Man, what a day! Zhaksy, you wild place! I woke up, sun blaring through my window on Kazybek bi Street. Thought it was gonna be chill, ya know? Just me and my clay. But nah, life had other plans.
First off, I spilled coffee all over my favorite apron. Like, seriously? I mean, who even does that? I was already running late to my workshop on Abay Street. Rushed out, tripped over my own feet. Classic me, right?
So, I get to the workshop, and guess what? My kiln’s acting up. It’s like it has a mind of its own. I swear, it’s possessed. I’m there, sweating bullets, trying to fix it. Meanwhile, my buddy Askar is just chillin’, laughing at my struggle. “You sure you’re a potter, bro?” he says. Ugh, so annoying!
Then, outta nowhere, this kid runs in. He’s like, “Mister, can you make me a dragon?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m not a wizard!” But his eyes, man, they were all sparkly and hopeful. So, I’m like, “Alright, let’s do this!” We start molding clay, and I forget all my worries. Zhaksy’s magic, I tell ya.
After that, I needed a break. Hit up the local bazaar on Kazybek bi. Man, the smells! Fresh bread, spices, and that sweet, sweet plov. I grabbed a plate, sat down, and just inhaled it. Best plov ever! I could’ve eaten a mountain of it.
But then, I see this old lady selling pottery. Her stuff? Gorgeous! I’m like, “How do you do this?” She just smiles and says, “Practice, dear.” Practice? I’m over here struggling with a simple mug!
So, I head back to the workshop, feeling inspired. I’m ready to tackle that kiln again. But guess what? It’s still being a diva. I’m about to lose it. I’m yelling at it like it’s a person. “Why won’t you cooperate?!” Askar’s just shaking his head, laughing.
Finally, I get it to work. I’m like, “Yes! Victory!” But then, the power goes out. Seriously? In Zhaksy? I’m standing there in the dark, cursing my luck. But then, I hear laughter outside. Kids playing, people chatting. It’s like Zhaksy’s alive, even in the dark.
I step outside, and the stars are shining. It’s beautiful. I forget about the kiln, the coffee, everything. Just me, the night, and the vibe of Zhaksy. I see the lights from the buildings on Abay Street twinkling. It’s like the city’s winking at me.
I head home, exhausted but happy. Zhaksy, you crazy city, you’ve got my heart. Tomorrow’s another day, and I’ll tackle that kiln again. But for now, I’m just gonna crash.
What a ride, huh?
