You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
雨が強まってきたため、片道30分の二郎系は諦め、徒歩5分で行ける近所のビリヤニ店でサッと夕食を済ませることにした。
Due to the heavy rain, I decided to skip the 30-minute trek to my usual ramen spot and settled for a quick biryani at a local eatery just five minutes away.
本当は大盛りにしたかったけれど、そこをグッと堪えて普通盛りにしたのが、図らずも夜のルーティンを狂わせる原因となった。
I deliberately resisted the urge to order a large portion, but ironically, this restraint ended up backfiring and disrupted my entire evening routine.
帰宅後の物足りなさから冷蔵庫の冷やし中華に手を出してしまい、YouTubeを流しながら食べていたら、気づけば21時を過ぎていた。
Returning home unsatisfied, I raided the fridge for cold noodles, and while mindlessly browsing YouTube as I ate, I realized with a shock that it was already past 21:00.
せっかく家族がいなくて早く寝られる貴重なチャンスだったのに、誘惑に負けて時間を浪費してしまった自分が情けない。
It is frustrating to have squandered a rare opportunity for an early night while the family was away, simply by succumbing to a chain of minor temptations.
空腹をその場で完結させる決断力の大切さを痛感したし、次の一人時間は「欲望の管理」を徹底して、理想の夜を勝ち取りたいと思う。
I’ve learned that satisfying a craving decisively at the source is often better than half-measures, and I’m determined to exercise better self-discipline during my next solo evening.
To be continued.
