Can we stop now, please?

I haven't updated in a while, mostly because I've been under a curse and I'm afraid to talk out loud about it. If there's anyone out there who knows how to banish demons and evil spirits, please light a white candle for me, okay? Cause it's been bad.

How bad?

Remember that new Kia Spectra I bought? The 2006, with cruise control and a CD player and that glorious new car smell?

On Monday, the car was rear-ended while I was stopped at a traffic light. I spent the evening in OB triage. We're all fine, but the Spectra is totaled. The week before school. Sigh.

And then the Corolla got a flat tire and a cracked lugnut. And then our cat got diagnosed with cancer. And then we got the new apartment, but we have no furniture so we went to finance some and got denied. And then the deluge.

But I'm fine, and the family is fine, and we have two great jobs and an awesome new apartment. So we'll be sleeping on an air mattress -- so what! And the cat seems to be hanging in there, so maybe it's not what the vet thinks. Anyway, I'll think about it tomorrow. I can't think about it now. I'll go crazy if I do.

Tomorrow is another day.

C-
Don't panic, but I can't call right now. We are moving tonight into the new place, and I'll be at work all day tomorrow. Have an OB appt, then to the car dealership to arrange new method of transportation. Also have to get your sister's sheet music. School starts Wed. My classroom is amazing, but I don't know what I'm teaching yet. Do you think I could have them sit and stare at my quote-filled walls?

I will be in touch soon. I am really okay -- I promise.

Hi, I am a new reader here. But I like to add realism. These people are Educators of Canadians. They have recently received a new car that is powered on love, socialism and 80's music. They live in a family compound like the Kennedy’s. Ma, Pa Grandma and a horse named McGraw. Sorry, he lives at the Step-in Stone to a Broken Bone annex. I do not wish to complain or revel my sources, but road toll alone to their "fancy corner of paradise is $2,000.00". Only you can help rid “Merica” of these types.
