I´m GOO(d)



Haha, google is so funny, right?
It´s German Unity Day - on a Tuesday, too!

And google "divides" us - now, is that irony?

The Beetle´s windscreen says "GOO", the Trabbi´s "GLE".

We (Wessis) are "GOO".

Hm.

I´m "GOO(d)" for sure, good for the company.
This whole extra-long weekend I coughed myself through the mornings, with mornings meaning 04:00 am plus, telling myself, "tomorrow will be better" - never happened.

Tomorrow it won´t matter much anymore, 05:10 I´m up anyways.

I know. There are things way worse than a stupid cough, but, really, I´m so tired, and a bit frustrated, too.

What is the use of such a dry cough anyways?
With a "real" cough you get rid of icky stuff, but this?!

At least Ingo can sleep in.

If my "GLE"-guys are doing better?
It´s really crazy.
So many years ago the wall went down.
And still we think in East and West.
My colleague, sitting opposite me always uses phrases I have to ask back. He "makes" a lot and telling the time mostly leaves me puzzled like "when, exactly???" and him saying, "oh, you Wessies never get it!".

Well, let´s hope I don´t cough him down tomorrow.

Again... what is a dry cough good for?!
It´s POINTLESS.

Oh, and, yes: That´s a Koala on top of my monitor :-)

Unbelievable that after all that time there's still a difference.
I also had 2 colds while on holiday, ear infection, 2 lots of antibiotics and still coughed and coughed every night. Still coughing now even though not as much. Just went to see my Dr on Thursday and taking something for a possible throat bacteria. Hope you feel better soon Iris.

Oh, Sami, that´s awful. But now I do feel less cranky already, thank you - and: To health soon!!
Ingo "sends" me to our doc tomorrow to make sure it´s no pneumonia...

Yes, crazy there still is East and West Germany!
Also politically-wise. The right wing is much stronger and way more aggressive "over there".

Some people will never forget the divide and may even pass it down the line. Well yourself, Sami AND moi have that annoying dry cough, it's making me crazy Iris. I've been taking antibiotics for SIX weeks for a sinus infection.. it's so hard trying to remember to take it four times a day 😀 I'm glad Ingo is making you go to the doc, it's worth checking ✨

Oh, my goodness, Grace, six weeks?! That´s horrible!
And here I am complaining after just a few days, shame on me!
Let´s all get better really soon, right?!! Oh, weee... xox
And, yes, they pass it down for quite a while, I guess. Just have a look at how long we have that "war-guilt" on us...
