  1. I have half a day of vacation, but the prior work half is mixed up with "order new freezer", "patch leaking window with duct tape", "prepare food". In the afternoon, #Gelbi and I will go to the vet for beak trimming. Maybe I'll work another hour on return or I just accept my time account having a bit of minus. What a day.

  2. - potato experiment in the #airfryer (thank you, to those who replied) has the potential to become something I could do regularly while working
    - managed to have #Gelbi bathed
    - postponing shower to the next day reduced the stress about remaining chores a tiny bit compared to a usual Sunday (sigh)

  3. @CazimodoCreative That's a shame with your vet. I'm taking #Gelbi today as well for beak-trimming, but so far I'm very pleased with our guy.

  4. - had a sudden pain attack in my black this morning, but was still able to work
    - food leftovers= no cooking effort
    - managed to get #Gelbi to his beak clipping appointment (seat heating ftw)

  5. Wow! Premiere! I managed to get #Gelbi in a grip in which he couldn't move and "let" my wife cut his claws. And even afterwards he didn't take off, but stood with me! 😯😎

  6. #Gelbi ended up crashing and clinging at the 3D-tiled wall, directly after bathing, instead of flying back to the cage downstairs like usual. Normally, he only ends up there, when going upwards without too much light. The first time he did it today, I didn't see him there for a few minutes. I hope he's fine. Munching 🫑 and wet seeds still seems to work, though.

  7. - managed to bathe #Gelbi
    - found out, what went wrong with @hinterzarten_news, before another round of posting outdated content

  8. @afelia says, that one starting point to defend democracy and to keep your sanity is appreciating positive things, so: belated #3GoodThings:
    - really annoying "let's check your work" meeting this week resulted in the checking department wanting to use our workflow as blueprint for others and our boss praising our work
    - friend kept talking with me, although they didn't like what I did (I still consider it right)
    - cuddling with #Gelbi on my knee, while he preened himself

    #ThreeGoodThings

  9. - managed to combine a meeting recording, I still had to listen to, the need for buying bird food (for outside) and a pizza shop on the road into a nice longer lunch break (that wasn't that long in the papers)
    - brushed teeth with #Gelbi, who made the cute sound when putting the lid on my mouth wash and who also bathed afterwards on my hand in the sink
    - called my aunt for #genealogy facts from the village - she didn't know, but invited me to visit her

  10. Belated #3GoodThings
    - received the marriage record of Wilhelm #Hercher wikitree.com/wiki/Hercher-27, which I had ordered three weeks ago. The right margin is full of side notes 😍
    - managed to stop working after 6.25 hours, which was a good compensation for the overtime of the last days and gave me some space
    - bathed #Gelbi and cuddled with him
    #ThreeGoodThings #Genealogy

  11. - #Gelbi only hit my shirt and not my freshly showered head
    - Paul #Steurenthaler has an improved #WikiTree profile at wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthale
    - my wife was nice to me the whole weekend, although I was very devastated and upset about having to go to work in presence for the next four days (without any benefit or purpose and yes, I know it's a luxury problem, I'm sorry, shout-out to all those people doing jobs that really can't be done from home - you rock!)

  12. Belated #3GoodThings:
    - had a burger and fries for lunch
    - bathed #Gelbi in the morning and cuddled with him in the evening
    - fixed some things in #WikiTree BEE as well as for @grabsteine and @OnlineOFBs

  13. Level of being lost and confused: I snoozed the alarm for "changing water at #Gelbi and #Graui" several times and was annoyed, that I only could snooze for one minute at a time. Suddenly a second alarm for the birds shows up. Oh right, the first one actually was the tea timer and not the one for the birds.🤦‍♂️

  14. - was looking forward to work, that's new!
    - bathing and cuddling with #Gelbi
    - managed to do a #grandma recording in the morning and some research this evening

