Bad to better to worse

The order went through, but it wasn't an easy go. Still. I deposited the treasurer's check into my debit/credit-card account, but when I went to pay for the comp, I couldn't get the money out of it, since they hadn't updated their system. So, I had to go the bank that just happened to be in the same shopping plaza as Staples, and get the money out. Whew. Slam dunk after that.

Then I come home from all that, and my mother comes home an hour afterwards (during which time I took a well-needed bath)... and we can't seem to find my father. He hadn't gone to work, and he was supposed to be going to Pennsylvania, but none of the cars had moved. I keep telling my mother we should contact missing persons (He does these disappearing acts when he's angry or depressed about something, and it scares me to no end, because I'm always afraid that one of these times, he's just going to leave and never come home, leaving us stranded financially. I can't work more than eighteen hours a week, or else I end up completely catatonic from stress, and neither can my mother).

I'm wondering if this computer I just ordered is cursed or something, because it seems to be bringing misery on this family...
