I wasn’t feeling my best today, mostly annoyed at myself for being so unproductive.
I pretty much slept all morning and didn’t really get up until noon. Last night, Hamer was tossing and turning, clearly uncomfortable, moving around a lot, sometimes even crying. I asked her what was wrong, but she couldn’t really explain—I think she didn’t even know herself. She woke up early this morning with a nosebleed. I helped her stop the bleeding and comforted her for a bit, then turned on Starfall for her to watch. But her nose still felt stuffy, and when she tried to clear it, the bleeding started again. After that, Xiaoyan took over caring for her, and I went back to sleep, all the way until eleven.
Xiaoyan took Hamer out for breakfast and even took her to get a facial around noon. And me? I just stayed in bed, scrolling on my phone, feeling all sluggish. Finally, past noon, I got myself up, ate the breakfast they brought back for me, and then sat down to watch some Korean drama.
Thankfully, something in the afternoon helped me get a bit of my rhythm back. The water heater installer came over, which sort of rescued my otherwise wasted Sunday. We checked the setup at home, drilled a hole through the glass for the vent pipe, removed the old one, and put in the new one. The whole thing took a little over two hours. The guy worked really efficiently and paid a lot of attention to detail. I was quite happy with the job he did. After that, I tidied up the kitchen and balcony while watching COU ultimate frisbee matches. The Bologna team was seriously impressive. I found myself getting caught up in the game—it felt like just the mental break I needed.
Xiaoyan got home early in the afternoon and ended up dozing off on the couch while watching TV. Hamer went to the amusement park with her friends and didn’t come back until evening.
By nighttime, we just kept it simple—dinner, freshen up, and then off to bed. Almost all the appliances at home have been replaced now, and using them today felt really nice. It was one of the few bright spots of the day.
Working overtime on Friday night and Saturday completely threw off my routine, and honestly, it just wasn’t worth it. The worst part is that the overtime didn’t even yield good results; it just wore me down. On top of that, not sleeping well these past couple of days made it even harder to get up this morning. I was just in such a lazy and tired mood—it was a pretty rough day, all in all.
