End of August will probably be my last work-related visit to Frankfurt. It will be a full circle moment for me. Starting the infrastructure in 2011 and retiring it 15 years later.
My projects are finally getting some traction and more and more gets finished. Finally! Took me long enough – I started to get frustrated.
I really can't wait for the temperatures to finally drop. It's forecasted for Saturday. Hope it stays cooler for a while.
It really takes up to a week until the temperature drops inside my apartment. And it is only June. Ugh.
I need to finish the splitting of my blogs and the theme redesign rather quickly now, it's been so long everything starts to look like shit again.
Friday and Saturday will be brutal with forecasted temperatures of 38° to 40° C. RIP me.
This heatwave is already unbearable, and can fuck right off, but we will have another week of 33° to 40° weather.
I am not ready for the heatwave that is coming next week. Hope it will be tolerable again the week after as I have to travel for work.
It really was the right decision to not cancel the trip. I am not over the moon elated, but my mood is better. The change of scenery, fresh air and breaking out of my old habits is good for me.
I am totally weird. I have a lot of "Fernweh" and at the same time I am not very excited to leave home. But I decided not to cancel my long weekend trip to Flensburg. I guess I just need to get over the hump. I will enjoy it once I am "on an adventure".
Brought my car to the cleaner and body painter. Won't get it back until Saturday. I feel so naked without my car.
Linkedin is hiding the dark mode in their preferences. The default is "ignore" instead of "system". WTF?!
I just realized that I can sleep in tomorrow! Woohoo!
Tomorrow I will have my first BBQ this year! Meat, sausages and salad are in the fridge, beverages are on ice. I am so ready!
Had a very productive day today. Finally completed a couple of errands: fetched a package, threw out a old balcony bench, got the A/C and the fans from the basement and did some grocery shopping.
I keep thinking today is Saturday. The additional day off is meddling with my brain.
Always an adventure when traveling with Deutsche Bahn. But today it's not the intercity transport but the local railway traffic for a change.
I want Stanley Tucci to take me on a culinary trip through Italy. Everything he eats looks so delicious.
What should I make for dinner today? I have no clue. The fridge is full of "nothing to eat".
So tired of everything lately. Even the smallest tasks take a tremendous mental effort. Little interest in anything and hard to concentate.
Just booked tickets for Thomas Bergersen in April 2027. Seen him a couple of years ago with "2 Steps from Hell". It's gonna be fun!
Had a nice dinner with an old friend who I hadn't seen for seven-ish years. It was a fun night out. To be continued… and hopefully more regularly.
Grief sucks and often strikes out of the blue. I am definitely an ugly crier.
This weekend was fun - the Stay Forever convention was good. Maybe I'll go to the one in Hannover in October, too.
Time to go home! Can't wait to sleep in my own bed again.
The pizza was delicious but I never ever want to eat again.
Haven't been up this early in years - lirerally.
Getting up at 07:00 ist torture. Ugh. The convention program better be worth it.
Had to make changes in my brokerage retirement account – some overlap in ETF. Drop in revenue these days scares me shitless. Need to remind myself that I'm in for the long game. There will come better times!
On Friday I'll go to a retro gaming podcast convention. It's gonna be an interesting schedule and access to a lot of retro gaming consoles!
Another Monday, another work week has begun. But it's a shorter one, there's a holiday on Friday!
Sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee and listening to podcasts. A little oasis of calm & quiet.
Trying to get into "The Sopranos" again. Last time I stopped watching mid Season 1. It is definitely a very slow burn.
After the cleaning today, the balcony is sparkling again!
Let the weekend begin!
If the weather holds, I might have the first BBQ of the year this weekend!
I would so much vote for a 3-day weekend. "Feierabend" can't come early enough today.
19° Celsius today. WTF. I am not ready for spring - and especially not ready for fucking summer!
Had a small sense of accomplishment and success today. Hasn't happened in a while.
Not sweating is expensive. Just paid 250€ to refill the car A/C cooling agent.
Cleaning, backing up, deactivating and resetting my mother's old phone. I don't think I can sell it just yet… I am not ready.
I got the "Monday Blues" already. The weekend went by to quickly. There should be a three day weekend.
I really cant make up my mind what direction I should take with my blog. Ugh.
My girlfriend went back home today. I miss her already. It's just a couple of weeks until I see here again, but the house feels so empty right now.
That was certainly a day. Too much context switching and a lot of information to absorb.
I will never be able to eat again... EVER!
A new restaurant opened up and I am looking forward to trying the new Asian buffet tonight. 🤤
After a while I just couldn't sleep anymore, even though I was tired as fuck. No matter how I tried to position myself, my back still hurt.
Slept extremely badly. After 05:00 I woke up every 60 to 90 minutes. Ugh.
My girlfriend made a pasta chicken casserole. I will never be able to move again. God, was that delicious!
I love bacon, but it does not always love me back *burp*.
"Feierabend!" - The day was very draining, and I do not even know exactly why. First days back at work after a while are always weird.
First day back at work after PTO is always the hardest. Ugh.
Just fixed a bug with the RSS feeds. Should look much better now.
Have a mighty need for a Döner Kebap right now!
I can't focus anymore. I need to go to bed now.
Very interesting podcast episode, but I will finish the last ~15 minutes tomorrow. I am really too tired…
This just went live – v1.0 deployed! I hope I did not forget anything and everything works as expected.
