These days everything seems to be adding up again. Starting with very annoying problems with work, which will again have quite a negative impact on my current income situation and which somehow seem to accumulate. Unfortunately, in this case too I have virtually no influence on a turnaround into the positive and can only hope that one day the wind will shift again. It is not the first time this year that I am confronted with such a situation, and I can only look forward to better days.
Then it was the little ones who were stiring up the action. The daily temperature check once again showed results way up on the chart, far beyond the range in which we would dare to leave the house. When the fever reaches 40 degrees, I start to sweat too, even though my temperature has fortunately remained in the normal range. But especially on weekends, when most doctors are closed, you quickly start to make the wildest emergency plans and in the evening you start to think about whether you should have your child examined. Fortunately, our strategy seems to have worked out, and keeping calm was the right decision, at least until now. The next morning things often look quite different, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is exactly how it will continue.
In addition, my car broke down and suddenly wouldn't start anymore. Of course, this kind of fun only happens when you're out of the house, so in the evening I was more than just glad to have made it back to my own parking lot. Especially on the weekend such a situation could turn out into a nightmare, but in the end on Sunday we were able to find a solution for this problem. Fortunately, it was not the starter or the generator, but "only" the battery, which we then got changed easier than I originally thought. After all, it's all a question of money, which in this case too was quickly changing hands. Now I hope that the battery was really the cause of the trouble and I won't have a rude awakening in the next few days.
Let's see how it continues now. I can surely do without all these surprises, but somehow this year there are a lot of them. Not that I would demonize this year, as there were also a lot of sunny days for us. But nevertheless, somethings seems to be deeply wrong, which stops us fro moving any further. Recently it feels that I am just busy with fixing all those little troubles without exactly making any progress. How grateful I would be for some break and the prospect that our efforts will finally bear fruit again...
