"They" Say Bad Things Come In Threes
Well, how about fours and fives??? Seriously, my dear readers, how much bad luck can one person experience in the course of a week and its only wednesday. Have I done something bad? Honestly, I can't think of anything. If anything I have been more giving of my time, my love, and my knowledge and I get this for it?
So, let's run down my list of bad things which are more than three...more like five bad things. Basically my list of bad things that come in fives are in three distinct categories: our rental house, my online shopping experiences, and our son's biopsy results.
1.) Our water pipe busted in our bathroom and our shower has yet to be fixed by our landlord's repair person. We have a wall missing in our shower, and it smells. Nice! The bad part about this is that we will be having lots of family visiting this weekend because my husband graduates grad school. I'm sure that will deter anyone from wanting to stay overnight.
2.) I received my first online Christmas order in the mail. A gift was missing. Enough said.
3.) I received my second online Christmas order in the mail. Another gift was missing. Do people no longer communicate? How about asking me if I want a replacement or tell me something is out of stock instead of just not include it. Do these companies not know that the majority of our purchases are Christmas gifts?
4.) The BIG ONE: We got our 2 year old son's biopsy results from his endoscopy and he has Eosinophilic esophagitis disorder. This is a rare disorder where an allergic reaction to foods occurrs in the esophagus. Alot of research is lacking on this rare disorder and there is no cure. He goes for more testing in January. I know in the bigger scheme of things this by far outweighs my online shopping problems in importance. And, really, I should be thankful that after 2 years we have finally gotten an answer and also thankful that it's not something worse so just bear with me as I complain, please?
5.) I received a part of my third online Christmas order in the mail this morning and I got the wrong kid on a photo gift. You have got to be kidding me? I received someone else's photo gift. So, who's got my kid's photo on a gift out there? I spent a half hour on the phone with this open-24-hour-store-that-we-all-know-to-well for them to tell me they are having technical problems and cannot access my account. And, you know what I havent even gotten half of my order which are Christmas photo gifts for most of my family specifically my Mother and Mother-in-law. What if they screw these up too? I am at a loss as to what to do but don't you think they owe me atleast free expedited shipping on what THEY messed up? It was their mistake. And, not only is it a mistake but a breach in someone's privacy. I have someone else's kid's photo on a gift here and it's freaking me out knowing that someone else most likely has mine. Anyone want to fess up here? Ideas on what I should do? I was very polite, even laughing, when I first talked to them but I don't think I'll be that nice when I call back and I know it's not the person's fault that I am talking to but still I'm having some major issues with this.
Ok, so that's my bad things come in fives except that one of those was resolved recently, #2. Luckily, I have found a wonderul mom-owned online jewelry store that cares about her customers and I am so very satisfied with her service and quick help. So I guess I am really down to four bad things and number five is probably the rest of my order from that store that starts with a W. Something's gotta give here. Something great is coming my way, right?

Oh no. I am so sorry to hear about all your bad things.
But mostly about your son's diagnosis. I hope that after all the tests are said and done you have all the information you need.
Sending big virtual hugs.
Oh no what a horrible day!! Hope things get better really really soon! I totally know the feeling lately though!
Yuck! I hate days like that. It'll get better. You're building up some good karma.
Oh my, that's a lot of crap to deal with in one day! I hope everything with your son goes well :)
Sometimes you just have to accept a storm to be able to see the rainbow...you will have an amazing Christmas!

Yes, there must be some really good things coming your way.
Online shopping is really convenient, but often frustrating - especially this time of year. I just recvd a chemistry set for my son and they literally crushed the box in the center to fit it into a shipping carton. ?????
Best wishes for your son and family. I hope things work out OK.
So sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis.
On the rental/landlord situation, in most states you can have an issue repaired (after being ignored by said landlord), and send them the bill. If they try to do anything (say, evict you), they legally can't. Not saying it makes living with your landlord any easier, but they can't do anything. Technically. (You can't be evicted until you have a court hearing.)
