It Comes In Threes

Why is it everything comes in threes?

My college student daughter's car needs work and she brought it home today. We decided to rent a car but the fee for a 21 year old to use it is too expensive. So I'm using the rental.

Then about thirty minutes ago, our big screen TV fizzed out. Bad. It's only two years old.

In the past, whenever we had things to blow or wear out, our bonuses at work took care of them. But we haven't received a bonus this year and we're having to hit our savings again. Not that I'm really complaining as many people don't have any savings at all. For that matter, many people are without jobs. But it's still a bummer.

I just hope number three won't be too bad.

[added 10/5: I just realized number three (actually number one) happened the other day. Some of the sheet rock on the garage's ceiling fell on my car last week. My hubby was able to wax the scrapes until they're barely noticeable. But now we can see the attic. Hopefully it will be okay until we save up the money to repair it. ::sigh::]
