Very sweet - Ingo seeing this lille sketch said my red crayon is like really very short now, we need to buy a new one 🥰
I am so dumb it hurts but brings back what I lost!
Friday my to-be-teamleader agreed I take "hours" off and my teamleader agreed, too.
Yadda. 30 minutes, cause I had so much to do!
7 1/2 hours.
What does Miss Dumbness do?
Dishes, laundry, cleaning.
Versa sitting and reading HUMMEL DUMM (such a fun book!).
I never learn.
Anyhows!
Clearly before Christmas I got medicine for Ingo at "our" pharmacy and since they know me I was asked if we have a bathtub. (Nope)
"This is also good for a HOT foot-bath in cold winter!", she said and gave the sachet together with light to me 😋
Now. We are down to 2C/35F and..... do I wait till Christmas or to I treat my tired self NOW?
It.Is Snowing!!!
Ack, I say... Merry (RED) Christmas to you!
If I fall asleep and off my Spock-chair you hear from me from the hospital (kidding!!!).
Ingo did all the grocery shopping (thank you BIG) but this HAS TO STOP.
I hope to take two weeks off soon and come back to normal.
Germans!
We work on a trust-basis at ALSTOM instead of shifting hours "on paper".
I will either take a real holiday or pop in 06:00 am, see if I am needed, next time before lunch and other, as Homer from The Simpsons says ... "visit me in the evening!" (hope I got that right - here it was translated to "Sie können mich mal am Aaaaabend besuchen!")
For none-The Simpsons-fans fans: "Kiss my As#".
Two more hectic work-days (maybe) and then.... then... a time-out!
Last holiday was November 2021. And I feel it.

It´s snowing, so maybe Santa really came back - you´ve been good, eh?

Here today we are seeing snow.
...outside my window is a winter wonderland that will start melting today.
I had to laugh about how short your reed pencil is.That would make a great drawing in your journal for certain. And here in New England, where new Hampshire and 5 other states are, we are the same way with our cultural work ethic. If you work 10 hours, put in 8. Thanks to the PIlgrims and other Puritans who settled this area. Sorry for your snow, but fun to see Santa. It's like Christmas is back again already. Thank you again Iris for joining in. It is MUCH appreciated. I hope your weather improves and then send some good weather my way too. There's too much snow in the forecast here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
I disagree with Erika since I live in the home of the Puritans. 😺 If you work 10 hrs. you put in for the 10 hrs. you worked. If they won't pay for the 10, then they should give you 2 hrs. of comp time (time off) We got snow too, and more coming the beginning of the week. 😿
William, reckon it´s your weather, no?

Erika, red, white, black and grey just ... are used too much!!!
Less stress, better weather > city > new pencils :-)
Yes. I got told off big. But ... see next answer...
Thank YOU for the great theme :-)
4C now, I will share if it gets warmer! Hugs!

CJ, I was honest. Wrote down the hours I worked and BOOM!!!!
At VQ and CGS I had unlimited hours - here I do not and I caused REAL trouble with this (not my fault as I wasn´t informed.
We go the trust-way now. And I hope I did the right thing because.. you are right, also!
But we are adults. "Clever" adults, who should trust each other.
Eeeek to snow - it warmed up here!
I know what you mean, it's like on my days off I do housework meaning it's not really my days off.
On your day off, you need to take it easy and relax, you don't want to get burnt out.
Amy yes. Reading a book, shall we?!

Bil, dumbness hits me...
Our snow is melting today but more to come tomorrow. This is after we have had a warmish winter and flowers were out! Crazy.
Which is your favourite brand of pencils and crayons to use?
I am long since retired and still I don't do all the cleaning I should. I do dishes and laundry, but skip the floors and dusting most of the time.
Treat your tired self to a lovely foot soak, don't wait for Christmas.
I know snow is. We got a little bit this morning.
Coffee is on and stay safe
RedPat, -4C right now, brrrrr. Not "cool" - we have March soon!

River, oh, hard to say... LAMY is a good brand, but for other papers Faber Castell. The cheapies go good for the thin journal-papers...
I´m still a newbie in this...
Hahaha. So not a chance I do the floor more often when I retire! My T does it every weekend!
One ex-colleague even said he takes off the toilet seat for cleaning once a month. Weee, I have better things to do or other... I don´t NEED that to do!
And what did I do??? The water was not hot enough. Luckily I only took half of the Christmas-bath and have one more chance :-)

DOra, I cannot (well must) wait for Spring!
I'm glad they told you to take some time. It shows they care and appreciate you -- and it sure sounds like you sorely need it! Put red crayon on your shopping list! Just relax!
