My day started a bit earlier than usual because I had decided the night before, that I would wake up early and do my work. However, I dreaded waking up as it was month end, I was planning on going to Vaal mall to fix my bank card but it will be crowded since it is month end. I woke up unwillingly at 05:30am as this was a previous commitment I made to myself. I got off bed, I lit my prayer candle while holding a class of water and started praying for a blissful day with no troubles. After my prayer I drank that glass of water. After that I started cleaning my room while listening to music. My room was super clean , I took a shower and brushed my teeth then I got dressed. After everything I made sure that I had enough taxi fare before going to the mall. My unit mate decided to come with me.
At 09:00am, we headed out because most of the shops at the mall open 08:00am. We had to wait for a while before managing to hail a taxi , as they were all full because it is month end. We waited for about 15 minutes in the scorching sunlight to Capitec but had to wait in line as it was full. Around 11:00am, more people started filling up the line but the security had half the line as it was they were about to close and the attendants will not be able to attend each individual on time. Luckily, I was in the front so they will able to help me with fixing my card the very same day!
I waited a bit for about 30 minutes before it was my turn. I told the bank attendant that I was not able to access the money inside my bank card, she told me that it was hacked and they will not be able to assist me but the only thing I can do was to open another bank account. I was shocked as I asked myself questions like HOW? and WHEN?! She told me that the last person that sent me money, stole it from someone else's bank account and then sent it to me. So now my account is paused. I was perplexed, but there was nothing I can do then my unit mate saw that I was stressed but she did not ask me what was bothering me then we went to Pick n Pay.
We bought a few things then we went to grab an ice-cream. We made jokes on our way. When I checked the time it was 14:35pm. We hurried while paying for the food then grabbed a pie at Kings Pie for lunch. We boarded an empty taxi and waited for an hour before it was filled up. The taxi dropped us off at our destination at 16:45pm, we went inside or residence and underwent the security measurement checks. We went inside our units, organized our groceries and went inside our own rooms. I checked the time and it was 17:20pm. I went to take a shower then I prepared dinner for myself. I ate, wash my dishes and went to pray before I sleep. Then I had a good night sleep because I had a long stressful day.
