THE DIARY GAME: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 08, 2023 HOME ROUTINES(FEEDING ANIMALS, WASHING MOTORBIKE, BUYING OF GAS, AND OTHERS), LAB WORK AND SHOPPING)

Hello fellow Steemians,

would be very happy to share with you what I do on a daily basis. I'm adamant that taking part in my daily activities makes you joyful and a lot of fun. The fact that you are reading this entry right now makes me happy. My day was so occupied that I had no little time to rest, but I still praise God because everything went well as planned.

How it began and ended was the same as usual. I awoke at 5:30 AM and gave God praise and thanks for the gift of life and good health. I then went outside and brushed my teeth. I swept my animals' room next because I hadn't cleaned it in roughly three days. In order to disseminate the droppings in my backyard garden, I swept them into a bag. When I was done, I realized my dad’s bike was dirty so washed it to make it clean and appealing whiles I was waiting for time to get to 7:30. When it was 7:30AM, I picked my gas cylinder and tied it on bike and headed to the gas station to buy some, likely enough on my part, I just got there and the attendant also arrived some minutes after I got there so I bought the gas and returned home.

Buying gas

I got home with the gas at 7:50, I quickly went into the bathroom and took my bath after when I took my breakfast. When everything was well done as scheduled, I left for work. I got to the work place at 8:21AM, so I signed my name and quickly carried out all my morning duties which included, disinfection of work surfaces and machines, drying and labeling of media, vortexing of samples and finally ensuring everything was in the right order before we began the day’s activities. When my bosses came in, they first began with primary plating which were about 100 samples. The plates were then plated and given to me for storage in containers after which I then went and incubated them in an incubator for further studies and examination. When this was done, I joined my friends so that we prepare some media to be used the following day. It was a very tiresome and stressful workday for me.

Preparing media

After we had finished the media presentation, we then allow them to stand for about 30 to 45 minutes so that they could solidify before we turned them upside, labeled and then packed them and stored in the fridge as a process of preservation for future use.

Media stored in fridge

We also extracted the DNA of the organisms we had from our previous day’s growths. My key role in the activity was reading and recording of results (the concentration of the DNA of each organism in each sample). They were 15 different samples and they were all successfully extracted and stored. I then disinfected all the work benches and discarded any unwanted objects or materials that were suspected to be infectious into autoclave bags for disinfection before I finally l disposed them off as waste.

My activities for that day ended very early compared to any other day, though it was not time for closing. I needed to go into the town and buy some stuffs before shops closed, so I took person from my supervisor permission, which she granted me, bringing my activities to an end. On my way for the shopping, I had not enough money on me because I used all my money I had to buy the gas earlier in the morning so I withdrew some amount of from a Mobile Money vendor and then chartered a tricycle and left for the shopping.

Making transaction

I got to the town at exactly 5:34PM, and because the day was getting dark, I had to cut my budget so I bought only a few stuffs and left for home.

Buy a drink

Buying toothpaste

Buying sausage

I needed to rest because my day was kind of tiring so I returned home. When I got home, it was already7:27PM so I took my bath and supper sequentially, and finally rested for the day.

This was how my day started and ended.
