We returned two wireless chargers to IKEA because they wanted to do something other than their job. Luckily, despite the mass that "greated" us, the return process was quick. And while there, we thought having lunch at the Swedish restaurant would be brilliant. Ági had salmon, and I had Swedish meatballs; both were delicious. We bought some necessary goods and rushed back home.

I gave Ági a foot massage, and when I finished, I immediately fell into a deep coma-like state. Not even the after-dinner coffee could have prevented me from sleeping like a log this afternoon. When I woke up, it was already 14:30, but it took me another hour to come to. I was so peckish when I regained consciousness that I had to eat something. The "kifli" we bought on the way home with butter and plum jam - my favourite - was just what I needed. 

The afternoon was rather prolific. I built a contraption, more precisely, an extension that supports what I have on my desk, which contains my books and stationeries. I now have plenty of space to hit the keyboard while my books are open between the edge of my desk and the keyboard. It took me two hours to build it and rearrange the office, but those two hours were well spent.

The locksmith promised to come tomorrow to complete the railing in the front garden. Fingers crossed that he keeps his promises. The paint on the staves dried completely. Tomorrow, I only must correct a few patches and paint the top of each rod three more times to get the perfect result. Painting them will be easy since the weather is still unusually warm. Even though the early mornings are chilly, the days are summer-like. We love it.

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 ...
