Three days without diary entries is not the best performance. But now I have to recapitulate everything that happened. This is not simple, but I will try.

On Christmas Eve, we visited our daughter and her children. We exchanged presents … Lies weiter

No sports today. The reason: not to relax, but a lack of time. Our prep for Christmas took the whole day. I had to go shopping—not for presents, but for groceries. It was a lot. A small part of our

1. I give again my daily diary entry. First, I want to say it’s very boring to always tell my diary the same things. In the future, I want to tell more interesting things and give only the daily duties I

Every day is different. While I evaluated the last two days rather positively, I have to say today was and is close to terrible. Early in the morning, I noticed this is not my … Lies weiter

Yesterday, a terrible day. Today, quite a different one. Why? I don’t know. My feeling today wasn’t better than yesterday. I started a talk with ChatGPT. First, again, about pronunciation exercises with ChatGPT. I made a new proposal because the … Lies weiter

Yesterday was a terrible day, even though it started well. I had a longer walk of about two and a half kilometers. Later, I had to go to a key shop by bicycle. On the way, there’s a very narrow … Lies weiter

In the morning of Saturday I start to speak English with ChatGPT. The start was a little clumsy, but after some time I used it more and more successfully. Now I am going on a road and some other people … Lies weiter

“Today in the morning, I lay in bed reading the first articles of The New York Times. I forgot the content, so I had to stop and think about it, but perhaps it’s not important for today. After breakfast, I … Lies weiter

3 NYT article heard, read and again heard, one story heard during power training. Nothing written. I’m not sure if I have to power my speaking. I’m looking for a trick to overcome my inhebitence to speak. I’m not anxious … Lies weiter

This day began very well because, after a very nice night with only one interruption to go for peeing, which is very rare—I woke up at 8:15, very, very late for me. After this good start, unfortunately, I couldn’t study … Lies weiter

Morning Reflection:

Because I’m not sure I’ll have time in the evening to report on my health progress, I’ve decided to change my routine slightly. For now, I’ll start with a short session on my ergobike and some quick gymnastic … Lies weiter
