Not a Busy Day

After waking up and finishing breakfast with the much-needed coffee, I set out to buy a few things. First, I headed for the pet-food store to get some nosh for Abby, and then I drove to another shop to fetch some toilet requisites. Once I got home, I prepared a delicious lunch: fish fingers with jasmine rice and tzatziki. We ate like two hungry wolves. After gulping down the last drop of coffee, while Ági had a lesson, I started to watch movies on chatGPT and autoGPT because Ági has a project about AI and its relevance in language learning. This new area in technology might seem scary and valuable at the same time. However, knowing human nature, I'm not convinced of its usefulness for now. I believe technology is far too advanced for human nature, and we, the mass, are not ready for it. The new AI tool, autoGPT, takes automation to another level, and its ability to serve us with the latest information - because it is connected to the internet - is mind-boggling. I'm not scared of them at all; on the contrary, I enjoy using them - at the moment, I only experiment with chatGPT - because their potential seems terrific. Anyway, once Ági finished her lesson, we decided to go for a long walk. The weather was beautiful, not too warm, one might say it was chilly despite the sunshine, and even the wind wasn't bothering us. The 5.5k walk took us an hour which is a new record. No wonder after returning home, we had to nod off after another. 

And the news of the day: Charlette sent me back the corrected essay and implied that we'd have lessons :) 

Well, this is it for today, I'm afraid, but tomorrow brings another day to study...

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries ...

Even though I was up from 5 a.m. till 10 p.m. yesterday, I couldn't sleep like a log. I woke up several times at night wondering why the blOOdy eff I couldn't hibernate. Since these awake periods didn't last long, I went back to sleep, but still, the reoccurring wakeups vexed me tremendously. Anyway, I decided yesterday that despite the winter daylight-saving time, I wouldn't follow the winter clock but stick to the old summer daylight-saving time. I've had enough. Each March, we have to set the clock an hour forward, which means an hour less sleep, which means my system gets into Carl Pilkington mode for weeks. Never again. So, with this in mind yesterday evening, I set the alarm clock to 5 a.m. When it went off, even though I was a bit miffed, I knew I'd tricked the system, so it was payday for me. After completing my homework this morning, I prepared lunch. It wasn't a special meal, just some fish fingers with rice and peas. And even though it wasn't ...
