Is it because Mercury's retrograde?

I am not usually a superstitious person. That being said, I have had a run of bad luck with regards to things breaking lately.

Last week it was breaking a bunch of dishes when my shelf gave way and tossed a bunch of heavy things onto the floor and counter.

Then on Saturday the cats shattered my full-length mirror.

On Sunday I discovered that the head of my garden rake has come apart from the handle and will need to be screwed/superglued back in.

Then today as I was opening the fridge door to get the wherewithall to make my lunch, my carton of eggs came sailing out of its nest in the door and landed with a sickening crunch! on the floor. Total casualties: seven out of nine eggs were toast.


So, dear Universe, what the hell?

It must be, because Mercury has indeed been in retrograde since Thursday.

Seven out of nine, you say? There's a Star Trek joke in this somewhere.
