Calamity

Nothing is working right.

I knocked a big chip out of my car's passenger-side side-view mirror. And Husband nearly asphyxiated me with paint removers and gasoline when he was cleaning up after some work in the garage. And the 45-page paranormal novella I am working on has disappeared from sight in my documents file. And Mutual of Omaha sent a contract for life insurance instead of the requested accidental death insurance. And the Geek Squad "calibrated" our new giant TV so the color went bad, the picture got fuzzy, and the channels take as long as five seconds to change.

In other words, it's life as usual. No matter--I'll keep my lipstick red and my smile bright.
