Every cloud has a silver lining

While I felt much better this morning, Ági's condition deteriorated. The headache returned, her coughs worsened, and her power left her. The loss of our gustatory and olfactory senses has a positive aspect, we don't need to worry about anything. We wouldn't even notice the stinkiest pair of socks.

We sat in front of the TV set and binge-watched the last season of Green Green Grass with Boycie and Marlene. We loved this show as well. Truth be told, we wouldn't have been able to do anything else because of this horrendous virus. Somehow, COVID managed to take away our ability to focus on more complex stories or tasks, so this led to us sitting before the TV and watching several episodes of one of our favourite series. 

Today is the 21st of December, and in three days time, we celebrate Christmas. This means one more week, and 2023 will be over. This means it'll be New Year's Eve, which means fireworks, which means a stressed dog. For eff's sake, I wish those brainless individuals who think this is the only way to celebrate the new year knew what their joy causes for other living creatures. Fireworks should be banned by the state.

The final plan

I have a plan, so crazy that it might just work. I checked my books and tried to estimate how to proceed with my preparation, i.e which books should be the first and how to process the units, so the devised schedule is the following: Completing the 'Straight to advanced' and 'Ready for Advanced' books. They consist of 10 lessons and 5 review units each, so if I study intensively, I can finish these books in three-four weeks. Learning by heart the advanced phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocation books. (Plus the 'Don't get me wrong' pocketbook that contains brilliant idioms and collocations.) These books consist of 60 units each, so if I take three lessons per week, I can finish them by the end of August. Completing the 'Destination C1-C2' book. This is the toughest of all the previously listed books, including word formation, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar, etc. I could go through this book while dealing with the 'Straight to advanced' book si...

53 is the new 35

Nah, I'm just kidding, 53 cannot be 35 in any way. When I first heard this term, fifty is the new forty, I thought something was wrong with my ears. Even the explanation of this locution seemed dodgy. I'm pretty sure that this is a kind of self-hypnosis technique used by those who are unable to accept their age and refuse to take notice of the natural order of things. (It's always weird to see the results of what the scalpel of cosmetic surgeons did to some poor, deluded individuals.) Anyway, I found the tail of the mojo and tried to get it back completely. I completed the homework Charlette had given me a month ago - it wasn't easy to complete, though - and booked some lessons as well. I'm looking forward to these classes. Nevertheless, my mind was struggling tremendously with the homework. My brain is still not as fresh as it used to be, so I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a balderdash. The weather turned freezing. Well, it's not as cold as it is...
