This drink, with which I join Elizabeth, it asks you to indulge, to treat others.
I treated myself...
The journal:
Ingo feeds me with cold fruit to cool down.
Monday: FIL on Ingo´s nearly empty phone, I got the NEW number for "landline".
BIL. Same as their Mom, FIL´s Mom, INGO.... pancreas. Inflamed.
BIL´s new wife, nearly my age, highly pregnant.
FIL invited us to celebrate Ingo´s Birthday. In Emden. Let´s see. All too much.
Pancreas inflamed and a baby on the way?
I.Want.A.Boring.Life.
And really. Come to Braunschweig to celebrate!!!
Why are we supposed.... Braunschweig is a very beautiful city!
Tuesday: fK.... "my 'wife' is OK with you now, but our kids are not 😂 "Iris" here, "Iris" there, all the time."
I had no idea!
Ingo: ... same with her. "fK, fK, fK"....
Same in your life?
Wednesday: O. M G.
Phone. 08:50. am - Think it´s fK. Pick up as usual with "Hi!".
Meep, ESE. Got a laugh. Will now always answer with my surname!!! Boy, glad fM laughed! (we never met) - OK, I reveal cause it´s such a beautiful name: Margarete!
Then fK - then fE!!!! They all call me "meine Liebe" and I think they mean it.
Asked in April and due to "issues over there" get two responses only now.
From two different companies - and lovely people I worked with at both - see my dilemma...
Thursday: Tired.
I do the sketches for this journal on the weekend and saw a note for this day ... Nieces Birthday.
SHOOT!!!! WhatsApped her hence on Sunday, her answer: "It´s OK, even if late, thank you!"
She´s like me.
Scary. Genes, huh. Her Dad/Bro´d make a big fuss again!
She´s 15 now. An adult.
Hey, wait. I just held her in my arms, 5 days old, she slept and I adored her little fingers!!!
Friday: Tired.
Weekend: Saturday: They sit right here, called "LaFamme" a pill I am to take soon. No. Guess I won´t. fK had another... no. Thank you but likely no. Women over time went without - I can do that, too! Right?
On TV: Pizza!!! A docu.
Sunday: Not kidding: TV: docu on Pizza. Different channel and docu, but... Pizza!!!! (Tried to order pizza on Thursday - they wanted ALL my data before showing the menu. No.).
Dreamed of Da Nico at night and a Ten Without Ham. (See "Change Of Blog-Title? An Era Ends" - my dear Bro is in there, too...).
Nico retired 2024 and went back to Italy.
He always smiled big when my Brother, my Mom (!!!!!!), Ingo or me myself ordered one.
There was no "Ten (without ham)" anymore and the answer always was:
"Can get cold, goes to Braunschweig, right?"
Can you imagine my face when my Mom!!!!! came to my home in Braunschweig with that?
I think I smiled BIG all day!
Btw. fK said my sense of smell might change when I get off the pill and I might not like to smell Ingo anymore!!!!
Vanilla. Ingo smells of Vanilla. I like vanilla. Löwenzahn: On smelling. Life is creepy. Henry 🦁´s Wife
I feel shit#y but pampered!
I am not alone in menopause and especially studies and job-sorrows!
When Ingo was so severly sick bloggy friends were there and helped - real hugs and I´d broken down, not able to help Ingo, hugs from far away help(ed).

Dear friend Iris, your sketches always make me smile. I love ❤️ pizza 🍕 especially vegetarian. Henry's wife loves hugs 🫂 🤗 like us.
I'm with Linda's comment about how your journal makes me smile. I'm ready for a bit of boring too, but I don't see it happening right through September. Sleep is good. I'm in a sleep mode lately, maybe because the nights are cool and it is so nice sleeping in the cool. I hope you have a happy T day, and get to relax and be boring a bit too. :) hugs-Erika
...Iris, I hope that your crazy weeks settle down. Hold in there light will appear at the end of the tunnel.
Best Hug Ever
Cheers
Hopefully this will be a better week, Iris.
Deine Zeichnungen bringen einen wirklich zum lachen. Aber ehrlich - 15 Jahre alt und erwachsen? No way! Wechseljahre ist ein eigenes Thema - das ist für jede Frau unterschiedlich. Ich habe nach neun Jahren immer noch Hitzewallungen, es war bei mir aber nie wirklich sehr schlimm. Fühlte sich an als ob ich im Backofen sitze, nicht toll. Genommen habe ich nie was, so schlimm war's zum Glück nicht.
I'm so busy, I could do with a bit of boring too.That's not going to happen until at least the end of October.
Hoew is Ingo now? Still poorly pancreas or is it permanent?
I love your diary sketches too. You started very hesitantly I remember but now they rae fantastic! (and they make me smile)
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I love your journal images, they always make me smile and fingers crossed for your interviews. No time to be bored here, life is so busy 😊. Roar to Henry, I'd love a hug ❤️. Take care and Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
I send a hug and smile. :) As George Harrison said "All things must pass"...and they will.
I hope that your crazy weeks settle down soon.
Take care.
All the best Jan
Your pages are so fun. Love the Henry photo. Happy T Day.
I got my atlas and looked for Emden, It's so far away! 5 days old to 15 years is the blink of an eye. If it is Ingo's birthday, they should come to him to celebrate, but you don't have room? "Women over time went without" because there wasn't anything available. Now there is and if it helps then why not? Also Happy Birthday Ingo. 🎂🎉
Dear friend Linda, I have but Döner, still no Pizza!!! 🍕🥙... To hugs!!! I learned this! 🧡
Thank you, Erika, the journal keeps me sane... the days speed by so fast.
I sleep so much it is horrible! And I "burn". So... hot hugs from here 😉
Say December? Tom it is crazy...
To a strong man!
Cheers!
Thank you RedPat. I am waiting for "the" decision"...
Danke :-) Ja. Total erwachsen. Ich musste mit 14 entscheiden, ob ich das Geschäft meiner Eltern übernehmen will (nein). Ach, wenigstens sind das nicht "Kälteanfälle" - das wär viel schlimmer ;-) Ich will nichts mehr nehmen ... es war zu lange ohnehin....
End of October, ugh.
Ingo..... permanent since 2008.
Thank you, oh I should do better with the sketches. But my life is so crazy now...
Thank you, funny how that happened with the journal! To hugs x!
Thank you, dear Bill!
I hope so, too. I am tired...
Thank you, also from Henry!
Yes, Emden is not around the corner. And I am afraid of (co-)driving.
And I do not see it. They want to see Ingo.
Come to Braunschweig!!! There are hotels. (Our condo is small).
I don´t wanna bother my body anymore with hormones.
I ... "QUEEN" I want to break free!
Birthday next month.... 60 then. Weeee.
Oh boy, what a week you had. Sending long distance hugs!
Yes, you should be able to get through menopause without pills. Women did for years, that was my thinking too. Good luck!
