O man! The last few weeks have been heavy on shizzle hitting the fizzle. Ever since September 19th, things have been happening at an accelerated rate, heading straight on down to entropy.
- Lucas drops a BIG rock on his toe (he’s ok but with a missing toenail and a nasty hematoma)
- The computer dies. Again. For the third time this year (fortunately we back up, back up, back up and our computer guru, MC, has all our files on his computer)
- A component of the electric windows stops working on the German car
- The clothes washer stop running, which we fix
- Then the drum breaks
- Someone steals Wade’s briefcase from his work truck
- With the house keys inside
- And the car keys
- And two manuscripts and his idea book
- And a magazine with our address on it
- We have to get the house and two cars completely re-keyed
- The German car stops running (we get it fixed)
- But the stereo has given up the ghost
- The window on the Japanese truck stops working on the way up to LA (later it starts working again, but not til we’re in LA)
- Someone vandalizes (in a completely juvenile & impermanent way) the Japanese truck
- Two nights later they do it again
This series of unfortunate events has us wondering if we can get a break. In the grand scheme of life, none of the occurences is particularly earth-shattering. But it’s like digging out from underneath a landslide that keeps dumping down loads of loamy earth. You start to wonder when will this end? Plus we have all the finish work on the bathroom and life to keep on top of. Fortunately we have a good system down for keeping life at CasaWeX flowing, but it would be nice to get a break in the action.
