Every time I try to organize something big, I feel like the universe is determined to make sure I can’t accomplish my goals.
- Maybe I will get close to pulling off the big feat; but somehow things will take a disappointing turn shortly into my venture.
It could be a big reveal party at work, and the entire project will get cancelled hours before the soiree begins. Or maybe I try to surprise my husband, and get incredibly close to pulling off the whole shebang, but then he winds up deathly ill with a stomach flu when the guests are supposed to be arriving. Or, perhaps I just try to throw my step son a little birthday party, and the entire HVAC system blows up in my face while the caterers are setting up. Yeah, that’s what happened most recently. I had everything planned so perfectly, and the house was incredibly clean and fresh feeling. The AC system was chugging away as always, pumping tons of cool air through our many air vents. I was feeling prepared for the big event and made sure to bump the AC down a few extra notches as the caterers were letting all the hot summer air inside. I definitely didn’t want the indoor air temperature to get out of hand and find myself unable to keep up with the cool air demands after that! What a joke. At some point I heard a terrible sound coming from the AC unit outside and went out to poke around at the cooling device. About two seconds later, the whole AC unit burst into flames, shooting black soot out everywhere. Needless to say, the party didn’t go so smoothly after the emergency HVAC technician was called and I was in the emergency room for first degree burns,
