Canon's Diary
Action without thought is empty; thought without action is blind – Goethe

Thursday night’s tennis lesson had been quite intense, so I really struggled through work on Friday, worn out and weary. I somehow managed to get everything done and made it home, only to fall asleep almost instantly from exhaustion. Then came Saturday morning—the weekend, at last. I woke up around 7 a.m. It was June…

I woke up around 9 a.m. My body was completely wrecked from last night’s intense tennis session. I couldn’t get myself out of bed for a while. My stomach was growling, too. Still, I somehow managed to sit up, opened the curtains. It was Sunday morning, June 1st. There were clouds in the sky, but…

I woke up around 8 a.m. My back left molar ached. For the past couple of days, something had been stuck between my teeth and I couldn’t get it out. I didn’t yet have things like toothpicks at home, so I’d just left it alone. But this morning, the pain was bad enough that I…
