Okay so let me start the day with when I woke up. No, let's go back a bit farther to the time I slept last night. It was 12:30 am. I knew it was gonna be a tough thing for me to wake up at my usual time in the morning. But I woke up sharply as soon as my first alarm went blaring at 5:00 am. I went about with my daily activities of drinking water, brushing the teeth and all that.
It was when I sat down to write my morning entries for today's 5-minute journal that the electricity went off midway through my task. I finished the entry using my phone's flashlight. After contemplating for 5-10 minutes as to what I could do without electricity and it turned out that not much was possible for me since I also wanted to save my phone's battery as it wasn't sure as to when electricity would be back.
So I did the one thing which made the most sense(actually now that I think I could have easily gone for a run in the park), I went back to sleep for another half-hour. That is I slept again at 6:00 and woke again at 6:30. After that I checked the condition of water in our overhead tank and upon seeing that the incoming water supply from the municipality was not cut, even after no electricity, decided to fill our drinking water. After doing that I took the book I was reading and read it on our swing while lying down up-till my parents woke up. After that finished the house chores and went downstairs for breakfast.
Nothing eventful happened at the breakfast but the lights came back on as soon as my breakfast was over and I needed to head back upstairs for work. Since I hadn't been able to watch today's episode of Dragon Ball Super in the morning, due to no electricity, I decided to first watch that and go for bath afterwards. But alas the internet decided that it wasn't too much in my support. I couldn't stream the video in 720p and had to settle with 480p quality. But it took a lot of my time.
After that I went to take a bath and decided to start study. Since it was Sunday I remembered that today I didn't have to study and I had downloaded a movie last night just so that I could see it today. So I started watching it and after around 20 or so minutes had to go out with mom for getting groceries.
She was particularly on the lookout for a fruit called "setur" but couldn't find it. The trip wasn't in vain though, since we went to a new store she heard about and she got some very nice kurtis that she had been long waiting to get. She bought a total of 5 between her and her niece. Our side-trip to Crossword for Cal Newport's books was unsuccessful. After returning home it was decided that mom will be keeping 2 of the kurtis and the other 3 were for her niece. They fit her nicely.
Moving on to the afternoon then. I knew that if I went to sleep now, I wasn't gonna wake up till evening and I didn't wanna waste my that time. So I decided to remain up and research the prices of Amazon Kindle and compare it as to whether I should buy it here or in US. All in all, I wasted my afternoon :sad:.
In the evening, mom wanted to look up some dresses online, so helped her with that and after all this is the time when I actually get anything done in the whole day. I made my complete schedule for tomorrow since I was just wasting my days if I had nothing written down as to when I was supposed to do at any given time.
After dinner (which was a watermelon cut by yours truly) I am right here writing a log of my day because my mind couldn't think of any topic strong enough for me to write on today. I need to improve upon that. Now I will be signing off.
Good night
