Life in a Year: October 2025

October wasn’t bad. The first half of it was easy.

The second half of the month however wasnt as easygoing.

During the easy part of the month of October, I enjoyed some good books and movies. The movie I enjoyed most was Play Dirty, starring Lakieth Stanfield and Mark Wahlberg. I enjoyed some good music too and found a new song that I fell in love with… Featherstone by The Paper Kites.

I also spent some time with Amaka and her baby, Ehi. I enjoyed watching her in this motherhood role.

Things began to escalate on the 16th. My mom had a follow-up doctors appointment, and so we hit the road, along with my older sister, who had been visiting. I drove us from makurdi to Abuja for this appointment. 

I killed two birds with one stone. I took the opportunity to see a doctor and get a full medical checkup. I am glad I did.

My mom and I returned to base after four days. I was able to catch up with an alumni meeting that i enjoyed very much, and then the hectic work week started.

Work became so hectic.  I had to work six days instead of five for two weeks. By the time PMS decided to hit me, I found myself crying on one of the days…at work. Hmmmm.

I wasn’t able to unwind on most nights, but I was able to squeeze time in for Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, and I am glad because it was worth it.
