Today the weather was a bit rainy, cloudy, without any sun, and the temperature was around 0 or +1 degrees. It’s a bit crazy, because I clearly remember that one year ago I arrived in Kazan from Turkey, and the weather back then wasn’t so bad, because everything was frozen. The temperature was below zero, and another very important thing — there was no rain and everything was dry. However, the weather app shows that cold air will arrive only around December 6–8. Until that time, the temperature will be around +4 degrees. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but for me it’s better, because I’m still using my summer tires, and +4 is definitely better than –10.

My VPN started working. Yesterday, after I shared the post about it, I decided to check my VPN again. At first, my VPN client showed a long loading animation, and then I remembered my settings — I had changed them before, and maybe I broke something. Because of that, I restored my backed-up settings and tried to connect again. And it was a surprising moment: the VPN connected without any errors and everything started working. I couldn’t even imagine it, because I thought everything was damaged. Today I’ve already been using my VPN all day without any issues and without any doubts about privacy.

For the last few days, my VPN stopped working. Internet providers decided to ban the XRay/Vless protocols as well. I already tried to reconfigure my VPN client using Hiddify configs, hoping it would help. But everything turned out badly — none of my attempts to fix it brought any results. After that, I simply hoped that maybe after a few days it would start working again, but unfortunately nothing happened. My VPN still doesn’t work, and I’m starting to doubt it will ever work again. I also read some news channels about this, and they said that even China hasn’t banned this protocol. But in Russia they went even further and managed to block it.

My morning started with snow again. When I woke up and looked out of the window, everything was white. Honestly, all of it surprised me a little; I couldn’t even imagine snow, because last evening and night it was +3 to +5 degrees. And today the air temperature was still a bit high, and it didn’t make me happy, because drops were falling from the roofs and everything was wet. Also, the weather was not comfortable, even though the temperature was on the plus side. Everything was gray, dirty, and wet, and the sky was covered with clouds, but fortunately it wasn’t raining like yesterday.

Today I woke up a bit late, around 9:35 AM, and when I came to the window I saw rainy weather outside. Honestly, it didn’t surprise me, because I had already noticed it during the night around 1 AM. At that time, I had just finished watching a video about WW2 and wanted to go to bed. Also, yesterday I bragged about the good weather and how I saw the sun every morning. And today I saw just a rainy, cold, and gray day through my window. Well, okay, it’s not a problem for me and I don’t want to whine about it.

These last days the weather has not been so bad, even though the sun appeared only for a short time. But each day I started to see the sun in the sky during my wake-up time, and I started my day with sunny weather. Also, the weather has been dry and the temperature is around –1 to +1 degrees. Therefore today I could meet my sunny and slightly clear-sky morning again. The sky was a bit covered with clouds, but the sun still found some clear parts of the sky and brightened the earth. Even though the sun didn’t shine as brightly as on previous days, I had a good mood.

I had just a perfect day. I have several reasons for it. First and the main reason is salary day. Yeah, today was salary day. I love these days so much. I wish days like this happened more often. The next reason is the weather. Today I also saw the sun — no rain and no strange weather accidents. Even though the sun appeared only for half of the day, it was still good and improved my mood. Another reason is my work. Today I had such a cool task, and it really satisfied me. I think it’s that feeling when you work and you’re satisfied with yourself. And then after that, you also get your salary. I can't say my other workdays are bad — I just want to say that today brought me that feeling twice.

The first part of my day started with a sunny morning around 8 AM. It was a bit unusual because someone was speaking loudly outside and my window was slightly open. Of course, they didn’t interrupt me — I heard them only after I woke up. But it was my fault; I just forgot to close my window properly, and I spent the whole night with it open. However, the room where I slept had fresh air and was a little cold. Even though it was cold, the air felt very fresh and it boosted my mood. Also, today was sunny until lunchtime. But the second part of my day was already cloudy and a bit windy, but without rain.

Yesterday I wrote about the snow, but today everything was wet and dirty. Around midnight, everything started to melt. I realized it when I went to bed and looked through the window. It was around 1 AM, maybe 1:30 AM. At that time, drops started to fall from the roof, and puddles began to appear on the roads. In the morning everything had melted, and all the white blanket had disappeared. Now the weather outside is +9 degrees, but fortunately, it didn’t rain, even though the whole day was cloudy.

Today, while I was working and doing my tasks, someone came to the door. I heard it by the sound of footsteps. Then he tried to pull the door handle and open it, but he couldn’t. After that, he knocked. But it felt a bit unusual and made me anxious, because I thought it could be someone else. Of course, it wasn’t about robbery or bad guys. It was more about the military office staff, police officers, or similar people. Therefore, I came to the door very slowly and carefully. I didn’t want to make any sounds because I didn’t want anyone to know that someone was inside. I tried to keep maximum privacy and accuracy. However, when I looked through the door, it was my uncle. He just decided to visit us because he was driving near our home. Also, I told him to never pull the door handle, because it’s a bit stressful.

This day brought me ridiculously bad weather because the rain fell non-stop all day. The whole sky was covered with dark clouds, and the entire world looked as dark as possible. Because of that, I couldn’t go for a walk, and I spent the first part of my day at home. I couldn’t even do anything useful, because I overslept a bit. When I got up from my bed, it was already around 10 AM. After brushing my teeth and shaving my face, it was almost 11 AM — basically lunchtime. So I just grabbed some cookies with water and went to my laptop to watch my American show.

Today is Friday, November 14, and I woke up just ten minutes before work. As soon as I opened my eyes, I noticed how the sun was shining outside and filling my room with warm light. The sky was also deeply blue, and this combination made me happy and gave me a great mood for the whole day. After I checked my phone, I decided to get up and open the windows because it was an iconic, beautiful day that felt like it was welcoming me. While I was doing my morning routine, my room quickly filled with fresh, cold air. It felt like a powerful opportunity to start my day and finish it successfully.
