Bad things DO happen in three's

When bad things happen they happen in threes and I am a believer in that old saying because it always seems to happen that way. This time it didn’t happen to me, but instead happened to my friend while she was just here on vacation visiting me. Poor girl…she was attacked by the “Bad things happen in 3’s” myth. First, she arrived in Phoenix on Wednesday, July 23rd and she wasn’t feeling well. On the next day she had a fever and Andy took her to Urgent Care during the day because he was working from home. The doctor said she had strep throat. Yikes! Not fun while you are on vacation. So, she basically slept all day Thursday, Friday and into Saturday. When she did crawl her sick butt out of bed on Friday she found herself faced with strike two of bad luck. She decided to eat and she chipped her crown. Ouch! Talk about a fun vacation. It was a good thing that she did feel better for the Xmas in July party, but since she was on antibiotics she made the smart decision not to drink. She encountered the third strike on vacation last night when she was trying to leave Phoenix to head back to Madison. Her flight was scheduled at 6:25pm, so Andy dropped her off at the airport at 4:30pm and she called him soon after because she found out her flight was delayed until 10pm. As the night went on we were confused as to what time she was actually flying out because the website was saying 10am and the automated machine was saying midnight, so my friend decided to call Midwest to speak to someone to find out for sure before we drove back to the airport. She was on hold for 50 minutes and never spoke to anyone. Now that is what I call customer service. She decided to go to the airport anyway and we both assumed her flight would be at midnight. I dropped her off at 10pm and told her to call if it wasn’t at 10pm. I never heard from her so I am assuming her flight took off at midnight. Talk about bad things happening in three’s…first strep throat, then her chipped crown and finally her flight home.
