Eureka

Little did I know how the day would unfold when I woke up this morning. However, I was as pleased as punch when I realised I hadn’t woken up once during the night. It was about time, though. The last two weeks, seasoned with restless nights, took their toll. My system was close to exhaustion. I wasn’t thinking straight, and even the easiest chores seemed like hard labour. Nevertheless, my energy was at rock bottom, barely reaching my soles.

Anyway, let’s navigate back to today. Since I made the first essential step towards complete recuperation - sleeping like a log uninterrupted - I had high hopes for the rest of the day. My mind was full of beautiful ideas and plans, and my brain became a racing track for thoughts galloping like an impetuous foal. I really was full of beans even though the unequivocal signs of brain fog were written all over my face - a grotesque still-life on a bio canvas.

When I finally accommodated myself with my dreary reflection in the mirror - as I’ve been doing for more than five decades - the weather spoiled the fun. Grey clouds gathered suddenly, heralding a menacing period. As the temperatures and the pressure dropped, so did our mood. What we found initially uplifting turned into an energy magnet sucking all the remnants of a long-forgotten energetic state, which made me think of the potential causes of our tenuous condition.

As my mind attempted to comprehend the possible causes, a sudden epiphany lit up the darkest corners of my mind, conducing to an overall understanding. It suddenly dawned on me that despite recovering from COVID-19, some of its notable long-term side effects are intense fatigue and brain fog. All of these factors can be attributed to our current condition. All these unpleasant factors, seasoned with an unusually early spring, contributed to our current mental and physical states. Eureka, at least we know the reasons.

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...

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...

Montag 🇦🇹

We are in Austria. After waking up and devouring breakfast, Ági took Abby to the dog daycare, and I packed my things for the journey. We set out at eleven o'clock, washed the car, and hit the road to get here. The highway was busy, so it took us three hours to reach Parndorf, where we had lunch at Nordsee and drank coffee at Tommy Hilfiger. We did some shopping, only bought the necessary goods and left for the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 4 p.m., checked in, and drove off to another shopping centre to buy other goods we couldn't find in Parndorf. The hotel is quite nice from the inside. However, the facade and the overall look from the outside seem rather outdated; we felt like being in one of Budapest's hotels. Anyway, the staff is alright, the room is clean, and the view is breathtaking. Since tomorrow is a national holiday here, we'll visit a winemaker in Oslip to buy quality wine - Passatutti. We planned to have "Wiener Schnitzel" there and spend the ...
