I think the universe was out to get me! What did I do to make it so mad?
I wake up Tue. night sweating only to find my air had went out. I was hoping the coil was just froze up. That's easy to fix! So I check on it Wednesday morning. That's not the problem. The fan motor is not coming on. It's trying too, but just can't make it, feels very hot. So I got a guy coming to look at it.
Yesterday afternoon, I notice an odd smell coming from my car. I get home and look under the hood. My radiator has a crack in it! My coolant container is also out of water. So after letting my car cool off, I fill the container with water. After driving to work this morning and out for lunch, I check the water level. Half full now. I'll have to keep an eye on it until I get it replaced. It looks simple to replace. Should I even attempt? I'd like to try. I'll think on this.
I reach into my mailbox and get my water bill. It's $90! When did water get so expensive. Thats over double, almost triple the amount it normally is! Our town did switch from the city water to county water or something like that, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. I check with my neighbor, his water bill didn't go up like that. I go to my meter down by the road. It's not running., which leads me to the conclusion that I do not have a leak, if it did my meter would be running. I must call those wallet draining, money guzzling people today and find out why they want to take all of my hard earned money. Why is their water better than the other water I was getting? Tastes the same to me.
Okay, universe what do you have for me now? I shouldn't said that. It had more coming. My ex-wife in law is coming for a visit. That would be my husbands ex-wife. I have no idea why I call her that, I just do. Since she lives in North Carolina and we live in Alabama, she wants to see where we live. Find out what kind of red neck neighbor-hood we got her daughter living in. I guess that's okay. I would probably want to do the same thing if the situation were reversed. Just not looking forward to that visit. She should be here Monday, her and her yuppified husband that is our dads age. Whatever works for ya, I guess.
I will not push my luck anymore or tempt fate my asking the universe, mother earth or whomever it is that is punishing me what else they got for me, cause I bet they could keep it coming. Instead I will go home today and water my elephant ears, maybe plant something new, trim my shrubbery, smile at someone, be kind to others and ask forgiveness.
Tomorrow will be a better day, right?

sometimes there are days when you just feel like turning around and showing the universe the middle finger - i have had days like that.But they are few and far between though,so dont stress about it.The old saying is somtimes true - bad luck comes in THREE - your aircon,your radiator and your water..... -

sounds like you got a cosmic mugging! Yikes! So sorry to hear that. I know the feeling and it isn't warm and fuzzy. Keep your head down and eventually it will pass. With any luck it will swing just as far in the other direction as it did this direction. :) -

Sounds like life has been handing you a jumble full of crap lately. Keep with the attitude that tomorrow will be better, you'll be more open to seeing the good things and overlooking any of the negative. I hope that visit with the ex-wife in law goes better than expected, good luck! Oh and hope you get your car fixed too, I know that stuff can be tricky sometimes, and a royal pain in the ass. -

I'm trying to track the shit train. It started in California last week. Hit me earlier this week and traveled south to you. Looks like mother nature is taking quite a trip. She'll move on through to another pool soul. Don't worry, Mother Nature doesn't hate you, every one who works for her does though. Joking. *Hugs* -
