Greetings!
After the Christmas celebration, I mean the next day, the 26th, towards the evening, my stomach started hurting me so badly that I couldn't figure out the main cause of it. Could it be the food I ate? But if it's food, I didn't eat many mixtures the way I would have if I had traveled home. Could it be the way I laid in bed all through, feeling lazy to the maximum? But even if it’s that, I didn’t lay in bed more than I intended. If I had the chance, I would have stayed in that bed for two straight days without getting up, and that's because I haven’t really enjoyed maximum sleep or proper rest all through the year.
I just endured the pain, went for drugs, and unfortunately, the medicine didn’t completely chase off the symptoms, but it's manageable.
Why am I saying all this?
My holiday has been short and yet to happen the way I planned it. Up till now (at the moment of writing this), I’m still yet to travel home to join my family in the celebration. And hey, when I do, I don’t want the holiday to come to an end because I will be so relaxed, totally away from work disturbances. Just like I was conversing with a friend a day ago, when I visit home, I have this habit of procrastinating about when to return to my base because home is always too sweet and hard to leave.
But nevertheless, my holiday is not going to extend past the 5th of January 2025, no matter what. In fact, if I decide to let work take its place, I’ll definitely travel back before that day because my phone will be buzzing with calls from clients wanting to make patronage. But I’m not going to allow that. I’ve made up my mind to disappoint them a little with my absence. After all, every business disappoints its clients once or twice as the case may be, so let me register my name on this list of disappointments. Lol 😅
Although I don’t really want this to happen, this is also why I’ve been around, sluggishly attending to the little work left before I travel home. I just know that when I leave, it’ll be hard to explain a lot of things to these clients if I fail them.
Plans for the remaining days of the holiday:
Like I said, this remaining part is the peak for me, and I’m going to execute all my plans to the fullest. The only major challenge I’m currently facing is that a lot of money has already been spent, which has spoiled my plans.
Nevertheless, I will still go, eat a lot of food, stay indoors with enough sleep, and dodge people who will make me spend money. I have my room, and I’ll give my siblings strict orders to tell anyone that I’m not around unless the person is special and unavoidable. I can’t be seen begging for transport fare to return to my base. Lol 😅
Thanks for reading.
