The Dairy Game: [27/04/2026] Overcoming Challenges
Hello everyone, I'm hoping you all had a great day today. I welcome y'all to yet another diary session with me. My morning didn't start on a high note today, I wasn't feeling energetic and enthusiastic like I used to, i didn't know why, but then I had to start my day regardless. Got up, and did my morning routine. When I finished with that, I got dressed and took a picture before I left my room and out for my daily bread.
I got to the shop, everywhere was dusty which is understandable. I mean, the last time I came to shop was lastweek Friday. I entered the shop, then went back outside with my duster to dust my entrance gate, it was too dusty to ignore. When that was done, I picked up my broomstick to sweep outside, as I was sweeping, a young girl who assist her aunty at her shop which is adjacent to mine came to me and ask if she could charge her phone because their prepaid unit has finished, that is what is used to load light into the meter. And I told her to go ahead. By this time, I was through cleaning outside, then came inside to sweep, dust and tidied the shop neatly. This is one of the disadvantage of working alone.
This is the fabric I will be working on today. But first, I need to iron it smooth. Fabrics like this, it's always advisable to iron first before drafting on it for a better and neat job.
It was noon, I was already feeling hungry. I told the young girl that came to charge to help me keep an eye on my shop while I go by food. It was beans I bought and I had it with bread. After I finished my meal, I had to clean my table and my hands incase of any spilled palm oil. At this point, my energy was high and said to myself that even when I have 20% energy, I have been forced to cut the fluff and do only what truly matters.
After resting for my food to digest, I took the fabric I ironed earlier, turned it to the wrong side and started drafting on it, with the accuarte measurement using my taperule. When drafting on any fabric, make sure to turn it to the wrong side because of the chalk markings.
After I closed for the day, on my way back home, I branched at my sewing material vendor's shop to buy what I will be needing to sew the fabric I cut tomorrow. I had to buy them this evening because my vendor doesn't resume her shop early. I got home tired, went into my room. I had my shower, then came out to eat. I relaxed before I stood up to do my dishes, and back to my room. Today taught me that small wins count, I appreciate the fact that I was able to pull through my low energy mood this morning and achieved something today. Thank y'all for having me on today's session.
