Weekly Digest

The 10th week of the year revealed many conundrums. We came to realise that our initial assumptions about our sleeping issues can be solely attributed to the long-term effects of COVID-19. These post-infection impacts fundamentally affected our unusually erratic sleeping patterns and routines. One day, we slept like logs, whereas the next night turned into a waking ordeal.

If our sleepless nights hadn’t been enough tribulation, the weather ensured an additional detrimental factor. Navigating the days seemed challenging due to the early spring imposed fatigue and weariness, often resulting in us nodding off every ten minutes. Even the discernibly longer bright hours couldn’t boost our mood, however the morning walks with Abby, the dog, on the bright streets were quite noteworthy.

Similarly, my warped perception of passing time was also worth mentioning the other day. I attempted to defend my conclusion by purporting the significance of the distorting nature of the passing of time. However, in hindsight, it might be an utter poppycock. Rather, our perception that time is passing faster is due to the fact that we are getting older day by day, and our brains become loonier.

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

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

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
