My Microwave is Dead

My Microwave is dead,
it departed for Microwave heaven yesterday
now I have only a slow cooker
and a toaster oven to use.

I would like to know why stuff like Microwaves go out at the most inconvenient times. I know what Murphy's laws says, but that doesn't answer my question. Why do things like this happen when you can least afford a new one?

Cooking chicken and meat isn't a problem because I can use the slow cooker. The toaster oven will work for toast, grilled cheese and franks. However, I haven't yet figured out how to bake a cake or cook a turkey in either of those. I can do both with a Microwave. I can cook anything in a Microwave that is working. I now may have to learn to cook those things in a slow cooker or a toaster oven.
