one of the little kids at the park landed his first drop-in while i was filming and came straight over to see it, still shaking and grinning. i showed him and he asked if i could send it to his dad. no tags, no followers, just wanted his dad to see he did it. i was properly stoked for him, then a bit embarrassed remembering how i'd been sulking about my own edit getting hardly any views. doesn't mean i suddenly don't care about that, i checked again on the bus. but when the kid sent back a voice message saying his dad watched it three times, it made the whole morning feel good again. kept that message, actually.

واحد من زبايني القدام دخل المحل ومعاه حفيده، وقال له ده عمك اللي جبت منه أول حوض سمك لأبوك. الولد كان عايز يشوف السمك بس، وأنا مبسوط بالجملة وفضلت أسأل الراجل عن ابنه اللي كبر وبقى أب. في وسط الكلام ناداني باسم مراتي بالغلط وهو بيحكي عن أيام المحل الأولى، فسكتنا حبة. زعلت واتبسطت في نفس الوقت إنه لسه فاكرها قاعدة عند الباب، مش بس فاكرني أنا والأقفاص. حكيت له إنها كانت تقول السمك بياكل أكتر مننا. ضحكنا، وبعد ما مشي لقيتني عايز أحكي لها مين جه النهارده. دي أكتر حاجة بتوحشني، الكلام الصغير آخر اليوم.

午饭后老婆看店，我到后屋眯了一下，本来只想坐二十分钟，鞋都没脱，结果醒来脚背被鞋带勒出了印子。把鞋松开，脚趾动一动，才知道上午站得蛮久。前头有人推门我听得见，就是不想马上起来，饭吃饱了，身上暖，眼睛闭着舒服。老婆喊我喝水，我说醒了，其实还想再靠一会儿。后来真起来，在门口伸了伸腰，腿没有刚才那么沉了。现在搬货慢一点也有好处，不是一上午做完就非得一口气站到晚上。小凳子还是硬，坐久了屁股硌得慌，改天把家里那个旧垫子拿出来，反正放柜子里也没人用。

Buku bekas yang saya beli menjelaskan tanah dengan gambar lapisan yang rapi sekali, berbeda dengan lubang di kebun saya yang warnanya bercampur. Saya membaca bagian itu dua kali karena ingin tahu apakah gambar itu hanya contoh atau memang saya kurang dalam menggali. Biasanya kalau petani bertanya, saya jawab dari yang pernah saya kerjakan, tetapi pertanyaan sendiri begini bisa tinggal berhari-hari. Besok saya mau membawa bukunya ke kantor dan bertanya kepada petugas yang paham. Ada kata yang belum saya mengerti, sudah saya tandai dengan sobekan bungkus bibit supaya tidak lupa halaman berapa.

My daughter called while I was putting groceries away and said she had a few minutes before heading out. We didn't get into anything important, just the price of something she'd bought and a neighbor's dog. I liked hearing her laugh with someone in the room at her end. Then she had to go, and I wanted those few minutes to have been longer. Can't reasonably want her to have a good full life and be available whenever my hours line up with hers, but reason doesn't get every vote. Finished putting the groceries away. Found I'd put the cereal in the fridge while we were talking. She'll enjoy that next Sunday.

Took the long walk with my partner and noticed how differently my feet behave in shoes that haven't spent twelve hours on a rental kitchen floor. The first few blocks were stiff under the heels, then my stride opened up and I stopped scanning ahead for somewhere to sit. We split a pastry standing beside a little wall, which is technically another meal on my feet, but nobody was waiting for me to carry anything. My shoulders stayed down without reminders. Back home the cat wanted my lap before I'd removed my jacket, and for once sitting still felt good immediately, not like a delayed discovery of every sore part.

Meu pai mandou uma foto sentado na frente da oficina, sem carro para mostrar, só ele tomando café com um vizinho. Fiquei feliz de ver o rosto dele inteiro porque nas chamadas sempre aparece só a testa ou o ventilador. Daí fui aumentando a foto e vi que o vizinho estava usando uma camisa que era minha. Ri sozinho no ônibus. Ao mesmo tempo deu uma saudade chata de poder chegar ali e perguntar se tinha café pra mim também, sem primeiro conferir sinal e horário. Mandei um áudio brincando com a camisa. Meu pai respondeu que eu deixei coisas demais no armário, então ainda tenho casa lá.

One of the six a.m. ladies told a new client she had followed me all the way from my old gym because she did not want another trainer. She said it while tying her shoe, like it was obvious. Somehow I was happy and embarrassed together. Wanted to hear her say more and also wanted everyone to begin the warm-up immediately. I keep remembering the equipment leaving that place and the money still owing, so it surprised me that she remembered it as somewhere she liked to come. Told my boyfriend about it and he said yes, people like you. He sounded almost annoyed that this was news to me. I was still pleased on the boda home.

彼氏と次の休みを相談してたら、何食べるかで十分くらい話して、結局いつもの店になった。結婚の話は何も出なかったけど、これがずっと続くのかなとは考えた。嫌なわけじゃない、注文を迷わないのも、車で黙っていて平気なのも楽。ただ、私が大阪のライブの話をするときと同じ感じで、これからの暮らしを話せる日は来るんだろうか。家を出たいのか、この町を出たいのか聞かれたら、どっちにも即答できない。来月の休みすら彼の夜勤次第なのに、何年も先を一人で決めようとしてるのも変か。とりあえず次は別の店、と送ろうとして、まだ送ってない。

My son asked whether a bridge knows how much weight is on it. I explained that structures don't know things, then spent ten minutes using words like responds and carries, which probably did not help my case. He wasn't asking for a load calculation. He wanted to know why something that looks still can be doing so much. I've been turning that question over because it's a better starting point than the explanation I gave. At his age I built a popsicle-stick bridge and mostly wanted it to hold more books than anybody else's. I can remember the moment it failed very clearly. I don't remember once wondering what it was doing before that.
