Today, I somehow don’t wake up properly, I am tired without end, but I can’t get enough sleep. After the last night it was 5 hours. In total it was the last 3 nights, 13 hours, which is a bit tight for me. And that although I have three mega exciting days behind me 😉
Thursday I had to go to Sürth to do something. I drove back with the KVB (Cologne transport companies). I can see in my mind how many people collapse and shake their heads. For the uninitiated our beautiful city, this is our public transport and it has almost traditionally a mega bad reputation.
The bus stop, I was told, is about 15 minutes away! So for me then approx. 30 minutes. I know, that doesn’t sound like much, but it was very warm. I wondered if I should accept the lady’s offer to call a taxi, but I thankfully refused. There was enough water on board. And go! Without shadows along the road, while the sun was burning. Sounds like an apocalyptic movie or a western, so I felt. I had to take a few small breaks to drink a sip. And the ascent to the train station was really exhausting. Fortunately there was an elevator down to the tracks. I wouldn’t have noticed it earlier 😉 Getting on the train with a walker is not that easy, but I was helped every time immediately, which is very nice and I also thanked and smiled friendly. However, one feels very ill. Getting out at Neumarkt was no problem. Elevator -1 floor up – check ! To find an elevator to the top, which was not defect, turned out to be a bit more difficult. At the top of the Neumarkt it was called line 1 or 7. When I sat well, call my sister and tell her when I will be in Weiden West. It was exhausting but ok. Arrived at home I was glad to have made it alone.
On Fridays the BuLi game day begins. Usually I start the day with sending 10-15 reminder short messages, so that all players have given their tips at 7:30pm. This reminds me of the matchday summary I wanted to write. You don’t get anything :-). I quickly get to neuro-PT and finish it afterwards. Small camera, scarf, jersey on (this season no. 22 Jorge Mere) and off to Müngersdorf. First home game, everyone is there earlier, you have to greet and discuss first. My club has given me a disabled parking lot (if the pension office would be so uncomplicated) and I can go through the media entrance. <3 effzeh <3 I give the walker to the Red Cross and then walk slowly to my place. 6. row is well feasible (also without railing). Because of the parking lot everything is more relaxed. The game was less relaxing. We had a new chain of four, 2 players gave their BuLi debut. The conditions could have been better. But in the end the “BVB” needed Brand’s substitution to win. They change Brand and we Höger, where I’m always afraid that he’ll get a red card immediately or tear the cruciate ligament. The replacement of Cordoba due to injury didn’t do us any good. He also dropped out against Freiburg. Congratulations to the “Schwarzwald”. We deserved at least one point. Nevertheless, I was proud and satisfied with the boys. 78 minutes we had them on the verge of defeat and it would not even have been undeserved.
Around 1:30 o’clock I was in bed! Getting up the next morning didn’t look so smooth.
Saturday should be the day, the flight over Cologne, which had already been postponed, was on the agenda. Bonn Hangelar, a cute little village with an airport for motor and glider pilots. Of course we arrived a little earlier and had a cold drink in the shadow of the tower. To our pilot Patrick, I had mentioned before the wishes concerning the route and had asked whether I come due to my restriction at all into the Cessna.
When it was clear which “our” Cessna is, I was reassured, there was at least one kick and the entrance is not so high. Nevertheless I needed support when getting in, but it is warm in there. That looks cute when the pilot puts an Ipad and a map including a checklist around his thighs to do this checkup.
And then it started. The Rhine up to Cologne over the cathedral. It is really the most beautiful station chapel in the world.
Along Aachenerstraße to the most beautiful stadium in the most beautiful city of Germany. When you then see the north curve and your place… <3 past
Brauweiler to Berrendorf to the brown coal mine. It looks like the earth is a disc after all and simply stops here.
Via the airport Nörvenich, Godeshöhe (Venusberg University Hospital) we went back to Hangelar. I got well out of the plane on my own, climbed over the wheel. And then: I’m still standing well!!!
I was already rolling over the meadow. When I stopped laughing, Patrick was already there. Marion – quadruped stand ect. no that was nothing for Patrick and before I knew it I stood on my feet! And I am really no elf at the moment. Only that I did not stand stable and tilted almost like a board to the back. In the end everything was good and with the stick and breaks I arrived intact at the car. But it took a while until my legs belonged correctly to me again and also my sense of balance was halfway under control.
But it was a great experience and I have to do it again because of the pictures. ? and my sister was so inspired that she even drove highway! ?
