It´s Sunday and I made it thru this week! YEEEEH (cheering and clapping).
To be honest, when I thought of this week last Sunday I had my doubts about making it thru...
Why was that you might ask?
Well, it has been my busiest week EVER since I started working, I mean out of breath without running busy at work...Keeping the head cold and the heart steaming hot for all the dear poor families I work with...I was struck (?) to tears a few times and I was angry enough to beat somebody up, I was relieved beyond belief and even happy... oh yes and I was very effective, so all in all, I hope things will calm down some, but if not I know I can handle it...
The experience of this week, makes next week much more easy to face...without the experience, I would have felt samesame as last Sunday!!!
AH AND I am bringing my magic recorder to work tomorrow (was gonna bring my magic wand, but think I left it in vancouver? I can´t find here anyways) thinking it might work wonders, getting that out in a difficult meeting or phonecall and solve everything without further interferance...yesyes, you might laugh, but one never knows what a little magic melody will do:)
a good evening to you:)

SUNSHINE SUNDAY
it´s sunday, the radio church service is buzzing in the background and I am looking out the window at blue sky, sun and snow.
It´s a lovely morning, I started it off by eating an apple and drinking a lot of water while reading the Sunday news paper in bed, yah. My throat was aching and I got scared of getting sick, so I thought, apple, water, good idea:) My throat is fine now so it helped or something:)
To make you jealous I gotta tell you after the apple and half the news paper I made pancakes, perfect pancakes. Not perfect pancakes as in the amazing receipe I have from Tami and Scott...But perfect as in they just turned out that way without a receipe. Ah! I used plain yogurt and that was a good idea, they were soft and yummy a real "danish" pancake as my long lost grandmother would make them. DELICIOUS.
Friday I put together some moving boxes but didn´t put anything in them, this morning I filled one of them with the clothes and books I have for the thift store. That´s it, I don´t feel like packing or sorting at all. I might hit a problem soon, cause I might say yes to an appartment tomorrow and if I do so, I really seriuosly need to start packing. Oh well:) I wount let that thought ruin this Sunday morning.
I am going to visit my good friend and her sweet family for afternoon coffee, so the day will just get better and better.
I hope you will have a lovely Sunday aswell.

decisions decisions and cold busses
aw yes let be entertain you with another bus complaint...
i have not yet told you out of europe readers, but denmark is having an icewinter, it´s been 23 years since we had one long like this. it does seem never ending, today it snowed again and well snow doesn´t really excite me anymore. another thing that comes with icewinter is all the clothes i have to put on every day to keep warm. i got used to it and don´t mind as long as i don´t get cold.
one place where i get cold in on the bus....it´s jepardy, some mornings the bus is a sauna and i have to strip down, off with coat off with sweater and scarf...some mornings it´s cold inside the bus, i realize that usually after 20 min on the bus and i have sometimes been asking the busdriver if it is possible for him to turn on some more heat....i have gotten different answers but they melt down to the same thing, sorry can´t get warmer. so i freeze...it´s sucks and it has happend enough times that i am actually going to write a complaint to the company that runs the busses. it´s sucks freezing for an hour in the morning before 8am....a time where i wish i was still under my warm and comfy comforter.
so i have finally reached a point in time at work where i am going to take some kids from their parents and place them in a fosterhome...actually in an institution this first time...there are so many things i have to decide, so many things to remember and on top of that it is really emotional...these little lives, suddenly i am the one who is going to decide where they are best off living...it is terrifying and yet i know i am going to feel such a relief and joy once they are in place...it might be a few more months before the feeling will come, oh but they will get excellent care the place they are going, hopefully they will be able to receive it. every little child deserves and needs someone who loves them in an appropiate and healthy way.

some people...
...sing really well at weddings, clean toilets really well, drive really well in snow and icy weather...i read out loud really well in the cathedral here in odense.
every first friday night of the month i sing at the night church at the cathedral. It´s a Taizé devotion, with meditative songs, prayers and scriptures read out loud and silence. well i read the prayers and i do it well....in a huge room like the cathedral you gotta be careful not to read to fast or the words are "swallowed" by the room. it´s fun to have your voice fill a huge room like that and my fellow singers always compliment me on my reading, it´s wonderful with some affirmation:)
...this week is O-V-E-R, i gotta sleep and be ready for the weekend.

ways of cooping with work, oh and i cooked again
....we have a very sarcastic and extreme sort of humor at work when the lives we deal with overwhelms us. One time at lunch when claiming to wanna burn the whole island to get rid of the issues, we found out one of our secretaries does not really get the humor OR does not think it´s very funny....she lives on the island so i guess she didn´t want her house to be burnt down...
few weeks ago, me and a collegee decided we needed some more ministers in the parlament ( i might be using the words and the meaning of them wrong here...don´t forget, english IS my second language;))...first of all we badly need a minister of prevention and also we need an additional minister of economy. few weeks ago we were overwhelmed with pregnant teenagers with huge social problems...there need to be a law to prevent this from happening....our plan is to sneak into the houses of all teens and young women from age 15-25 and shoot a "p-staff" into their arm.
we need to save a lot of money in our department millions of danish kroner...but we need the money to help the kids best way possible, therefore the plan is that the goverment with this new minister of economy will open their eyes to our little island´s great need and send them forth all those moneys, YAH!!
the newest idea on the board on solving the problems quickly is building a huge wall to prevent anybody to get to the island and then we empthy the island completely....no people, no problem:)
aYah, we have fun in our own odd and ruff way.
i cooked dinner again tonight, i am so proud...it was my long day today, so strange why it´s always on my long day at work i end up cooking a good meal....i cooked a very traditional vegetable soup and ha it with garlic bread, delicious:)
