year of hell

[pxr5]

This has been a lousy year (from last june....)


In roughly chronologic order of things that have sucked hard this year:

1. lightning strike about 1 yr ago, frying all of our electronics gear, and knocking a pair of holes in our ceiling.  Out lots of funds due to insurance not fully paying up.
2. summer of cluster headaches, causing my vacation to be absolute crap.
   
3. 6 months of of heavy constant bleeding causing me to become anemic.
   
4. cosmicdolphin gets offered a job, which they then revoke.
   
5. Desperately ill over winter vacation, causing that vacation to be mostly crap.
   
6. car accident #1: rear ended by a student on way into work, out deductible.
   
7. work reorg, much chaos
   
8. unstable lighting situation in apartment.  Bulbs now have habit of exploding all over the floor.
   
9. car accident #2: car totalled, self injured.
   
10. Our collective blood pressure has been rising steadily (oddly cosmicdolphin and I seem to be going up at same rate.)
    
11. week of frustration trying to get a car.
    
12. car acquired, but drove car 1 day, and now have huge crack in windshield. (damn truck drivers)
    
13. laptop dying
    
14. tivo now refusing to dial out, thus rendering it fairly useless.
    

Could I please ask for a couple of things to go my way?  Things I'd really really really like to happen this year:

1. cosmicdolphin getting his green card.
2. cosmicdolphin getting a good job
   
3. NO MORE ACCIDENTS!
   
4. stabilized work situation
   
5. good vacations
   
6. no more illnesses, particularly weird ones with no cures.
   
7. fully working electronics
   
8. no more exploding things (lighting, bulbs, whatever) in apartment.
   
9. not have to move apartments.
   

sigh.  sorry for the whine, but it's been a hell of a year.
