Today is a lot of things. It's the monthly sanitation day
which is the last Saturday of every month in Nigeria. The plumber is coming to
fix my toilet today. Blessing (not Caesar’s girlfriend) said she will come to
Lekki area today not my place. And we, the workers under training have time out
with the Pastor today by 4:00pm. How do I handle all this? In deed none them is
under my control. I read my Open Heavens and prayed. I did the dishes. I called
the plumber, it was him who reminded me today's environmental sanitation.
During environmental sanitation no movement is allowed.
Everybody should be cleaning their environments. Most people need to be
prompted before they can sanitize their environment. It's a grave offence if
you are doing otherwise. All shops remain closed and the road is usually empty.
It ends by 10:00am.
I started reading a book by Dam Millman titled “The Four Purposes Of Life” It is a
good read. It's been lying around for so long. I would've read the book dozens
of time supposing I put my will to work. After a few pages I stepped out to the
cyber cafe, it was past 10:00am so environmental sanitation has ended. I called
the plumber again and he was still at home. And he expects me to believe that
he will still make it today. I called Blessing, she was at the shop and also
told me she will still come to Lekki in the evening.
The cyber cafe was a total waste of time and money. Can
you imagine sending email in the Stone Age era, don’t bother it's not
rewarding. I abandoned the computer and browsed on my phone instead. It's just
that I can't post to the blog from my phone and I need to Google most of the
post pictures. I purposely wasted my browsing voucher so that I won't have any
reason to come back here.
I went home, bought bread and sprite on the way. That
happened to be my breakfast and lunch. I had a good sleep till around 1:00pm. I
got a text from my church around 1:23pm, the time out with pastor has been
postponed till 7:00am tomorrow. All the items on my calendar are just taking
care of themselves in a no-show way. I picked my book again, at least it won’t
tell me not to read it.
Frank called. He is the kind of guy that only calls or
visits me when he need a favour. He said he was in the neighbourhood and wanted
to say hi, by the way did I cook anything. I said no. He came anyway we talked
and I ended up giving him my old laptop. I wanted to give it out anyway. It has
a screen and battery problem which I let him know. He was happy, he didn't mind
the issues cuz he was convinced he can fix it at computer village Ikeja. If I’m
to be frankly frank, Frank is not the kinda guy I’ll normally give something of
that value to just like that. He is the type of guy that will never know you
when he is enjoying, you won’t even know such time. HE ONLY COMES TO MY HOUSE WHEN
THERE’S A HELP I CAN GIVE HIM, PERIOD! I guess the spirit moved me to give it
to him anyway just to pay evil with good.
We left together, I needed to collect a particular folder
from the hard drive and then format the hard drive. The hard drive refused to
work I couldn't retrieve the folder nor format it. Looks like everything that's
supposed to happen today don't want to happen.
I planned to go buy new shoe
today if not for everything that was lined up. Let me check, what did I
accomplish today out of all things I lined up for today, NONE! It was a total
calendar collapse. Total system failure. Not my fault though. It all didn't work out cuz it wasn't
meant to come to pass.
