if bad things come in threes...
Did I mention that the engine in T's truck died an inglorious death on Sunday? It did.
Did I tell you that we accepted a hand-me-down couch from my aunt and uncle who are remodeling, sight unseen because they always have good taste and it would HAVE to be better than the one we had, and then after we moved the old couch into the schoolroom where, basically, we won't be getting it out again unless we just want to destroy it -- anyway, after that, my parents brought over the new couch and it is totally, wretchedly ugly? Yeah, that too.
And then today, our dryer died. It has always been an old, noisy dryer; we got it for free when we moved into this house eight years ago. Today I turned it on and the noise changed, increased, and then was accompanied by a suspicious burning odor. So I just spent two hours and TWENTY FREAKING DOLLARS at the laundromat tonight, because wouldn't you know this would happen when the laundry had, er, been backing up for a while.
If bad things really do go in threes, I sure hope the couch counts and we're done. sigh.
