A Day In My Life

My life is a movie.🕺🕺

I could put it on repeat without getting ever bored👍👍.

I’ll say this if you ask me how my day was. A regular day in my life is simple and filled with so much fun😊😊

I have a little prayer 🛐🛐 when I wake at 5:30 am and then go to my at-home mini-gym🏃🏃

My preferred exercise is a chest pump🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️. Next to it is cycling🚴🚴, a workout that helps with breathing and heart rate improvement.

I then shower🚿🚿, brush my teeth🪥🪥, and dress👔👔for work.

Checking my email, social media accounts, and schedule are next after a quick breakfast of bread🍞🍞 and coffee☕☕

At 7:20 in the morning, I drive to work. I frequently listen to music 🎶🎶(particularly Nigerian afrobeat) or any radio station playing political or news programs.

I start my day by assessing my tasks and priorities (after arriving at work at 7:45 am). I occasionally visit the wards🏥💉, the theatre, or other areas in the facility.

These visits are often administrative since I haven’t touched a surgical blade 🔪🔪in decades.🙈🙈

I then return to the office to finish a few tasks before taking a lunch break around noon at the cafeteria🍜🍜

I also utilize this time to make calls or run errands (school runs). I use this period to draft and check social media postings.😹😹

At 1:00 pm, a return to the office is made and work continues until 5:00 pm.

There are a couple of calls and meetings usually scheduled for the afternoon, in addition to responding to emails and reports from departments and locations🥱🥱

I endeavor to complete all my tasks before the day ends. Constructing a to-do list and planning for the following day is a top priority.💪💪

At 5:15 pm, I leave work and head home. Often, a stop at the grocery store is made to get supplies for the house.😓😓

I can count on my wife to WhatsApp me an oversize list of things needed at home.😦😦 Why do things constantly finish at home? I repeatedly wonder🥱🥱

At 6:00 pm, I return home and unwind a little by watching some TV⚽⚽ (especially if Arsenal, Real Madrid, and other big clubs are playing).💪💪

I might also turn on the television to see if Chelsea or Tottenham have fired their coaches again.😛😛

Awon Sackers!!! One season, three different managers!!🤣🤣

I might then read a book or play games on the PlayStation⚽⚽

At 7:00 pm, I have dinner🍣🍣 with my family.

We often eat something simple and nutritious, like rice, or Swallow it with soup. My preferred food is pounded yam and Egusi soup.🐂🐂 Adaobi is an excellent cook 🧑‍🍳 🧑‍🍳

We discuss our days and exchange news or stories after supper, with Wifey never failing to share the latest on fashion and other Facebook and Instagram trends.💃💃

I might chip in some recent political stories and news on the stock market to keep the discussion balanced.💰💰

I then review the kids’ daily progress by checking the day’s lessons, classwork, and homework with them.📖📖

The most recent development in aviation and my son Kamsi’s goal to become a pilot🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️ will be covered.

My daughter Amarachi would demonstrate her most recent creations and artworks 📝📝to me.

At the same time, Amanda, the baby of the house would discuss her yearning to work with unwell children as a doctor🥼🥼

She will soon grow up to understand that doctors work extremely hard with little or no money🤣🤣

The remainder of the evening would be for engaging in hobbies or continuing my education📚📚

I occasionally watch a lesson, participate in an online course, or attend a lecture. The brain🧠🧠 starts dying when it’s exercising (reading) is ceased.

I also like to sketch, write in my journal, and play an instrument.

I am learning the guitar 🎸🎸right now.

Maybe one day I’ll be able to sing my wife Adaobi❤️❤️, some romantic songs🎤🎤 while picking the guitar strings.🎼🎼

Every day, I try to do something enjoyable and creative. Life is too short to be a boring husband😁😁

At 11:00 pm, I retire to bed and read before dozing off. 😴💤💤

I typically read books and articles about law👵👵, medicine💊💊, engineering🧑‍🔬🧑‍🔬 and other fascinating subjects.

I also give gratitude to the All-Powerful and spend some time in meditation🧘‍♂️🧘‍♂️.

I consider what I did well today and how to improve tomorrow.👍👍

Life is a story📜📜. Always keep a smile on your face and enjoy it☺️☺️.

Dominic ✌️✌️
