Short Work Day With Long Way

I´m so naive at times it´s a pain.
On my way to work I thought the guy with his white dog takes another route for a change, like in for seeing something different, but, no, as you can see the park was flooded, the bridge nearly gone.

I had to rush via detour.

Bro called me if I have a day off and can come over to help clean up the mess - their house got more of the dirty water.
But not to worry if I can´t, sorry, no, I´m working and I have an app I waited 6 weeks for.
I felt a bit bad about it, but on the other hand... since January they cannot make room for me visiting for 1-2 hours on one Sunday arvo but now I am to jump?
I would have, though, if it hadn´t been for the app...

09:30 I realised, ahhh, in 10 minutes I have to be at the eye specialist (routine) - more rushing.

I thought (speaking of being naive) these days when they force your pupils open the effect will be over after say 15-30 minutes. Noooo.
3-6 HOURS.

Teamleader S sent me home... I was just no use at the PC ("haha, you look like that comic-cat!").

I (admit I had a burger at Maccas and) came homewards around lunchtime, assuming the water will be gone.
Ha. No....

Even worse.

We went through having such brown water in the apartment twice, in Rhüden (the second time Bro and SIL helped on the first day, too).
Ewww, I´ll never forget that foul smell that brown water brings in....
The second one I even wished for as Ingo´d said back then: "If the water comes in once more I´ll move to Braunschweig!".
It even went into the bathtub!
And hence since 2007 we live together after some stupid 13 years of weekend relationship.

Well, summer, it seems, is taking a longer break, how sad is that.

Shoot. Bro called, desperate.
I´m off to his place now.
To take care of the kids.
Me.
The worst solution... The Wee One didn´t even know anymore who "Auntie Iris" is...
Wish me luck...
