How I spent my day

At language lessons in elementary school the teacher often gave a task to write an essay about how I spent a summer or a week. These tasks seemed absolutely idiotic. However, when I started writing texts on LangCorrect, I noticed that writing essays about old memories is a much simpler task than describing current affairs. So, I'll try to do it again - this time in English :)

I went to my doctor early in the morning. I had to do it two weeks ago, but I got sick and then the doctor went on vacation. It was a routine check-up after eye surgery and I was very worried about the delay. Fortunately, everything is fine. The next surgery is scheduled for September and now I'm counting the days until my vision becomes clear again.

After that I picked up car parts from the store and tried to work. The attempt was unsuccessful. I live in the south of the country near the area of military operations. Usually this doesn't cause any problems, but authorities shut down the Internet during drone attacks. Today was a such day, so I just went to bed because I didn't get enough sleep this morning.

The best part of the day began late in the evening. My wife wanted to see a meteor shower and we went to the mountains. She really loves looking at the night sky and usually it takes at least an hour. However, the moon was too bright today and we went for a ride after we saw just a few meteors. The windows in the car were open, we drove along the night serpentines, talked about everything and enjoyed the cool August wind in our hair.

How I spent my day

(1) For lessons, we will use "during".
(2) I added a comma to help pace the sentence.

I went to
see my doctor early in the morning.

Alternatively: "I went to the doctor's early in the morning."

I hawas supposed to do it two weeks ago, but I got sick and then the doctor went on vacation.

It was a routine check-up after eye surgery and I was very worried about the delay.

Fortunately, everything iwas fine.

Mind the tense.

"The authorities" might be more appropriate here, since you're specifically referring to the Russian authorities.

Today was a such a day, so I just went to bed because I didn't get enough sleep this morning.

"A such day" is not the natural expression.

The best part of the day began late in the evening.

My wife wanted to see a meteor shower and we went to the mountains.

She really loves looking at the night sky and usually it takes at least an hour.

However, the moon was too bright today and, so we went for a ride after we saw just a few meteors.

I'd suggest using "so" here to more clearly establish the cause and effect relationship between the moon being too bright and you going on a ride.

TWith the windows inof the car were open, we drove along the night serpentine night-time roads, talkeding about everything and enjoyeding the cool August wind in our hair.

(1) I tweaked the sentence a little so that it sounds more fluent.
(2) Alternatively: "With the car windows open".
(3) I don't think we use "serpetine" to mean "road". However, you can use it as an adjective.

Feedback

This was well-written; your past experience with the language shows! I am happy to hear that your eye was fine.
