Debbie Downer....
Yes. I live.... but I am afraid I am a bit of a Debbie DOWNER....
My fun family weekend? I was flat out sick the entire weekend... (but I understand the rest of the family had a good time...) I am still sick-ish. Not sick enough to stay home from work... but sick enough to whine about it to E V E R Y O N E... (sorry to all of you who have had to listen to me over the past few days....)
I am irritated with myself for procrastinating on a couple of things... ie...AMERICAN taxes... (yes, the ones due on April 15th.... ) finally got around to mailing them off today... after paying the $100 to Fed. EX them so they would be there by the 28th...
Hit me last night that I had forgotten to renew my residence/work permit here in Norway...
this time next week, I might be better know as the American in America... OOPS!
So Guess what I will be doing during my afternoon off tomorrow? .... waiting in line with 500 immigrants & the one case worker.... J O Y .... to see if I can stay in this lovely new home of mine...
Lets see, what else has irritated me since my last post....
Oh ya... my freshman homecoming date who I found on FaceBook ... does NOT want to be my friend. (OK he didn't say that, but I am PRETTY sure he hit the ignore button)
"Come on man... let it go... sorry I was a little BI-OTCH, but I was 14, & I didn't know your totally HOT friend was going to ask me too.....(my mother MADE me go with date #1... & maybe I wasn't the best date) but can't we just let it go & be friends?"
& WHY does this bother me 23 years later?
There have been a lot of little things bugging me over the past few days.... but I know what I am really upset about... I lost a classmate this past week... 37 years old... "healthy" guy who I had grown up with... We all ran around in the same crowd in Jr. High /High School... Although I hadn't talked to him in years... I still feel the loss... I think about his poor family... his pregnant wife & can't help but ask WHY? WHY, WHY, WHY??? He is the 4th person who has passed away since this summer... 3 unexpected.. I feel sick, & blessed at the same time.... I am so BLESSED, & THANKFUL that I have my hubby with me after his accident this summer...
So now that I have done my best to bring everyone DOWN.... S O R R Y....
I will try to be back tomorrow with BELLS on...
PS... I have had a number of people asking for information about moving to NORWAY... however you do not leave contact info....So I am NOT ignoring you (like my freshman homecoming date...) but I have no way to get ahold of you.... send me an email & I will be happy to respond..
Thinking positive thoughts for tomorrow... : )

And hey, if you add me to your facebook I'll accept your request! :)
Everyone has those days. And being sick is the pits! I was sick last weekend and wrote a crazy long email to Laural about my lifes woes. So don't feel bad, you deserve this day. And since my back is hurting terribly, I am going to join you.
But look up buttercup, the sun will be shining tomorrow--in norway or america :) just kidding! get that fixed fast!
Hope you feel better Tressa!
Hope you feel much better tomorrow.
Thank you for this post. I, myself, have been in a bit of a slump lately. (Understandibly so, lost my fav brother, gained 20#s because I've been eating my emotions, and just plain tired.) I thought your post was refreshing--it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who is down sometimes. And I think we're all entitled to feel down when things aren't fantastic. Sorry for your loss, and I, too, am bugged when people ignore my friend requests on Facebook.
Here's to a better tomorrow. :)I always enjoy reading your posts. Sorry for the novel...
Thanks again.
Hope your week gets better!! *hugs*
Love your posts....although sorry you've had some bad luck.
Leanna
I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry your not feeling 100%...sometimes I think I'd rather feel really,really bad enough so I could stay in bed until I felt better! Hope you feel better soon!
Also, sorry to hear about the recent deaths...it does make you feel bad for taking things for granted...
Don't be too hard on yourself...allow yourself to be whiney...we all need some poor me time.
I hope you are feeling better soon. It's never fun to be sick and feeling in the dumps in other areas too!
