Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb? -Prince, 1999
Ok, explain it to me like I'm a six-year-old. First I have the Move From Hell (trademark pending), then my poor old dog Rosie is all discombobulated by the changes in her life, then I get bronchitis, then we figure out a way to build a ramp to the second floor of the new house for Rosie to use and we're all happy and BOOM, the sewer line breaks. On a house I've lived in for a week.
WHO THE HELL DID I PISS OFF? And how do I get them to stop messing with me?
Which is all nothing, really, comapared to the world I suddenly emerged from my fog to live in again. North Korea may, or may not, have exploded a nuclear bomb. The Republicans knew Foley was diddling pages for years and did nothing (although Focus on the Family's James Dobson finds the whole thing v v amusing).
I may really just quietly turn off my internet connection and cable TV and live here with the dogs and my Xena: Warrior Princess DVD collection, letting my broken sewer line cause a catastrophic sinkhole in the street outside that will eventually suck me, the dogs, and our new house down into the bowels of the earth. Because apparently we're all doomed anyway.
That is all.
Umm. Yeah. Definitely doomed. Of course, I'm sure that with our remodel we will share your fate. Lots and lots of Xenafests are needed!
And some road trips.
And ... stuff I haven't even thought of yet!

I can empathize... we moved in June, and over the past month or two we had a leak in the kitchen that ultimately forced us to replace the kitchen floor, one of our cats got out and hasn't been seen since, we're having lots of personal and financial issues, and there's probably more that I can't remember at present. Something that occurred to me is that I forgot to smudge the house before we moved in. I don't consider myself superstitious or invested in traditional/New Age remedies, but... sometimes I can't help but wonder.
So, long story short, maybe you might try smudging your house, if you haven't already? Just a random thought from a random person... ;)
Take care!
