What's Up With Murphey?
Why is it that Murphey's Law kicks in as soon as you are into something important? This morning I woke up at 5 AM. Anxious to get the jump on marketing the house, I guess. Couldn't get back to sleep, so I washed walls in the basement for a couple of hours. When they are anxious men pace; women clean. Then, my burglar alarm system started to beep and the "trouble" light went on. Tried to use the phone, lots of static. People would phone me and get sent to my voice mail when I was home. Long story short - I thought I was going to be without my phone just at the time when my house was going on the market. Not the most enviable position to be in. The techie from MTS came and told me the phone in the computer room that was plugged into the computer was shorting out the whole system!
Okay, that was good - one problem solved. I just disconnected it and surprise - everything SEEMS to be working just fine! Off I went to sub at Burland School. Easy peasy. But it was the lull before the You-know.
Then as I was eating my dinner, a huge piece of a filling fell out of my mouth! Dr. Rick just repaired that filling three weeks ago! Luckily he can see me at nine tomorrow morning. But I will be missing part of the agents' open house. There will be agents looking over my house from 10:00 to 12:00 tomorrow morning.
Dare I go out and start my car tomorrow morning to get to the dentist? Or should I just take a cab? With the way my luck has been running, I will get halfway there and the car will just quit on me. Well, if you don't laugh, you'll cry. If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
More updates coming. Wish me luck - or just the non-theatrical, everyday equivalent of "break a leg." Oh, no, not that...!
Keep laughing.
The more I attempted to "be me" the more "me's" I found there were.I now see that "being me" means acknowledging all that I feel at the moment,and then taking responsibility for my actions by consciously choosing which level of my feelings I am going to respond to....
