In late November, while I was writing a blog post on the upcoming Mercury retrograde – December 29 to January 18, 2023, in Capricorn – I think the law of attraction kicked in. Here’s what happened within a period of about three days.
On Friday, our router died and then our Internet followed. It seems like this kind of thing happens a lot on Fridays, which means you’re stuck the entire weekend without a TV or Internet. In the meantime, we’ve had a water leak somewhere in our house a have had 3 plumbers here, trying to isolate it. Our usual water usage runs about 3000 gallons month. This past month, it soared to 27,000 gallons.
Guys with sonar equipment came out and after 4 hours on two separate days, they couldn’t find the leak either. We hired another plumber, a guy who works for himself, and he was able to isolate it to the back bathroom. He changed 2 outside faucets, too. No sonar equipment, just years of experience. Because of the holidays, he can’t return until the Friday after Thanksgiving for the final verdict.
Then, on Saturday, we got home from the dog park and my iMac wouldn’t take my password for the computer. All my work is on it. So tomorrow (Monday) it goes to the computer doctor.
On Sunday, since we still didn’t have Internet, we had to postpone our interview with our guest.
So, within a weekend we had a slew of Mercury retro type events.
In the meantime, I turned in the article and am hoping that ends this stuff. My focus is now on Thanksgiving and, well, getting my Mac back intact.
Or you can just rephrase and say “when it rains it pours.” Always happens to me, lol.
True!!
Usually, I get a slew of these kinds of problems at the beginning of Mercury retrograde. This round has been quiet, eerie quiet. I do love Merc retro for the energy of getting editing work completed and working on revisions. Synchronicity delights me everyday! Thanks for keeping this foremost in mind.
I figure these events usually crop up in the shadow period . But this wasn’t a shadow period!
