Three In a Row?

In 2007 we discovered mold in a downstairs bedroom. It was in May, the day before Mother's Day.

In 2008 we discovered mold in our 2nd floor bedroom under the upstairs shower. It was in May, a couple of days before Mother's Day.

It is 2009. Dare we go for a threepeat? In the house we are renting we discovered a hole in the tile right next to the water knob. We're still having weird symptoms but we don't know if it is this house or the pesticides outside, our reactions to each other, or, dare we think it, mold? There's no way it could happen three years in a row, right?

So we tested. We sent the dishes to the lab. The doctor's assistant called Andrea. Then she called me.

Drumroll.

The laundry room had something like 2 spores, and both bathrooms had only a couple of spores of common mold.

Sigh.

This is the type of thing you fear, that there is something lurking around the corner that is going to zap you. But we've dodged the mold bullet for the first time in three years. And I'm glad, no, really glad we don't have to move soon.
