= unlucky. Sometimes one has a streak of bad luck. Mine was this past weekend. I cannot even remember every little unlucky thing since there were so many, but here are some of the lowlights... I tried to wash a chenille blanket. This is something I will never do again! Our washing machine broke down in the process and the blanket came out half of what it used to be. The entire chenille fabric came off! The washer got clogged and Nils and I spent the better part of Sunday night flushing the machine to get all the fluff out. We eventually were successful, but now despise chenille. Then, I thought a workout was in order to relieve some stress. I took Charlotte so she could play in the daycare, but... the daycare employees overslept! No one came even after half an hour so we had to go home. On my way to catch the bus for work this morning, in the rain and slush, I discovered my engagement ring was missing! I had to spend an hour and a half retracing my steps and being late for work. I eventually found the ring at home in our entryway. So, fortunately everything turned out well in the end God proved to be on my side, but my patience was definitely tested.
