how tiring it can be. He offered me a cold malt to cool off. After some gist, boredom set in and he brought out his PS4. We played a car race game, Need for Speed. I crashed five times before I finally won one race. Emeka was laughing at me, saying I don’t know how to drive at all. We played for about an hour before hunger reminded me that I hadn’t eaten.

From his shop, I walked down to Mile 12 market to buy some foodstuff. The price of things shocked me. Tomatoes were expensive, and onions were almost like dollars. I managed to buy half a basket of tomatoes, some pepper, and 1kg of rice. The market woman tried to overprice me, but I was alert. I told her I just closed from work, so she should reduce the price. After bargaining, she agreed.

I got home around 5pm. My body was tired but I cooked the rice and ate. Now I’m typing this while resting. Today was stressful. Thanks for sharing my day and activities with me @kingfavourite77
