Home Alone Junk Meal Party

It’s not everyday in my house you get the chance to spend the house alone. This is a once in an opportunity kind of experience. Ever since I graduated from college I have always wanted to stay alone, but didn’t want my mom to feel lonely. I live with my mom and sister, we all have our own individual room, so the house is always quiet. But not quiet enough for me, I want to feel like an independent person living alone.

Well it was beginning to feel a lot more quiet when my sister left the house to go stay with my Aunty because of her AirBNB business. I’m sure my mum misses her because my sister is always having the girls talk with her, while am always locked in my room. Yesterday my mom told me she was going to go to my uncle’s house to spend the night. Wow!!! That’s a rare opportunity to have the house all to myself. My mum was more worried about me spending the house all to myself thinking I will feel lonely, I didn’t know how to tell her that this is dream come true. But I pretended like I was going to be lonely, trust me I was more than happy to have the house all to myself.

First of all, I was too lazy to cook, my mom cooked and packed most of the food in the freezer, but nah, today am going to eat out. I’m going to buy all the junk foods and drinks I have always wanted to eat and drink but always got distracted because of work. It’s been a long time I had shawarma, chicken and chips and soya milk drink. 🤔 That sounds like a good idea to have those for dinner. But then, I have to go to my worship center the next morning. This means that I have to eat all these today before tomorrow, I don’t want to refrigerate or let them go bad.

First of all I went to my regular shawarma guy, I buy shawarma, chicken and chips from this guy, but for a while now, I haven’t been buying from him because of my busy schedule. I went there and he told me that shawarma was available, but chicken and chips were not available. I’m used to buying all these from him, so I decided to go somewhere else.

There is a bar close to him that sells the same thing he sells. They sell chicken, chips,shawarma and alcohol. I don’t take alcohol and their shawarma wasn’t ready, so I had to order for the chicken and chips. Haven’t tried these guys chicken before but I really wanted to eat grilled chicken this night. So I decided to try it, we’ll variety they say is the spice of life, this is an opportunity to have another option.

After paying for the chicken and chips, I remembered I was forgetting my soy milk drink. It’s been a while, the regular bottled size is not enough anymore, so going for a larger size seems like the perfect idea. This time you know that you are not finishing everything with a gulp. I went to the supermarket close to me and bought the soy milk.

Getting home and eating all these was overwhelming, because my journey back home was filled with imaginations of how I was going to eat them. I got home, went to the kitchen to wash my hand and there goes the shawarma after. That beautiful first bite was worth every taste, I felt this flow of happiness gushing inside me, I wish this feeling could last forever. This great joy of being home alone and eating all these all by yourself.

Took few bites and I was filled, well thank God it’s still 4 pm, I have more time to wait for the food to digest so I can continue from where I stopped. Besides, there is electricity and freezer, even though I said I wasn’t going to refrigerate them, well seems like I don’t have a choice right now. Although I used to be the type that liked late night foods. This was because of a habit I learnt during my high school days. Lately I have been hearing about the bad health effect of late night eating, so I have stopped my late night eating.

It’s a great feeling, but will it last forever, nah, my mum will be coming back soon, my home alone party will be over soon. Well that’s my life for now.
