Friday the 13th

I'm superstitious about some things, but Friday the 13th? Not so much. But I have to say that today--and this week--might be testing that. This week it feels like everything is breaking. I broke the shower head on Monday. My work computer crashed on Wednesday and it turns out that although it is just barely over a year old (just long enough to be out of warranty, of course), it needs a new hard drive. And this afternoon I came home to find water on the floor in the downstairs hallway--looked up to see a big water stain on the ceiling. So water is either seeping in from the front porch roof (which has a broken "yankee gutter" resulting in lots of water damage to the porch roof and is due to be repaired next week) or from the upstairs bathroom--there are no discernible leaks, but the wet ceiling is right under the bathtub, which I take as a bad sign.

Ah, I hope this doesn't become a pattern!

I hadn't even thought about today being the Friday the 13th. No wonder my computer is acting up again!

What jo(e) said.

So did you scream out "Noooooooo!!!!!" when the computer died and when you saw the water damage? Holding your face with your mouth agape? I would have (and have in the past). Praying for the rapid repair of all that ails at your house!

Actually, I said something much stronger, especially when the computer died!
