Can we talk about that one Wednesday last June that nearly broke me?
It was a Wednesday, June 14th, and I woke up to a flooded basement from a burst pipe in the utility closet. My car had a flat tire in the driveway, and I was already running late for a dentist appointment I had rescheduled twice. Then my boss called saying the quarterly report I spent 20 hours on had a formatting error and needed to be redone by Friday. I sat on the curb outside my house eating a sad granola bar, and a stray dog peed on my bag. That night I spilled coffee on my laptop, and it just shut down completely. I sat in the dark kitchen at 10pm and cried for ten minutes straight. Has anyone else had one of those days where everything just piles on and you feel like the universe is targeting you personally?

It's funny how bad days always seem to come in threes or fours like that.

Boy, that is the absolute truth. Just this past week my water heater went out on Monday, then I got a flat tire on Wednesday, and Thursday morning I woke up with some kind of stomach bug. It's like the universe just decides to pile it all on at once. Makes you wonder if there's some rule we don't know about.
