Chapter Twenty-One

Anna was not all happy to hear that Sniffy was not a victim of foreclosure, but rather a weenie dog that wiggled his way out of a hole in the fence of her soon-to-be neighbor’s yard. Apparently the person saw us at the house, then realized the dang dog was missing, just in time to catch sight of Anna driving off with said pup in lap. Stealing your neighbor’s pet is not generally a good way to start off the relationship. I am mortified. Now I need to buy Anna a dog for a closing gift. I tell her that since she has such a big heart, why not go to the dog pound and pick one out. I will pay, plus take her to the pet store for food and supplies. She buys this, but I hear her sobbing. I ask if I should take the dog back, but she says she will. I am deeply relieved.

Upon further reflection, having your clients steal dogs is also not a wise way to get referrals. I send the neighbors a nice card with a picture of a puppy on it. I am hopeful they will see the humor once they understand the backstory. I have to have wine tonight.

Ron has not sent another text. Does this mean he was drunk? Ron barely drinks beer. Maybe Barbie is driving him to drinking? I consider deleting his text. Then I read it again. He did say he missed me. I guess it’s kind of sweet. I decide to text him back.

“Thanks, but I’m moving on with my life.” I hit send and wait. Wait for what? If he was drunk, he’s going to be like, what in the heck? Even if he wasn’t drunk, what if Yoga Barbie is sitting right there with him? That could be disastrous. I would hate to see her hurt after I had her forgive him and everything.

Herman and I think about karma. It’s wonderful that Wikipedia has so many spiritual concepts. I mean, knowing the precise definition of things can really get a spiritual blogger’s brain in gear. Karma…now it seems there are a couple of different meanings.

Karma (Sanskrit: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of “action” or “deed,” understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Sikh religions.

Karma means destiny (loosely speaking) in Indian religions.

I also learn that there are cities names “Karma,” music albums, and even a place to eat in Northern New Hampshire. However, I am relatively sure that Yoga Barbie wants me to write about cause and effect. Also, the idea of destiny seems palatable. And maybe they are the same thing?

Ron leaves me for someone who hires me. She forgives him for lying about me, and then he says he misses me, but I tell him I’m not interested. Is this like the best example of karma ever? I guess I could try and see it coming back at me, too.
