A week in my life

Friday, May 14th
I spent my day sleeping till 7pm when I remembered that my hair dresser closes around 7pm. I ran like my whole life depends on it, I was not going to wash my dirty and hard hair myself. My hairdresser was very grumpy so she overcharged me ( by a hundred naira) but who am I to complain?

Saturday, May 15th
I woke up reasonably early and sneaked out of the house so I would not have to do the cooking that morning, to make my hair. She told me it would not take more than 2 hours but we spent up to 5 hours, I was tired and she was tired, but I still had to go to my friend, Hikmah’s house. My mom was talking about food but I pretended not to hear so I could go to see Hikmah on time.

It was a struggle getting out of bed to church, but I got there when the word was being shared and I later proceeded to the mall to see a friend I was meeting physically for the first time. My tiredness caught up with me and I had to go home to rest

My friend, Hikmah is a makeup Artist that had a meeting with vendors for a wedding job she was booked for. With lot of feeling of self importance, I followed her. I met a new friend, Oluwadarasimi,

Oluwadarasimi is a cute baby that refuses his baby formula always. I threatened to eat his food, he still did not care. Such arrogance!

Hikmah had makeup class to teach and I was the model. More self importance feeling activated

Wednesday, May 19th
After Lots of freaking out, We went to the market and spent most of the time talking with sellers about Nigeria and how to persevere in spite of all odds.
Later in the evening, I had a mini breakdown so I decided to make myself feel better by going to the mall. I felt a little better when I got back at Hikmah’s

Thursday, May 20th
We went to another market to buy more stuffs and spent too much money because the prices of everything had doubled.

Friday, May 21st
Hikmah had a job for a traditional wedding so I followed as second assistant. Hikmah and her cousin, Muhsi, the first assistant worked while I was lying idle. I later found a use for myself in playing music. I still did not perform well but someone with a more appropriate music compilation came along and I didn’t feel bad. The bride look so beautiful and I spent quality time saying, “God, when? “.
I had another mini breakdown but Muhsi is an absolute goofball, I laughed till my side was hurting that night.

Saturday, May 22nd
The day started so early because it was the white wedding of the job Hikmah was booked for. The bride looked so beautiful, More ” God, when” moments. And then came the bridal vehicle. Two limousines and a Rolls Royce. More and More “God, when moment”. We spent a little bit of time talking about heartbreaks and relationship with a married woman.
Then, more laughs with Muhsi and Hikmah.

Sunday, May 23rd
I tried to attend church earlier but my laziness caught up with me again. After church service, I went to visit Seun, an old friend of mine. Apparently, I am married without my knowledge, because what else can explain why someone bought me food because I am Seun’s wife?. Anyway, I ate all of the food without giving Seun a spoon. It was nice seeing him again. I left with more souvenir.

Note: Most times, my weeks are not eventful. There are times I only leave home once a week. I had a busy and lovely week. I obviously took out a lot of information but I hope you had a good week too? Please feel free to tell me about it.
