Is the streak over?

     Ray got a speeding ticket last night.  So far, nothing has happened today, so I think (I hope) our streak of bad luck has ended. Monday, we got into the biggest fight of our relationship, Tuesday I got laid off a week ahead of schedule, Wednesday the water got shut off because our landlord forgot (didn’t) pay the bill, Thursday some ass-fuck old farmer hit my car in the parking lot of IGA, and yesterday Ray got his ticket.  It’s 7:47pm right now. Ray’s gone with his friends. I’m at home with the cats enjoying adult beverages… please, God… the day’s almost over…

Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.  - Quentin Crisp
