Hello ladies and gentlemen of steemit, it's your friend @joychi102, good day to you all and happy weekend my steemit friends, let us use this weekend and rest from all the week's trouble and look forward to a more brighter and beautiful week that is coming.

I was at the shop very early in the morning so that I can catch up with customers that were going to work and school, it is now my new strategy so that before noon I will be able to have sales to cover up the afternoon low sales. I was enjoying the way I was kept busied with customers coming in and out, though I did everything alone because my kids, husband and sister were still asleep when I left the house.

The bread I was thinking will take three days to be sold out finished that morning, I was still hoping it could take some few more days but as God may have it it was a sold out. I was waiting for when my kids will come over to the shop so that I can go quickly and get some bread that will last for the weekend.

While I was still at the shop, my sister called me if she could bring my breakfast alongside her when they will be coming to the shop to stay with me and I told her she should then she did and I ate my breakfast when it was approaching mid day. It was rice and stew.

After eating, I took the plates to the shop's backyard and washed them then came back and sat down and rest while my sister just like yesterday was helping me out in the shop. The sales just as expected was dull in the afternoon, this is one of the disadvantage of having a business in a student environment, it's just in and out so you have to be patient if not you might think your business isn't moving.

I did not want us to stay long in the shop so by 5 in the afternoon, I began to pack things inside, the students had gone back home for weekends so I knew there won't be much sales in the evening time. When we got back to the house I dropped the things I took back home and began to sweep the compound, my neighbors are not even helping me out and it's just painful that I and my family would be the only one taking care of the entire compound.

After I finished sweeping, we went inside and I bath and also bath my kids then we ate our dinner and watched movie together, others had gone to bed but I was in the sitting room with my daughter, she was watching her favorite series so we stayed together while I wore my sweater because of how cold the weather was.

After everybody went to bed, but me I needed to write my diary before going to bed And after the diary I already dozing on my bed. Before I slept off, I called my husband to check up on him and know if he had eaten where he was and when he told me he had eaten, my mind was at peace and I slept off .

@joychi102 loves you all.
