Here We Go Again



For the last month or so, I've had all kinds of problems with electric things.
My computer crashed, my iPod wouldn't turn on, my air conditioner went on the fritz, light bulbs were blowing out, and even my watch battery died.
Just as I thought I was out of the woods, yesterday my washing machine stopped spinning. I was left with a tub filled with wet black clothes and a lot of water to bail.
It's not an old washer, per se, it's just a normal looking, brand name machine that had no business going out.
Remember the old time washers that were made of steel, had three moving parts and never broke? Maybe I oughtta get one of those.
I can understand that bad luck can come in threes, but I'm hoping multiples of threes is not the case.
Are we in Mercury retrograde or something?
