Some Success, but Mercury still has a Good Laugh

I assume that the retrograde Mercury was responsible for a large part of what happened to me tonight. I was busy waiting for the decision from the Rental Board to arrive in the mail. I finally went down and picked up the mail. Yup. There it was. A letter from the Rental Board. With trepidation, I opened the envelope, and extracted the piece of paper inside. It seemed a bit thin for a judgment. I had a bit of trouble reading the French, and then I realized why. What I was reading was not the judgment, but information telling me how a judgment could be appealed. But where was the judgment? I checked the torn envelope I had already thrown into the wastepaper basket, but there was nothing else in it. It appeared to me that they had mailed me the judgment letter without including the judgment itself.

Putting it all down to more garbage to deal with being caused by Mercury being retrograde, I decided that I would make myself a cup of coffee, and then write a blog entry about the situation. It was at that point that I noticed something weird about the stuff on the desk where I dumped the mail. I noticed the back of a staple which was holding several sheets of paper together. There should not have been anything like that in that spot. I checked the sheets of paper, and sure enough, there it was! The judgment! I somehow had managed to remove it from the envelope without even being aware of doing so.

I read the judgment, and found that I had had some success. The judgment of November 27 had been revoked, and a new hearing was ordered to be held. So it looks like I won't get dumped into the streets in the middle of winter no matter what else happens.

So I guess at least it ended well - at least for now.
