A list of things that went wrong this week:

1) I lost a set of keys during our move

2) We collected $150 in parking tickets in one night. Before you say, 'Wow! That's a lot of tickets!' I will point out that there were only two. One for $50 and one for $100. Together they add up to nothing but joy.

3) The Comcast cable man decided that using a drill to drill a hole through our wall was just too damn simple. Instead, he decided to use a screwdriver and a hammer. This is a bad technique, particularly if you want to keep the plaster from exploding into a grapefruit-sized hole on the other end of the wall. It looks like lesson one of my home-owning fix-it jobs will be 'How to plaster a wall to hide a hole.'

4) I broke a glass door on one of our wall units by walking shoulder-first into it while it was open. I suppose I should look on the bright side: luckily, my shoulder remained in-tact.

5) I'm not sure what exactly happened, but it now takes my computer more than 5 minutes to boot. This only started happening after our move, so I'm convinced that something was jarred during transition. One of my hard drives is no longer showing up in the file explorer, so that may be the reason right there. Again, looking on the bright side, I guess I should be happy that it still boots at all.

And now I look forward to a fresh Monday and a week that I hope will ring with much nicer, and less menacing, vibrations.
