... not my ticket to Elizabeth´s T - I´m not cheating (but isn´t this too cute?). Here goes:
The journal:
Monday: Quiet. Forced Day Off. Weather: Icky.
I certainly overdid it.
Dunno. You take the "supertool" and clean and... it´s not clean, so you end up on your knees to do a proper job. Gah.
Next day... dirt. Where the heck does this come from??? We do not even have kids nor pets!
I blame it on Ingo (kidding).
Tuesday: Muscles ache... ahhhh!!!!! Do you know a proper tool to clean wooden floors?
Had my last Quesadilla. Big buhuuu... I ate so slow to enjoy it all went cold.
Yes. I could do this myself.
But the guys who did this for me...! The smiles I got. All gone.
Must check if they do burgers now. Last time the shop was closed.
Wednesday: Meep. Fun with Admin T.
Then.... I am too honest. Ingo warned me... be careful working with women.
Was. Let´s see.
There are women and there are women. I have two wonderful ladies. And then this one. Who is my "mini-boss". Alas. Maybe I handled it good.
Thursday: Oh-oh. Boss requested my profile at LinkedIn. Good or bad? Meep?
Lady-boss wrote "liebe Grüße"... "love". Hm. All good? She also said "Shit!!!" on teams. All good! Yes? We never met in person...
Friday: 1 1/2 hours. We called it "social bonding" and that was that. A teams-call at work. At times also work-related! I think she is my friend!
We met 4 times for real by now and ... it is so easy for me to make friends with men. Certainly her "love" is a woman, so she counts as man, no surprise, big LOL.
I do have female friends with male partners. In Australia. Maybe German women are odd?
5 teamleaders - and Ingo!!! - said to me "you are no woman". As a compliment, so yes, German real women must be odd.
Does it even matter other than women-women are still rare here?
3 hours talk with Bro. I spent a lot of time on the phone!!! Count in 20 minutes with little Niece, too!
BEAMING! Someone please invent that! We could´ve shared a Döner!!! Hmmm, hungry now. (Seesen has real good Döner - even Pizza-Döner! With LOADS of cheese - cheese is LIFE!).
Weekend: Saturday: Adventure time!!! BIG!!!! LOUD Post planned for Thursday.
Munch-wise:
P.S. Chris mentioned I fit so much into my week.
Well...
Before I drove 30+ minutes to and 45++++ minutes back home from work.
Well...
Before I drove 30+ minutes to and 45++++ minutes back home from work.
I once searched for a place to park the car for 45 minutes after the long drive and had to walk 10 minutes home. And I needed to pee badly...
Now I walk 7 steps to my workplace!
And, frankly, let´s admit that. When I set up a tea.... I pick laundry and throw it into the machine. Next cuppa I hang the laundry.
Come on!!! Others in the actual office chat with colleagues!
OK, we do that on top via MS teams sometimes :-)
Art-wise... did I mention fall?
I started filling it for the Nieces. As another that comes in soon.
To walks in the rain!!!!

I think you had a good week!
Mostly, yes :-)
I like the booty bank. I could not handle so much social time, I like being alone. Lucky I am retired.
I like to be by myself, also - but sometimes it´s fun :-)
I had baked beans the other day but New England style with salted pork. YUM! I hadn't had any for so long and they were delicious. :) That is one cute kitty cups- is it cocoa or chocolate? And yes, you clean, and the dirt comes right back. Especially for me, the dog hair. I could vacuum 3 times a day-no way! Have a great T day Iris. Or I should say I hope it's going well. hugs-Erika
Quite a week.
...cleaning can be an endless job.
Hands and knees to clean floor, then, when completely dry, polish with a floor polish. You may need two times with the polish, but after that, just dust the floor EVERY day and it will stay clean. I had all hardwood floors in the house where I used to live, so I know.
Your boot bank is charming and I adore the kitties sharing tea.
Your raspberry soda sounds good. Sadly, I seldom buy soda. Thanks for sharing your calendar and your soda with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
I forgot to mention, you said I dislike FB. I didn't say that. Not ever. I have not now, nor will I EVER be on FB.
I am a low tech person. When I had my computer built, I insisted NO windows. I run Linux and use Firefox exclusively. I don't want a bunch of garbage on my computer (like Opera or MS Edge as you suggested), so if I can't leave a comment, I wait until blogger lets me.
Another busy week. Swiffer the floor dry and Swiffer makes a wet cloth that fits their handle to "wash" wood floor. No need to get down on your hands and knees.
Your sketches are fun!
Erika, with pork sounds yummy, too. To be honest I had water! ;-) And we chattet via teams, but Friday we´ll meet for real again.
You have an excuse with the dog hair ;-)
This week is kinda tough, but working day is done now. To a great one, hugs

