The jinx and the Birds
My birds have returned!
I am assuming it is the same birds and the same mom? They could be different who knows. But I purposely left last year’s nest alone, because I read that birds will return to the nest again to lay new eggs.
So my birds have returned. It makes me very happy. Seeing the bird inside the nest, getting it ready. The dad perched nearby being all loud and chirpy. if it’s like last year, I can expect the baby birds in June.
In less uplifting news, I have majorly jinxed myself. I said, OUT LOUD, for all the world to hear, how happy it made me that I will have my car paid off by end of the year. What is wrong with me. So of course, within a week, the car has started falling apart: my driver side window stopped working; I gouged a nice big ugly scar along the side when I backed up too close to a sharp-edged pole; and then yesterday my beloved princess broke the center console. Whenever we go for a ride, ginger rides in the back but likes to rest her upper body on the console and watch the scenery unfold. And it just snapped under her, so now the whole thing is all loose and jangly. The window is fixable and the damage is repairable (bye bye stimulus money!) but I don’t see a cheap way to fix the console. So now I’m gonna have a janky car, as just a gentle reminder that life gives you a cookie, then kicks you in the shins, then takes back the cookie.

I never should have talked about it. I tempted the gods of chaos. I AM SORRY OH DELICATE MONEY UNIVERSE.
Must sleep now. It’s migraine week for me. Need rest. Turn off screen. Close eyes. Be quiet, brain. Be quiet, bladder. Shhhh. You good. You okay. You fine. DO NOT THINK ABOUT… well there you go, you did it again, going against my explicit instructions. You deserve your insomnia.
