The power of threes: Yesterday was a thoroughly nit-picking day, full of fussing with the title companies about recorded documents.... So, on the way home, I stop at an ATM to get cash out and find out that my account is overdrawn by about $500! Worried I sped home and got online -- like an imbecile, I paid a bill out of the wrong checking account and the money is sitting in one place while I am in the red elsewhere. Duh. So I write the check for deposit and put it by.

Fortunately I have some water stored from last year. I wash up a little, brush my teeth, drag a comb through my hair, grimace at the mirror, make sure the cat has plenty of water and get dressed. I pull out a necklace that I bought from a craft place in NM, and beads go bouncing all over the place -- one of the strands has broken. I pick up the beads and wear the necklace with only two strands anyway.
At least I rounded out my set of threes: bank, power and necklace. Leave for work over an hour early, make my deposit in the ATM and they still won't give me any cash. Shrug and stop at Starbucks then come to work.
Three good things to offest: At least it isn't Monday! The bank thing was easily fixed. And it isn't too hot yet and there was plenty of light with which to see and I did have water stored.
