A New Chapter

After such a long period of dismal weeks and masses of restless nights, my weekend turned into a slow but epic bout between sanity and insanity. This monumental contest in my mind, seasoned with the early spring’s side effects, siphoned off the reserves of my batteries completely. Being physiologically depleted had a detrimental impact on my psyche, and my mind shouted silently for more sleep and respite. An effortless order to abide by and the only reasonable alternative.

Having no other choice but to obey, I abandoned myself to active repose. My weary mind needed to slumber through the weekend and binge-watch episodes of our current favourite series. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything else anyway, though. After several failed attempts to jot down my thoughts, I gave up writing entirely. I remember sitting in front of my laptop, hoping to craft a meaningful entry, but frightened by the confusion that oozed out of my virtual pen, I closed the lid and called it a day.

As my eyelids found their way to my forehead this morning, I knew I had a sleepless-free night. Even though the mental fog caused by the recent involuntary vigils vanished, my fatigued system told me not to jump out of bed, however much I wanted to. I had to contain myself. It wouldn’t have been a good idea to jump about like a lunatic mustang foal, so instead of rushing, I took the opportunity to think through my next steps in terms of food and supplement intake, professional career, and working out. It became obvious that I had to change these routines.

The lingering thoughts of reforming my days not only elevated the already ascending spirit but also goaded my little self into careful planning. This revelation shaped my day. The neurons in my grey matter were flashing, and I could almost hear the synapses snap. It became clear that the early spring’s side effects brought about changes - one usually encounters in April - that required an adequate response. Realising the importance of adjustment, I already felt much better. A new chapter has opened.

Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

My day was alright. I rearranged the shelves in the basement, which took me two hours to complete. I could have spent more time rearranging, but I had to deal with my homework before the class this afternoon. I had to read a story and summarise its content, write about the characters, and describe my impression. Even though the weather forecast predicts warmer days, the presence of autumn is palpable. The nights are much colder than a week ago, and the morning walks with Abby are faster due to the chilly temperature. I quite like the lower temperature and enjoy taking cold showers in the evenings because they refresh my body. However, I miss my summer sandals, shorts, and T-shirts. Walking Abby without having to don my jacket and put on several other layers was much easier. The English class with Charlette was fantastic. The sixty minutes flew by like a bullet train. I feel lucky to learn from her. After the lesson, I prepared my high tea cocoa pancakes. I love pancakes. When I devoure...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮

We watched the last episode of Bordertown. Now the series is over and won't be available on Netflix anymore. Moreover, they don't plan to shoot another season yet, so chances are we were lucky to have watched the complete three seasons. Anyway, "Vive le Finnish-Hungarian friendship and Uralic languages!" 🇫🇮🇭🇺 After Ági left for the university, I sat down to study. I received four tasks yesterday from Charlette, and I finished the open cloze text and made some notes on the vocabulary part of the lesson. Now ask me anything about "wear out", "hanker for", "wind up", "drop in on", drop in", "cloak", "spectre", "orb", and "mace". Writing a report, explaining the gist of a video to a B1 level student, and writing a letter to an editor of a magazine are left to be completed. When I finished studying, I made some lunch: the menu was pita-bread with Greek yoghurt and veggies - tomato, spr...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

After a not-so-good night's sleep - I had a terrible dream; a lion wanted to chase me down and eat me - I woke up like a log. Little did I know about how chilly the outside temperature was when I took Abby for her morning walk. Both of us hurried back home. It took me two hours to create the lesson plan before my dentist's appointment, but I did it eventually. Since my temporary bridge had fallen off yesterday, I went to the dentist without it. Anyway, I'll have a new bridge next Wednesday if things pan out. I had a lesson with Ági's student this afternoon. I enjoyed the class and hope the students were also content with it. But the afternoon traffic is lethal. On the way home, there were numerous collisions, and I even saw two cars in the ditch. Crazy drivers should stay indoors. The weather is changing. It's still not typical of October, but the first signs of autumn are visible. The foliage is not as fresh green as it used to be during summer, and the nights are ...
