It’s it crazy how the universe works. You ask for something and want it in the best way possible and then the universe finds the worst possible way to give you what you want? It reminds me of all those books I read as a kid about wishing upon a Genie who would give you your wish in the most twisted way. Are the magical powers of the universe, or God, then exactly just that? And if so… then why?
The other night I woke up to go to work, and as I was getting ready to leave I texted my coworkers “man I’m really dreading coming into work tonight” and explained further something about not feeling so great. My body was aching all over and felt crampy but other than that it was a night like any other for the most part. R had taken a bath. Sagar was feeding her dinner while video calling her grandparents while I got ready for work.
T-10 mins to leave.
Five minutes later I hear a small exploding sound and then a hissing sound that sounded like a gas leak. Gas in the bathroom? No something must be wrong. I opened the cabinet and hot water started flooding the cabinet, and then quickly the bathroom. I yelled for Sagar who ran up within seconds. I ran down and outside the house to find the main water supply as water started coming through the ceiling onto the first floor.
Within a matter of just a few minutes our lives had turned upside down. We didn’t freeze, we acted fast and got the water supply off within hardly 3 minutes but the damage was done. Our home had flooded thanks to a burst water pipe.
And just like that… I didn’t have to go to work that night. I mean I went, for half the night cause I didn’t know what else to do after a point. But never would I have wanted to “not go to work” for that reason. Clearly, the universe is never on our sides. So, I guess we should all be careful about what we speak into it…
From a mind that spends a lot of time thinking...
