I had a good night's sleep, finally. I took some natural remedies yesterday before going to bed, and it worked. I went to bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 5 a.m. But was I in an open-eye coma the whole morning? Anyway, I took Abby for her walk and gathered 3000 steps; that's how long the walk was. Then we both had a delicious breakfast - I drank a much-needed coffee - and phoned Ági. She seemed to enjoy her stay in Vienna, although the weather was shite here, too. It’s windy, cold, rainy, and gloomy. A sort of pre-summer weather, innit? Apparently, this is the current weather all over central Europe. But back to the natural order of events. So after finishing the phone, I decided to wash the dishes and clean the toilets, which took an hour's hard labour in my morning. Then I practised some Tai Chi and prepared lunch - nothing fancy, just jasmine rice with tomato, but when I finished devouring the nosh, I grabbed the Linzer we'd bought in Vienna on Monday and scarfed it down with a nice coffee like a hungry wolf. When I finished my food indulgence, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, but neither of us was happy afterwards. She was dirty, so I had to wash her in the shower - she didn't like it - then picking the thorns from her fur took another 20 minutes because the wet fur acted like a huge thorn magnet. When I went up to study, it was already 3 p.m. I couldn't finish my homework, but I managed to clarify the meaning of "abject", "to rivet" as in to attract someone's attention, "scarf down", meaning to eat something quickly and eagerly, and "conceited", which means being too proud of your actions and abilities. I could have done more, and I did, but the TEDx talk that was part of the tasks couldn't grab my attention or interest. Anyway, I worked out before taking Abby for her last walk and talked to Ági finally on the phone this evening. The whole house feels like an empty mansion without her, and we look like two frightened tourists with Abby. Only a few days left...
