Never ask what else can go wrong.
Because as soon as you ask that, something else will go wrong.
There is just so much going on around here, it's absolute chaos at times, I am completely overwhelmed at the amount of crap that I am having to deal with, and I made the mistake of asking the universe what else they felt like throwing at me, so the universe answered.
Last night, Mark went in the kitchen to get a snack, and grabbed the handle on the silverware drawer, pulled, and the whole drawer front came right off in his hand.
I was able to nail it back in place, I need to get some wood glue and some small vice grips to hold it in place until the wood dries.
Today, Mark went in to take a shower, slipped, and he so he grabbed the hand-held shower hose to keep himself from falling.
He didn't fall or get hurt, thank goodness, but the hand-held shower broke.
It snapped right at the screw on part of the hose, snapped it right in half.
I luckily, still had the old shower head, it sucks, it's a low flow and can't be moved, but at least we will still be able to take showers until I can go and buy a new hand-held shower head.
It's just one thing after another around here, it just keeps piling on, and I am so overwhelmed with everything, and it totally sucks that more and more keeps getting added to the pile of crap that I am trying to wade through.
I really hope that all of this madness ends soon, it's more than I can take right now.

*hugs* Around here we never ask what else can go wrong, because like you, we have found out through experience that if you ask, you'll find out that PLENTY can go wrong!
In the last week alone we lost our electricity for 22 hours (had to get a motel, wasn't that fun?), had a part of one toilet break (the chain that connects the toilet handle to the stopper in the tank) and a seal within the faucet of the other bathroom's sink give out, and yesterday I noticed that the seal/gasket around my car's windshield is cracked and missing up in the corner, resulting in my windshield literally flapping in the breeze! UGH.
I hope that nothing else breaks in your house, and that everything is okay!

Kat, hang in there! And I'm glad nobody was hurt when those accidents happened.
