Busy Weekend Recap

Seems like it’s constantly raining here – yuk! My cold isn’t getting any better either with this shitty weather. Ah well, I’ll be in the city of 30°C next week so it might be nice to be used to cold AC like temperatures. 😉
Had a busy weekend. Saturday we had the TV team here and shoot a little clip about the genetically modified corn field near us. A farmer friend said a few things and my step-dad, too and it was nice to see my old roommate who was the journalist for this little production. I might be in it, too depending on how they cut. Go see it on NDR next Monday 8/6 at 20:15 in Markt.
Right after that we celebrated my step-dad’s birthday with good food and lots of family friends until 2am.
Sunday my dad gave me a lift to Hamburg and we had wanted to see the HSV soccer match but surprisingly that was sold out. Hmmm. Well, I then went over to my friend’s place but I did feel bad for my dad who had only driven up because of that. Oh well. I met Anke at R-Eis, a milkrice bar. Super cool and man I should have taken a photo of the interior design I absolutely loved it! Had some pear-cinnamon rice and a latte macchiato for 3,50€. Gotta love student eateries. We then trooped back home after dropping of her sister at the train station. Bloody rain. But a cup of tea and rattatouille warmed us back up and we enjoyed some TV and chatted.
Monday I went for my interview, which was alright but kind of weird “Well you have all the qualifications (lists everything), what do you want here?” and “We don’t really have a strategy here” and well it was all kind of weird. Don’t think it’s my cup of tea. Afterwards I got some cake and a croissant at my favorite bakery and we hung out some more and then I took the train back home. Of course I got in with a 20 minutes delay but I still made it to the dentist before they closed and she said my tooth is fine, it’s just a crack with a discoloration. I love my dentist. She calls me with my first name and always asks what I’m doing now and my sisters and my mom and blabla. We’ve been going there for more than 10 years now and you know how villages are. Anyways, I’m glad it’s not caries. Yay! 🙂
Oh and about the cortisol, it’s actually not that bad when you inhale it. My doc talked about that with me, too. The pills are a real bitch but I only inhale a thousanths of the dosis and the biggest side-effect is some mouth fungus from the transporation particles and not even the corticol itself if you don’t rinse your mouth afterwards. Well I brush my teeth right after inhaling it so that should do the trick.
Alrighty, hope you’re all doing well! Smoochies!


What Your Soul Really Looks Like


You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to.

You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you’re head is in the clouds.

You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you’re a bit full of yourself.

Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you’re concerned, that’s a very good thing.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn’t fall in love with someone you didn’t trust.


You Have Many Alpha Tendencies


You’re not a total alpha female, but you certainly know how to – and like to – get your way.
You’re forceful without being intimidating. You’re confident without being vain. A perfect mix.


Your Famous Last Words Will Be:


“Nice doggy.”


You Are A Fig Tree


You are very independent and strong minded.
A hard worker when you want to be, you play hard too.
You are honest and loyal. You hate contradiction or arguments.
You love life, and you live for your friends, children, and animals.
A great sense of humor, artistic talent, and intelligence are all gifts you possess.

No No and Yes

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and I went with the intention of getting confirmed that my asthma has been really good and I’m basically fine for some disability insurance. After waiting an hour, even though I had an appointment, I spoke to the doc and she had my lungs’ functions tested after giving having me get a quadruple shot (yay for multiple protection in one shot). Well, it turned out that my lungs are only having about 75% of normal capacity right now and some test was even at 65%. I was like “huh?! Nooooooo!” as I really do feel great and my nordic walking is much faster with less huffing and puffing than my Mom’s who does loads of excercise. Ah well, maybe I just didn’t do the test right but either way, I’m gonna have to take some cortisol twice a day now. Fun fun. Not! But if I feel great now, imagine how I’ll feel after having taken that medicine for a while.

In the afternoon I went to the hair dresser to have my hair trimmed. Uhm yeah not too sure what to think of what she did. She just cut shorter and shorter and I was like, uhm… ok way enough. I mean my hair was way too long but I’m not really happy with what she did to me. Hmpf! No!

But yes, I got my flight confirmation and I’m gonna fly to Charlotte in 1.5 weeks and I’ll stay three weeks to relax, hang out in the pool, see all my friends again, shop, and drink loads of sweet tea! Should be fun. Yay!

Not Much Going on

No wonder I’ve been so lazy about blogging, nothing’s happening here really except some job things that I won’t blog about publicly though. Went to my grand-ma’s with my dad yesterday after having bugged him long enough about going there with me. She seems like she’s come back well from her stroke and heart-attack last December. We went grocery shopping for her and then had some yummy Eichsfelder coldcuts lunch. Mmmm! Too bad I couldn’t fit anymore in my tummy, would have loved to have tried that liversausage, too.
Hmmmm, whatelse… I hung out with Juliane on Saturday. They got a new puppy and he’s too cute! Went on a walk with all their 3 dogs and the poor old one kept trotting behind but at least she did walk seeing that she hadn’t been able to do that before.
My old roommate from Hamburg also called me (well both of them did but I mean the one that works as a journalist). She wants to shoot a story about that genetically manipulated corn that’s being tested on a field near here and we gave her a couple of contacts to talk to. Well turned out all these organic farmers that are soooo against the field don’t want to appear in front of a camera for who knows what reasons. Come on, they have an opportunity to get their point accross and they don’t want to do it… uhm-kay (oh and it’s not private TV, it’s a public channel, too). Ah well.
Oh yeah I’m supposed to write that Marc and I were on the phone for ages yesterday and it was nice to catch up with him. 😉
This week I have a couple of appointments. Dr.’s on Friday, hopefully hair dresser, too, then Saturday my step-dad has his birthday party and then Sunday I’m going to Hamburg with my Dad and maybe I’ll watch his soccer team (HSV) play or maybe not, then I’ll go straight to my friend’s place where I’ll stay the night before I have an interview there.
Alright, I’ll stop boring everybody now… toodles!

33°C

All of a sudden summer came back. From 15° or so to over 30° in 2 days. Yeah great. But at least it’s not raining anymore and skirts and shorts are back out of my closet. Yay! Now all I need is a pool ;-).
Tomorrow is my great-aunt’s funeral. She passed away at 82 after having laid in bed for about 4 years now. My mom is very upset as it was her god-mother. I can’t say I knew her much but seeing that my mom is so sad I’ll go to the funeral, too. Still debating about what to wear. I take it a black bikini is out of question but man, it’s gonna be hot in the midday heat in black clothes. I’m thinking about maybe a navy skirt and a black tee; that should be fine…
Last week I went bowling with my friend Jenny and her colleagues. Funny thing is that one of our old classmates now works with her and he was bowling, too. It’s always nice to meet old high-school mates again. Oh yeah and I totally sucked at bowling…. 96, 77, 64. Yeah enough said… The 96 is fine but the rest… oh boy… Need to play more than once every 2 years I guess 😉
Oh I also finally called Steffen, a college mate who lives and works in my town now. I said we should meet up and do a little Werni-Reunion so hopefully we’ll do that later this summer.
Nothing definite at the job front yet but things are looking well and with loads of finger crossing I’ll have a nice job soon. Oh yeah, I never heard from the company in Frankfurt again. Hmmm. Well the job isn’t my thing anyways I realized but still weird to not have heard from them at all – they did reimburse me for my trainticket there, though. Ah well, doesn’t matter. 🙂
