Easy Wrap Up

 
 
After over a year this is my first holiday. And I´m trying to do the taxes (in Germany, when you own something, a more than icky-complicated thing).
As if this wasn´t enough -7C/19F, heating off. Wish me luck I get it running with Ingo´s help through the phone. 
Update: Haha, didn´t.

My plan was: Monday and Tuesday: taxes, Wednesday good clean up, then cooking, baking, reading, fun.

Reality - thank you for your well-wishes but: I feel still shitty. And sooo tired and cannot concentrate.
Bought fast food. And wrapped it up with cheese, in the pan, glass-lid on top, easy quick and as yummy as you can taste when you´re off health-wise.

(I taste near to nothing).

 
Hey, into my eye, really?!
Dreamed the Spanish colleague  sent me a signed Excel-file. Don´t you do that!!! We need it in the system and I am not allowed to load it up there. 
Woah. Over and over again. (He indeed did this).
 
Are you wrapped up or better tucked in? I join Rain with "Gift Wrap"  today, look what... or rather whom (!) I found in summer in the street:
 

Funny side note. The word "Gift" in German means "poison".
This cutie-pie sure is no poison at all. She is of porcelain.

You found me above with cheese in my eye...

I suppose the bright side of being under the weather on your holiday is you won't have to use any sick time or personal day off. Feel better soon.

Gift means poison eh. I guess that English word didn't come from the Germanic, unless a gift is a scary thing. Smile. And I love the little kitty all wrapped up. Nice drawing. Hope you feel better very soon. It stinks being sick on your holiday. hugs-Erika

Sick on your holiday, that's really a big bummer. :(

My German teacher used to relate an anecdote about the required American label on a postal package that was supposed to say “Unsolicited Gift” and how that worked with the German post office.

I hope your cold is better. We both came back from Europe last week with colds, so I know how you feel.

I think in many places doing taxes is not fun and comes with icky bits as well. Oh no, sorry to read that you still feel shitty. Ugh. No fun. No fun.

Sometimes fast food is the perfect thing. I hope you're feeling better soon!

The wee street find drawing is wonderful, Iris.
I hope that you get the heat on so that you can be warm and get feeling better.

...Iris, I hope that your will be in the pink soon.

Sorry you are still feeling icky and NO Heat?! Ohhh, it is way too cold not to have heat. I am sure Ingo got it working. Interesting fast food. We never eat fast food. Maybe it is just our fast food in the US. LOL Rest and feel better.

Sorry to hear you can't taste much, have you done a covid test? Losing taste is a covid symptom, although other things can affect taste too. Even a cold.
I remember when you found that sweet kitty.
Roll up in some blankets and get enough rest.

I hope you are feeling better now. When down with cold, the best thing is wrap yourself up and stay in bed. I never like to do taxes.

-7 ouch yep you've definitely got to try and keep warm with those temps.

Man, doing taxes isn't what you want to be doing when you are sick. So sorry! Hope you start feeling better soon. Love your little kitty in the blanket ... perfect wrapping :) Bundle up and drink a lot of fluids ... and, make sure you are not down with Covid :((i.e. do a test). Treatments for Covid are different than for the common cold.
