The ice cube machine is broken AGAIN, second time in 9 months. I paid for extra warranty but bloody hell that's annoying.
They'll say "Did you clean it regularly?" - YES MOFOS I DID.
Can I please expect the machine to last longer than 3 months or so, thankyouverymuch?

Please don't connect me trying to do a good job with me being "German".

Okay, all packaging for the new batch of earplugs is ordered, and I've done a lot of thinking and talking about how to simplify some moving parts in the process, so I'm quite excited to see how things will progress.

Remember how last night I was a bit twitchy over having to defend my sensory issues around sound against W, who just didn't get why I couldn't pull it together?
I didn't have a meltdown in the end, but I did have a bit of a cry because it was a bit much for me.
A few hours later, my sister called

Something can't be right. Are there no more buses from Aotea Square to KRd? Surely, seeing its the heart of the city...?
AT app suggests walking to Krd, 10min up the hill.

Sometimes W tries to argue about sensory issues I've got and I get so frustrated. I wish I could be resistant to noise, but I'm not, and sometimes the extractor fan will drive me BATSHIT when cooking. Don't force me to turn it on, because as a result there will be zero food. Meltdowns = not a fan.

Earplugs are go, and will be made in the next 3 days. It's kind of cool to know they'll be made for you specifically - they're such a sweet team.

Weihnachtsmarkt in Hennef. They put up those little huts that are literally just used for the time of the market, and local clubs get to have stalls as a way of fundraising. It's so lovely, they all decorate things. I miss that. Mulled wine. Sob.

Last night, a pipe burst for our washing machine, flooded the laundry and the washing machine, which blew the fuse, which is all perfectly timed for a certain someone having the first occasion in her life that means she has to do more laundry, ahem.

I get quite emotionally worked up over weird stuff - I don't think I outwardly show it, because I'm aware of how silly it is.
For example at work, I'm supposed to do a task as per a plan, but the plan is never there when I need to do the task, so instead of what's required I do 10 times the job.
