T STands For NoThing (No Holiday)

Who can resist this to join Elizabeth´s T??? Who hosts, despite being sick - best wishes from here....
 
The journal:
 
 
 Monday: Not a chance to join studies.
Not willing anymore, either. €12 800 for this? Agency is paying.
 



 

 Tuesday: No. Just no. 
Half of the students have problems, too.
And how "important" and "knowing" those others are. No? I did this for real.
I had real projects.

Door-bell, Postie: "I need a 'readable 'K' - despite it is for 'S'."
Ingo forgot to take my surname when  we  got married so....  but postie knows.
I think next time I offer postie a snack. He looked tired and still tried to be funny (I think no one can sign "readable" on these devices).


Wednesday: "ST4-seminar-chat: 'I am sick, headache and all, the flu..." (it is "summer") - next person: ..you get the picture. Left are but two. BOY, I TAKE ANOTHER DAY OFF!!!
Really, I was interested in ST4! Like Photoshop, can do anything.
No one cares.
Why should I (I do).



Thursday:  Off.  
And I did it again.
Bad.
Graff. Most dangerous book-store.
LAST edition of SEESEN, my old home town. An "adventure"-thingy.
For my Bro.
Ingo: "Open?"
"No, for Bro."
"Open!!!"
 
OK, it´s ours now (Ingo moved away aged 6, me at 17). 
We´ll explore our old home town some day, maybe with Bro and family.

HA!!! Seen the man on the cover? Find him in SA... renamed...
 
 
 
Friday:  Off again. Ingo assured me I do the right thing.
And got me beautiful flowers in a Gherkin-glass (cause I left you the "love-note" in your lunch box?) 
I was about to throw away - the glass!!! > new vase.
The man is genius.
 
 
Weekend: Saturday: Ingo fell!!!! I got up! Ran!
Ingo: "Thought you fell!" (I ran...)
Behind the closed loo-door the timer fell.
I hear that behind the closed bedroom-door (wanted to sleep in on this "summer"-day).
That is when your partner is chronically ill- you hear EVERYTHING in panic. 
Since 2008.
 
And now... studies and all down... GO AWAY. 
Ingo got corn and everything for a BBQ..  It is my fault...
 
Sunday: Go away. 
Where to?
It must be my fault. And I am stuck. I am sorry, Ingo. Walk in my shoes for once (haha, I walk barefoot to enjoy our wooden floor).
 
Oh, the title: No studies, but I was totally stressed about it and the weather was shit#y, so... not a holiday at all...

Munchy:


 Henry 🦁... did not gotten beamed up by Scotty, Erika, or. did he?
 
 
P.S. I have a new series from the internet for you!

"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone

 
Forgotten sites of German history
 
Germany's history could hardly be more complex, encompassing periods of industrial prestige and groundbreaking creativity, as well as periods of great darkness. Many buildings still bear witness to significant events today. This is also the case with the following 30 places where time seems to stand still. Some have fallen into disrepair, others have been converted, and for still others, any rescue may come too late.

Find out here which of these forgotten sites are open to visitors – and which should not be entered for your own safety."
 
Let us start tomorrow!

And please wish me luck I get the final YES to my training at ESE!

And... have a happy T-Day!

I'm sorry all the studies have been such a shambles, but you learned a few things at least. I've forgotten now what else I was going to say, I have a visitor right now.

I wanted to sleep in later than 4 AM today but Miss Maddie had another plan in mind. Yawn. and your coffee protein drink sounds good. I drink a coffee protein drink each day. Gives me energy. Great journal this week. I hope Ingo doesn't scare you any more. hugs-Erika

The good and the bad -- but boy, those flowers are the best! Dinner sounds good too. Great sketches and a darling Henry.

Bill said...

Great drawings and I love the Calion. :)

Carola Bartz said...

Deine Vase gefällt mir. Wir stecken unsere Blumen (aus dem Garten) in Weinflaschen. Einer unserer (deutschen) Freunde sägt den Hals ab und fertig. Oh, und Mettbrötchen! Hatte ich zum letzten Mal im November in Hamburg - so gut!

Sharon Madson said...

I hope you get a final yes for your studies. Happy T Day.

DVArtist said...

OMGosh you are so funny even in the hard times. Thank goodness it was the timer and not Ingo that fell. Breath and do something fun for yourself.

Iris Flavia said...

05 am I got up. But actually I was awake all night... times only can get better... hope you could sleep longer today! Hugs

Iris Flavia said...

That´s life, RedPat?

Iris Flavia said...

My cuppa makes me bee happy, Tom :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Of course!

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, now I crave tomato-soup!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

I want a boring week...

Iris Flavia said...

It´s the little things! 🥰

Iris Flavia said...

Dear Linda, Henry will be back 🧡 and oh, Abba... in the car with my Mom - good times! Hopefully today good news!

Iris Flavia said...

I try to focus on the good! The flowers bloom!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Calion - oh, great creation, Bill, LOVE it.

Iris Flavia said...

Ja, und Ingo will eine "echte" kleinere Vase kaufen. Nö! Ja, das Brötchen war echt lecker! Gibt´s das "überm Teich" nicht? Australien hat jetzt "ordentliche" Brötchen.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, hopefully today!!!

Iris Flavia said...

I think I learned that also from you!!

CJ Kennedy said...

I hope you're feeling better. We have a rule at my house. If someone drops a heavy object, you have to yell, Not ME! to let others in the house know you didn't fall and are not hurt. I like the kitty showing his inner Henry. 🍀🐷🍄🎩 and Happy T Day

Lisca said...

What a shambles! (that course)
But the flowers are beautiful!
I love your diary cartoons. They are getting better every week.
The Mettbrötchen looks delicious. You are making me hungry.
I love the kitten dreaming big!
