Friday is here.

Eldoret, Kenya
November 7, 2024 11:14pm CST
Fridays usually come with a feeling of relief especially for the formally employed. They can sigh with relief knowing that they are about to receive some two-day off. However for self employed like me, I know that it is just another day of the week. In fact it could turn out to be the busiest. More customers to serve, more records to balance and probably more bills to settle. Who else has busy fridays? Greetings from Nairobi, the only City in the world with a Game Park in its vicinity.

Being self employeed also carries the benifit of being able to set your own hours. For me, Monday and thuresday happen to be my busiest days in terms of things to do around the house. Friday is just, friday. Though if I want a bed to sleep in I'll have to put the laundry away.

That is great. As for my anyday is laundry day. I do not like to pile up dirty clothes, they become too much a burden to clean and I might just be forced to hire a person to do the work, which might temper with my tight budget!

@SIDIKIMPOLE I have to pay for water and eletricity. So I try to make the best use of both. Twice a week is good enough for me.

I didn't know about Nairobi having a Game Park nearby. That is very special.

Yes it is called Nairobi National Park, well endowed with wildlife and beautiful scenery.

Oh, that is great. Reminding me of my youthful days about two decades ago. I used to have a great friday evening. In the movies or raving all night!! And of course drinking!

@Dreamerby Lol. Neither can I advise you to drink. It can lead to addiction and waste alot of your potential.

@SIDIKIMPOLE I don't drink. I live with me parents. My college is nearby. Also I don't have friends to hang out with. Maybe I am socially awkward. Lol

Fridays used to mean a lot more to me than it does now. When I was working I had worked long enough to have a Monday through Friday schedule. So Friday meant I had the weekend off. Now I am retired and doesn't mean as much as it used to.

I was not aware of that fact about Nairobi. I too have a busy friday and weekends. With my online work, I do not get time even on weekends and I work on my website as well. On friday, I had long set of things to do. Teh only benefit of friday and perhaps saturday is I get to do things a little leisurely especially from evening time. The earnings have not significant yet and I am working on it . So there are things to do . For self-employed people , there are no weekends as most of the times you need to be on your toes. Well, enjoy the weekend!
