Car

My morning started at 10 a.m. because I woke up a bit late. However, the first time I woke up was around 7 a.m., and then I fell asleep again. In the early morning, my relatives wanted to visit the local market, so it was a bit loud and bright because my door was open. After I woke up, while I was walking to the bathroom, I looked through the window and checked the weather outside. In the bathroom, as usual, I did my morning routine. But today it took around one hour. During that time, I carefully brushed my teeth, shaved my face, and washed my hair. When I finished my routine, the time was already 11 a.m., and there was one hour left before lunch. But I didn’t wait for lunch because yesterday I bought some muesli and wanted to try it. The muesli had a new apple flavor, and I really wanted to try it. I also didn’t skip lunch — I had it on time.

The weather temperature has continued to stay in minus degrees. And this morning, outside it was around –15 degrees. It's already cold, but if the wind blows, it will feel even colder. Also, today and yesterday were sunny days. And at night, while I was driving to my city, I saw a clear sky with the moon and stars. I think it's better than +5 and wet weather, because everything is frozen and dry. However, I have one problem with my car’s antifreeze for my front window — it just froze. Now I need to wait for a warm day or park the car in a warm garage. When I bought it, the bottle said –20 degrees, if I’m correct. But in real life, it froze at –10 degrees. Right now, I can’t use my car wipers, and yesterday I also couldn’t use them.

I got up at 6 AM, and it was still dark outside. As I was getting dressed, I looked out the window and noticed the lights in my neighbors’ homes and the shadows of people hurrying around as they prepared for work. I, however, had different plans, so I headed to Kazan early in the morning. When I passed through Arsk at around 7:15 AM, it was still quite dark, and I eventually reached my final destination at 8:35 AM. Since my appointment was at 9, I had about twenty-five minutes to spare. I went to check the clinic doors because I saw one girl working on a laptop inside and another walking around the rooms, but the door was locked. That’s when I realized they were still getting ready for the workday, so I waited outside. While I was waiting, I saw a young man and a girl go in, and I assumed they were staff, so I kept waiting. But then a woman and her small daughter walked inside, and at that moment I understood everything — I simply needed to press the button on the right side to open the door.

My morning was a bit unusual today. When I woke up around 9 AM, I realized how much I missed my morning meeting. So, I decided to check our work chat on Telegram. But there was nothing — it was quiet, and nobody had written any messages. After a few minutes, I remembered that it was still my weekend. But today is my last weekend, and tomorrow I need to start work. Well, even though I miss it, I think nothing bad happened, and nobody is going to yell at me for it. I hope that's true — I don't want to test it. In fact, I don’t even remember anyone skipping their morning meeting before. My main goal is to keep my work habits clear and to respect my colleagues. Also, I don’t really remember missing my morning meeting.

Today is November 1st, Saturday — the last month of autumn. It was my workday, as I mentioned before. The day wasn’t too difficult, and the weather was also nice. The sun didn’t shine, but it was dry and a bit warm. My work tasks were easy and clear, so I completed them quickly and finished my workday successfully. However, I also have some updates about my Turkish SIM card and how I used it for my websites and bank accounts.

The last few days, the weather hasn’t made me happy because it’s been raining every day, the sky covered with clouds, and the temperature has been low, around 2–5 degrees. Today, when I got up from bed, I noticed the weather from my window. Outside, it was raining and cold, and I even heard the wind blowing against my windows. It was just a typical autumn day, with the trees covered in a golden blanket, and some trees had already lost their leaves. But I didn’t decide to be sad. I got up, dressed, and went to the bathroom to complete my morning routine. After as usual, I ate my breakfast, watched my American show, and then started my work.

Good evening everyone. Yesterday I arrived in my hometown and I was very tired. I even skipped my English practice and couldn’t use Duolingo. Duolingo gave me one "freezing day". I lay down around 7–8 PM for 1–2 hours but fell asleep. I woke up at 2 AM, but by then it was already very late, so I decided to continue sleeping and finally woke up at 9 AM.

I was subscribed to one American YouTube blogger, Emelia Hartford. She talks about cars, fixes them, and goes to car races. And today I watched another one of her videos where she raced and talked about a race car. Now I recall the movie Gran Turismo, and I understood that she was filmed in that movie. However, she is also an actress.

A few days ago, I promised to tell you about our car — how much it cost, why we chose it, and how I felt driving on the left side of the road. Well, now I can finally tell you.

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how there’s no snow and when it will finally come, but unexpectedly, today the snow has piled up. Everything around is covered in white, pristine snow. Even the trees have snow on their branches, like little snowflakes. It feels like winter arrived suddenly!
