**HELLO LADIES ON HIVE**

These contests are always opportunity for me to express myself, and also area of concentration to write. The 57th contest question just had to be so accurate and I'm grateful for these opportunities.

What are my night-time rituals just before bed time?

Bed time for me is the scariest moment. 😂😂😂 Not like I am afraid of the dark, it's just that I know I may likely not be able to catch sleep until it's almost day break.

When I was younger of which I'm still young though,😆 and I'm on my phone probably chatting on social media, and a friend sends a good night message, and then ask If I won't sleep?.

My usual response is always "I'M NOCTURNAL". Sleeping late is a habit I cultivated since when I was a child and I can't seems to fully shake it off except I'm exhausted.

Night-time is also the time I use to reflect on myself, things that happened that day and make plans for the next day. I'm usually surrounded with a hectic day-time so night-time is a resting time for me, only without the sleeping part.

So what are my night-time rituals just before bed time?

Once it's evening after dinner

1. I'm always on Netflix 😁😁😁😁 this is my default setting, it always set me on a relaxing atmosphere. I could stay up watching movies, especially when I'm following an interesting series, until my husband @yanga will tease me to go an make my post on hive,(or will tell me if I don't want to make money in this life)😂😂

2. If I am unable to gain access to Netflix, I will just go through different social media platform like Facebook, Tiktok and mostly Instagram. Nowadays, I visit Instagram a lot, just to watch new born baby videos and preview their photos.😁😁😁 I'm an expecting mother, so it gives me joy and it makes feel at peace and longing for that same joy. At the same time, I build my fantasies on babies all through the night till the phone falls off and hits my face 😂😂😂. At that point I know I'm about to undeniably sleep. Then I say a word of prayer, then proceed to the bed looking for my husband to disturb before I sleep.

3. Days I don't have data to visit Instagram or Netflix, I cling to a novel or read any of my favorite book.

Currently, I am on a novel titled "Broken people's playlist" this book seem to be messing my mind in a kinda way. I realized how much people love yet lose. Maybe, I will write a review on it.Books like this puts me in a mode to write poems after which I plead on sleep to come and take me.

Other days, I get so exhausted from work and making dinner, and I will just get straight to the bed and sleep off like a plywood.

My bed time ritual mostly follows through prayer, Netflix, Instagram and then I find sleep.

Whose or what picture is on the home page of your phone? And why did you pick that?

That's an easy one...It's my wedding picture

Recently, while still putting down my thoughts for this week's contest my husband asked me why I used this particular photo my response was-

1. IT REMINDS ME THAT I AM MARRIED.
2. IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF THE INNOCENT AND HONEST LOVE WE SHARE. WE CALL IT COVALENT BOND.
3. IT REMINDS ME HOW BEAUTIFUL GOD HAS MADE MY LIFE.

I really want to say thank you to @ladiesofhive for always putting up this contest. I would love to invite @gloriaolar to join the contest.
