I blame Cosmo for the existence of a universe to even be at stake.

Cosmo...stop it. I can't go into details right now, but you know what you've done.

Augh, Cosmo! My preferred vendors for sating my tiny plastic crack addiction have recently become quite unreliable, with random preauthorization charges that appear & then drop off my card (messing up the balance for other purchases/bills), and items I preordered on day one going straight to backorder without ever shipping (or me being notified). Now I have to scramble to locate & lock down a few items that are sold out nearly everywhere else, which when that fails, means I have to scrounge up the extra cash to get them at scalper prices.
And that's the stuff keeping me (marginally) sane and distracted from the actual issues worrying me (Dad's health, the overheating truck I drive, my own broken vehicle that I can't drive, expenses increasing with no increase in income, etc).
I know you can't help all the misfortune -- it's just your nature -- but remember it's a marathon, not a sprint; you need to pace yourself doling out the misery. I've still got decades ahead to suffer.
Um. Unless you're saying I don't have decades ahead of me.

I blame Cosmo that the local supermarket that I shop at most frequently will be closing early next month. There's one last location that I can visit (for now), but it's a further drive and the traffic there & back is terrible. Also, the closing location has a lot of sentimental value, as Mom started shopping there when it first opened and I still associate it with her.

I blame Cosmo that this brings back painful memories of our own corner store. The owner got up every morning at 4:00 am, drove across the bridge to San Francisco in his truck, loaded it up with hand-picked produce, and brought it back to the store before it opened. I'd literally walk there every day (a block and a half), pick the best-looking produce, and build the family dinner around it. (They had a full-service butcher as well.)
The owner retired, two young guys with *no* grocery store experience took over, they made a ton of concrete improvements to the ancient store, *but* they considered produce a loss leader and went with the lowest-cost delivery vendor. Now you can literally find something rotting in every bin.
So I don't shop there any more, and I am sadness.

I blame Cosmo for also being one of the people who bought that corner store.
Also for picking the other buyer, who is likely Cosmo's clone.
I blame Cosmo for cloned sheep as well, obviously. The logic is sound.

I blame Cosmo for the ignominies I must endure passing through the American Airport System not once but twice tomorrow.

Cosmo. Dude. We've talked about this. It's Friday.
You killed power to an entire town last night. I was *eventually* able to get my client's servers to come back up and behave normally, but it took a few hours and I have to get a root cause on why the SAN took four hours to stabilize after coming back up.
Then I got notified that a different client in a different town in the complete opposite direction was having horrible noises coming from their server room. Go out there and yeah...UPS battery backups aren't supposed to make crackling sounds.
This is all on you.
Knock it off.
