Before last weekend I travelled by train to pick up my niece and to bring her to my aunt (her great aunt) to be looked after for 10 days. When I went up north, I chose to travel in normal car (train car) as it wasn't a busy time of the year I knew that I would be able to sleep in the bench. I had thought that the car would be a new one and have plug for the computer (or phone to be recharged). Unfortunately this was not the case, so I couldn't do any work in the morning as my battery died pretty soon. Also my phone didn't have much battery left either. I noticed that my jaw got a bit sore during the night. It was probably because the ride wasn't the smoothest and the bench wasn't that soft.
In the morning my sister and my niece picked me up from the train station. The pollen has made it really hard for my sister to breath. This is the first year that it has had this affect on her. We came up with few reasons why this might be. First of all this is the first time since many years, that there is no dog in the house. Because Solo was there, it might have helped her fight the pollen a bit more. Secondly it might be that there is mold in the house, although most of it has been taken care of (my brother in law has renovated the house quite a lot). My sister is allergic to the mold, so the pollen might just be the icing on the cake. Thirdly it might be something totally different. She is not having a runny nose or itchy eyes, like normally people have. There are many ways to react, but with pollen I think the most common is the flu symptoms and itchy eyes. Well we will learn more when she gets her doctors appointment.
Friday night my niece and I travelled back on a night train. This time I had booked us a compartment where we could sleep. She was a bit nervous at first, but fall asleep within an hour after we had left. In the morning, when I was waking her up, she was ready to start the day. It was a bit unfortunate that it was raining when we arrived to Riihimäki. My aunt (another one) was waiting for us in the station and from there we headed to Tervakoski (which is about 10-20 mins away depending on traffic). We went to Tervakoski, because my cousin had her Graduation party from vocational school. We were the first guests to arrive (for the obvious reason). First we checked out my aunts cats, which were huge success with my niece. She really loves cats and dogs.
We helped a bit with the arrangements (taste testing and making of choclate "hamburgers"). When my other aunt arrived my niece was so happy. You could hear her scream "the dog arrived!"... But yeah she was happy to see her great aunt as well. Then we were waiting for the third aunt (and her husband) and my dad to arrive. From those three I was only waiting to see my dad. I had planned that I would see those three now so I don't have to see them again in (hopefully) many years. Well I think I should have left the minute they arrived. I would have seen them and then I wouldn't have had to talk to them. It wasn't anything major that got under my skin. All was fine at first. But somehow because my niece was there, and we were watching my grandad's substandard film from the 70' from dvd, my aunts husband started to talk about something that I had said to his wife when I was a kid. I did remember the comment, but instead of admitting it I said to him that I didn't. I said that it is good that someone does and left it at that.
When you are a child you can make huge mistakes. It is just so unfortunate that there are people who like to rub your nose in them. When you are a child you believe in silly things like no-one is going to hurt you or use you as a pawn. So if you have missed it, I do not like this aunt and her husband. I did when I was a kid and I learned the hard way that they are not to be trusted. So where I want to forget, they don't seem to want. Luckily my friend had her Bday party so I could go there and keep my self busy with people around me so I hadn't any time to think.
