Episode 3

Last updated on September 16th, 2024 at 09:31 am

One thing about me is that I must eat. Even at my saddest moments, I’ve found the strength to eat. Since I’m a foodie, I have to be in the gym to burn calories. I hate the gym. I’m probably the only one in the world that feels this way even after making friends at the gym and going for over a year. Four times every week, I’m at the gym, regardless.

Since I dislike the gym so much, I always reward myself with… well, more food. At this rate, I doubt I’m burning any calories but I keep showing up.

I add avocado to my toasted wheat bread and check my email while dancing to the tune in my head. That’s another thing with me, I play a tune in my head and dance to it, even at the most awkward times.

Seeing as there’s nothing urgent in my inbox, I head to the bathroom and decide to soak in the bath instead of taking a short shower. Usually, when there’s something urgent to attend to, I sit to work after my post-workout breakfast. Since there’s nothing, I can devote an hour to soaking in bliss.

It’s 5 pm. I drop my laptop and shut the lid. I’ve been buried in work for the past 4 hours and deserve a break. I check my WhatsApp and see that my friends already left messages in our group chat.

Girlssss, how far with our hangout tonight?  Ada

My son was sick, but he’s better. If my husband comes home from work on time, I’ll be there. Toria

Babe, this thing is only twice a month, this excuse no too gel o. Ella

Ah, I no wan talk o. Ada

Na so Toria dey do. Just leave her. Ella

Where’s that mumu Ibk? Ella

I chuckled as I read through what I missed.

Present, ma. I type. 

Toria, you’re fond of excuses. Your mouth like duck mouth. Ibk

You’re alive. Pele o. Ella

Girls. Ladies. We meet by 7 pm. Emperior’s Lounge!  Ada

After hanging out with the girls I’m usually wiped. I stopped drinking about a year ago because alcohol dulls my senses, plus, I can actually have fun without ingesting the supposed liquid courage. 

I take a shower and munch on a granola bar as I briefly send some emails to round off the day. I put my laptop aside and then play my favourite series on mute. Many times, I wake up to switch off the TV or the movie stops playing.

It’s another Saturday and on the agenda today is a much-needed mani-pedi. The cracks in the soles of my feet have been tugging at my bedsheet for a while now and I need to. Fix. Up! As I add my current read to my tote bag, my phone starts ringing. I slide the book into the bag and reach for my phone. Not today, devil.

“Hello, ma.” I say hoping she doesn’t notice my tone.

“Why do you sound like you’re unhappy to hear from your only sister in the world?” Here we go.

“Sis, baby girl, queen mother of the empire, how are you?” I’m in a better mood today so I change the course of the conversation. Hopefully.

“Don’t hail me. Ta! I know your style. Today’s a weekend, what are you doing?”

“Working,” I say on purpose.

“Don’t don’t even try me! Monday to Friday is not enough?” My sister yells and I worry she might burst a vein. Or an artery. Something.

“I’m going for a mani-pedi.”

“Better,” She sighs as if a heavy load has been taken off of her.

Sometimes, I can relate to the sense of duty that my sister feels. Unlike me who didn’t spend my older years with our parents, my sister had the privilege of having a mother until she was 45 and a father until she 49. This doesn’t mean that I have to always indulge her though. Today’s just one of the days when I can afford to.

“And I need this pedicure thing o.” She says. Alarm bells start ringing in my head. If you think my sister aka mum is overbearing over the call, she’s worse in real life. The other time we both went to the spa, she almost sent me away with a man we met there. She is not the most subtle matchmaker as you can already imagine.

“I have so many places to branch before going, ma. Maybe another time. Or you can do home service.” I know that home service is her thing.

“Ehn ehn, I think that home service is the best. I don’t like being away from my husband for too long.” And we’re back.

“Yes, ma. I’ll schedule it for you. Bye-bye.” I say, hoping this ends it.

“Some people can’t know the feeling.” She continues as if she didn’t hear me.

“Ma? The network. Ma? I can’t hear you.”

“Ibukun, I can hear-” I end the call and release a breath, laughing to myself. Problem stalled.

    This is why solely taking dietary supplements from reputable
    firms where one hundred pc of the ingredients are sure is a must
    for anyone uncovered to drug testing, as properly as if you want to avoid SARMs altogether.
    Proviron may cause some hair loss in males who’re genetically
    inclined. S-4 has a singular potential facet impact involving a brief change to vision, which should subside on stopping
    use. Turinabol is the extra favorable of the
    two if you’re susceptible to hair loss. For most newbie to intermediate customers
    who want to stability outcomes and side effects, RAD-140 will be the extra tolerable option between these two.
    Anavar will present you with an edge for muscle growth and general physique
    composition, but if strength is a major aim, you’ll discover RAD-140 is
    equal or better.
    It does not produce exceptional muscle hypertrophy; however, it’s commonly
    used in bodybuilding and makes our top 5 record as a outcome of
    its execs largely outweigh its cons. We find bulking steroids are greatest taken along side a high-calorie diet to maximise anabolism.
    Females stacking Primobolan with Winstrol or trenbolone for additional results could result in virilizing effects.

    Utilizing three SARMs, this stack covers all the important areas and
    leaves no stone unturned in your chopping cycle. This is a cycle for these with expertise utilizing SARMs, so don’t
    do this one if you’re a beginner. With a a lot stricter
    slicing food regimen and intensive workouts, this number can improve quickly all
    through the cycle.
    The space where Winstrol excels essentially the most
    when it comes to ends in pure athletic performance.
    Power and pace obtain outstanding boosts, as does total strength to help all-round
    performance enhancement. This makes Winstrol so revered amongst monitor and field athletes in particular.
    On a Winstrol cycle, you should also discover elevated tendon power, and whereas
    not essentially noticeable, Winstrol is known to learn bone energy as properly.
    You usually are not placing hormones immediately into the
    body with Win-Max; the results won’t be as instantaneous or as powerful.

    In most instances, these side effects will disappear once Winstrol is stopped.
    It’s well known that oral safest steroids for bulking are significantly harsh on the
    liver. Winstrol is exclusive – firstly, it is out there in both oral
    and injectable varieties, and you would possibly suppose it’s a
    straightforward alternative; then, use the injection and
    avoid liver dangers.
    The action of this leading firm’s supplement is predicated on stimulating the
    metabolic price & rising fat burning in the physique. A simple

    or dangerously concentrated types of drugs.
    Nevertheless, essentially the most fascinating thing is that Win Max is suitable for each men and women (and equally
    effective). Equally, some research show that BCAAs also assist to reduce muscle ache after hard workouts,
    as well as quicker muscle recovery. This explicit form
    of protein is of high quality and simply absorbed by the physique, guaranteeing immediate benefits.
    This implies enhanced power, physical power & athletic endurance.
    Factors similar to age, physique construction, heredity,
    and way of life, affect his caloric wants to take care of his/her weight.
    Bodybuilders are probably to implement a slicing period after
    a bulking interval.
    With a half-life of around 9 hours, oral Winstrol doesn’t want to separate the dosage
    into multiple every day doses like other steroids.
    Winstrol is a really efficient steroid, and
    no one ought to be dissatisfied in the results, provided you perceive its benefits and where it could sit in a steroid stack.
    Disappointing will are out there in should you expect huge muscle features;
