WHAT TO HAVE DURING RAINY SEASON

This is it's time. It rained so heavily yesterday. I left the school for home only to get disturbed by the rain. And like others, I stopped, stood at a corner and waited for the rain to stop. I wasn't with a car nor an umbrella. The overflowing water was messy. No car was able to drive pass the floor. When the rain stopped, I headed home. Today, it rained again. This time around I left work early so rain couldn't meet me outside. Just like yesterday, it rained so heavily. These are the things I wished I had during rainy season.

First, an umbrella- it serves as a shield against rain and sun. Umbrella is useful for any season but I like using it most when it rains.

A car

Having a car even if it is not an expensive one can save you from a lot of stress and in times of emergency. During rainy days, you rarely see a cab or a good Nigerian Keke due to the weather, so it is good you get your own car.

Food

Having food at home serves you the expenses of eating outside. You save your money and you cook healthy homemade meals.

A well maintained home

At this period of rainy season, it is good you maintain your home to avoid floor, roof leakage, rain splashing into the window or door. You make your home comfortable, warm and safe. You really do not have another home. Do you? So you have to maintain what you have already.

A cardigan

It helps prevent cold. So you put it on during this period to prevent air from entering your body. I use mine during bedtime.

A blanket

You use it to cover yourself during rainy season while sleeping or when feeling cold.

Chocolate, milk, tea, coffee, pepper soup or something hot

In Nigeria especially Calabar we take something hot during the cold weather. A hot tea, a hot coffee, beef or chicken pepper soup, hot soup or fresh fish soup. We take hot meals during rainy season.

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

Dear Diary, I come with so much to tell. I will tell you everything as I am your faithful girlfriend. Growing up, I had trust issues. I barely trusted my parents, so I couldn't trust anyone. I grew up to see the mess my father's bad friends and company brought us into. My father had many frienemies, not friends. They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
