Ah yes, Monday again. The day that arrives far too early, wearing that smug look as if it’s done us all a favor.
This morning was sunny and warm — the kind of weather that tricks you into thinking the day will go smoothly. By afternoon, of course, it turned gray and moody, threatening rain like a soap opera star about to cry.
I woke up at 4 a.m. (don’t ask why). Was I awake? Not really. But I drank coffee, read the news, and pretended to be a functional human. Then, from 5 to 6, I went for a run. From 6 to 7, I swam. Basically, I did everything possible before most people have even found their socks.
After breakfast around 9, I walked to the supermarket to buy a few essentials — because apparently, running out of coffee twice in one week is frowned upon.
This afternoon, I finally switched this blog back to English and made some design and navigation changes. I’m not entirely sure if that was a good idea… The sidebar on the homepage is gone now (RIP sidebar), and new posts are also sidebar-free. The old sidebar has been exiled to the bottom of the page, and there’s now a translation button on the lower left corner.
Can you handle that? Is anyone even reading this? (Hello? Tap twice if you exist.)
In between all that, I also raided the fridge and threw a bunch of vaguely compatible leftovers into the blender. Somehow, through the miracle of chaos cooking, I ended up with a bowl of spicy hummus. Not sure if it’s edible or weaponized, but it definitely wakes up the taste buds.
The rest of the day went as usual: another swim from 4 to 5 p.m., followed by some quality streaming time — very exhausting, of course.
Greetings from the sunshine — at least until the next cloud rolls in. 🌤️
