255

Saturday. This spring sucks. It’s cold and it rains and it’s very windy. My cousin wrote an e-mail asking if we were fine because she read there was a tornado in Germany. Of course, I didn’t know about it. I can only say that the wind this year is crazy, I never saw something like that before in my 18 years living in this area.
A couple of days ago, I wrote about the package I got from my friend. After I got the package, I sent a message to thank her and I explained why I didn’t dare to take the products.
First of all, I can’t tolerate caffeine. Think Speedy Gonzalez and a squirrel times five. That’s me if I drink one cup of coffee.
Second, my body has strange reactions to some stuff. One of them is power bars. I’m used to a diet quite low in protein, so if suddenly I take something with extra proteins, I feel like my heart is beating outside my chest. Imagine this: I feel like running!! (And trust me, that’s not a normal reaction if you know me, I’m a VERY slow moves person).
Other things that have strange reactions in me are anesthetics and sedatives (or anything that could give a soothing effect). I get hallucinations or I stop feeling my tongue and I can’t talk and only babble. Plus, I’m totally conscious but I can’t exteriorize it because it’s like I have a 20 seconds delay (from the brain to my mouth).

So I said to my friend: “I’m not sure it’s a good idea if I try the products while my kids are here because I don’t think they’d like to see mom in a particular state. I also don’t think it’s very smart to try them if I’m alone, since I have no idea how I’m going to react to them”.
This was her reply:

Ok… There is no way I want to get high when the man is here. NO WAY.
He saw my reactions more than once and he laughed his ass off (and we could say that he cared about me then). Now, I think that if I have a reaction and he’s there to see it, he’d film it and upload it on YouTube by the end of the day. (I know, we could ALL have fun with it, right??)

And send them back??? I didn’t get caught because of a miracle but I don’t think I can get away with it a second time.

I was wondering how the package got retained. How does customs work? Do they scan all the packages? Do they suspect some products are dangerous?
I needed some answers so I decided to inspect the envelope and see what I could find.

The first thing that caught my eye was the red sticker. I opened the translator to see what that meant.

CUSTOMS-SHIPMENT
This shipment may be extradited only to a customs office. Do not deliver to the recipient.
! Delivery Information

And in yellow:

Goods that do not meet the requirements of Articles 9 and 10 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community.

But, how could they know??

And then I turned around the package and saw:

She wrote EXACTLY what she put in the package. I bet she was high when she sent it!!
I hate lying to her but I’m not trying the products yet (or ever).

Another subject now. This past week I broke 2 records.

I can’t believe it!! Thank you!! Dear readers (and followers), you make my life so much happier!

And it was the first time I could have more than 9 different countries visiting in one day. I had 10!!

My 2nd son asks me every day: “How many countries mom?” And it was always: “Still less than 9”. On Thursday I shouted at him: “You won’t believe this, finally 10!!”.
And that makes a total of 89 countries (people from 89 different countries visited my blog!!).

Yay!!!
