kayreIn the past week....
our microwave has twice quit, and then revived after poking and cussing
ordered a replacement microwave, which proved to be wired incorrectly
two GFI outlets in the kitchen (different circuit) tripped, and couldn't be reset, until 2 hours later when they could
Instant Pot overflowed the little drip cup and slopped broth all over the counter
I've spilled a 22 oz drink on carpet
I've spilled a small cup of sangria-- into my crochet bag
I broke a dulcimer string
my choir folder went walkabout, 24 hours before conducting a very complicated choir anthem (it's still missing)
Also I've got a Situation with a choir member.
Finally (I hope!) today it turned out that a fairly simple car repair will take two days, causing lots of complications because we're currently 3 people with 2 cars.
All this shortly before Christmas (and I have a wedding the Saturday after Christmas, and probably a funeral the next week)... I'm pretty much out of cope. But I picked hubby up from the car dealership, then took myself out for a comfort food lunch, and spent 4 hours at church catching up on things. Kid and I cooked a lovely dinner together (despite the unfortunate sangria), and now we're watching the new Benoit Blanc movie.
