A Day In My Life

My life is a movie.๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ•บ

I could put it on repeat without getting ever bored๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.

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 fun๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

I have a little prayer ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ› when I wake at 5:30 am and then go to my at-home mini-gym๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

My preferred exercise is a chest pump๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ. Next to it is cycling๐Ÿšด๐Ÿšด, a workout that helps with breathing and heart rate improvement.

I then shower๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿšฟ, brush my teeth๐Ÿชฅ๐Ÿชฅ, and dress๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿ‘”for work.

Checking my email, social media accounts, and schedule are next after a quick breakfast of bread๐Ÿž๐Ÿž and coffeeโ˜•โ˜•

At 7:20 in the morning, I drive to work. I frequently listen to music ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ(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 wards๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ’‰, the theatre, or other areas in the facility.

These visits are often administrative since I haven’t touched a surgical blade ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ”ชin decades.๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I then return to the office to finish a few tasks before taking a lunch break around noon at the cafeteria๐Ÿœ๐Ÿœ

I also utilize this time to make calls or run errands (school runs). I use this period to draft and check social media postings.๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜น

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 locations๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿฅฑ

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.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

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.๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜“

I can count on my wife to WhatsApp me an oversize list of things needed at home.๐Ÿ˜ฆ๐Ÿ˜ฆ Why do things constantly finish at home? I repeatedly wonder๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿฅฑ

At 6:00 pm, I return home and unwind a little by watching some TVโšฝโšฝ (especially if Arsenal, Real Madrid, and other big clubs are playing).๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

I might also turn on the television to see if Chelsea or Tottenham have fired their coaches again.๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›

Awon Sackers!!! One season, three different managers!!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I might then read a book or play games on the PlayStationโšฝโšฝ

At 7:00 pm, I have dinner๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿฃ 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.๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚ Adaobi is an excellent cook ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ

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.๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

I might chip in some recent political stories and news on the stock market to keep the discussion balanced.๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

I then review the kids’ daily progress by checking the day’s lessons, classwork, and homework with them.๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“–

The most recent development in aviation and my son Kamsi’s goal to become a pilot๐Ÿง‘โ€โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โœˆ๏ธ will be covered.

My daughter Amarachi would demonstrate her most recent creations and artworks ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“to me.

At the same time, Amanda, the baby of the house would discuss her yearning to work with unwell children as a doctor๐Ÿฅผ๐Ÿฅผ

She will soon grow up to understand that doctors work extremely hard with little or no money๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

The remainder of the evening would be for engaging in hobbies or continuing my education๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š

I occasionally watch a lesson, participate in an online course, or attend a lecture. The brain๐Ÿง ๐Ÿง  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 ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธright now.

Maybe one day I’ll be able to sing my wife Adaobiโค๏ธโค๏ธ, some romantic songs๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽค while picking the guitar strings.๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽผ

Every day, I try to do something enjoyable and creative. Life is too short to be a boring husband๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

At 11:00 pm, I retire to bed and read before dozing off. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ’ค

I typically read books and articles about law๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿ‘ต, medicine๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’Š, engineering๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ and other fascinating subjects.

I also give gratitude to the All-Powerful and spend some time in meditation๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ.

I consider what I did well today and how to improve tomorrow.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Life is a story๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ“œ. Always keep a smile on your face and enjoy itโ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ.
