What Next?

Excuse me, do I have a curse stuck in my teeth?

Okay. Let's make a list of this summer's mishaps.

Not necessarily in order.

• Cracking plaster on the interior.
• Cat pee.
• Broken sewer line.
• C#2 needs a root canal. And braces. And extractions.
• Cat pee.
• Gaping hole in wall.
• Furniture and stuff everywhere to accommodate all interior work.
• Computer crashed, lost all of my old emails.
• Cat with bladder stone, poor Cupcake! That explains the cat pee!
• Hole in the ground along the foundation.
• Air conditioner only works in 70% of rooms.
• Plaster repair.
• Masonry crud and grit everywhere.
• Had to remove all furniture from bedroom, sleeping on sofa - for a couple of weeks!
• Plaster dust everywhere.
• Computer $@#% again!!!
• D. made bacon, and when I started the kettle for tea, the paper towel under the bacon caught fire.
• Smelled smoke, assumed it was paper towels.
• Heard firefighters in front of house, and discovered neighbor's tree had a branch on fire because it was pulling the electrical wires right next to our house!
• Utility pole was at a 30 degree angle, with smoke and sparks.
• Large pop! and lost electricity for the whole day.

...and the thing is...this is not even everything.

Oh, well.
