I suck.
Posted by Adrenalynn on 25 June 2011
This is where I apologize profusely for the lack of updates recently, to which you think: “huh, I really hadn’t noticed”; to which I say: “seriously?!”; to which you reply: “yeah, SERIOUSLY”; and I start to wonder if the world does not revolve around me after all.
I thought you’d might like to know that I moved. Twice. And started a new job. And got a hair cut. And bought a new car. Two cars, to be exact. Not necessarily in that order.
Moving is stressful and exhausting under normal circumstances. When you add two small kids, it’s worse. When you discover you can’t move into your new apartment because the guy living there refuses to move out, it’s panic-inducing. I’m sure there’s a sad story behind why he still wouldn’t leave months after he’d been kicked out, but I can’t find it in myself to care. I just care about the fact that we were homeless for over two weeks. Thankfully we have good friends who helped us find a place to stay temporarily, not even knowing when we would be able to leave. Unfortunately, that place was not meant for a family of four. And all their boxes.
Yes, that space between all our clothes and the dining table is the area our kids had to play on. We finally got to move in right after the Norwegian National holiday on May 17th, what we here in Norway like to call May 17th.
I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful it is to wake up to this every morning instead of wondering which box labeled kitchen has my coffee cups.

I haven’t been over to see you for ages. Glad I saw your link on twitter as I get to see your gorgeous new place!
Trish! Thanks for coming by, dear!! So good to “see” you
You certainly do not suck!! You’re fab!
I’m glad the unexpected and unwanted excitement and
adventure is behind you and I love the look of your
new place.
When will we see the haircut??
Hi Dave! Thank you for coming by and for the nice words! I’m so glad to see you around a bit more these days
You know me; there’s probably a bathroom photo right around the corner!
I did notice, my friend. And you don’t suck.
That new place was worth waiting for, I think. Did the police
have to come and extricate that guy???
Let’s see the haircut.
Lynn; thank you! You are so lovely. Yes, they had to come extricate him, after a good run in the legal system… kicking people out is difficult! I guess I have to snap a photo of my head sooner rather than later, eh? Thank you for coming by, my friend.
Congrats with a new place:)
Can’t wait to see the new place and the haircut:)
Hi Ingalill; thank you! Look forward to seeing you again – soon I hope?!
That new place is lovely.
So my question that I ask myself when I go through things like this is: what is it that I learned from this experience-how has it positively contributed to me?
Hugs
Hi Susie! Thanks for the wise words. What a great way to look at life. You are a gem!
Cool pink guitar!! Do you play???
And – enjoy the new place…it’s sweet! (hmmm…just like you!) (you knew that, though!!!)
It sounds like you’re over the hump and back on your saddle again.
Gratulera med nytt sted å bo=)
Så nå er det vel berre å invitera seg sjølv opp på kaffi=D
Maybe you suck (what? I’m new here, I’m not gonna contradict
)… but you know what else? You’re pretty funny!
you
And think of it this way: it’s all looking bright, now!
You’re obviously looking forward to a positive stage in life. Enjoy it!
PS – you need to fix this comment box, it’s way too wide and us commentators can’t see half of the
second half of the line when we’re typing
Hi Pedro! Thanks for bringing a little life to my quiet space. And for thinking I’m funny! I’ll get that comment box sorted – can you believe you’re the first person to mention it?! It’s like people just don’t care!
Hi! Well, sometimes it’s not that people don’t care… it’s
more like they don’t want to sound inconvenient/unpleasant.
Like when there’s a chunk of spinach stuck between your teeth,
and no one can seem to just tell you about it because they
don’t want to be rude, but they end up being uncaring because
they didn’t point out the obvious.
What’s up with that, really?
Us civilized humans are way too complicated for our own good,
sometimes!
PS – I had similar comment box issues in my blog recently.
In case you need a pointer, look up like this parameter
in your stylesheet.css, on the theme editor:
textarea#comment
then edit width and height according to your preference. Go!
All the best,
Pedro
