Sounds like an exceptional run of bad luck. Hope you get a break soon!
Sounds like that old hillbilly song: "If it wasn't for the bad luck,
I'd have no luck at all"
I think it originally came from an old Irish or Gaelic saying.
Nah, it was an excellent song from the blues/rock band Cream.
By booker t. jones and william bell
Lyrics:
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Bad luck and troubles my only friend.
I've been down ever since I was ten.
Chorus
You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.
Chorus
First verse
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck.
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all.
Born under a bad sign.
Born under a bad sign.

I like the Hee Haw version better. It changed every week, but her is
one version:
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
We figured she was rich, loaded to the hilt
And we figured she had class like the Vanderbilts
'Cause we had heard for years how she was so well reared
How was we to know they meant the way she was built
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me

There are two kinds of people on this earth:
The crazy, and the insane.
The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.
