Bad things seem to happen in 3s.

In early January my roommate John and I were going to check out the sushi place in the recently reopened Student Union on campus. A guy driving the other way turned in front of us and the cars collided. The collision was pretty scary. At one point I thought that the car was flipping over, but afterwards I knew that it didn’t happen. It was totally the other guy’s fault. John was driving and his car was totaled. His toe was broken and I came out of it a little sore. The other guy and his passenger were okay as far as I know.

At the end of February, guy broke into my mom’s house and attacked her. She fought him the whole time. She wasn’t seriously hurt but she was really shaken up by the whole thing. The guy who did it lived only a few blocks away. Mom recognized him as someone who she had seen walking down the street one day when she went to check the mail. The police knew that this guy had been going around committing lewd acts like flashing to elderly women. He’s in jail now and hopefully he’ll be there for a long time.

At the end of March my grandmother fell and broke her hip. They were going to perform a hip replacement surgery and they discovered that she had suffered a heart attack. She suffered another heart attack while they were testing her. She went into a “risky” surgery and they removed a blockage that was causing the heart attacks. She’s doing better now. She had the hip replacement surgery last week and is now undergoing rehab.

I’m hoping that this month will continue to be pretty stress-free.
