Week In Review

Another week down, another Friday has come. I am going to try to at least do Friday segments to keep everyone up to date.

1 - My asthma is back in a really bad way. Peakflow is down several hundred points and I am on another steroid to try to help it.

2 - We looked at an apartment yesterday - what a friggin dump! They actually showed it with a joint still smoldering on one of the nightstands, the entire place reeked of b.o. and pot, and pizza boxes were stacked floor to ceiling in the kitchen. We'll keep lookin.

3 - I won the lottery yesterday. Overall (2 scratch tickets) $750.00. We decided to tuck it away, except for spoiling our little one and our soon-to-be little one with a shopping spree of clothes.

4 - While driving our car I hit a very bad pothole. 1' wide by 8" deep when the tow truck driver measured it. It snapped the tie-rod on the driver side front. Cost of tow and fixing the car: $500.00.


Which brings me to my main point for the day: Luck is all in how you look at it. As a rule, my wife and I have not had good luck with luck. We dread the good things because they are always, ALWAYS followed by the bad. Nothing can every be handed to us or be easy. We have fought tooth and nail for everything while the cosmic forces have tried to take everything away from us. I wish I were being melodramatic here. Number four there is just an example of this.

We can look at this one of two ways:

A: My wife's point of view: It's hilarious. We should expect it. laugh it off, we'll get by.

B: My big worry: Again the universe has proven that we can't keep happiness. What happens when my wife gives birth? After all it's already been a problematic pregnancy.

Yes, I am relating the two. Overdramatic and very drama-queeny. But heck, I can't help it nags at me.

Well that was our week. Baby count is: 24 Weeks Along. Next appointment is next week, w ill post an update (with a ultrasound pic if possible) then.
