With this sizzling drink I join Elizabeth´s T. Was yum!
Though these days hot tea is the better choice - summer is ... I don´t know where - not in Germany.
The journal.
Monday: Admin mT called me and man, he is a magician, a wizard! I´ll get the "darn" job done!
I didn´t even ask - he called me!
Other... grey and cold. Is summer on the way somehow, somewhere?
Tuesday: Work a bit frustrating, then off to the city. Heck, this is not even Spring - it was way too cold!
Got yellow sneakers for a low price, Ingo likes them.
Wednesday: Admin mT had had time on his hands and tested the program he gave me further more - handy, huh? It is still complicated and takes way too long.
Amazon drives me nuts!
"Your parcel will arrive on Thursday". - OK.
Imagine I worked at the company and you read early Wednesday morning: "Your parcel arrives today".
Let.People.Plan.Ahead!!!!!
Ingo said in former GDR / East Germany your mail - be it letter, parcel, whatever ended up at a central place nearby for you to be picked up after work.
These days you are not home... they throw it in the hall for anyone to take!
I know: Go to the store. Buy local!!!! But how??? Stores closed down or don´t have what you want.
Evening Head Full of Honey - I always have to laugh and cry... It´s about Alzheimer´s...
And a Principessa... My Granma, who raised us had this illness. In the end she thought I am my Brother´s wife. It hurt.
Thursday: Customer, from Oslo. In German "ich weiß das Wort nicht". Me, "speak English then". He is German. And only 26 years old. Studied in Germany. We speak English.
What works, works! But it´s... crazy?
It´s getting a bit weird, no?
All the time pressure was not necessary, it turned out. The trains are on the way to Oslo tomorrow. Maintenance´d be done here in Germany, the documents are needed - but not RIGHT NOW.
For crying out loud. "Lessons learned". I´ll start all over as they PRINT it out and... too long.
At least every one is... "easy-going"..... now.
I put out my winter socks. It.is.cold.
Friday: Got work done. Did training done, went to the city and had yummy, home-made food from my study-days (pre 1999) later, many a kiss from Ingo - what a better way to end a work-week! A way too cold, dark week weather-wise.
No summer in sight.
Oh, BUT!!!! Two parcels! More DVDs! And a book on my kindle - need to retire! (kidding).
Weekend: Saturday: Was I unconscious for a long time? Has Autumn arrived??? Cold, grey, WINDY. No fun to go outside, knowing it should be warm/hot, sunny.
No energy for anything....
Sleepy Hollow, oh, heck, I nearly fell off my chair, no way I go on the walking pad? Scary (fun) stuff! Thoughtful, too. Intelligent.
Also... always have enough salt in the house - works against ALL demons 🤣
Real life. No matter what I do I do it wrong, weekend after weekend after weekend.
It is always my fault.
I hope to find a solution cause deep inside I love the man I married.
Sunday: I failed, what else to say. Even TV left me. He let me watch Die Maus in the kitchen.
I am sad. Great to prepare for another stressful week.
But munchy-wise I found a yummy solution!
I gave away the bulky sandwich-maker but remembered the tiny gourmet-guy - works PERFECT!
Throw in the buttered, un-toasted toast with the butter outside, cheese and ham and cheese and bread, close, wait, done, chewy inside, cross outside. Take River´s advice and use a kitchen towel!
YUM.
Why ever that thing is called "maxx"... it is happily tiny!
All that fits in is one slice... which is enough for me 😁

