link's iron boots

i am ready for this year to be over.
in one week alone my water heater burned up. yep, there was a hole burned through the metal of the water heater. this happened on a sunday. went to home depot on monday and bought a new water heater and then had to take a half a day off from work so someone could install it.
after the install water heater dude went to turn on the breaker to the water heater. the electric panel started crackling a little. now at this point i would like to add that i have heard the electric panel do this before and wasn't too concerned however, since the breaker didn't trip when the water heater burned a hole through the metal cover i decided to deal with the problem. so....2 days later an electrician came out to check out the electric panel. when electrician dude tried to trip the breaker, nothing, nada no sound, no crackling. electrician dude said nothing looked bad or over heated. so ok fine. at least i dealt with it and nothing was wrong.
this monday, i had taken a vacation day and i woke up to a strange noise. when i got up the outside heating & a/c unit was making A LOT of noise. so i called roscoe brown to come and check it out. heating dude shows up, listens for a second to the noise and says "i know what the problem is, the motor for the heat has busted, and it's not cheap" me-"how not cheap is it?" RB dude went to get his book and it would be around $400. well i need the motor for heat. and i would rather deal with it now than later.
today is thursday and nothing else has happened. i am hoping the the mystery of things happening in 3's is working for me.

through all of this i keep going back to the 'LEGEND OF ZELDA:TWILIGHT PRINCESS" game. or whatever the name of it is. the main character "LINK" in the early stages of the game gets awarded iron boots. these boots allow him not to moved. he can be knocked over but not really moved. it's like when he puts them on his is stuck to the ground. walking is hard. so he only puts them on when he doesn't want to be moved. i feel like i have been wearing those boots all year. wearing iron boots and slowly trudging through the months. and i'm kind of tired of being knocked over. money is flying out the door and sometimes i think that i would rather be renting. AND it's only march.
