I sure hope it is true that bad things come in threes!
Because that means that I don't have to worry about anything for awhile!
Yesterday was not good. I got up in the morning, started the coffee maker, and it did not start. The light did not come on, nothing - Oh noos! No coffee on a Monday morning is not a good thing here at Castle Arrgghhh!
So I had to drive to Walmart and get a cheap coffeepot to use until I can get the good one in to be repaired. The one that broke is still under warranty, but it is a 100 mile round trip to get it to the repair shop.
I went to my pottery class, and the muse failed me. I was unable to do anything with the clay.
But that was not one of the bad things, no.
The second bad thing that happened is that my car got stuck on our road. I was driving home from class, and doing okay, but then, going up the hill towards our driveway, I could not get any traction because of the solid ice caused by the county grader that was supposed to move the snow, not pack it down and make it a skating rink! I tried to back up, and the damn car slid over to the side, and almost into the ditch. So, I walked to the house from there, and the car is still sitting there, waiting for it to thaw enough that I can get it back into the driveway.
That should have been enough, but no, it was Monday, and the bad vibes were strong!
John let Gunner and Kiki out for their last doo doo of the day. When he opened the door and let them in, they ran into the bedroom and nearly knocked me out - with their smell.
Oh, yes, another close encounter with a skunk!!! And this time, Kiki was the culprit victim. So we sprayed the stuff we have for such things on her, but she still stinks, and the house is stinky, but it was only 5 degrees out there, so she slept in out bedroom, stinking up the whole house all night long.
Sigh.
No more bad stuff!!

Your three is complete. You may now move on to the evening gown portion of the competition.
I hope it gets LOTS better, Beth.

The important part is that you were able to get out and walk home.
Glad you are ok.
