Breaking Even With Murphy

Or, “Balancing Yin with Yang” as the fish above seem to suggest. (I found the image at GetWallpaper.com – click on image to go there.) Sometimes life can be so excruciating! This past month is one of those times.

First, my significant other (hereafter to be identified as SO), loses time at work for being sick (oh, no).

Then I make some sales (yay!).

Then the car needs a brake job (oh, no!).

Then he gets a raise and I save some money by upgrading our internet service (yay – faster service for less money!).

Now, the car has a new problem and my SO may not be able to get it home without being towed. (oh, no, not again!)

whew!

And, people wonder why I have become so cynical. These are actual events in my life (not my imagination) and to me they seem to be a fair sampling of my normal reality.

I may actually be getting used to it, finally. Or, perhaps I am just shell shocked. I feel so calm right now.
