Tiistai 🇫🇮 - Dienstag 🇦🇹

I had a short night. I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep because my mind thought it was exam day. My brain was so clear that I thought I would solve the most complicated equation on Earth or complete a CPE exam. Too bad my body wasn't up for it and was lying motionless in bed. Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed at 6:20, prepared breakfast, ate it, and took Abby for her morning walk. Then I fed her, washed the dishes, grabbed coffee, and called Ági. After we finished chatting, I felt so tired that I decided to nod off. However, when I made myself comfy, the phone rang: my mate, the mechanic, called me to arrange Ági's car's regular checkup this afternoon. When we finished, I fell into a half-coma and slept for an hour. After waking up, I studied a bit, prepared lunch, grabbed coffee again, and took Abby for her afternoon walk before my English class with Charlette. Once the lesson was over, I hopped in Ági's car with Abby and went off to the city. The car checkup took 2 hours, and we returned home at 7:30 p.m. The weather is awful. It’s been raining since early morning, and it is cold outside. I had to turn the central heating on.

It was a busy day, and I'm knackered, it's high time I took a shower and went to bed, so bye all...

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...

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 ...
