There is trash inside the elevator, and the whole lift is full of a bad smell

Yesterday was a very hard day, I was very tired, and today I slept for 13 hours. Well, okay, it's not a problem. Let me tell you about my apartment. How much does this apartment cost per week, and what is included for $110?

I've got no idea what kind of mushroom I came across during my bike ride. If you happen to know, feel free to leave a comment!

It was a big relief after the very hot days, which had continued for about a week. So my day started with rainy and fresh weather conditions in the morning. In fact, I need to explain something about the rain, as it continued with thunder and lightning for a few hours from around 9 AM. However, later in the day the weather became comfortable enough. The temperature stayed at around 26°C under the warm and pleasant sun, without any more unpredictable weather conditions.

The last few days have been extremely hot, around 33–36 degrees, and according to my dentist's recommendations, I tried to stay at home. But today, at 8 PM, I finally went for a bike ride after such a long break. I really enjoyed being outside after the hot day, riding under the cloudy and windy evening sky. Even though the temperature was still 29 degrees at 8 PM, the fresh breeze made my calm bike ride around familiar places much more enjoyable.

Here is the luxurious horse-drawn vehicle with our Tatarstan flags that I noticed during the event while I was waiting for the horse race

Yesterday, I wanted to share another post about my experience at the horse racing event, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I had a headache in the evening and missed everything because I fell asleep from 9 PM until 9 AM. I woke up only once, at 2:40 AM, but by then it was already too late to write my post, finish the next chapter of *Goblet of Fire*, and extend my Duolingo streak. So, at that point, I made my bed, undressed, and continued sleeping, even though I didn't have the energy to brush my teeth.

During my trip to the gas station, the weather was a bit rainy, but some parts of the sky were clear, allowing me to see the red sunrise through the clouds

I finished some of my tasks only around 3 AM, and after that, I decided to drive to a nearby gas station. I didn't want to go to sleep yet because I still had enough energy, and my car's tank was absolutely empty after my last trip. At that point, I only had 23 kilometers of range left, so it was a great opportunity to fill up my car's tank and drive through empty city streets.

The old bulb after I finished replacing it, with the rain starting outside

Today's day was a bit rainy, but that didn't stop me from replacing my car's left headlight bulb. The reason was that during my trip yesterday, when I was driving at night, I noticed that my headlight seemed a bit strange and wasn't bright enough. So today, after lunch, when I had finished some routine things, I removed the old bulb because it wasn't working and drove to the auto parts shop. There, I easily found the same OSRAM H4 bulb for about 300 ₽.

I specifically took this photo at the border of the Republic of Tatarstan

Today I also spent the evening at my relatives' place, from 5 PM until I finally arrived home at night. In fact, this visit had already been arranged during my previous trip, which I wrote about in this post. There was another relative there too, and she invited us to spend some time together and have fun. So, this turned into another interesting and enjoyable trip to my relatives' house, which I was visiting for the first time. I already knew about them, but I had never visited their place before. Until then, only my family members had been there.

The third part of the Harry Potter book is on my work desk

During the last few days after my dental surgery, I didn't have enough opportunity to finish the third part of the Harry Potter book on time. Even though I had only the last two chapters left until the end, I was forced to take a few days' rest from reading. As I read out loud, I felt some uncomfortable and sensitive sensations in the operated areas of my mouth. So my reading process finished a bit later than I expected.

I still have some swelling on my right side. I hope it will disappear soon

Today I spent the whole day at home during my routine instead of trying my outdoor activities. As it is, I had a bad experience during yesterday's walk. Because of that, after the walk, the surgery area in my mouth started bleeding. Luckily, it wasn't strong, but it continued for long enough, and I had the taste of blood in my mouth all evening. I even noticed in the morning that my blanket was stained with blood. I really have no idea how it happened; probably my mouth was full, and some bloody saliva just came out.

During those two hours, I sat in the dentist's chair with my mouth open and listened to them talking to each other as they discussed the implant installation process. It wasn't easy for me because my mouth gradually became tired, especially my lower jaw. Thankfully, I had plenty of opportunities to close my mouth and rest a little from time to time. Even so, I still felt a bit uncomfortable. However, everything was tolerable and completely painless.
