Why stop at the already completed tasks if someone could find others to fiddle with? Waking up after a short-lived, not-so-great night's sleep, I hurried to grab something to eat. Once the espresso met the breakfast, my mind was ready to deal with the mundane staff. I called the gas man - gosh, this sounded like I had to phone someone having severe bowel issues - and arranged a check-up on the boiler. The closest date he could give us was 16 November. I described my experiences with the boiler, and he reassured me that everything was okay.
After I hung up, my mind went into planning mode. First, I had to plan my day, then the lesson I would like to teach the A2 level group, and finally, the rest of the day. It was already lunchtime once I completed the first half of the lesson plan, so I hurried to the kitchen and prepared some pasta.
Another espresso after the meal did the trick. I was ready to deal with a presumptuous bank clerk, the craftsman store, and the DIY afternoon. When the sun disappeared behind the Pilis hills at 6:30 p.m., I was ready with the painting in the back garden. I must apply two more layers of paint tomorrow, and the wooden plank will be ready.
As for my studies, I must find my way back to studying. First and foremost, I need to find the lost mojo. Secondly, I must stop finding other DIY projects around the house because they will not disappear. I shall leave some tasks for next spring and summer. Thirdly, I must study from the books I've always wanted to go through. It is high time I did something about it. And finally, I must find new students I can teach for money. The lack of income started to vex me tremendously.
