3 Bad Things - Hooray!

Three bad things happened to me today. Why am I happy? Because things invariably happen in 3s so now that 3 things have happened, the streak is over.

1. Went to dentist for a temporary Crown and was in the chair for an hour. He said that the nerve was very close to the surface and he will take the nerve out on Fri 9th when I have the permanent crown put in. When the local anaesthetic wore off, it was REALLY sore! I hope I cope with it until the 9th.

2. Went to visit Kate and Nigel. My little scooter was parked outside their house when the dog began barking. Kate looked out of the window. A gang of youths had thrown it onto its side and scattered the contents of the basket everywhere and tore off the raincover. The neighbours said the gang had opened their front door and roared at them, waking their baby. I don't think the scooter is damaged but we will need to look at it in daylight. Nigel put it in his car and brought me home.

3. My computer is dying. I use it a lot and am dreading it giving up completely. I'm lucky it worked this time - it kept flickering and opening programs at random then not responding then rebooting. It is quite old and has had a hard life and wasn't a very good one to begin with. But I will be very sad to see it go as I have had so much pleasure out of it. I like editing photos, creating brochures and business cards, researching and learning, writing documents, participating in groups and emailing family overseas. It will be a major blow when it beeps its last.

Three things? Thank goodness it is over. Now I can relax and look forward to tomorrow.
