Good Morning ;)

Hallo, Frau Claudia and the rest of the funky bunch!<br><br>I finally got a WiFi network set up at home! (My parents don’t really know how to use computers so they got rid of their Internet service after I originally moved out 6 years ago). It’s good to have a reliable Internet connection again without having to worry about blowing through my phone’s monthly data plan 😅<br><br>I’m itching to get back to work, but unfortunately I have to wait until the provincial college and ministry of health give me the green light to practice in Alberta. I’m hoping that it won’t take long to verify my credentials, but in my free time I’ve been browsing through different job postings. At this point I think working at a walk-in clinic is a good fit for me - there’s much less paperwork, my overhead costs are contingent on how many shifts I work, and there’ll hopefully be some admin-type person to handle the billing end of things. But I think what I liked best about it was that the vast majority of patients I saw were ones who, despite having conditions that absolutely require the involvement of a family physician, had no doctor that they could see on a regular basis.<br><br>Of course it’s terrible that these patients don’t have a regular GP, but I felt like I was really meeting a need and providing a valuable service in the community. And most patients were both pleasant to work with and grateful for the help, and it’s always nice to feel needed and appreciated 🙂<br><br><b>Morning ritual!</b> To be honest, the first thing I do in the morning is hit the snooze button on my phone 😴 The second thing I do is hit the snooze button again 8 minutes later 😑 The third thing I do is swear under my breath about how I’m now probably going to be late for [insert obligation here] 🤦🏻‍♀️<br><br><b>Getting stuck!</b> Hmm...I’m not really claustrophobic, so I’d probably be okay if I got stuck in an elevator. But if I got stuck in a location because I’d been taken hostage at gunpoint by a crazed criminal? That would be terrifying 🤭<br><br><b>I actually had no idea what this question was referring to...</b> After looking up what manner of beans these were, I’d probably be most partial to banana or green apple 🤤<br><br><b>Annoying celebrities!</b> Donald Trump 😒 Seriously, fuck that guy. He needs to be impeached before he starts World War 3.<br><br><b>Wet dreams! (Not <i>those</i> kind)</b> Hmm...at first I was going to pick something tasty and drinkable, like Capri Sun. But there’s no way that I’d emerge from a pool of that stuff without being sticky from head to toe. It’d also probably be gross to drink it if the pool is just lying out in the open, since dust and mosquitos and God knows what else would get into it.<br><br>Maybe something nicely scented, like rose water or water infused with eucalyptus? Just enough of the aromatic ingredient that I step out feeling relaxed and smelling amazing, but not so much that it irritates the hell out of my eyes 👀

Guten Morgen Gaelandia. A nice Sonntag to everyone. Hope you are all well? I just came home from my "Perseids watch". Sadly it was too cloudy... no Sternschnuppen to be seen. :( Maybe I´ll have more luck tomorrow. :) Are you in the mood for some Fragen? Hm? Though there are also some left from yesterday. Dankeschön Emmy Schatz. What is the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? Where is the worst place you could get stuck What is your favorite flavour of “Berty Bots every flavoured beans”? What celebrity annoys you the most? If you could swim in any liquid what would it be? Danke meine Lieben, wie immer. XD

Hallo to Emmy and the Fraugen! Ooh, can I hope for the rain? I know the weather has been unbearably hot on your side of the ocean. (I mean, it's been roasting here, too, but my region is better equipped to handle it.) Nightmares suck, especially when you get a string of them. Bleh to that. Here's to some distractions! And now, this: <b>Favorite nicknames</b> — Mmf, I've only ever been given two nicknames in my whole life, because my mother deliberately chose a name for which she thought there was no nickname, and <i>viciously</i> condemned anyone who did try to shorten my name as a kid. (Like, she yelled at my cousin for doing it. It was...a thing.) But I liked the nickname "Rey-Rey" so much that I've maintained it here in my Gaelandia handle. <b>Cute or ironic?</b> — I'm not sure, because it's hard to know in both cases whether the name comes from a place of love or derision. The overblown cutesy nicknames are less likely to be misinterpreted by others, however; for instance, I may be fine with my friend calling me "bitch," but heaven help you if you haven't earned the right to use that word with me. <b>Nicknames I dislike</b> — I've never had a particular dislike of a nickname I've gotten—again, because I've only ever had two in my life. I guess I did dislike "Peanut," because it was a bit infantilizing and even though I was, in fact, a child at the time, I was in an environment where I competed (and won) against kids who were older than me. I didn't particularly like being made out to be even younger than I already was. <b>Lovers' pet names</b> — Even in my final relationship, I never developed a "favorite" thing to be called. It was never something that was important to me. <b>Heart-racing—exo-Gaelandia edition!</b> — With that qualifier in place—nope, no one has ever whispered anything in my ear that's gotten that reaction out of me. <b>Whispers from me to...</b> — I think I would whisper, <i>"I realize what I said was wrong and that it hurt you. It wasn't fair of me to say. I'm sorry."</i> (To be clear, I've already said this at regular volume, too—but one must be anxious when one screws up, mustn't one?)

