Sometimes, that’s not a bad thing, you know? For about a month now, I’ve been warning people that we were in for a harsh surprise… To make a long story short, Denmark and Québec have just about the same population. And since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve always been one month behind Vikingland for our covid numbers. At mid-November, they had an explosion of new cases, and I thought ”uh ohhh! Red flag!” I really wanted to be wrong, but yesterday, we had about 2700 new cases which was close to our record number of daily cases, and today, we’re over 3700 new ones. I hate to say it, and again, I hope I’m wrong, but I am pretty sure that Christmas and New Year’s Eve will get cancelled for the second year in a row. I guess we’ll see. (Geeez, I hope I’m wrong)
We have actually moved states and our home state is going downhill fast. We expect, as a result, to spend Christmas with our family for the first time in a few years.
Yes. Mostly, I prefer being right (obviously!), but there are some things where I truly wish I were wrong. Knowing my ex was going to end it two months before he did. Knowing it was coming out of his mouth at that exact moment when he didn’t even have a clue that was going to come out. Stuff like that.
Currently, there’s a feeling I’ve been having (not a gut feeling as much as a brain niggle) that I don’t like one bit, and I hope I’m wrong. I’ve been assured I’m wrong so many times that a sane person would have stopped having the feeling by now… but I can’t. It’s just there. And I just truly hope I’m wrong. But there’s that part of me that says “you’re trying to be optimistic and keep hope alive in all the wrong ways.” Time will tell. It always does.
I am often wrong. Sometimes I am right. When I am wrong I hope to be corrected so that I don’t remain in ignorance. Maybe there are times when I am right but I wish I was wrong – for example when I realized a colleague was stealing – but not many examples come to mind.

Oh yes, there have been those times!

😉 I don’t think I am the negative type in general, but when I do expect bad things coming, I cross everything, hoping to be wrong 😛

Yes. And it’s a wish that frequently comes true.

Sometimes, but I have a pretty good intuition

Good for you 🙂 I think I do too, but when it tells me that bad things are coming our way, I still hope to be off-vibe 😛

I think it would be a novel experience for me, but no, it would dent my ego and make me unhappy and an unhappy Trina is not a good thing

I would dearly like to be proven very wrong about the way I feel the USA is going.
