Crash, Boom, Bang

Life has a cruel way of sneaking up on you!!! Just when you were beginning to hum and take each day as it comes...WHAM, a million things go wrong all at one time. Ok, well, not a million, but you know what I mean.

That was me between December and exactly last Wednesday, 19th January. I'm not sure if somebody felt I was prancing around in too much of a contented state and I needed to wake up, but boy oh boy did they wake me up!!!

Now I'm a girl and apparently we are masters at multi-tasking, but Wednesday I failed miserably. Trying to cook, update FB and LinkedIn, read emails and fix my iPod, I came up short. While frantically returning to the kitchen, as I forgot about the pan on the stove , I hastily picked it up to which it replied with a mean dash of hot virgin olive oil all over my index finger and thumb. Mother of pearls it was excruciating!!! I quickly applied cold water and ice, but I dare remove it from my hand and it was, excuse the pun, on fire!!!! I have a new found respect and admiration for people who suffer horrendous burns all over their body.......I was desperate for some morphine for a mere index finger and thumb!!! A week later and it does not look pretty, but it gets a lot of attention......ha!

Then, Sunday and Monday while trying to get some work done, my computer decided to take a vacation or just move on completely, I'm not quite sure, as I need someone to have a look at it, but really, did she have to be so inconsiderate?

Tuesday was the straw that broke the camels back. While driving, the car in front of me had to slam on brakes to which I had to slam on brakes, but unfortunately I did not do it quick enough and my car chose to get up close and personal with the bakkies undercarriage. Ofcourse, the bakkie was not damaged, much to my relief, but my poor little boo needs a new bumper and bonnet. Doh! A bummer bumper/bumper bummer.

When I look back at this scenario, it's clear, as the saying goes, things happen in three's. Three wake up moments in the space of one week. It all begs the question, why? Why could I have not won the lottery ( I suppose I should enter), been given a suprising increase or contacted by Josh Groban to write awesome music together. Alas, lady luck is not on my side.

In the meantime, I will just gaze upon my misfortune with some humour and hope that this next week will bring a different type of three.

I think my phone is ringing......