I always enjoy your journal pages-have a good week
Thank you, Kathy, I´ll freeze my way through 😘
I'm glad your work people are so understanding and helpful.
I found my Sleepy Hollow on my 4TB hard drive and transferred it to usb to watch, I have a "hub" plugged into the TV and it holds four usb's at a time, so I can choose which to watch. Three have different TV series and the fourth has movies.
What book did you put on your kindle?
That little toaster looks like you can toast long buns or round buns (bread rolls) as well as bread.
Hahahaha, no surprise you have Sleepy Hollow, too :-)
Wow. Now I feel like really old!
My TV is on my PC. I do something wrong, do I? But the TV is behind my two big work-screens... "meeep"... And it´s Ingo´s from... 2005? Did I mention the word "old"?....
Kindle.. oh, it does not get better... "Anxious People" by Frederik Backman...
Yes, that gourmet-guy could also make pizza and such but I prefer the good ole pan for that.
Thanks to you only it stays here!
You had a busy week, but sorry it's so cold. I wish I could send you some of our super high heat that has arrived. It's going to be too hot for me. :) I had fun looking at your journal, as I always do. And that owl next to your drink, very very cute! I hope you have a super T day. And stay warm. hugs-Erika
Good luck with nicer weather. We must be at the edge of the famous “heat dome” over the midwest and east of the US, because it’s pretty hot with lots of thunderstorms here. I hope you get some nice summer weather soon.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
...Henry, you look so serious!
I do hope you get better weathers soon. It’s so frustrating. I remember when I lived in Holland 🇳🇱 and in 🇬🇧. Always cold and windy and rain, even in summer.
How wonderful that your colleagues are so helpful.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
We are finally getting some very hot Summer weather this week. Maybe it will make its way to you by next week. 🤞🏼Sleepy Hollow is another good show. Loved it. Your wizard drawing brought back a happy memory. The girlies used to have a computer program where they solved math problems in a fun way. If they took too long to think of the answer, the wizard came out, tapped his food and his wrist watch letting them know they were taking too long. So fun. Thanks for the memory
It is summer here this week. 32˚C today and tomorrow so I sat out on the roof deck last night and enjoyed it.
Love the journal pages, Iris.
Cool and windy here. I do enjoy your journal entries, they are fun to read.
I'm hearing stories of how much rain there has been in England- we were quite lucky in France weatherwise after the first week. We have similar shopping experiences in the UK - would love to do all of our shopping locally but so many closing down that sometimes online is the only way! Happy T Day, Chrisx x
Lovely journaling!
I am SO very sorry I'm late visiting. I truly intended to visit sooner, but I have been in so much pain, the only thing I've managed to do is use the toilet and sleep. It keeps the pain at a minimum when I sleep.
Your journal pages are always fun to read. Sorry you and Ingo have problems. Have you told him how you feel? If not, he won't know. No one is a mind reader.
Your secco rosato looks good and zero calories? Thanks for sharing your calendar and your drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
Erika, yes, I really do miss summer! I hope your temps arrive soon :-)
The owl carries my hand cream. To a great day, hugs

Mae, thunderstormes sound... scary!

Tom, Henry wonders where summmer is...
____
Lisca, yes, it is frustrating with this weather indeed. Aw, well, at least the rest is OK!
____
CJ, fun you like that show, too - any further tips are welcome!
Fun you have such memories about the wizard! Mine has time and time.... LOL
Warm weather might be on the way next week indeed, yippeeee

RedPat, 32C, owwww. 14 here. No balcony-weather yet! Thank you, the journal-making helps me keeping track of the crazy here, kinda.
____
Bill, you, too, with the cold? Ack. Thank you, wish more would join with the journal!
____
Chris, not enough rain here, just cold - and sad it´s the same everywhere with shops closing down and jobs getting lost....
Must get better xx

magiceye, thank you :-)

Dear Elizabeth ... I am very, very sorry you are in so much pain! I have seen Ingo in pain for so long, it hurt to see.
I spent my "pocket money" on pain-killers against the pain of my bone-infection back in the day. Pain is no "fun".
I hope you find help soon!!!!
Ingo and I are good again, no worries. It is very difficult times and in the company they had a serious talk yesterday.
It might get better - hopefully for ALL of us.
wish I could do some art work everyday, yours is all brilliant fun, but I never seem to find the time! My aim for July is to join in with Ceri the crafters Geliplay post cards thingy...but I can't see it happening, he already has heaps of stuff to use on his, and the fact that I'm not home til the 2nd of july isn't a good start...but inspiration is everywhere, so I will try! Happy very late T for Tuesday ((Lyn))
