Разбирал на балконе детский велосипед и думал, стоит ли сейчас переставлять сиденье выше. Сын уже достаёт до педалей, но при остановке ещё тянется носками, а во дворе покрытие неровное. Мне хочется всё сразу выставить как надо, отец говорит: посмотри сначала, как он сам едет. У взрослых проще, есть размер и понятное положение ноги. Тут за неделю может измениться и рост, и желание вообще садиться на велосипед. Оставил пока на прежней высоте, проверил крепление. Завтра вынесем во двор, пусть попробует без моих объяснений на каждом метре. Хотя совсем не подсказывать я, наверное, не смогу.

One of my older clients asked what music I liked when I was a kid, and I named a song from Brazil before I remembered that she'd asked because she wanted a new walking playlist. Now I'm trying to find a version without a ten-minute intro or somebody shouting over the recording. I keep clicking other songs from that year and remembering cousins I haven't seen in ages. Funny how I can forget someone's apartment number and still know the words we sang on their balcony. The playlist is becoming completely wrong for this woman. I'm making her a separate one and keeping this messy one for the drive. She asked for twenty minutes. I'm already over an hour.

আমার দোকান বন্ধ হওয়ার কথা লিখতে বসে দেখলাম, অংশীদারের ভুলের জন্য অনেকটা জায়গা রেখেছি, নিজের ধার করে বেশি মাল তোলার কথাটা এক লাইনে শেষ। হিসাবটা এমন ছিল না। তার কাছে পাওনা ছিল ঠিক, কিন্তু টাকা ফেরত আসবে ধরে যে খরচ করেছিলাম, সেই সিদ্ধান্ত আমার। নাতনিরা একদিন পড়লে শুধু একজন খারাপ লোকের জন্য দাদার সর্বনাশ হয়েছিল ভাবুক, তা চাই না। আবার সব দোষ নিজের ঘাড়ে নিলেও মিথ্যা হবে। আজ নামগুলো বাদ দিয়ে কে কী সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিল তার ছোট তালিকা করেছি। গল্প পরে লিখব। রাগের জায়গায় এখনও বাক্য শক্ত হয়ে যায়, সেটা আগে চোখে পড়ত না, আজ পড়েছে।

tava escolhendo uma música pra viagem da família e percebi que cada um lembra de um São João diferente, eu falo daquela noite em Caruaru e minha irmã lembra do ônibus atrasado, minha mãe lembra de quem ficou com fome. eu lembro do forró e parece que dancei a noite inteira sem parar, mas alguém teve que ir buscar água e guardar as bolsas, né. perguntei pra minha irmã qual música tocou primeiro e ela mandou três, todas dizendo tenho certeza kkkkk agora fiz uma lista com as três e mais umas, não precisa resolver essa investigação toda. minha filha quer colocar as dela no meio, aí sim começou a discussão séria do dia

البنت اللي في القسم سألتني على تمرين الرياضيات، موش في القروب، جات وقفت قدّام طاولتي وسألتني. كنت نعرف الحل أما أول جملة خرجت ناقصة، رجعت ورّيتها في الكراس أسهل. قالت فهمت وقعدت تسألني على الخطوة اللي بعدها. ارتحت كي ولات الحكاية أرقام، نعرف وين نحط يدي ووين نشوف. بعد مشات وأنا بقيت نعاود كيفاش قلت الجملة الأولى، مع أنها ما علّقتش وما ضحكتش. فرحت كي قالت ميرسي، هذا هو. كتبت التمرين نظيف أكثر من اللازم بعد الحصة، ما نعرفش علاش. خوي قال وجهي يضحك كي روحت، قلتلو يزي ما فيه شي، وزدت تقلقت خاطر لاحظ.

Spent an hour on the kitchen chair working on an old reel, then stood up as though I had been sitting there all winter. Shoulder stiff, fingers cold despite the room being warm. Went out for a walk before tea. Once the arms were swinging properly the left side eased, and I could turn my head without turning my whole body with it. A wee breeze, no rain, no damp cuffs for a change. Came back hungry. My wife said that was the first useful result of the reel repair. Fair enough. It still needs a part, but my hands had warmed up and I could open the stubborn jar without asking her this time.

Hoy almorcé sentada antes de volver a la barra, cosa revolucionaria, avisen a los periódicos. Tenía el estómago vacío y ya iba por otra prueba de café, mejor guardé la taza. Con comida de verdad se me quitó esa sensación ácida que una termina confundiendo con hambre. Aflojé los zapatos debajo de la mesa y estiré los dedos, qué descanso después de tanta ida al molino. La muñeca seguía cansada pero dejé de apretar la cuchara como si fuera el tamper. Cuando volví, la compañera dijo que parecía otra. Tampoco exagerés, le dije, sigo siendo yo y esa jarra sigue mal puesta jajaja. Pero el cuerpo ya estaba menos encachimbado.

A relative rang to tell me I would be available to accompany someone to an appointment because I do not work that day. Not ask, tell. I was quite sharp in correcting that small piece of information. I could have helped, as it happens, but I wanted the choice left intact. Now the family message says I am busy, which is easier for everyone than saying I was annoyed. I am annoyed. My husband says they are accustomed to my making things work, and he means it as a compliment. Tonight it does not feel like one. I will call tomorrow and decide what I can offer. I have no intention of explaining every empty space in my calendar first.

My sister stopped by with groceries and Mom started listing everything I had cooked Sunday like she was nominating me for an award. Told her it was one pot and she was drawlin. Sister said she knew what I made because Mom had sent pictures. Didn't know there was a whole publicity department for my food. Felt good though. Since the stroke people ask how I'm doing so carefully sometimes, like they're waiting for a bad answer. This was just them arguing about who got leftovers. I told my sister there'd be more next week if she showed up before the nephew ate it. She said save some. I'll save some. Might make extra without announcing that part.
