Sometimes I don't understand my sister.
She wants to visit me here in Germany and she wants to see roman and other excavations in Mainz and Cologne. That's fine and I'm really looking forward to seeing her and her boyfriend.
Yesterday I got her email: arriving time Friday 19:30 in Frankfurt and she wants to leave on Sunday at 14:15 (in Frankfurt, too).
And WHEN, dear, do you want to see Mainz AND Cologne? I mean... for me it's no problem to get up at 6 or so, but she usually sleeps until 10 or even longer. means: Sunday is dead.
She comes in February because that is during her holidays and she doesn't only have time over the weekend, then. And aaaaaaaaaaaah. Then she comes just for the weekend. 120 Euros for 1 day???
Well, it's her problem, not mine...
Next stupid family rant.
I want to meet mum in Munich. This time just for a weekend and yes, we will spend a lot of money on that, too, but it's different: I'm not allowed take a day off at the moment, so I can't stay there for longer. And I'm not a student any more. I have much more money than my sister has. And I want to see mum (or better: she NEEDS to see me, or else she'll drive me crazy) I booked a hotel in the city center. Was so proud of finding that place: completely new, 2-bed-room with shower and toilet for 30 Euro /person & night. I myself would have been happy with any kind of youth hostel, but ok: This is mum and she needs comfort.
Then she called me: She had seen the pictures of the bedrooms and it looked all clean and fine, but the beds were made of metal instead of wood and she doesn't want to sleep in a bed that reminds her of a hospital bed. And so she had booked another (better!) hotel for 60 Euro per night and person. Which is not much more expensive in her opinion. I don't have reason to complain. She invites me for that, but... isn't it a wee bit strange to pay twice the price just to have beds that are made of wood?
calm down, calm down. It's not my money...
Grrrrr...
