One of those days... and nights.

Today has been a really shitty day. You know the kind when you just KNOW that you should´ve stayed in bed the whole day because EVERYTHING is going wrong. You know... like waking up at 04.30 due to a killing neck pain from an old whip lash injury which maked it impossible to go back to sleep again. Taking some pain killers which of course doesn´t work. Trying to log in to your bank via Internet just to find out that there´s an error which blocks your log-in pass word FOREVER. Going to the bank just to realize that you´ve left your Visa card back home (which means that you have to drive back home through the crazy traffic and get exhausted and sweaty from going 10 stairs up and 10 stairs down again). Asking your husband to help you out with the blocked pass word just to learn that the bank will not do that, instead they are insisting that you call them yourself from the other side of the world to in some mystical way prove over the phone that you´re really you. So you make that phone call to the cost of a smaller fortune, just to find out that it was a total waste of money as the bank refuses to assist you ANYWAY. And - this is the icing on the cake - driving home from office, wondering why there´s a big crowd of people on the corner just across the road from my building; just to find out that a guy was robbed and shot to death on the spot there an hour ago... I guess that his day turned out a lot worse than mine. But anyway - there you have my day.

But there has been some good things as well. Like having my friend Johan here this evening, helping me out with the curtains which has bothered me as I´m too short to put them up myself. Actually, it turned out that Johan had a really shitty day too, probably even worse than me, (not the least as he had to fix my curtains as well). So we agreed that it can´t be a coincidence. We came to the very logical conclusion that the powers in the universe must be in great disharmony right now, turning all positive into negative. We did our best to turn it back to positive again by ordering pizza, listened to christmas music from Johan´s lap top and talk about the upcoming holidays that we both look forward to.

I must also tell you one positive thing that makes me very happy; my friend Louise will arrive tomorrow! She´ll stay with me for four days, on her way back to Sweden from Bali where she has attended the climate conference. I just can´t wait to pick her up at the airport tomorrow. So, I must say that tomorrow looks a lot more promising than today. At least, I do hope so!

PS I´m adding this a couple of hours after I did the posting above. Janne just called to tell me that Polly Jean has hurt a leg, probably during playing with friends at the doggy day care. She has a deep wound, that will probably need some stitches. They are now on their way to an emergency appointment at one of the veterinary hospitals. It´s way past midnight here now, and I´m wide awake, worrying about my beloved dog. I guess this means that the Shitty Day has decided to work the night shift and turn into a Shitty Night. Damn. I´d better go to bed now before this gets any worse than it already is. So; good night.
