Murphy's Law

Took my new car in for its first service today. The CD player in it hasn't worked since the day it arrived - so I thought - I must have tried 10 different CDs over several days and kept getting "load error". I gave up.
Of course I take it in today and the guy successfully loads and plays the very first CD he picks from my case. ARRRRWWWWWGHHHHHHHH!

Someone I know just announced thier "news" today about thier own little miracle. I was surprised that I actually felt so much genuine excitment for them, at least for a few seconds before the self pity crept under my skin slowly. It is not thier first child, though they have lost a little soul in attempts of this one. I suppose someday when I am on my second or third I will be judged the same way by others who are still without. It's tough - there's always someone on either end of the spectrum. Good news is that we've had some fun "practicing" lately and with the warm weather I am apprecaiting the time to putter outdoors and have a drink in hand while relaxing on the deck. There are worse things. :)
