A terrible week

After taking a day off from work to unwind and balance the body and soul, I remember telling someone here how I planned on visiting the longest canopy in Africa and how I was excited to go for the tour. I went and I was happy but guess what happened next?

I started to experience these terrible setbacks.

Firstly, it was me feeling moody after a day's vacation, shouldn't I will be refreshed and energized? Maybe the feelings were preparing me for what was ahead.

I got to work wishing to isolate myself from everybody little did I know I was about to encounter the most terrible week ever.

As soon as I got on my street, I was a bit happy because you and I know the joy that comes from seeing light everywhere in the neighborhood, I started to make plans on how to make good use of the power supply before it goes out. ( One of the struggles that come from being a Nigerian, is no light, whenever you see it, you grab your copy).

Well, when I got home, there wasn't any light, what could be the cause? I went to the meter to check everything was fine, then I started to perceive some awful smell coming from the changeover, too scared, I quickly moved it to neutral, and then I called an electrician, he took about an hour to arrive only God knows why. He surveyed and told me that there was a touch on the wires and so some got melted, I needed to buy 8yards of wires to solve the issue. He told me, it didn't affect the generator's wiring.

That was about 9 pm, where on earth do we start looking for wires? Well, I told him to help me get the wires and fix them by tomorrow.

Thank God for the generator, I decided to turn on the generator, hoping to charge my devices and do some other things before turning it off.

After turning on the generator, I quickly plugged in my PC and my smartphone, guys I was lucky enough to be alive. My laptop's charger started to smell like a barbeque, with smoke coming from the socket, my heart skipped, and the first thought that came to my mind was, I hope my PC is fine. I wasn't even bothered about my charger or phone.

After disconnecting it from the socket and turning off the generator, I tried to turn on my PC, but it wouldn't turn on, I tried for over 30mins, and if it goes on it makes a beep and goes off again until eventually, it didn't turn on again.

Honestly, I felt like crying but being a hard girl, I patted myself on the back and said, "today is not just your day, take a deep breath, lay down, and sleep, you'll try again tomorrow".

I was just hoping that it will eventually come on. The next day at work, I managed to pour out the heaviness Into a piece of paper, hoping for the best, I decided to visit an engineer after work, but when I got to the engineer's store, he wasn't around, I decided to call him to find out his whereabouts because at this moment I had started to lose it while bringing my phone from my bag, my phone fell to the ground, it didn't fall hard so I was less concerned, still was willing to make that call, I picked it up only find out that the screen had gone blind.

If these pictures aren't clear enough, please pardon me, I had to look for my niece's phone just to come here and rant out my frustration.
I took the shot with her phone and her camera is of low quality.

I wonder how I'm going to cope with all of these, no PC and now no phone, the only thing that keeps me going is writing, my niece would be going back too, and it will be one long hell of a week because I don't even know when I'll be back here to write again.

I have given my PC to a friend to help me visit a computer village, how do I even reach out to him, to know what's up?

It's frustrating, having everything crashing at the same time.

Do you sometimes have a feeling of something is about to happen, but not knowing what exactly?

I guess I had such a feeling until all of these happened I never knew it was going to be a terrible week.

No social media, no writing on the hive, no reaching out to friends and family, loneliness is about to call my name. I am so broken right now.

This is the only shit that reminds me of my pc, a burnt charger.
