So what happened to.....

my car antennae when the garage door came DOWN on me and Jiminy Cricket? W-e-l-l, it didn't make a clean break.  It clung there for a week, until the night I came out of a meeting, late.  It was pitch dark and ONLY -25 degrees Celsius, when I found the antennae flopped down on my windshield.  I had no choice but to break it off, since my view was obstructed.  I had to twist it, like you would twist a green twig to break it off a branch.  I pitched the antennae in the back seat, thoroughly disgusted. When I went to the dealership the next day, waving the broken antennae around, I was told that I could have simply unscrewed it from the base. Like I had any idea! I haven't read the 350 page manual yet.  Since I never received one with the purchase of the car, and refused to pay $47 for one, I had the manual downloaded from the Internet, thanks to my awesome daughter-in-law.  This monster document has been sitting on my desk for the last month, awaiting hole punching and a binder. I WILL get around to it.  There are just too many other fires I seem to keep having to put out.

that job interview ?  I didn't get the job!  That means there is something better waiting for me around the corner, I take it.  You have to roll with the punches. In the meantime, I get to spend at least three days a week with 5 to 10 year old kids, laughing, having fun and learning! How lucky am I?

the offer on the house?  Fell through, but not before the potential buyers tried everything possible to get it for next to nothing, INCLUDING calling me personally after we had rejected their offer.   FURTHER to that, they had their agent send our agent another pie-in-the-sky offer that made no sense.  It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to get their own way, and for THE cheapest price possible. As I keep saying, nothing is ever simple when it comes to yours truly. We couldn't have just had a great, simple, cut-and-dry offer and acceptance kind of deal. Ho hum! That would have been way TOO boring, don't you think?

my new Wifi connection, done the morning I had an inch of water in my basement? W-e-l-l- ..... no surprise there. My Wifi is sketchy at best. I keep running around the apartment, double checking plugs, cords and whatnot because the troubleshooter keeps telling me my Wifi is disabled. DISABLED alright! After spending an hour and a half on Chat with Rogers, they have decided to send another technie out to the apartment, because my signal is weak.  Yup! Could it have something to do with all these concrete walls?  Nothing can ever get done right from the get-go, with me. Am I repeating myself when I say I have this electro-magnetic fieldl around me, or IN me, that just SCREWS up technology?

Have I forgotten anymore hanging threads in my life?  There are OTHER misadventures, but I can't blog about them.  I must protect the identity of the innocent and THOSE who would recognize themselves in my anecdotes. LOL

Hey, January is over.  Alleluia! The days are getting longer.  Life is good... in spite of ALL my misadventures.  Or maybe BECAUSE of them?  Who knows? Qui le sait? ¿Quién sabe?

PS: I wasn't able to attend mass these past two Sundays.  I hope the Guy Up Above is still watching out for me.