Guten Morgen Gaelandia! Yup, looks like our gelieber Töpferdrache Claudi is off on some adventures! (Or hopefully having a well-deserved long lazy sexy lie in while listening to the rain....) I've had a long night of strange and frankly upsetting nightmares - downside of a vivid imagination. Sometimes the fucker fights back. Hard. - and could do with some distracting. So, in the interests of procrastinating mentally analysing which nasty little corner of my brain THAT crawled from, you get to suffer through my Fragen again! XDDDD Everyone gets given different nicknames from different people in their lives, depending on what you mean to them. What's your favourite nickname that you have ever been given? Which is better? Overblown cutesy nicknames or ironically insulting ones? Have you ever been given a nickname which you really do not like? What are your favourite pet names to hear a lover call you? Has anyone ever whispered anything in your ear that made your heart race? Either from lust or happiness?(To stop this question from being too easy, anything from a Gael audio is disqualified ...... ;) ) If you could whisper anything in someone’s ear right now - whoever that someone is to you - what would you say to them? Danke für eure Antworten beans! XDDD (Ich hoffe du hast einen guten Tag Spätzchen! :) )

Hallo, Frau Claudia and the rest of you fiery femme fatales! Good God, it is blazing hot here, my good Frau 😵 The city is scheduled to turn into a giant convection oven tomorrow with a daytime high of 36°C 😩 I hate how this damned heat wave seems to be following me from one province to another, but at least it’s more of a dry heat here. Humidity, as we all know, makes things 1000 times worse. (But oh man, if I could control the weather, my default setting would be a nice balmy 20-24°C with a cool breeze and the occasional warm drizzle to liven things up. This would probably wreak havoc on many an ecosystem and somehow cripple the agricultural industry, but at least <i>I’d</i> be comfortable 😜) As for the <i>Fragen</i>... <b>The most valuable sense!</b> I’d go with sight. It would suck to no longer be able to listen to music or hear people speak, but there are loads of people out there who are highly functional despite being deaf/hearing impaired. Obviously my job would become much more difficult, but being blind would probably be a bigger obstacle than being deaf. Losing smell (and therefore taste) would also be a total downer, but I think I would adjust to it over time. Although touch is one of the 5 senses, I’m not factoring it into my answer because...well, it’s rather hard to conceive of what it would be like to completely lose one’s sense of touch. I imagine it would be more or less impossible to walk or do most purposeful movements, kinda like being quadriplegic and then some 😐 But if I had to choose between being completely paralyzed yet able to see and hear vs. being blind and deaf but with my sense of touch still intact...well, I guess I don’t know what I’d choose 😕 <b>Forbidden fruit!</b> I’ve never tried durian before - its odour is more than enough to dissuade me from putting it in my mouth. However, my bro and I used to have these little <i>"How much pain can you take?"</i> competitions when we were younger, and one of the challenges was playing a game of catch with a giant ass durian. He won more often than not 😒👎 <b>Topics That Doc Knows Nothing About: Quicksand Edition!</b> <i>My answer prior to Googling the topic</i> - I thought I once heard that you’re supposed to try to increase your surface area as much as possible. If that’s actually true, then I suppose it would be better to try to float on the stuff than swim in it 🤔 <i>My answer after Googling the topic</i> - Okay, it seems like I would have to do both: <a href="https://www.google.ca/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Get-out-of-Quicksand%3famp=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.google.ca/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Get-out-of-Quicksand%3famp=1</a><br><br>So if I’m interpreting this correctly, I would have to slowly lean back and lie supine in the quicksand so that I can float in it. From there, I would have to take small, slow strokes to "swim" to the edge of the sand pit. Interesting. Ya learn something new everyday, right? 🤓👍 <b>Songwriting!</b> I don’t know how to compose music, so I haven’t written a song before from an instrumental perspective. But I have written lyrics to the tunes of different songs that I know...so yes and no, leaning more towards no?

