Week 1 : Erin into ER  ..

Week 2 :  Dobhie daycare dilemma ( not going into it but it wasn’t much fun)

Week 3:  Father in  hospital after ambulance took him into hospital ( I’m ooo   thousands of miles away and the passport has expired.  To call the passport line here it’s $3 a fucking  minute.   Thanks  guys  I’m sure the taxes I paid back home could have covered that shit. Fuck you had $170  a year for me for a license to watch television.  As you can see not having a fun time.     It gets worse  major threat to  financial stability has appeared on the horizon and this time  it’s compounded by one of the best taoist examples of  being unable to tell what’s good and bad when you are close to the event   yet in hindsight..

Try this on.

This may be illustrated by the Taoist story of a farmer whose horse ran away. That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. He said, “May be.” The next day the horse returned, but brought with it six wild horses, and the neighbors came exclaiming at his good fortune. He said, “May be.” And then, the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. Again the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the misfortune. He said, “May be.” The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of the broken leg the farmer’s son was rejected. When the neighbors came in to say how fortunately everything had turned out, he said, “May be.”

I’ve just been lucky enough to have been given such a horse.

May be….
