久しぶりにバッティングセンター。最初の二十球はほぼ空振りで、当たった音より自分の息のほうがうるさかった。二回目は少し前で当たるようになって、手の中に残る感じが違う。芯を外すと指までびりっとくるけど、ちゃんと当たった球はあまり痛くないんだな。右手首が気になって最後は見送った。まだ打てる気はしたけど、明日も丸付けがあるし。帰りの自転車で風が背中に入って、汗が冷たかった。家に着いたら急にお腹がすいて、夕飯の前にパンを一つ食べた。母にまた食べるのと聞かれて、これは別と答えたけど何が別なのか。座った今になって太ももが重い。普段は自転車十二分で運動した気になってるからな。
После смены сняла дома обувь и сразу почувствовала, насколько устали стопы. Пока стою у лабораторного стола, это почти не замечается, внимание занято пробами и временем. Села, положила ноги на табуретку, но через минуту вспомнила про бельё. Встала и поняла, что торопиться некуда: до вечера оно успеет высохнуть. Вернулась на диван. В квартире было тихо, только холодильник включался, и постепенно перестало тянуть под лопатками. Давление измерила в обычное время, записала. Самым приятным оказалось потом умыться тёплой водой и надеть мягкую домашнюю кофту, у которой ничего не давит на запястья.

I made another list about the Ontario transfer and noticed half the reasons against it were questions I hadn't actually asked anyone. What happens to my role when I return, how the housing allowance works, whether two years is fixed. I've been treating all the unknowns as evidence that going is a bad idea, which would get a fairly sharp comment from me in an audit. Sent three questions to HR instead of opening a fourth comparison document. The answers won't tell me whether I'll be happy there, unfortunately. That is the part I keep trying to get somebody else to certify. At least I'll be deciding about the actual offer and not the alarming version I've built around it.

6:20. Went running without a podcast because my headphones were dead, a technical failure my entire personality considered a personal attack. For the first block all I could hear was my own breathing, which seemed unnecessarily loud. Then I stopped trying to run at the speed I imagine a person who runs should maintain and things got less awful. Cool air on my arms, warm chest, feet landing without commentary in my ears. Got home hungry, an actual stomach request separate from the usual coffee situation. Ate while my partner was getting ready for bed. I was still sweaty enough that she declined the hug until after the shower.

Mon père m'a envoyé les chiffres de sa sortie vélo et j'ai commencé à comparer avec la précédente avant même de lui demander où il était allé. On fait ça tous les deux depuis des années, ce n'est pas une compétition officielle mais il y a quand même un petit classement dans nos têtes. Ensuite il m'a raconté qu'il s'était arrêté voir un copain et avait oublié de relancer sa montre. Donc les chiffres ne voulaient pas dire grand-chose. Je repense à nos balades quand j'étais petit, où le repère était surtout la boulangerie du retour. Je ne sais plus quand on a commencé à raconter les sorties par leur moyenne. Lui non plus, apparemment.

The younger utility worker opened the school gate before I arrived and greeted the children in his own way, much louder than me. They answered loudly also. I was pleased he remembered the time, but when a teacher went straight to him about a classroom key I felt something unpleasant for a moment. He knew where it was, because I had shown him. That should be good news. I did not interrupt, just checked the visitor log beside them. Later he asked me to confirm the room number and I answered too quickly, almost happily. Ay, I complain that everybody needs me, then this is my reaction when one morning they manage without asking.
Spent an hour looking for the right bit for the ute and found a bloke on the forum with exactly the same problem. His photos were useful except for the one angle I needed. Could have asked him to take another, but started searching old posts instead, in case somebody had already asked and I'd look like I hadn't bothered. Six years reading that forum and apparently my first contribution has to meet some fairly high standard. Drafted a question, checked the part number, checked his photos again. The boss called me for tea before I posted it. Question's still sitting there. It's about a bracket, not an application to run the country.

Me probé una blusa de las nuevas para saber cómo cae al levantar los brazos, porque una cosa es verla quieta en la percha y otra alcanzar la repisa con ella puesta. Me quedaba bien de hombros, pero al sentarme el botón del medio tiraba un poco y pasé todo el rato enderezando la espalda. Qué cansado estar pendiente de una blusa. Luego volví a mi camiseta y pude inclinarme sobre los zapatos sin acomodar nada primero. Me gustaba bastante el color de la otra, eso sí. Dejé una talla más grande separada para probarla mañana, cuando no tenga una clienta esperando al otro lado de la cortina.

la veuve qui vient à la table huit m'a demandé ce que je faisais les jours où je servais pas, pis pour une fois j'ai pas répondu une niaiserie tout de suite. elle demandait pour vrai, pas parce que sa soupe tardait. je lui ai parlé du parc Jarry et elle a dit qu'elle aimait marcher là. coudonc, j'ai eu le cœur jeune d'un coup, pas un grand cinéma, juste content qu'il y ait peut-être une prochaine conversation sans mon tablier entre nous deux. je lui ai proposé un café un après-midi et elle a dit pourquoi pas. depuis je trouve que pourquoi pas c'est une très belle réponse, ma fille va me trouver impossible dimanche.

Wore a pair of boots from the shop to a gig because they looked class and felt grand for the entire thirty seconds I tested them. By the second band I was shifting from one foot to the other and pretending that was dancing. My boyfriend asked if I wanted to sit, which I rejected on principle, then accepted about one song later. Taking them off back at the flat was nearly better than the gig, and the nurses gave me a very unsympathetic welcome. The boots are lovely. My feet are not currently speaking to them. I've put my boring trainers beside the door for tomorrow, where they'll be smugly waiting to take me to work.