Such tantalizing gif. 😶

Guten Morgen Gaelandia. A wonderful Freitag to everyone. Ahhhh, it raaaains!! Finally! Wonderful Gewitter - thunderstorms! :)) And they said it shall be cooler tomorrow... well, let´s see. I´ m sipping cold lemon tea, watching the rain, waiting for Li´l Seanie to reach 1250°. He´s taking forever maybe he needs some new spirals... I have some Fragen for you? Hm? :) Which of the five senses is most important to you? What kind of Frucht - fruit have you never had? If you fell into Treibsand - quicksand, would you try to swim or try to float? Have you ever written a Lied - song? Danke für eure Antworten, my dears. XD

Dang it, that audio nearly put me to sleep. but in a nice way.

Guten Tag, Frau Claudia and the rest of you streetcars named desire! (Err...I know that doesn’t quite work as a term of endearment, but I’m going to blame my lack of creativity on the heat 😑)<br><br>I picked up my little darlings from my friend/catsitter yesterday, and so far they’re adjusting well to their new home. Although Roz is still a bit timid around my parents, she’s thankfully eating and drinking well 🤗 Hopefully having more space to roam around will make it easier for them to exercise and lose a bit of weight (they’re both a bit too pleasingly plump 🤭)<br><br><b>Weird solo ventures!</b> While <i>I</i> don’t think it was particularly weird, I’m sure most other people would find it strange that I once self-treated some keloid scars whilst alone in the clinic after hours. And by self-treated I mean <b>[TMI alert]</b> that I injected some 1% lidocaine into the base of the scars for local anesthesia, then excised them as best I could with a scalpel. There was a bit more bleeding than I expected, but nothing that couldn’t be managed by applying firm pressure with some gauze and swearing like a sailor. (Trust me, swearing has coagulant effects ☝️🤓)<br><br>But so as to not be completely irresponsible in this <i>Antworten</i>, I caution all of you that <b>you should not attempt the surgical excision of anything</b> (save for maybe a superficial splinter or bee stinger) <b>at home.</b> Surgical removal of keloid scars isn’t always the best treatment anyway, as there’s the risk that the scars will recur in an even greater size. But 1) I used silicone sheets and pressure dressings as adjunct treatments, and 2) I probably also got lucky that the scars haven’t grown back.<br><br><b>Caught in the act!</b> A number of years back, my dad once walked into my room without knocking. At the time I’d been spanking the monkey, but luckily I was lying in bed under the covers. I remembering being too startled to say anything, but I must’ve shot him an epic <i>"Get the hell out of my room!"</i> death stare because he immediately mumbled an apology and left, closing the door behind him.<br><br>Although he’d probably clued in to what I’d been doing, I’m just going to pretend that he didn’t because to think otherwise is mortifying 😵<br><br><b>Wishes!</b> I’d wish for my loved ones and I to be happy, healthy, and safe 💜<br><br><b>Surprising turn ons!</b> When a guy is good at interacting with kids. I mean, I know lots of people probably regard that as a turn on because it can give the whole <i>"Ooh, I bet he’d be such a good father!" </i>impression. But I guess I find it surprising because I don’t even know if <i>I</i> want kids, so I can’t say that I’ve ever deliberately sought out guys who would be great "father material".<br><br>In my mind, a guy who’s good with kids is patient, imaginative, nurturing, and protective. Those are all traits I value in a prospective partner 😏

Guten Morgen Gaelandia. A happy Mittwoch to everyone. Another hot summer night here, watching the kilns. The kittens are spending their days down in the Tonkeller - clay cellar now, where it´ s nice and cool, leaving little clay pawprints everywhere. :) I have some assorted Fragen if you like? Hm? What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done when you were alone? What’s the most embarrassing thing your parents have caught you doing? If you could make one wish right this second, what would it be? What’s the most surprising thing that’s ever turned you on? Danke for your answers meine lieben Fraugen. XD
