I believe very strongly in the principle of karma.  One good turn deserves another.  I also believe in balance or equilibrium.  For every good thing there is a bad one.  Last week I wrote about how things were finally starting to go my way with a pretty good run of luck.  It carried on after the last blog post and I litterally stumbled onto a stainless steel cooktop to accompany my new refridgerator and microwave oven.  Like the fridge it needs a few hundred bucks to make it useable, but also like the fridge it was totally free.  Even better its brand new.  All in all I expect the cooktop to cost me about $300 for a unit that normally retails for $1200.  (its a VERY nice cooktop, normally I wouldn’t concider investing $300 in a stove, but I’m positive this one is worth it.)

Well following the principal of balance though something bad has got to be in the works.  It didn’t take long to find out what it was.  As a part of the process of closing down the retail store I’m working at, it falls upon me to get the building prepared for turn over to the landlord.  I spent the last few days of the week cleaning up outside and sadly I made a grotesque discovery.  In one of the flower pots that decorate the side of the building santa left me a surprise. 

Under a tarp on the side of the building I discovered a fresh born kitten who couldn’t have been more than a couple of hours old.  Mom must have heard me working and booked it out of there.  I took it to someone I know who can take care of it and the kitten is doing well.  She’s sleeping for about five hours between feedings and is dragging herself around.  (I assume its a she)  I went home feeling both bad and good that day as I am sure I saved that kittens life, but I’m also pretty sure the work I was doing might have been the cause of her losing her mother.  It was inevitable though.  Even if I hadn’t moved the tarp, someone would have because its got to be done.

Well I was off the next day and when I returned to work later that week I made the flower pot discovery.  A whole litter of frozen kittens, some of them half eaten.  By the factor of balance, any good karma I earned by saving that one kitten just got buried and I’m in for a rough future.

I’ve got a photo of the kitten that is alive.  Once I find the time and motivation, I’ll get it off my phone and onto the pc.  Then I’ll probably come back and update this post with the photo.  She’s a solid black cat.  I haven’t seen her eyes since they were closed when I gave her to the “cat lady.” to be raised.  She’s said they are golden though.  The cat lady’s daugter is planning on keeping the cat and is going to name her twilight after the movie.  I don’t know much about it but i guess its about a vampire with black hair and golden eyes?

Anyhow, look foreward to my next post as its bound to be a doozie.  When Fate, Karma, and Balance get together to deliver payment on this one whats coming for me is going to be a doozie.
