Alright. So back in December it got down to like -40, on his night our only heater decided to go out at around midnight and every store within 3 hours was (on top of being closed) sold out. So we had no heat and were pretty much wearing 5 layers of clothes plus blankets to even be considered somewhat not freezing. On this night the water pipes all decided to burst! Then came the 3 months of trying to get things fixed.
1. Almost froze to death
2. Pipes burst
3. Had to buy a new heater.
4. Insurance company won't help, have to pay for everything ourselves.
5. Fixed enough to get water to half the house because we couldn't get the parts to fix the rest
6. Elements on the hot water heater went out so we replaced them
7. The entire water heater went out so we had to replace the whole thing
8. The kitchen faucet broke so we couldn't do any dishes or cook anything that involved water
9. We replaced the faucet the hoses weren't long enough to reach the new one
10. The valves that give water to the washing machine started leaking so no laundry
11. Today we replaced the hoses and tore apart the bathroom to fix the parts we couldn't get to before, turned the water back on and not only did the pipes we put together the first time unseal and start leaking again, but the valve on the upstairs sink exploded and started flooding the bathroom with boiling water.
TL;DR Life sucks. Can't get a break. If there is a god he hates the fuck out of us.

I wish the cats would die. But nice things never happen to good people.

I know some people have said it before, almost as a joke, but it almost sounds as if traveling will be a better life option for you.
I hate this book, but I think one of the easiest and most common examples is Into the Wild. If you go down south, it would actually be pretty easy to survive homeless, and even pick up a job somewhere. Chris had a thousand opportunities to make something out of nothing, but ended up going to Alaska instead and died.

I don't even know how to respond to that list of events, asides from saying that it could still be worse.
And if it helps, here's one way to look at it: It's not God hating you, it's life giving you trials to surpass. Show that shit who's boss.

That has steadily become one of my least favorite phrases.....

You will be stuck like this forever until you get off of your lazy ass and do something about it

My ass is not lazy, and even if it was my ass is not Piponaria, God of Exploding Pipes and Watery Destruction, Lord of the Heated Waters of Mount Basement, and Devourer of socks. Thus my ass would not be able to solve any of these problems.
