Wednesdays are one of the busiest days for me as a working-class guy.
But this Wednesday was different.
I woke and prepared for work immediately without preparing or eating breakfast because I woke up very late.
I left for work as soon as I finished dressing up.
I got to work 10 minutes late.
I entered the premises and saw no single car except my boss's. As I entered the building, everywhere was as quiet as a graveyard.
I entered my office and sat pretty on my chair. I almost thought my wrist watch wasn't working fine, probably I came in earlier than usual.
Few minutes to noon, my boss came knocking on my door and I asked him to come in. He asked why I was at work, Poor me!! It was then I remembered today was public holiday. I forgot.
He laughed at me hard that I was so embarrassed.
Then he offered to give me a ride back home since we live close to each other.
He dropped me at the gate and zoomed off immediately. I got home and rushed to the kitchen to boil rice without changing into house clothes.
I was that hungry and angry at the same time. I later changed my clothes and prepared things for my chicken stew.
From blending of the tomato mix to frying of the chicken.
I stayed for over 30minutes waiting for the rice to parboil, I didn't perceive anything only for me to find out that I didn't turn on the gas. I was devastated and angry but had no choice because I had nothing available to eat apart from the rice.
I turned on the gas and started parboiling the rice, a few minutes later, I rinsed the water from the parboiled rice and continue boiling the rice till it was tender and ready to eat.
I prepared the chicken stew and of course, it came out well apart from the fact that was very peppery.
I dishes out the food and ate to my satisfaction.
I took my siesta as usual but this time, It lasted for 5 hours. When I woke up, it was already evening and time for dinner. I went into the kitchen and dished out another plate of food and ate like someone who hasn't eaten for days. Yea, I was that hungry!!
When I was done with dinner, I took my bath then got busy with my phone on social media.
My day was funny but interesting at the same time.
