내일 출근해야 하는데 요즘 재택 하면서 너무 늦게 자서 오늘은 일찍 자기 위해 공부를 일찍 시작했다.

재택 하면서 생활 패턴이 조금 깨진 것 같다.

출근에 대한 부담이 없다 보니 공부도 미루면서 늦게 하고,

공부 끝나고도 바로 잠들지 않고 다른 짓 하다가 늦게 자고...

다시 출퇴근 생활 패턴으로 바꿔야겠다.

늦어도 1시 이전엔 잘 수 있도록 노력해야지.

모르는 단어는 많고...

문맥상 대충은 알겠는데 정확한 의미를 알고 싶어서 사전을 찾고 있다.

동화책이다 보니 그림 보고 대충 알만한 것들은 알겠는데,

삶에 너무 찌들었나? 그림 보고도 이해가 안 가는 것들이 있다.

뭔가 정답을 찾으려는 생각에서 벗어나서, 대략 느낌으로 받아들이는 연습을 좀 더 많이 해야겠다.
