I think I’ve upset the universe

I think I’ve upset the universe.

I’m having the worst few months. Back in July (might have been end of June) I went to see my GP and, long story short, he told me I might have cancer. That was not good news, and it left me very worried for a while. He referred me to a specialist at the hospital who sent me for a scan and… I don’t have cancer.

What should have been good news however has turned into hell.

The week after that, Jon came to visit. Everything was great. I went back to work the week after, only to be summoned into a meeting telling me that the company was in trouble and all the dev team would be having “risk of redundancy” meetings.

After three straight weeks of those, we all lost our jobs. My (now former) employer is now a software development company that no longer employs developers.

During those three weeks, I also caught COVID again. My mum works at the hospital and she was dealing with patients who had it, and she caught it, and I caught it off her. Lost my voice this time. That was new. Cough and feeling absolutely horrible was familiar though.

So, I’m recovered from COVID and now unemployed, and… my dog Jax is now hurt. I don’t know what he did, but he’s limping terribly. He wouldn’t let the vet fully examine him yesterday (he’s in pain, who can blame him) but the vet has given him painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicine, so hopefully after a few days that works. Otherwise it’s x-rays I can no longer afford…

Did I piss off the universe somehow? Why is all this shite happening at once?!

So, don’t know how active I’m gonna be the next few weeks. On one hand, I have a lot of free time. On the other, life kinda sucks right now and I don’t know what to do for the best.
