The last two weeks have taken a toll on my cash flow. They say bad things come in threes and I’ve cycled through that at least a couple times now. Each time something decides to quit working it’s between $100 and $250 to replace — and then Mother Nature decided to pile on more.
Remember when I talked about having no power for hours this week?
I posted about how we didn’t have damage from Tuesday’s storm but were without power for hours. I wasn’t aware until yesterday that I was the cause of that outage!
After paying Fluff to clean up 2 fallen trees last week, the storm uprooted another tree in almost the same exact place. I wasn’t aware the tree had fallen across the power lines causing everyone on this road’s electric to go off.
REMC cut the top off releasing it from the lines that they then repaired. Fluff is coming back and I’ll hemorrhage some more money.
Other than a bajillion set-backs, all is right in my world.
Now you know: In Japan, there are services where you can rent a person to listen to you talk about your problems, no advice or judgment given. It’s part of Japan’s booming ‘rent-a-friend’ industry and is meant to help people who need someone to talk to without any strings attached.