William, yes...
____
Tom sadly yes. Frustrating!

Elizabeth, cleaning every day?! No way! Also rather no polish as our wood works well (our bathroom has no windows, so the wood takes the water...
But thank you for the tips!
Ingo bought the soda :-)
Ah, OK - well I like FB!
Blogger is a bit crazy...
____
CJ, it is a swiffer, but somehow the wood likes to eat the dust real deep. So once in a while I want it extra-clean...

magiceye, thank you!
Cleaning is overrated ;) though I do need to vacuum...
Seeing the comments and noticing the ones related to Facebook: I spend way too much time of FB lol It's my favorite social media platform because of the interactions. On blogs people sometimes leave comments but only very rarely come back to discuss. On FB there are actual discussions, which I love.
Happy T Tuesday!
Overrated :-)
Yes, only thanks to FB Ingo was able to be (the only European) volunteer when The Giants were in Perth!
And easier to chat with friends from there, too.
And don´t forget all the cats there!
What a fun and busy week. I'm with you on the cleaning, though. I really enjoy your drawings -- such a fun way to chronicle it all!
Beautiful post
Cleaning stinks. :) Great journal drawing again.
Jeanie, why not join me - with the journaling, not cleaning ;-)

Rajani Rehana, thank you, was a good week!

Bill, yes and thank you :-)
I don't mind cleaning. I am a bit of a clean freek. However, dusting drives me crazy. I love that first photo. I'm soaking pinto beans and will make Mexican refried beans. I will put the recipe on my blog when I get them done. Have a great day today.
I love the little boot art, Iris.
You had a busy week.
I don't do FB at all. I think I am becoming a bit of hermit.
Nicole, please invent beaming and come over to clean ;-)
Looking forward to your Mexican beans!!!

RedPat, thank you, the boot was fund to sketch-
Oh, you should try FB - it´s fun! Esp for hermits (I´m one also).
Putzen ist wohl die Beschäftigung, die ich am wenigsten mag - und schon gar nicht auf Händen und Knien. Wir haben "Sucks" (eine Art Roomba) für die Holzböden im Haus und zusätzlich Swiffer für Küche und Bad. Was damit nicht sauber wird - Pech. Ein bisschen Dreck hat noch niemandem geschadet.
Ich habe einige gute Freundinnen in Deutschland, mit denen ich noch immer in Kontakt bin. Wenn mir einer sagt ich sei keine Frau sehe ich das überhaupt nicht als Kompliment. Ganz im Gegenteil.
Deine Gummistiefel sehen schön aus. Werden sie für Nikolaus gefüllt?
Busy times! Love the journal.
Carola, meistens sehe ich das mit dem Putzen genauso. Aber ab und an muss es "besser".
Näh, zu Nikolaus o.ä. gibt es nichts. Wenn ich mal zu Besuch komme, ne Kleinigkeit. Mein Bruder sagt, die haben eh schon viel zu viel und auf Frage kam auch "wunschlos glücklich".
Naja, hier sind halt viele Frauen zickig und "verlogen" und die Themen sind Schminke und Klamotten. So bin ich halt nicht. Ich gebe Wissen weiter und bin fair.

Sue, thank you :-)
oh the cat with the fishes is so cute! I hate cleaning too! Someone should invent a house that cleans itself! Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
