I woke up from the bed feeling excited. For some unknown reason, Fidays usually make me feel good. I was basking in the joys of "thank God it's Friday" when my cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was a call from Mary my bestie.
"Hey girl, what's up?"
"Hey you, I'm good just tired and bored" she said.
What's wrong, did you not sleep well?"
Not really, the mosquitoes were too much. I stayed up trying to kill some of them and now I'm feeling lethargic and bored" Mary continued
Sorry about the mosquitoes dear, this is their season. I think you need to do something fun so as to get you back to your cheery self again, what say you?"
"That's a good idea but right now I can't come up with any fun ideas, could you help out?"
"Yes I will dear, what are friends for? But I hope you will like my kind of fun?"
"Your kind of fun, girl what are you talking about, asides singing, cooking and dancing that I know you for, what other ways do you catch fun or are you keeping things from me now?" Mary inquired almost hysterically.
Laughing really hard at her last question, a few thoughts came to mind and I decided to let her in on it.
" I'm not keeping anything from you girl. Yes, singing, cooking and dancing are some ways I catch fun but it's not all the time. Sometimes I also listen to some good music with my headphones especially when I am far from home".
"Other times, I simply play some games like scrabble, Chess or Ludo. Going for a swim is also another pleasant way of catching fun. Do you remember the last time we went to the beach together, we had so much fun".
"Then there's movie watching. I could binge watch my favourite k-drama series for hours with a pack of popcorn and a cold bottle of Coca-Cola to step down. I think this would be a fun way to cheer you up and brimg you nack to speed. What do you say, are you in for some netflix and chill or for some swimming?"
The line went silent for ten seconds, after which Mary replied..
" Count me in girl! I knew you would know how to cheer me up. No swimming today, the weather is cold. I would rather we netflix and chill together. Please prepare some popcorn and get the soft drinks ready because I will be with you shortly. Thanks dear, you are a life saver".
"Anything for my bestie. Now hurry up or i'll start without you?" I threatened.
"You wouldn't dare ! You better wait for me ok?"
"Yes Ma'am" I replied and we both burst into laughter. It was going to be a fun filled day indeed, I thought as I hung up the phone.
Thank you all for reading...shalom
