Double Eclipse

You may be wondering, like me, how life can so quickly spiral out of control. One minute you're sailing along oblivious, enjoying life, or at least trying to and the next you crash into a wall. Me? I didn't crash, exactly but my websites did. And then our washer and dryer broke. And then my car broke. And then my sites were up. then down. then up. then down. Until I became dizzy with the disarray. Sometimes these things are easier to handle than others. But when you're not feeling emotionally and physically at your best, crashing into these walls leaves you wondering what's the point of getting up. I must admit I've had my little fantasies this week of running away to Mexico, of leaving it all behind. Working day and night for over a year on something that can just disappear at whim, at someone else's whim, be it the universe's, my sucky web host company's(GATE.COM), it doesn't matter. It's a whim that isn't mine and I don't like it. It's not fair. I know, I know.. every time I say that I hear a voice that rings audibly, "LIFE IS NOT FAIR." But it should be. In my world, the world I envision, life is fair.. people that put the best out there get the best back - people with good intentions, who are loving and kind and try try try to do things right don't have to suffer failing websites! And their dogs live forever, without cloning too. But this is not the world we live in, I'm afraid, at least not for now. In the midst of this, I was supposed to water my friend's plants while she's away on vacation. I remembered late and then when I went to her house I couldn't find the key she left out for me. I imagined the plants, wilting miserably, calling out to me, even begging for that cool liquid relief that I could not give them. I felt horrible. I called her to find out where the stupid key was and she didn't answer. But she called me back today. I tell her it's been a shitty week and then she explains the two eclipses - the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse that we are experiencing this month is the cause of all the disaster. Two Eclipses creating so much chaos. I'm relieved, I guess, a little. But the sites are still having issues. I'm on my millionth call hold right now with the evil GATE, on hold for hours and hours and hours because their tech support sucks. I will make it my life's mission to make sure y'all know just how much. And so I'm writing to explain to you how precarious life can be, how easily influenced, if not by ourselves, by the winking of a sun and moon. And so here we are... I hope yours is going better than mine...
