YOU KNOW YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY --WHEN!

The day never ends
and extends to the next day
that never seems to end
It always begins
On January 17 when Mom died
Several years later
Sis died on the same day
January 19 your wife
Needs back surgery
Two weeks later she breaks her ankle
in three places
Red warning lights come on in the car
The spare car battery dies
$1800 later everything is---?
Fast forward--The furnace went out
Smoke alarms went off get out of house
Brand new a blower shorted out
I sit writing this in the cold
Furnace under warranty parts shipping
It is cold outside and raining cold inside
The transmission stuck in reverse
I am wondering if I should drive it
Opened the kids oven door and it fell down
Mere miles away a mountain collapse
Killing many neighbors under the rubble
You know you are having a bad day--when
You are afraid of the next disaster
