With this Caffé Dolce Vanilla I join Elizabeth´s T. Hmmm, this was really good!
Not too sweet.
The journal:
Monday: Called Ingo´s doc for meds. Computer: dial #1 for that - did not work last time, so > #2 after waiting endlessly, explained, need it NOW, TODAY.
I talk to a PERSON!!!! A real human being!!!
"Order it via #1, bye".
Ingo. YOU NEED A NEW DOC!!!!! This is hilarious! I called 08:10 > all systems up, few patients, why not make a note?
What a shitty start to a new week - apart from Nicole´s help on strawberries and the "runners" 🤣
New study-chunk: "Contract law, corporate law, e-commerce law, copyright law" - I want to go back to bed right now! Instead later after mini-Chunk#7 fK:
A very welcomed break! fK, like Ingo, said, it´s OK to skip the family-event. Now I am "double-safe" in my mind. I WANT to meet my family, just not with who-knows-how-many-people and we do not have contact.
See, I´d need to rent a car, all the driving... for what?
Tuesday: 4C!!!! 39F....
Wrote an e-mail to mM2 (my maybe future teamleader#2) cause at LinkedIn our railway-team was not represented. They took the time to take care of their people instead. 👍
Answer came right back, I am not forgotten - because: we talked about lithium ion batteries when I was there in December. I kne-hew!! Knowledge!
I had a project we sadly lost as it is not safe enough yet with those batteries on trains - a colleague from fire & safety 🧯 wanted me in. Coincidences!
Be.In.The.Office.Once.In.A.While!!! Helps!
Was in the city. Spotted 13 pantos 😍 Had them on my PC and at InnoTrans Berlin really touched one!!!!
My railway-love!
Study..... aaaaaargh!!!!! Sooooo boring.
Wednesday: Ear-doc could help me, she is supernice, funny and I didn´d wait long, obviously it is common now that patients help!!!! "can you hold the bowl, please?", whilst she worked on my ear.... got myself a Quesadilla - who.eats.so.much! 4 meals. 10 pantos! Should go to the city on that route more often! Chunk #8 done.
TV: Pizza-test: "optical it looks good".. Duuuude, really? That´s like a "round circle" or "newly renovated". Emberrassing...
It is called Ple·o·nas·mus
I got from fK and she wrote it´s Greek
in Greek and that the "Körser" is set in a different manner now, so she cannot switch to Greek.
If we use online "Körser" for "curser" maybe KI will establish that, she suggested.
Let´s see!
Körser!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This was 2003. Bro studied in Köln (Cologne) and I visited for two fun weeks.
We slept in one room. An impossible thought when we were kids, but as adults it worked!
Went to get cookies for Ingo and Bea was at the check-out, so I went there to pay and have a nice, short chat :-)
Usually I take the self-check-out.
Thursday: spontaneous fK-day again. We chatted over a cuppa tea, then took care of some of the strawberries (in GDR kids learned this at school), then drove to the nursery to get soil and a bee-friendly lavender I could not pass by.
Started study-chunk #9, "Typography for information documents".
80 years ago today Germany was finally defeated, WWII was over, also thanks to the Russians. To commemorate only representatives from USA, France and Great Britain attended - not the Russians, not invited. I hate to write "the Russians", actually, it is thanks to bloody Put#n.
"On May 8, 1945, we were liberated," recalled Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier during the commemoration ceremony marking the end of World War II in the Bundestag. Even today, 80 years later, he expressed his deep gratitude to the Allied soldiers and the European resistance movements that defeated the Nazi regime. We will not forget that." (source)
There is no "the Russians" as there is no "the Germans"... it is the "leaders", always, also now...
Friday: Finished lesson#1 (out of 9!!!) that came with two tests. IN .pdf. I am too old for this!!! Till I found out how to draw and then it was like a PC-game with the buttons up, down, left, right, gaaaaa...
Actually .pdf-files are an END-product! Hope I made it, don´t wanna do that again!
Nearly puked seeing the news on how Put#n celebrated himself and yelled out lies about Ukraine. Media is so strong there and internet is intranet - they all seemed to believe it all.
I fear the war will go on some long time. And, if they fail, we´re all doomed in Europe. We are so close...
Weekend: Saturday: Went to the city and got myself a Döner after sleeping in like a dead one. Studies really take their tolls! Then put out seeds for the bees - WISH ME LUCK!!!
Sunday: @Die Maus, "the animal" - girl takes the stairs, whilst animal takes the lift. Stairs are blocked. girl... "I cannot take the lift, I am claustrophobic!".
Me in the arcades, the escalator is with glass, and I have fear of heights and ask for the lift. Cash-out-woman: "Dunno where that is I am claustrophobic".
Real life, huh. (I found the lift). Really, without Ingo I can take the escalator upwards, but not down. Silly, I know...
As with Emus the seahorse-Papas take care of the kids, so, ... to Moms and Papas! Well done, Die Maus! It´s Mother´s Day!
Munchy:
I sometimes "miscooked" and this was but "OK". I was honest and Ingo got mad.
Do you lie to your partner? I do not.
I preferred this:
Henry 🦁
But to match our dear host, on our fridge from "my" company ese:

Sorry Ingo is sick again, hope the medicine came quick enough. I lie to my ex and tell him he is doing okay, when I know he isn't but if I say truth he gets angry and throws things. Last year he threw his phone and now I have a picture on my wall to cover the dent. He is unwell mentally and getting worse. One day I will have to tell him not to visit anymore.
