Karma?

I am trying to think what I have done lately to bring such bad luck my way. My roommate was driving me nuts yesterday because her boyfriend is ALWAYS here. And she never cleans anything. I drove to my dad's in Spokane to get away. Driving always makes me feel better. On the way home my check engine light came on. I stopped to make sure my gas lid was on tight and that my oil wasnt low since it was overdue for a change. It wasnt either of those things. Then as I am driving through Coeur d' Alene, some mysterious object came out of no where and hit my windshield, sending little shards of glass and glass dust all over my front seat. I didnt see what hit me, and didnt stop to find out. My first thought was someone was shooting cars or throwing rocks and I wasnt about to stop and see who or what it was. Anyway the damage is bad enough I have to replace my windshield which is going to cost almost $200. We will see on Tuesday whats wrong with my engine. And my brakes need replaced as well. I lost the title to my car so I am over due on getting it registered here in Idaho. I got pulled over for that today but luckily didnt get a ticket. To top it all off, while I was escaping my roommate, my friend from CDA came down for the night and wanted to hang out but I wasnt here! I did get to have lunch with him today though. Wasnt nearly enough time before he had to head back up to work but it was nice to hang for a little while anyway. On the brighter side I have lost 13 pounds and am in the lead at work for our weight loss contest. The winner gets a gift card toward new work clothes. I am only 2 pounds ahead of second place and 3 pounds ahead of third place so I have to get my butt in gear so I can hold onto my lead.
