Karma? Is A Bitch.
Eden wanted to see how the Universe paid me back for my random act of kindness last week. Well, let’s see….
So far my camera has given up the ghost, requiring a $300 replacement, which probably won’t happen until after I receive a tax refund cheque that is likely going to be much smaller than I’m used to.
My DVD player is on strike. At first I thought it was just protesting the 473rd viewing of the Leapfrog Letter Factory, but when it wouldn’t play Firefly either, I knew something was up. No idea what; I’m still waiting for it to bring a list of demands to the bargaining table.
My daycare bill this period is 2/3 of my take home pay. And my next paycheque will only be for 2 days. Nevertheless, I’ve been cut off of government assistance because I make too much money now. I’ve not received actual money from the government for months, but it was nice to know the safety net was there (along with the dental and drug benefits) if I needed it.
My glasses, which I love, are broken, and the manufacturer doesn’t make them anymore. So, even if I could afford to replace them, I can’t replace them.
And I desperately need a haircut. Which I also can’t afford right now. So I’m stuck with mom hair. Too long bangs held back by a hairband, bottom flipping in opposite directions mom hair.
Fabulous. I think I want my $10 back.
