I arrived in the village at around 4 PM and immediately started washing and vacuuming my car. It was a mess both inside and outside, even though I don't use it every day. All four passenger floor mats were dusty and covered with frozen mud after the trip to the forest to check on the wild strawberries. Some parts of the carpet and seats were also smeared with some dirty, undefined substance. But the outside wasn't that bad. The rain over the past few weeks had basically washed it off, so it looked much cleaner. This time, I decided to clean it properly by myself, as I had a good opportunity to do it out in the village, surrounded by nature.

This day started at 8 AM. I was woken up by the words, “We are late, you need to be quick,” because my family was invited to an event in another village. After I woke up, I did my morning routine, got dressed, and drove to the village. I drove as fast as I could because I didn’t want to make my family late. That event was important for them. The second reason was the road conditions. I couldn’t check the road conditions in advance, so I wanted to get on the road earlier to make sure everything was okay. I was worried that the road might not be clean enough or that I could get stuck somewhere.

The weather was so lovely because the sun had been shining since morning, and the sky was so clear. Today I woke up a bit late — at 9 AM. At that time, I should have started working, but by the time I finished my morning routine, it was already close to my first meeting. Honestly, I was only 2–3 minutes late, and a few colleagues joined after me, so I wasn’t the last to connect. Those who joined earlier were just discussing everyday worries and world news. However, after a few minutes, once everyone was connected, we talked about our tasks and some issues for around fifteen to twenty minutes.
