the 'pattern of 3s' often has some truth to it... an exasperating day of work ( today was a workday loss with near-total system shutdown most of the day and partial recovery by far-too-late to get what-needs-done done), followed by the laundry room being closed for repairs until Sat, followed by no grocery deliveries available until Sat! I know it can't be because of Fri 13th, I've always had great Fri 13th's - wth?
BUT only 2 workdays 'til vacation - split by a weekend with my lovely spawnlings :)
