And my complaint for the day is that I swore out of frustration after tripping over my dad's guitar, which he hadn't put away, and we ended up in a massive row... over a guitar. It is a plank of wood with strings on it but apparently no-one is allowed to say a wrong word about it, as if it's some kind of sacred artifact. There was no need to take it as massively personally as he did. :/

Sounds like my dad, he is exactly the same way with his guitars (and his studio equipment, for that matter). The worst time was when he called me in rage at 05.30 AM, barking that we had to take "our" cat* back right this instant, or bring him to a shelter, only because the poor cat tripped over a cable and pulled some equipment down to the floor... It was not even broken!

*The cat used to be ours, but my father adopted him four years prior to this happening, he fully acknowledges him as his cat. Until the cat breaks something of course.

I just did, haha!

The Cranberries - Dreaming My Dreams

This morning it almost felt like autumn.

I hope it's not rude to start complaing right upon my return, especially about such trivial things. But I have two things!

First, I hate, hate, HATE valerian! I have no words for how much I loathe that disgusting smell. I bought some tea in a super cute box (with a fricken sleepy barn owl, I mean, come on! ) that was supposed to bring me some peace of mind at night. It contains lavender, chamomile and valerian. I absolutely love the smell of the first two, so I was pretty much expecting that those would mask the vile smell of the valerian.

I WAS WRONG.

I took the foil off the box, and the stench nearly knocked me out. No matter where I put it (I even banned it from my house and stored in on the balcony for a couple of days) or what I do with it, it keeps stinking up my entire house!   I even threw the packaging out and put the bags away (because the bags themselves smell okay-ish, the box is worse), but the stench is still everywhere. I smells like an exceptionally gross pile of old and vile laundry.

Second complaint: I ordered an awesome Red Hot Chili Peppers watch, but my order was cancelled because they don't carry that model anymore. I was looking forward to it so much...

To be fair, I really like the entire set! If I have to choose I'll pick Floater, because she makes me think of a circus, which I don't really like.

I would love to have her. If she were human, she'd have the most gorgeous brown eyes.
