jaded and unlucky

Today, the first Thursday of August 2012, is considered one of my unlucky days for the year. I don't know, maybe I woke up at the wrong side of the bed. The bleak rain which downpours every hour, and I am not even enthusiastic about it. I cooked my lunch and while I'm preparing the table, I decided to gather our waste and take it in the street for garbage collection. Alas! As I am getting out of the house, the wind slammed the door shut and locked me outside. I have no way to get in! My lunch is still being cooked inside with no supervision, and so I tried to go to nearest public phone to ask for keys from my housemate. Suddenly the rain started trolling, and the wind shut me again outside with the gate. Now it is getting worse. My neighbor tried to help me by climbing our property so that he can open the gate from inside. Since this time I am starting to panic by the cooking, I break the windows (unfortunately with iron grills) so that I can pull my bag where my keys are (fortunately it is reachable from outside). This happened for about an hour.

When all this have ended, I just thought that maybe I am lucky after all! My jaded brain and rain-soaked body can still appreciate that this misfortune could have been more horrible if fire has started to crawl its way from my cooking...
