Jinxed

For some reason, since the onset of the "car death" in December, there has been this bizarre cloud hanging over the household bringing mechanical meltdowns. Every week it seems like another obstacle to conquer. Individually they seem minor - but adding them up - it gets overwhelming.

We are now without a dryer. Guessing the belt is gone as it heats up but no longer spins the clothes to dry. I don't mind fixing it, but time has not been available to make it a repair priority. Little things like broken lamps, dimmer switches, the splash on the back door. A favorite glass shatters. Today it was snagging my favorite black winter coat on a fence while walking the dog. Gone! They just keep piling up.

I had been joking that Jeffrey has been breaking things. Which he hates. But I have had these phases before where it keeps coming at you and eventually it passes. Patience for now because there is not the time to deal with them.
