Here's a story to make you feel better about YOUR OWN life...

When was the last time that you had a spate of things go COMICALLY WRONG??? Wrong on a level that it seemed like the intentional intervention of an almighty being (having his jollies with a mortal) might be the explanation?

It all started LATE THIS AFTERNOON, just before 4PM. My home's main A/C unit, the one capable of keeping the entire house cool, stopped working. The "safety plug" (the type with a 'RESET' button like on a hair-dryer) shorted out to the point that it slightly melted and left a burn mark against the wall plug. It didn't trip a breaker in the house wiring but I can't reset the "safety-plug" and I'm not effing with it today as that unit faces the setting Sun and it's just too hot in that part of the house now. I have smaller A/C units in 2 of my 3 bedrooms so at least that part of the house will stay cool.
In any case, I stuck to my plan of doing the weekly grocery shopping so I took a shower and went down to start the car. No keys. Hmm. I grabbed my backup keys and then discovered the main keys in the ignition... which was left ON! The battery was completely dead since it's been left with the ignition on since Friday when I cleaned the door cards and the windows. Putting the windows up & down to either Windex them or have them avoid the Sun-protectant I applied to the door-cards is why the keys got left in the ignition. I know; MY FAULT.
Hooking my jump-starter to the car's battery it signalled a connection-fault as the battery is so drained it could not verify that I'd got POS-to-POS, NEG-to-NEG and so signalled an error. Modern technology so smart that it's dumb. So right now I've got my old motorcycle battery charger, one that belonged to my dad which is thankfully so old it's completely stupid and was (no kidding) probably made when I was a teenager, on the job. I didn't read the writing on it but I'm guessing it's around 1.5amps. IT IS slowly charging the battery though, so I've that on my side!
I have only potatoes, gravy, and 2 or 3 chocolate-chip muffins in the house. Really. That's it! Why do you think I was going grocery shopping?!! My plans for a dinner of Argentine Red shrimp are now only a sad memory and if I end the night with a Mickey D's triple cheeseburger and a large sweet tea I'll consider that a win!

So, do you feel better about YOUR life?