I'm glad you are making it through the tests, I think at the end you will have your job back.
Funny about not being able to ride down the escalator.
Ingo is chronically sick, sadly. That will never get better. We have to live with it and it is difficult for a healthy person, really. I can eat anything, do anything...
Your ex still visits? Mine I would slam the door in front of his face - with force!! "LOL"....
My "new teacher" said he is a nice person. Aw, well, but it is sooooo boring! At least right now. About fonts. Who needs that?
Fear of height is really very stupid, but I cannot help it!
I also have a fear of heights, but don't mind being in an airplane.
I think you are doing great on your testing and learning. It won't be long now.
Glad you got the meds for Ingo. Sounds like he needed them right away.
Your coffee drink looks good. Thanks for sharing your meals, your calendar, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday.
...I'm looking forward to local strawberries!
Luckily I can hop on a plane, too!
Ha. December!! Feels like an "eternity"!
Ingo is chronically sick, needs them every day... and has a talent to wait till the last sec.
Oh, so YES!!!!
All looking fabulous! The the jounal pages looks really exciting! Sometimes when people draw 'quickly' the pictures have more movement in them! have a Happy T day ((Lyn))
You and CJ both have super power in your posts today I don't think I have any super powers, except being me I guess. And I wonder if the doner you showed is similar to the ones in Newfoundland. They call theirs donairs. I had one but it was a long time ago and can't really remember what was in it. Have a super T day Iris. hugs-Erika
My Super Power Is Definitely The Ability To Walk Away From Stupidity - Hang In There And Eat Those Vitamins
Stay Strong ,
Cheers
Love the journal pages, Iris. You are doing so well with your courses.
Well done on your class, Iris. You're closing in! And if you think Putin's parade was nauseating, just wait till Trump's birthday military parade in June. Get a big bucket.
Well you have been busy, no wonder you and Henry are exhausted 😊. I've not had a doner kebab in ages, so yummy ❤️. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Keep up the good work, Iris and soon it will end and you'll be free.
Oh well done you with all that studying. Yes, I agree, it sounds very boring, so double well done!
Yes, I also hate these choose 1 or press 2 etc robots. I also like to speak to a human. And then you have to listen to a long legal message and a warning that conversations could be recorded for training purposes blablabla. (And here this is all in Spanish!)
Your picture diary is always fun to look at.
What a gorgeous photo of you and your bro in 2003!
I haven't had a döner for years. There's a kebab place opened in my village recently, but I haven't had one yet. Must try one soon.
Lovely photo of young Henry asleep.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I get so upset with the robo answering system. NO ONE in the US has a person answer. Sorry Ingo needs meds. I hope he is OK. I really enjoy seeing your art journals. You are so funny at times. You and your brother look nice together. 2003 can you believe it is so long ago. I'm surprised there was a representative from the US. It is so terrible over here. On a good note. I am so happy to help you with the strawberries. I hope they grow. LOL
I always enjoy your journal. Strawberries, yes! We had to till our plants under, the weeds just overtook them.
All that studying must get stressful, but you are sticking with it!
I am sorry Ingo is sick again. Poor guy. And poor you for having to deal with it.
I hope you have good luck with your strawberries. We had a strawberry patch many years ago. The berries looked beautiful until picked. The chipmunks took a bit from the back of each strawberry! No strawberries for us. Happy T Day
Oh!!!!! Need to put nets over them!
Thank you, yes, I just do quick sketches for this! No patience!
Being you IS a superpower! :-) You´re a very kind person! Our Döner is Turkish-based. Very yummy!!! Hugs
That´s a VERY good super power!!! Cheers to that!!!
Oh, RedPat, thank you,it is tough!
Oh, Jeanie!!!! "LOL", bucket is in the bathroom - reckon I´ll need it!
Jo, I am thinking of getting another Döner today! Hmmm, it was so yummy! And the people so friendly!
Oh, Bill, December is still a long way to go....
Oh, yes, all the blablabla on those machines is terrible! And if you call via mobile expensive!
Thank you, Bro and I had a great time! Go for the Döner! Wish I could go back to sleep, too ;-)
Oh, often here you still have people on the phone. But that doc drives me nuts. Yes, Ingo is chronically ill.
Me, funny? I am the most boring person around, I think! 2003.... ages ago!!!
Yes, "we" owe you big! With WWII... and the strawberries :-)
Thank you, the journal keeps me sane. Just wish someone would join me! Yes, that studying is so... "dumb". Ingo is chronically sick, that will never change, this is our life...
" a talent to wait until the last sec" is not good, he needs to aways have the medicine ready and shouldn't wait until it is almost too late.
Robot answer machines - total nightmare! Especially for docs, then a long wait in a queue with awful music! I waited 26minutes the other day but need to because I need extra meds for our holiday! Thank goodness new meds seem to be working! I totally get the escalator- up is fine-ish on my own but hubby has to go down in front of me so I just look at the back of his head! You know I love your drawings Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
Yapp. He has me running every time...
Ingo´s has the noise of someone walking!!!! Annoying!!! I often waited 10 minutes and then. Kicked out! Yes to Hubbies first :-) x
