Today, I had to cancel my vacation in Norway, which I had been planning for 2 months and had cried and stressed over all that time because this was the first vacation I'd ever planned myself. Now YouTube won't stop showing me ads about visiting Norway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I accidentally deleted my YouTube account because I was trying to eliminate distractions from school. My dumb self eventually realized all I had to do was stop uploading, and return to it during my vacation. FML
Today, all I wanted was to go on a vacation in April. I've been asking my husband since last April and he begrudgingly booked everything last minute a month before. Now he's cancelled everything he booked due to his dad being sick. I was OK with it, but now I've got no vacations for this year. FML
Today, I found out I lost a promotion intended for me because I was on planned vacation. FML
Today, the cruise that I was looking forward to for over a year was cancelled due to the coronavirus. Trying to salvage what was left of my vacation, I booked a hotel for a few days near a local beach. They just announced that the beach was closed and the hotel is refusing to refund my money. FML
Today, I was supposed to be on my way to Hawaii for a long-planned family vacation, but I had an anxiety attack that I couldn't explain. Now I'm lying in bed and crying, and my phone is blowing up with texts and calls. FML
Today, I have to reschedule the vacation I had planned for eight months because I have the flu, and feel too sick to go and enjoy myself at a waterpark. This vacation is the only thing that's kept me sane these last two months. FML
Today, the rearranged meeting, for which I was instructed by my boss to cancel my holiday for, got cancelled. FML
Today, working in PR, I've been unable to attend 2 out of 3 of my booked tours. That "non-refundable, zero excuses" policy with the billion dollar online activities provider has me out $400. So, instead of enjoying what should be a beautiful PR birthday trip, I'm online now scheduling returns of clothes and jewelry to cover the losses. FML
Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML
Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML

I am very sorry, that would be discouraging! Way to go on planning the trip, and it sounds like you are the responsible type, so I think you deserve kudos for that. Your rest and leisure is important and I hope you can vacation relatively soon, beit in Norway or somewhere else!

There is at least one thing you can instantly fix: kill the cookies!

Norway, José! Just go to IKEA. Sweden is right next to Norway, so it's probably pretty close to being the same, I suppose. Mmmm, lingonberries! Pining for the fjords? Beautiful plumage!

What's that going to do? I kill lots of cookies and I still get lots of ads. I'm killing a lot of ginger snaps now, but when Girl Scout season comes around, it's a cookie massacre over here! Yet, the ads keep coming...

What's that going to do? His browser will forget about Norway, and the ads won't be that heartbreaking anymore.

As a norwegian, I'm sorry to hear that! And you are very welcome at a later date!
