T This Tired Week

 

My sad ticket to Elizabeth´s T...
 
The journal:
 

Monday: It seems to be Spring. A very cold Spring. Found this at FB:
 

But what is typical is... the tiredness.
Sooo tired, I slept in. Said to fK I plan to maybe paint the balcony, but did nothing.
 
 
Tuesday: Again, slept in and my stomach started hurting. Tried salad. I think it´s anxiety. I try not to get nervous about the job.
And I searched for recipes in hope I get hungry but that did not work. 
 
 
Wednesday: From bed to PC and back - no sport, nearly no eating. Had an apple. All other food, just thinking of it made me gag. DHL derouted my parcel to pack-station. I.was.home!!!!
At least a reason to go out. 
 

Thursday: Not getting better. At least the sun is shining and it warmed up a little. Got the Kärcher from the cellar...  fK is astonished I´ve heard nothing yet from fE, now two people are worrying. Half an apple. Other... more gagging. Doesn´t matter what I think of.. Pizza, Onion cake, spaghetti. Maybe that, too, causes this darn tiredness. Managed nearly a whole baguette..
 
 
Friday: Had a drink called "this is food". Went at least outside.
People are dumb. We live near the main fire-station. When they have to go out lights for crossing stay red for 15 minutes. Car-drivers have to wait, other you get a fine. 
I´d been crossing twice where there is no red light, just a few steps on (there were no children, checked that). When I reached the White horse lights were finally on green.
Went shopping, come out... looooong row of cars, heaps of people... fire-brigade out again!
Went back inside and came later out with a flower box for the balcony. 
Ingo went to get me a fruit salad.  Because... gagging.
 
 
Weekend: Saturday: Sleep in, egg and darn DHL delayed my parcel to Monday when I have an appointment at the doc. Hope they got it that they put it near the cellar door in case I´m not home. I´m really done with DHL! Twice in one week!
Why I have doubts? They have uneducated staff. Door bell: I go: a postie from another company, asking me where M is. Look.on.the.door.bell and try them, not me! This happens all the time. Fruit salad.
 
Sunday:  An egg, Die Maus and fairy tale, FB-chat with Sami (pics to come).
Done with HAVEN - thank you, River - in the end William Shatner has a role!!! Weeeee....  The circle closes with him! The Troubles, the Tribbles? The gifts? 
 

 
Bread - I ate bread, a wee bit but YES!
 
And started Death in Paradise, thank you River! LOL, back to the British accent!
 

I love the series! It´s hilarious! And too cute.
 
Munchy mostly:
 

Henry 🦁
 

 Oh, to a better week!

Hello Iris,
I am sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you are better soon.
Love the cute lizard and all your sketches. Henry has the right idea, sleep is a good cure. Take care, enjoy your day!

Tom said...

...Iris, I hope that you will be feeling better soon. Take care!

Iris Flavia said...

Hello Eileen, this week is all better already, thank you! Have a great day!

Iris Flavia said...

All good Tom, this was last week!

Lisca said...

I hope you are feeling a bit better now. I also get this when I'm nervous. I'm sure you can get over this.
I love Death in Paradise too. The lizard is called Harry! In the UK (I watch BBC) we have just finished season 15. The series has gone through several different detectives over the years. Each episode follows the same formula, but I like that. It's filmed in Guadaloupe, did you know? The inspector's beach shack is erected each season especially and taken down after filming has finished for the season.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

Iris Flavia said...

Good to know my body is normal after all - thank you!
Harry :-) No, so far the name was not revealed. Sad the fist inspector has to go... Thank you for the background-info! Happy T-Day!

My name is Erika. said...

I've been tired the last few days too. Like I could sleep all day. Maybe there's a sleeping sickness going around...or lack of spring. :) And I loved Haven. It was a good show. I need to check it out again since it's been ages. Thanks for reminding me. I hope you feel perkier soon. And are having a nice T day too. hugs-Erika

Kathylorraine said...

Glad you are feeling better Iris, awesome journal pages hugs Kathy

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Kathy, it was not a nice week... Things could be worse, though...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, Erika, the lack of Spring! Father Time should´ve asked for the way indeed! All better now. To Haven and bloggy-friends-tips! Hugs

The Padre said...

So Tired - Big Hugs

Cheers

RedPat said...

I'm glad that you are feeling better this week, Iris. The drawings are so cute.
We have been watching Death In Paradise for years and even the cast changes work out to be okay. Harry stays the same.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear friend Iris, I am so happy 😊 that you are feeling better. ❤️
Your sketches are fantastic and Henry is sleeping 😴 soundly.
Lots of love and hugs 🫂 🤗 ❤️

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, big hugs back and Cheers

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, RedPat. I´m kinda binge-watching this!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear friend Linda - oh, I´d love to just lay down by Henry´s side (well, on second thought the bed would be better...). Warm hugs and lots of hugs 🫂 🤗 ❤️

CJ Kennedy said...

So sorry you aren't feeling. I was tired today after I started cleaning the front entrance. Went to lie down and realized, it was allergies (hay fever) or allergic to housework! Hope you feel better soon. Happy T Day

Jeanie said...

Please consider going to the doc. A blood test could tell if you have low iron (tired) and /or infection, which might be part of the stomach stuff. Better to do it before you have to start work. Because you WILL have work!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

SO sorry to read you have been sick. I hope you are better soon. Your fruit salad looks good and your strawberry banana drink sounds wonderful. It will take the place of a meal, that's for sure.

It's been forever since I saw Haven. I've forgotten most of it. I LOVE Death in Paradise, but I only get it when they show it with other British programs on PBS. I think it's up to season 6 now.

Thanks for sharing your calendar (love the apple) and drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Iris. Feel better soon, please.

Iris Flavia said...

This was last week - I am good again :-) Eww... I hope yours was allergy to housework!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Jeanie, I´m good again! My tummy always troubles me when I am worried and... haha. When my heart raced for over two hours whilst I was in hospital I was advised to make an appointment with a doc: 3 months wait....

Iris Flavia said...

Ohh, you can comment, Blogger has a heart with you!
Thank you, I am all good again.
Yes, I was really sad when Haven was "done"! As here I´d get everything in German (and they mix up jokes etc) I buy the DVDs - Netflix is German here, too...

River said...

I am sorry you have been unable to eat. Are you sure it is just anxiety? I rarely get anxious, but when I do eating is what I do best. I stuff myself with whatever is handy and sweet. Death in Paradise is into season 15 here now, I love it still. I also like My Life is Murder which has Lucy Lawless who played Xena Warrior Princess years ago. Set in New Zealand I think, she is a baker who supplies restaurants and cafes with fresh baked loaves of sourdough bread while helping solve murders on the side.

Iris Flavia said...

Well, yes, I am so worried. And when worried I cannot eat. Plus. I don´t like sweets ;-) And since my doc told me I can let go of the pill I don´t even like crisps anymore. I´m in fruit-hell! My Life Is Murder? OK... On the list :-)

Granny Sue said...

Oh Iris, I hate that you are not feeling well. You do need to eat, though. Food=energy. But so hard when your stomach is a mess.
I loved Death in Paradise. Funny and touching.
Here's to a better week for you. And a job offer, soon.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, fK will talk to the boss tomorrow - I want to get back to ESE, no one else... good jobs are rare everywhere it seems, haha, that even rhymes!