  15. Belated #3GoodThings, after skipping some days due to workload, exhaustion and #April2025ConnectAThon:
    - beak cutting at the vet for #Gelbi went well, except being told that he's on the border of being too fat
    - managed to create #WikiTree profiles for at least 2 direct ancestors during #ConnectAThon wikitree.com/wiki/Pfefferle-54
    - 30 min after Thon, in which I showered, we approved the release at work, so it might get a little less hectic for the next few months until the next one
    #ThreeGoodThings

  16. - Our county replied, that they will consider including #Mastodon, after I wrote them in the weekend (town hall said, they forwarded the email internally). Meanwhile I have a bot almost ready to post the county news automatically until they make up their minds.
    - bathing and cuddling with #Gelbi
    - decided to stop working at one point, even with making minus hours, in order to do some private tasks, that were bugging me
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  17. - got some emails done that are due in until next weekend only
    - had a nice meeting with a fellow #WikiTree-er discussing a rather difficult "case" we're working on
    - small cuddle with #Gelbi, who keeps sitting on top of my knee and leaning against my palm
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  18. - transcribed some #grandma recordings before breakfast
    - had a really warm feedback talk with a colleague
    - #Gelbi cleaned himself while I brushed my teeth and then he bathed (on my hand, like usual)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  19. - workshop in presence was kind of ok and a lot better than expected this morning
    - brushing teeth with #Gelbi and cuddling afterwards while watching another episode of #Parenthood (starting to worry that there also might be more drama than initially expected)
    - went grocery shopping after work and bought a lot of goodies and some experiments
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  20. - brushing teeth with #Gelbi (including the mouthwash lid sound), then watching TV with a drying bird, who kept pushing himself into my palm, closing his eyes and dozing off ... until the kid's room door was opened and the whole #birb started vibrating and making happy noises
    - #Käsespätzle leftovers
    - two walks with my imaginary dog #Wuffi
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  21. @CazimodoCreative Poor Ziggy. #Gelbi is the same with anything snake-like: the vacuum cleaner, the shower hose and unfortunately also the solid braided toy with the bells on it. Balloons and A4 magazines provoke a similar reaction. #birb

    Poor Jadie. You and your flock also have a lovely day!

  22. - survived the first office presence day after my back pain (was really ok until the last hour)
    - Käsespätzle for lunch
    - brushing teeth with #Gelbi (including his cute noise when hitting the lid of my mouthwash against the bottle)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  23. - lots of moments, in which I had forgotten about the back pain, looks like I'm back to some 80%
    - nice discussions about the new #WikiTree design at @WikiTree_Stammtisch
    - bathing #Gelbi around noon (and having him mutter on my head while drying in the following meeting)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  24. - was able to do some things after eating and half a painkiller
    - we had Asian takeaway food
    - after brushing teeth together, #Gelbi requested a bath and I think he really let me pour water on him with my hand (the other hand was below him in the sink like always)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  25. - survived the whole working day despite back pain
    - managed to sit on the couch again with my feet up, instead of laying, and I was able to get up from it, without yelling or cursing afterwards
    - #Gelbi made the cute nose again, when I put the lid on my mouthwash, after brushing teeth (ok, it took some rounds of hitting the bottle with the lid, but I simply had to provoke that noise)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  26. @CazimodoCreative Right after moving in during renovation, our bed was in the living room, where the birds also were. I loved laying down and hearing #Gelbi shake his feathers, like wanting to say goodnight.

  27. - managed to survive the work day despite my back pain by switching places every few hours
    - didn't do that many breaks, so I was done early and binge watched #PrisonBreak afterwards (laying on the couch flat instead of the usual sitting with legs up)
    - managed to bathe #Gelbi (and to get up from in front of the sink afterwards)
    #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  28. - woke up at 3:30 and had time and energy for #grandma recordings
    - lots of time to code at work and almost no meetings
    - turns out #Gelbi's collar does weird things with light, which makes it look like he's bleeding, although he wasn't
